What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I caught one of these at level 26 and it took me 2 1/2 hours of feeding it and keeping it unconscious. If your impatient like me, then load up your crossbow and fire away. After it’s knocked out, gather loads of narcoberries, fish and regular meat. Keep the fish in its inverntory and load the meat in with narcos. Switch back and forth to make the unconscious bar go up. If you run out a meat, then I’d recommend a raptor to help you collect quicker. Stay in that area while hunting as you don’t want to go so far. It does slow down the taming when you force feed it the narcos and meat. Patience is the key here. Always keep a dinosaur near you to get rid of threats. Taming early has a big impact and dramatically helps you. Just get ready to spend long hours doing so.
If you are a player in aberration there should be plenty of spinos
Razorsharpspino it is very good
They don’t acro easily, I stood about 3 feet away from one and I was fine til i stepped under it, They are terrortorial so don’t be afraid to run past one while it’s eating a fish or something, just make sure you run fast if it does Agro.
The tame and knockout time is different on console (ps4) along with hatch time, please update for console players
Just hope it goes to the ocean and gets eaten by a swarm of megalodon.
I used a Giga style trap, 3 dino gates and a large beartrap with a fourth gate in my inventory, and it worked great. Can’t stress enough that the torpor timer is hectic to keep up with. Good luck out there guys.
How to knock out: Stay at a high place and make sure u have about 35 tranq arrows and shoot him with about 17 and then it should pass out there is about a 63% chance it won't though
Bring a bird to any river, lure it by shooting tranqs, when it's chasing you jump on your bird, find the nearest cliff fly to top, shoot it from above, keep your bird close but do not enable follow.
Curently taming a 125 accidently took everthing out of its inventory and taming went down 3 percent in 5 seconds, yet they eat like every minute.
Helps significantly,the size,the teeth,the claws,a great player on your dino team.
When taming I like to go on top of a high rock and shoot it
To complete your taming on any dino( exept for passive taming) it is best that you wait until your dino's (knocked out) food number has decreased to a pretty low number so that it eats whatever you feed it faster to finish the taming quicker and maiximize your dino's levels!

Tamed a Spino with kibble crafted a saddle and he glitched to death somehow...
This is the best water/land mount I have tamed. Raw prime or kibble are the way to go. Great for fighting megladons and other sea creatures. I use mine to farm pearls and oil. It also collects meat and prime meat as well as a dire wolf or bear would. Side note: almost nothing will approach you when you ride it. Terror birds literally run away.
What are good stats for a wild one I found a 130 with 3k health and 200 damage
