Tips & Strategies
I built a small wooden house boat specifically to go down the river between fars peak and smugglers pass. I was half way between the mouth of the river and the bottom of that frozen peak where there where rocks in the stream, when I saw a spino. At the time I was pretty low level, so I waited for it to fight some dinos and get lower in health. Well, it happened. A herd of trikes fought it, and when I thought it was dead, I started passing through. Then a raptor pack showed, so I stood in the center of my boat, and attacked their heads through my walls. When I finally killed the pack, the spino was back. It wasn't dead enough for me to kill it at the time, so I had 10 seconds to process what to do: save my chest of stuff, or get out. Well I had to destroy my wall to escape. To most, that is crazy to try to escape such a fast dino, but to me, it wasn't. I had always put points to my own movement speed since the very beginning. I out ran that sucker. So dont ever assume their dead. Never.

If you are having a hard time finding spino's in their respective spawn zones (especially Ragnarok), kill all the fish in that area. They share the same spawn capacity and can be out spawned by coles!
Step 1: find a T rex eating a carcass and run from him
Step 2: run towards the spino and let them fight.
Step 3: let the spino kill the rex then save Alan Grant stuck beneath the trees.
Conclusion: The worst controversy ever
Okay, so, I know there’s this thing about how rexes are better than spinos and vice versa, but the spino is superior. It’s faster, stamina lasts longer, and its dps is insane. Not to mention that it has a hydration buff that makes it even more powerful. They’re loose cannons, which is why they die in the wild a lot: they kill EVERYTHING in sight and then they get killed due to the enormous amount of angry dinos chasing them(the spino is faster, but it usually gets cornered against a cliff). They also have two speeds that each come with their own attack… that’s pretty rad. Literally the only downside is their hp. Just upgrade hp to a safe level. Against the Rex, their damage output is way higher. The only thing they don’t match is hit points, but like I said just upgrade hp if it’s a tame, and you have a vicious killing machine. These are a must tame .Hope you enjoyed, even if it was long.😂
At least you can run from a Rex if it sees you.
They said the beaches were safe. The things I’ve seen on beaches would scare many men
Warning if you decide to spawn in south zone 1 on the island, spinos occasionally spawn. When I was still a newbie I went onto a nomadic journey, once I got better, I ko'd and accidentally killed the spinos.
Beware at least one spino ALWAYS spawns dangerously close if you pick south zone 3
Once I was just chillin at my base with my 4 trikes, 2 raptors and 1 bronto them this spino walks up to my base wrecks my house and kills my tames I barely get away on my raptor. THIS BEAST PLAYED VOLLEYBALL WITH MY BRONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tamed one now I have a big base lots of tames and my spino is the same one that ruined my base all that time ago. (Ironic right?)
Don’t mess with this unless you gonna tame it, it has high damage enough speed so you don’t get away and in the worst case a waterbuff
Which makes him do more damage and he never runs out of stamina cuz it recovers faster than it consumes it with waterbuff
As a beginner they’re your worst nightmare they will destroy your base and all your tames BUT as a tame your everyone else’s worst nightmare
