What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
How can you beat a spino with bow and arrow
As far as I know, only 3 wild carnivores will aggro onto the sight of your spino, other Spinos, Rexes, and Gigas. You can probably outfight other spinos, outrun rexes, or outfight lower level ones, and outrun gigas. Very useful.
if you are new (lvl 12-ish) here's how to deal with this punk, make sure to have these:
-Full cloth armor + a gift cloth armor piece
-10+ spears
-bow and 20 arrows
-if you're in that level, metal axe or pickaxe
-slingshot 30+ rocks
-a dino (2 dilos or if you managed to get one, a trike or carbo)
-a will to live cuz getting all that SНIТ isn't gonna be easy
These guys will be your best friend.
I am not joking.
I play mobile, single player, and I have one named Butch, tamed him when I was at level 20 something and him level 17 I believe, he’s now level 43 and the only place he doesn’t go with me is underwater and caves.
Do no be scared grabbing one, I was terrified taming Butch, but in all honesty he wasn’t that bad, I was just paranoid. While narcotics are good to use, I find biotoxin even better and it easily knocks a spino nearly back to full tempor.
I used a crossbow and stood on a sharp cliff face, letting butch run around and kill the other animals in the water, which did actually distract him long enough to knock him right out. I highly suggest trying to grab one in the easier areas, mine being from the Long: 40 Lat: 80 area. Here you can easily get biotoxin too, as the jellies spawn in the area pretty frequently, it being a low level area and they’re easy to get to with a crossbow!
Happy taming fellow survivors, good luck!
Just seeing one of these bad boys/girls just puts my heart into fast mode.Taming these are kind of easy as long as if you have a dino to give to it and has to be high hp so my pt died to it and dododex was kinda wrong because it just took me like 5 to 10mins and was a lvl7 I used raw fish meat(I don't have prime fish meat my sacro ate them all) and baby sitting was actually very easy unlike what I knew there was no gigas,rex,Titanoba,raptor's and etc it was very easy as feed look at the purple bar thing I know it has a name but I don't know that spinosaurus killed a FREAKING LEVEL 29MEG WHEN IT WAS LEVEL9 WHEN IT TAMED UP THESE THINGS ARE BEASTS
I tamed a lv 116 whith just a long neck and darts on foot they aren't as hard to tame as people say.
If you tame a 30-40 early game along with tame bonus you can kill most anything in your way.
They drown if knocked out in water :(
IF YOU CAN'T FIND THEM READ THIS!!
Spinos spawn along rivers on the island and are counted as an aquatic tame so they are affected by the aquatic spawn cap. This means you must kill fish to get them to spawn. Good luck!
If you don’t see a spino to tame kill all the fish in a river.
One of the most powerful Dino's in ark above a rex but below a giga and a carcha. Beware you will die if your a beginner and approach this thing.
If you see these freaken things just run if you don't have a long neck rifle and chitin armor they will wreck you face I learned that the hard way
I play on PC so I’m going to tame one on extinction today, so I think that I’ll use the method of a couple stone floors, doorframe’s, and a ramp. I think that that trap will work perfectly cause it is good on Rexes and other larger Dino’s.
How to place:
It’s really east honestly, just place a 5-5 foundation, 3 doorframe long square with ramps on the side for it to go in. I’ve tried and it works on pretty much everything to a Rex. (maybe make it bigger with a Dino gate too ) also, you can run and make it follow you and then just run out of the door frame to tranq it. This is honestly the most OP trap. Wish me luck!
Ok so I met a level 108 spino should I tame it?
I had tame a spino level 15 but I am just level 27🗿
How!!?
At zone 2 of south region
And going up the river...
Please please don't close to him
If you want try my experience 👇
I'm going up cliff and he can't climbe up that
Just 15_20 tranq arrows with crossbow
And please make sure you have enough toxin or narcotics
Sorry for my bad English:)
Make this up¯\_(ツ)_/¯
To all the people who are like “there is a spino how do I deal with it”
Well I have had first hand experience fighting these as a low level. So really you have a few options. You can
A: try to kill it with ranged weapons
B: try to kill it with wild herbivores
C: use your tames to try to kill it
And
D: run
For A
You will want a decent crossbow and 10-20 arrows for a level 1-10. Then get high ground to shoot at it. Spinos have low health off they are low level. But it will try to run
For B
Try finding high level or very strong herbivores
Hit it with a bow and get it to chase you. Then run past a herbivore that’s good for a fight with it and maybe try to help it with a bow
For C
You will need a strong tames and basically you want the spino out of water and you fight it with your tames. Whistle target and send them to fight. Make sure to back them up so use a ranged weapon
And finally for D
D is actually really complex and risky. You need to get all your stuff and put it in your tames and run away from the spino. Now you should scout where your gonna go first and make sure there’s a way to get around all the threats.
There's one at the beach that must have eaten about five of my ready to tame Parasaurs.
Low levels stay away
Just shoot them from a hill it’s genius I’ve been doing itFor a while Because I live on a cliff In my survival single player Island
