What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.

The Supreme Spinosaurus
DIFFICULTY LVL:- 6/10 [INTERMEDIATE]
IN ORDER TO TAME A SPINOSAURUS:-
THINGS YOU'LL NEED:-
1. A Crossbow and some tranq arrows or a Long Neck Rifle and tranquilizer darts.
2. Exceptional Kibble, Raw prime fish meat, Raw fish meat or Argentavis Kibble (Old ARK Mobile only).
3. (If you wanna tame with a trap) 15-20 fence foundations and stone walls and finally the ramps.
TAMING:-
METHOD NO. 1:-
If you have a quick mount (such as Gallimimus, Kaprosuchus, Raptor etc) you can outrun the Spinosaurus by putting some points in speed and knock it out.
DIFFICULTY: 8/10 [ARDUOUS] YOU'LL HAVE TO RUN AROUND WHEN THE SPINOSAURUS WILL RUN AWAY FROM YOU IN THE DANGER.
METHOD NO. 2:-
If you have a tanky mount (such as Brontosaurus, Paraceratherium etc) the dino will take/ressist the damage while you're knocking it out.
DIFFICULTY: 7/10 [MODERATE] THE SPINOSAURUS'S SPEED WILL BE MORE THAN YOUR TANKY MOUNT AND WILL RUN AWAY EASILY INTO DANGER.
METHOD NO. 3:-
Build 10-12 stone pillars high as it won't even reach to you and you can knock out the Spinosaurus.
DIFFICULTY: 7/10 [MIDDLING] HOWEVER THE SPINOSAURUS WILL RUN AWAY FROM YOU EASILY.
METHOD NO. 4:-
Build 15-20 fence foundations and stone walls of atleast 3-4 times higher and finally the ramps, then lure the Spinosaurus into the trap and knock it out.
DIFFICULTY:- 1/10 [EFFORTLESS] THE SPINOSAURUS WON'T WANDER AROUND AND YOU CAN KNOCK IT OUT EASILY.
FACTS:-
1. The Spinosaurus's saddle unlocks on lvl 71, and it needs - 380 Hide
200 Fibre
45 Cementing Paste
25 Silica Pearls
2. It does have an untameable version in Extinction which is the Corrupted Spinosaurus mainly in the Wastelands.
3. It has a Hydration Buff that allows it to increase its damage and resistance when in water.
4. It is quite quick mount in water as well as land.
5. However, for beginners, they are quite dangerous and harmful as they spawn in the Southern Regions.
THANKING YOU TO SEE THIS TIP :)
OUR PREVIOUS PRO TIP:- The Notorious Carnotaurus
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
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
Taming a spino might seem hard at lvl 29, but it ain’t. Get 20-40 tranq arrows, a bow that doesn’t deal too much damage, and a butt load of fish meat. Shoot the spino at a long range, then when it closes in shoot it more, that will minimize how much damage you take. Once you have it down, keep a very close watch on it cuz spinos are very fast at losing torpor, use bio toxin as a narcotic, it won’t do damage and its effective.
This method had me tame 3 spinos in a day at lvl 29-31
If you are trying to escape a Spino, run away from the water, the Spino will get slower and slower and eventually turn around. I hope this helps, good luck!
There was a spino outside my wooden house, It noticed me. Goodbye house.
I've tamed two of these and to knock it out shoot on land from a far distance. Best all around dino I've found
Best described as an underwater rex...
Just put melee damage a little higher and you're done.
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.
I was crossing a river at level 5, hoping the evil fish wouldn't try to eat me, when I look to my right and see this huge spino not too far away from me. I start running (the water was very shallow) towards the shore, when I see a huge group of dilos and a raptor. I decide going to the reb obelisk wasn't worth it, so I turn around and I see another raptor on the shore I was coming from. On my left was just deeper water with the evil fish who's name I cant remember. Suddenly the spino got bored of killing fish and thought a human would taste much better. You can guess what happened next.
With a higher damage output and more stamina than a rex, the spino is an excellent alternative. The turning radius and hit box of spino makes it easier to hit targets as well, much easier than a rex. Not to forget the spino also shines in water, moving faster than it does on land and consuming no stamina while swimming, it makes for great escape route.
Overall the only negative thing I can say about it is that it's speed on land is slightly slower than a rex. If youre keeping it inland, consider putting a few points in speed.
To knock out ma boe if it is at least 25 level you can traq it easily with a crossbow. Please up this!
Easy to knock out as it cant destroy stone just make a raft with sone base on it and shoot it with tranq arrows from inside the base
Letting you know on Ark ultimate edition I tamed a lvl 20 spino with two raw prime meat. It said it would need 13, there’s nothing effecting the tame speed. Good luck taming one.
I love these guys! I have two at my base (a male and female) and can’t wait to breed them once I unlock ac engram ( I know I’m a noob). I tamed them on mobile using the soothing balm free gift, which is kind of cheating I guess. They still give me so much peace of mind knowing that whenever I run into some tickle chicken or something, I can just call in my big guns, Spadoodle and Spinerete.
I tamed one low level without any trap and just a bow lol just be careful while doing it
