I tamed one of these in easy mode as soon as I got tranq arrows /lvl 21/ they are terrifingly fast like most starter tames can't outrun it.
Just finished an hour long hunt for a lvl 150 aberrant Spino in the Valguero ab trench. Pro tip, kill every karkinos first. And probably every other spino too. Also, don’t do what I did and forget that they eat fish. He dropped 1/4 of his torpor bar before I remembered. Luckily there were ab salmon in the river there and with an apprentice chainsaw I was able to get enough prime fish meat to tame him up before he woke up angry. He’s level 219 now after taking with 92.2% effectiveness only because I accidentally loosed one extra tranq arrow after he fell. He is called Sigurd.
The spawn timer on these is terrible takes like an hour or 2, if your trying to tame one and you’ve killed all the low levels just leave for a few hours or your gonna have to wait a long time
I kill it using this stuff:
1.Longneck rifle(and scope if u have)
2.My flying dino(any but fast)
3.Search perfect spot to sniper it
Then,you shot it while he can't attack or reach you but watch out it run if he hp low.
these aren’t bad if you’re prepared; I killed one at lv 10 with only a bow and arrows and a cliff. Great for hide and meat harvesting
If spinos are still a fish eating pain in the butt, you’d better keep a safe distance and take a bunch of screenshots, so next time you run into one, keep away from it
If you see one, and your a low level, just run. Don’t shoot it, just turn, and run. If your level 50+ then I say go for it. DO NOT ATTACK UNTIL YOU REACH LEVEL 50 OR HIRER! IT WILL SLAUGHTER YOU.
First of all: Get your strongest unit and head to a Spino. Second of all: When you see your creature getting more bloody than the Spino, Distract the Spino, Go to your base & get your army prepared, once the Spino comes whistle at the Spino & fight, helping your units is a great solution if you start losing whistle all your guys and run away with the guys. Find a powerful unit your 100% confident you can take down, feed it while it’s unconscious, head back to the Spino then send your overpowered army to it use all your strength to rather tame it or kill it.
My stupid dinos keep mistaking this guy as an enemy when trapped
So I went hunting for raptors then I found a few otters, so I went and killed a few fish to kill it. When I tried to tame the otter, out of no where a spinosaurus came out the ran right past me and killed a Alpha Triceratops in like five plows and I ran as far as my little legs could do. DO NOT KILL FISH NEAR THE BEACH!!!!
To kill, or drive away, prepare 100+ ammunition of any kind, depending on the lvl and quality of your weapons. Ranged weapons are best, and these guys run away when on low health or high torpor. To drive out, just lower its health to around 10% or less of their health, this’ll be hard depending on the level of the spino.
For new people struggling, these guys are close to impossible to kill while touching water, never fight them in water, but they do get distracted by fish really easily, if one is too close to your preferred area and your not ready to fight it, drop all your valuables at your hut, have a sleeping bag or preferably a bed in your hut, grab a bow and a few arrows and hit them from far away till they follow you to a different section of river or beach, they might get distracted before they get to you, and if you have a mount you can usually outrun them, they won't get away from water, so if you peg one in the direction away from your area and run up hill once they get close they'll forget you and relocate to the nearest fish. They actually aren't too tough on dry land if you have enough dinos to get them stuck so they can't run back to water, I've taken them out with 5-6 dilos and a few Teranodons. On dry land.
There are two sails in this world . Ones a lizard the others a friggin giant that kills everything it sees. And I got one outside my thatch house. Don’t be a noob when you see it... your sure to die.
Spino is really dangerous but it is my favorite dino, really strong, the first time I found one it was in "The Island" on the beach where I started, supposed to be a safe place... The Spino just decided to start killing every living thing he saw, it even killed 3 Megalodons at the same time after a massive killing spree on the beach, that thing is crazy!
Now imagine me at really low level trying to kill/tame a Spino mudering everything it saw 😂
Just have six dilos and four turtles, they took that sucker alive when he tried to mess with me. I will forever be greatful for them
Ok so on my single player (moblie) i explore with my pterodactyl (its autocorrect) and on EVERY SINGLE river there is a spino wtf dude i do avoid them so there is a good sign
Trees can’t help you anymore. They will always get to you.
