How do I kill a spinosaurus? spinosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
USE SARCO ITS FASTER IN WATAR if you wanna fight it then just bully it with pteranadon by hitting and flying keep in mind that these can two shot you at level one since they do 60 damage and rapid fire so I tamed one by getting it low with some trans and trapping it in some rocks
Wooden spike walls don't help against keeping Spinos out, just does additional damage. Trust me, multiple Spinos and Brontos have stepped over my walls, but still took damage because of them. I've killed... Maybe 4 to 6 Spinos now, thanks to the help from the walls?
The classic 4×4 trap doesn't work on mobile, it has to be quite bigger. What you can do instead is use 4 dino gateways and 1 behemoth gateway(with gate) in a circle and lure the spino into it and close the gate. The dino gateways don't need gates.
Everyone keeps saying the spino is bad they can post up against rex’a and other powerful dinos
I tamed a 145 and the second day I have it I D.C. From the server and when I did my spino which was 254 at the time fell through the map.
In abbrent spino will be more powerful maybe
If you are lvl 20 or below run for your ever loving life because he shows no mercy
So uh you know the person screaming they’re not useless? Hehheh....lemme explain why so I have a spino named “the eye of death” because his eyes were red. But his real name was “devil def” so we were out on our Rex with devil following us. And a Tapejara flying over us to keep eye out because devil was not that leveled...my Rex was at max level. Death...not so much so he was about lvl 123 so then we saw this super low lvl brontosaurus so we attacked it but it almost killed my Rex IN ONE HIT!!! It turned out my Rex was getting bit by raptors AND WE DIDNT NOTICE!! So my Rex called Rexy was almost dead until devil killed all the raptors (about 20 of them) got leveled up (about lvl 140) and completely wiped out that bronto since we just put him on attack target because Rexy would have died then it will attack us (bronto not the spino or Rex) so Rexy still survives today!! And they both found mates! Ze end!!!! ÙwÚ
Once one of these things was chasing me. After about ten seconds the battle music stopped so I stopped sprinting. Then out of no where it jumped on top of me. The moral here is beaches are not safe
To those trying to find one of these, look around in the river channels near the green obelisk. If that doesn’t work, kill all the fish in your local river. Killing the fish seriously works… I’ve done it several times. Unfortunately, the spinos were low level, so I killed them for EXP. Repeat until you have high level spino.
Here is a tip for people trying to kill or tame a spinosaurus
1.make spike walls and in the center of it make stone pillars about 5 of them then get the spinosaurus’s attention and shoot it until it dies
2. Do the same thing for killing BUT don’t use spike walls when you do that get it’s attention and shoot it with tranq arrows till it’s knocked out
My tribe mate sent me a pic of one with a red nose. Ima get some traqs then name it Rudolph

These things are so annoying when you get in their way and they are really fast so watch out the bes way to knock them out at a low level is with a crossbow or if you got a blueprint a rifle with tranq darts and feed them raw fish meat
So I had just tamed an argentavis and not long after we had encountered a spino and it immediately killed her and I hadn't even had her for that long :(
Never give up the highground to this dino if it starts running from you look twice cuz it just fooling it will come back yo 😢😢😢 be safe taming one
So Bronto hit me to a swamp and I saw one and took my rex and sed what's up and slap my to death RIP rex
If you are hunting for one make sure you have a ranged weapon so if it tries to run you can shoot it.
If being chased don’t think going into the water or scaling a cliff is a good idea, they’re great swimmers and when on four legs and climb decently. They are distracted easily, so try to get it to agro on a herd of trikes or other herbivores and run off to a safe distance.
Newbie: Hey look a over grown dimetrodon. Imma go pet it
Over grown dimetrodon ( aka spino ) Why are you choosing death mate
(I think he was an aussie lol)
So if you want to tame a Spino on single player after a short amount of time one will appear in the lake by south zone one (starter Island) I hope this helps
