How do I kill a spinosaurus? spinosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I live on a beach in some peninsula when one day I go to the left side which usually has hard to kill monsters just a little past the water when I see a Spiney I was like cool a Dino with a fin I have seen something like it on a transformers toy then suddenly 16 red glow trikes came and it attacked and killed them all with ease I was like “EZ I’ll go around” for a while it worked then later I go to the island a little past my right to check it out. Cool a bronco that is small and ugly (I was not testing it so went back) while I was also being chased by boa I found another on right side I was like “it fine it won’t get closer” few days later it was closer so I went home said to my self “it won’t get closer than that same one did.” One on left went into hiding couldn’t find it after few so was happy but then it came back and one on right guess what GOT CLOSER. So I set up emergency base a little farther on the right beach where spiney can’t reach but I had to much stuff to move (I grind a lot) so I used KO arrows on it and took my stand for a little though fast I took little damage when hit then it ran and returned to the spot on the right side of my beach where it sits and plans vengeance also at one point it laid egg but no other spinets were round except one on left but how did it get that close (this was at time when it was on the other beach on right.) could there be big mate reach for spineys?
If you aren’t on a good Dino and you see a high level spino the end is near you.
So for mobile players this is for you if you have like let's say a lvl17 ,18,19or 20 lvld trikes don't use them against a spino I learned that the hard way so pls don't do it
You should get a Spino. Beware of them if they are in water, and your low. You better gets some arrows and tranqs. If you are caught by them and low, you are screwed.
BEING NEAR WATER IS NOT A GOOD IDEA SPECAILLY IF YOU LIVE NEAR WATER
Help a spino is near my base pls help help this isn't a joke please tell me how to get rid of it OH GOD ITS BANGING THE GROUND WITH ITS HANDS ITS COMING ITS COMING
I found a low level spino on Fjordur in the aberration cave. Small room meant it couldn’t run far and you can sit on the waterfall yeeting Tranq arrows. Just remember to bring snacks! (For you and Dino)
Are these harder to tame then tyrannosaurus? I’m thinking of taming a spino. Down for hard to tame, up for easier/same difficulty as a Rex.
Killed a lvl 6 Spino as a nUB who just got the mastercraft bow from the Hunt: Dilo quest
Yikes ran into red drop with op spino and easily solo only try if you are willing to risk or you know they can easily overcome red drops
Spinos are usually passive when the are no dinos around. They usually aggro on anything that comes into their territory (e.g a player or another random dino)
Do not fall off a cliff if they're present....
Tutorial on how to kill a spino as a noob on ark:
Step 1. Get a bow and some arrows, use dododex to find how many you will need.
Step 2. Get on a really high and steep rock so the spino can’t reach you.
Step 3. Fire all your arrows into it and try not to miss.
P.S. bring backup arrows and don’t miss
Run you son of a bi*ch if you are under level 40 you piece of s**t!
Spinos stink. I’ve been killed by them. One destroyed my base. I. Hate. Spinos.
When in water I saw it kill an alpha megladon so if you got one it should survive water cave.
These are supposed to be rare, since they share their spawn pool with fish, but I found like six in a short distance from each other so Idk what to believe...
Crazy spino killed me all my tames and broke my base and me like a 1000 times
(wild) Spinos are the worst. But I have never tamed a spin-off I would imagine that they are amazing. But wild spinos are terrible. All they do is kill everything that moves around it. Other than other spinos. So one of them killed me and made me mad so I went to go get my stuff and I spotted an egg. I chose the stupid idea. I didn’t see the spino so I went to take its egg. And somehow it didn’t chase me. And I set up base on a island that has a big forest and a big swamp ( if you don’t understand then I live on a island that is in the big island) and it’s infested with spinos raptors Titianboas baryonyxes carntos and, I call them death birds but they are therinzasuarus. I think I spelt that wrong. One time I saw a wild spino fight a bronto and three alpha trikes and it won. This is my encounter.
All I know is to not try and run from one it won’t work they can run 5 times faster than you. but what I do know is that you have to use a giant trapdoor so number 1. Build your house on the bottom of a hill. 2. Find a spinosaurus then make it run after you but make sure your running speed is at like 300% . 3. Jump down the hill into your house then open the small door not the dinosaur gates. 4. Tranquilize it then badda bing badda boom you got yourself a spinosaurus.
