For taming use 1 behemoth gate and 2 Dino gates, lead them through behemoth gate and close gate, form a triangle with the gates.

So if you want to tame it and your low level, go up high. If you can't go high (like for me lol) then get flak armor. Full set is 500 armor (even alpha raptor and therizino can't deal a lot of dmg to you with that armor)! So I see one and I went on a rock (I was scared and was far away so I often use rocks as extra range not safety). It came to me and kept moving to the point I kept missing my shots! I called mine dodger (you know why now lol). Since I had my armor though I was safe. I'm gonna test chitin armor and see how that goes wish me luck lol.

The amount of tranq darts listed is very wrong.

Tame 2 high lvl ones and breed them to create a monster with mutations,my spino is lvl 215 and it kills alpha raptors and carnos in secs and alpha rex in mins and i filled it some points in oxygen if killed 2 alpha megs and a alpha Mosa without taking DMG (don't try tuso u will be traumatized for life time)

When you take a high level one of these and need to level it, just put it in aggresive behavior and leave it in the water, it will gain tons of levels from all the fish. This works especially on aberration with karkinos

People say ‘build stone pillars’ but all you have to do is get up high. Now take a rifle, use drank darts (I had 24 and maybe more, but I had some leftover and some shots I missed). Also, if you are on a hill shooting the spino, make sure it can’t climb it. Start shooting, and once successfully knocked out, feed it. Raw fish meat, prime fish meat, and I believe even raw meat, and raw prime meat work (I used fish meat, so I can’t be sure about the raw meat). I used bio toxin, with does +80 torpidity, while a normal narcotic does +40. It says the bio toxin does 30 damage, but it actually doesn’t do any (I believe it only hurts humans). Once you tame the spino, I must warn you, once you are able to ride it (after crafting the saddle on a smithy), if you run over small creatures you kill them. But other than that, they are a amazing, strong, swift creature. And I really suggest taming, I was scared the first time I tried, but you’ll feel the sweet triumph after a while. Hope you tame a spino! Up for noobs to see! Have a nice day!

DO NOT ENTER UNDERWATER CAVES ON YOUR BELOVED SPINO, YOU WILL GET FLUNG INTO THE ABYSS. Also, make sure that if you’re doing underwater exploration on one to always have them on follow, if you don’t, they’ll fly up to the surface of the water and you’ll drown deep in the depths of god knows where, also probably keep them on passive for this reason so they don’t start attacking something while you drown like “GET BACK HERE!!!”

Spino trap I made was 4 behemoth 1 door for behemoth 1 regular big door way in tye ground of the behemoth door way and place trap behind big door way (large trap) lead Spino in and close door and there you go you got your self a spino

Be careful when attacking a spino. I attaked one on my wolf which was fully implanted by me. I only got a few hitsin when he went crazy. They do lots of knockback so my wolf silver was killed out from under me and I barely escaped with my life only because of a bronto standing near by that I was able to run under. Upv ote so people can know.

Dont be scared of the big boi . He just wants some fishies.

At least you can run from a Rex if it sees you.

They can outrun gigas pretty easily on both land and water.

It was kind of ez for me to tame(I tamed this on aberration whilst riding ravager btw) first I went up onto a rock where the Spino cannot hit me then I shot it with traqs till it was knocked out,CARRY NARCOTICS OR BIO TOXIN!THEIR TORPOR RUNS OUT FAST! I tamed one by starving it and feeding prime it went up by around 80 smth percent then it was tamed!

Hope this was helpful!!

Bring this to swamps, not only they have high torpidity incase of titanoboa but they get waterbuff so u can cross safely and if you don’t have a mount you can hide underneath it’s belly whenever it says you have entered a danger zone and not feeling like getting bitten by a krapro, press up if this was helpful :)

Use the elixir from desmodus to get a 30% taming buff

These guys are one of the best Offense tames. They can also be used for water combat. Their speed is also very good for a carnivore. Its attack speed is also super good. They can destroy beach noobs easily in a PvP server. They also have some knockback.

How to tame beach spinos

First of all you want a minimum of 30 regular tranq darts.

I personally tamed a sarco for getting this spino.

Step one:

Get on the sarco and start shooting at the spino with the longneck.

Step 2: if it gets close go back across the river(sarco moves rapid in water)

Step 3:

Rinse and repeat.

[I play on mobile] If you want to trap one, I made a little tutorial you don't have to watch on YouTube or something! (Based off my tragic mistakes)

Make two stone dinosaur gate frames parallel to each other, then add two others creating a V shape at one open end, leaving a space far behind the V shape for the spino to enter

V

(Should look kinda like this, a smiley face)

Then, you can lure the spino in, bravely run behind the spino hoping it spares you, and finish the trap by adding another gateway to where the spino entered, aka give the smiley face a unibrow

Spino spawn bugs for those who do not know if u have trouble finding a spino for days clear the fish out of the water in the spawn zones leave for 10 minutes and u will mostlikley see a spino as the spine spawns get taken up by fish strongly enough

Bring knockout arrows! Or u will fail ... 80% of the time.
