What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They'd say a rex is better until getting bitten on the back of it's leg and it takes an hour to turn and fight back, a spino stands up, turns on the spot, slaps the unlucky thing into the next life, they're also extremely fast and agile, I prefer them over the rex any day of the week
I absolutely destroyed this thing with my brontosaurus I avenged my fallen Dinos it was a massacre on both ends
These are hard to tame and very powerful in water and on land
Isn’t really consistent) and they lack knock back.
5. Looks. Ok. Listen. I know this sounds biased, but, come on, look at the spino. It sail gives it its distinct look and makes it stand out. Meanwhile with rexes “WAIT OMG IS THAT A GI- nope. Never mind, it’s a rex”
So, that’s my argument on why spinos are better than rexes. Don’t get the idea I’m calling rexes useless I just think spinos are a bit better.
Tysm for reading (*^u^*)
They’ll run like their sails are on fire. If it’s tailgating you, get away!
If you are just starting a world and you see one if these bad boys and its level 100 or less here is how. First tame up a triceratops level 60 or higher and make sure its health is in the range of 900 - 1200 then keep hitting and moving away from its front continue that and it will run away thats how you scare/kill a spino.
Super easy tame picked up my lil bro with my argy and he shot spino with tranq crossbow fed it some fishys and biotoxin and boom done
This Dino is op it is faster than allos not in water and in water its rivals gallimimus speed. It has better dps than a Rex. It can swim very fast making it a good travel Dino. And it has great stamina unlike other large creatures. It’s only downside is it’s not as tanky as other large creatures like Rex,bronto,titanasour etc. also it’s saddle is cheap and they are relatively common spawning on the island. The only problem I have is I find it very hard to find a good level. Over all this is one of the best Dinos in the game. To tame this you will have to make a trap or it will run away and you won’t be able to catch it. And if you are a low level do not try to fight it. To kill it I always tried to get it to hit a bronto so the bronto can kill it. I hope this helps.

They love fish meat than meat so feed it with fish meat or prime fish meat
The only reason i only buff speed and stamina on evrything
They are not easy to tame but a easy way is to get one large trap and 2 stone dino gates and pillars about 8 and build it then attract a spino then run out the Crack and run to the open door close it then tranq it
Here is how to tame a spino!
Material:
Trap 1
9 stone foundations
36 stone doorframes
9 wooden ramps
Trap 2:
6 Dino doorframes and 1-2 large bear traps.
Use Dododex to find out how many tranq dart/arrows and bring 50 to 100 more.
Cryo a good herbivore/prepare TONS of narc berries because they wake up insanely fast
Steps:
1.Have a flyer that can actually carry the trap if u use the first.
2.Find a high lv spino
3.lead it into the trap and if it’s trap 2 quickly put the 1 gate left similar to Rex trap.
4.Shoot a bunch of tranq into its face/body
5.Put food that’s at least better than prime. I suggest prime fish or kibble
6. Starve your tame and use the bed trick and shove down hundreds of narcoberries if needed
7. Boom you have a amphibious carnivore!
Advantages over Rex(which you do know how to tame I suppose)
Faster, and stam lasts longer
Has a hydrophilic buff that increases speed stam and dmg
Has way better DPS than Rex
Has incredible knock back that kills Rexes and alpha raptor carnos.
Harvests loads of fish and bio toxin
Hope you enjoy your giant carnivore with a cool look!
Warning if you decide to spawn in south zone 1 on the island, spinos occasionally spawn. When I was still a newbie I went onto a nomadic journey, once I got better, I ko'd and accidentally killed the spinos.
To the person who said: “they are easier to tame then a Rex!!!!!111!!”
They are not easier to tame then a Rex your out of your freaking mind
Bear trap + Tranq arrows. Congratulation, you
Killed a spino
Once you find one, try leading it somewhere farther from the ocean or a large lake. It will just run once it has a high torpor (and there fast) into the ocean and if you nock it out it will drown and if you don’t it will prob get killed by Meg or something. I know from experience:
Put five stone dino Gates and a large bear trap. This is optional but safer if you use it. Lure the spino in and quickly go to the back and place a final gate then just tranq it.The bear trap makes it so it won't escape while your placing the last gate
Best mount for killing alpha mosa and obtaining ascendant fishing poles take three to 4 buddies on spinos and scuba tanks and goto town enjoy the fishing I have 15 ascendant poles sitting in my locker right now
