What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I knocked one out and I went to my base to get the kibble when I came back the spino was gone I knocked it out near a mountain so it could be easy to find but it was gone any tips on why that happens?
This son of a carnivore killed my Pachy and my iguadon.. I didn’t even tame him yet and the fricken spino came after me the second after.
It's quite hard to tame of these bad boys, unless you know how to do it. Spinos get distracted EXTREMELY easily, even a coel will make them stop chasing you, so by FAR the best way to tame them is to trap them. Use 3x3 stone foundations. then build 12 doorframes on each side as walls, and put a ramp big enough for the spino to walk on. You know, the classic trap. Kite them into it(the have a big turning raidos on all 4, so take note of it) and then trap them. They are quite fast so use something fast too, like an argy or ptero. Then, once trapped, knock em out with tranq darts, and give them exceptional (or argy kibble on mobile) kibble, if u can't get that use raw prime fish meat. Once tamed (it will take a while, get at least 300 narcos, even if ur using kibble) and once tamed, slap a saddle on it and ur good to go!
dude it's so easy to tame these powerful dinos just get on a cliff or high rocks where they can hit u then tranq arrow their faces I did it in no time if u want turn up the tame right so u dont wait hours taming lol I used narcotics and bio toxic and I am pretty new at the game try to get low level ones bc it's easier and u can level it up overtime by killing low stuff plus at decent levels ot can take out t rex no problem
I use rhyino and place in a self made trap with 20 foundation stone/metal and 20 door frames and only need 35 arrows with mastercraft Xbow lvl 130 dpino
Torpor goes down faster than Rex so be careful, even god console might not save you
On mobile, when I was new and low level but wanted to tame spinos - I used to bring in some life bait to the spinos to distract it from attacking me (tamed carbos and parasaurs with high health, around 800 or 1200) or let it aggro a wild Dino for a bit, and when it focuses on the Dino bait, I hop to a safe distance and tranq it until it was knocked out. It took me at least 10-30 tranq arrows.
I just give it raw fish, and when taming it took too much time and the torpor bar starts draining fast I give it some narcotics or bio toxin I get from killing nearby cnidarias (at least 60 narcotics or 30+ bio toxins) then just wait.
Kept doing it until I have like 4 spinos run after runs.
The spinos often spawn on the coasts and beaches in the footpaw region which is where I usually found them. Sometimes they do spawn in the river near the volcano and the waterfall and rivers in the redwood forest.
I knocked one of these out with like 15 tranquil darts he is now on probably 22%
Step 1: find a T rex eating a carcass and run from him
Step 2: run towards the spino and let them fight.
Step 3: let the spino kill the rex then save Alan Grant stuck beneath the trees.
Conclusion: The worst controversy ever
Cool new way to regen a Dino’s health if it wakes up!- so I was taming a max spino on rag and it woke up as I was getting prime :p. So because I used my horse it’s health was to annoyingly too low to knock out again and this thought came to mind, will it regen faster if I give it a corpse? Keep in mind this spino had 3200 max health and was only at 300. I killed a Barry and it amazingly regenerated all its health! Now, idk if this works with other corpses so try it out! Thanks for reading and have a good day :)
Best way I think is to trap them in a box,make sure that the walls are at least 3 high because they will climb out!!also loads of narcotics or narcoberries,they lose torpor almost as fast as Dimetrodons.
Spinusoreis are cool dinosaurs with spines
Things you will need:
Tranq arrows or darts. ( I needed only 12 )
Longneck rifle or crossbow. { I used crossbow}
The trap method:
Take some stone pillars and place in an area a spino will fit. Then tranq it up and feed it (raw prime fish meat works best )
Your spino is tamed
The old school method:
Get up in an area higher than the spino and knock it out. You will need to chase after it tho. Then feed it.
Your spino is tamed!
- Dinoshark.
This is for every Ark Mobile player:
1. Make a trap.
2. Knock it out with the ascendant bow from the “Kill Dilophosaurus Persuit.
Get soothing balm. Tame.
Done.
Build a Pillar Trap and Shot with Darts on him!
The best thing to find one is flying over the river randomly. if you found one make sure he cant hit you (go on a boulder or on a cliff) and shoot at him with tranq arrows. If he is unconsious just put prime or normal meat in him and make sure you have enough narcotic (i tamed a level 50 first and it needed about 200) and if you are escorting him into your base do NOT attack any strong dinos he cant handle it if its a level 100 or less spino that does not mean its weak but you have to level him a bit before killing strong dinos (the spino level 50 got 22 level with the taming bonus and he died at escorting him to my base from a therizino btw that was 30 mins ago now im mad at this game, it was my first spino)
