You can find tons of Spinos around the redwoods river

Do not underestimate their height, on two legs they can reach higher than the stone building height limit, outside of that they are pretty much the best water tame your gonna get, imagine a Sarco on adrenaline. I’ve got 4 of em now and don’t regret getting any of em

The best way is to be on something higher than it’s standing up head.Also I recommend that you use the grappler attachment on your crossbow to cling to a high tree(you might die if unprepared)

Lots of tranq arrows and around 100 narco berries

Hope this works(don’t forget to bring a paracute

Spinos are much more interested in you if u were near a lake or beach... they are territorial creatures however to escape feom that villian just run toward jungle or woods just run away as fast as possible from beach or lake they will lose interest on you in the end... well if u survived....goodluck

I’m locking through my telescope now it’s killing whole broths but I have A LOT of spike walls pray for me I don’t think I’ll survive this one

There’s about 5 around my base. There my favourite dinosaur species and I’m yet to tame one. Or two. Or ALL OF THEM.

I’m near the section with lots of rocks and no trees.

Ok i will give tips for taming spine boi( hes my personal fav dino)

1. If you want a trap, craft 14 stone pillars and place them like this

-

-

With the front ones 4 pillars tall the middle one 3 pillars tall and the back one 1 pillar tall. Or you can just find a cliff and shoot it there.

2. Tranq the spino(i reccomend you do hunt dilo quest it gives an ascendant or mastercraft bow)and bring at least 70 tranqs if you're using crossbow(by the way thats the amount for a 150)

3. Feed it prime fish meat and your narcotic of choice to keep it asleep.

4. Saddle it and there you go, a killing machine more versatile than the rex.

Extra facts:

Spinos can swim faster than megs.

Spinos get a hydration buff after touching a body of water(+25% movement speed, +10% damage and +10% stam)

Spinos have a bipedal mode where it gains 1.5x damage but reduces movement speed.

Hello I am the person who tamed Hemlock and posted the following tip:

Spino is my absolute FAV Dino. I haven’t seen one in ark cus I kinda like to keep to my own little area. There is a spino spawn thing a little farther than I have gone. Should I?

10 likes or up by Christmas = yes

At the time of writing this that tip has 184 likes. Not only was I convinced to tame Hemlock, my beautiful buddy, it gave me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone.

After I tamed Hemlock (who I named after the poisonous water hemlock) I noticed he was getting lonely. So, as any good master would do I decided to find a mate for him so he can stop feeling lonely. I hopped on my ichy, Mint Chocolate, and went for a swim to check out spino spawns by the coast. Wile I did find many promising spinos, none of them where female. At last I checked the last spino spawn I could get too by ichy. Nothing. Hemlock grew even sadder when I returned empty handed. It turned out Charlie, my baby raptor, over heard me talking to Mint about finding Hemlock a friend, then told Hemlock. I was heart broken watching Hemlock pout by the river all day. I checked a map that could show me the locations best to find spinos when I saw something awesome! There was a spino spawn just up the river by my base! I also remember seeing a spino there awhile back. Of course it chased me off before I could really take a good look at it. Immediately, I jumped onto my iguanodon, Nerra. Then road off to the river. As I arrived at the river I took out my spy glass to get a better look, and there she was! A beautiful pink and tan female spino! I noticed then that she was injured. Either way I would of helped her but, this was perfect because it meant less chance of her hurting me and Nerra. It was easy to calm her down with my traqu arrows and cross bow, and with a few narcotics and a lot of fish meat, she became happy with me. Ever since I brought her home Hemlock has been happier then ever. I named her Lilly, and she loves Hemlock and all of our tames.

PLS UP THIS ME AND MY PTERONONODON GOT KILLED BECAUSE I DIDN’T KNOW THIS:

They can break out of large bear traps in seconds. Beware of planning a trap and tame.

He attac

He eat ur biotox stack

If you encounter a spino and you don’t at least have a good triceratops you’re basically dead on arrival. Spinos aren’t big slow pushovers the way rexes are, they can and will actually tear you in half, they rely off a different ai than most creatures because their ai is programmed to spam attack as fast as they possibly can oh and they do a ton of damage, they can outrun and out swim you so unless you can fly or have a super fast mount be prepared to fight, you’re not outrunning this thing trust me.

Despite being big and burly, didn’t take much tranq darts to knock out one (especially an X-Spino)

If you start in the Southern Isles (south spawn region) and head west across the shoreline you’re bound to run into one that’ll be hanging out in a river connecting a swamp and the open ocean. Just be mindful of it’s location and try to stick near the trees while watching the shoreline.

The first day of ark I played I thought it was friendly bad decision…I walked up and it chased me…I ran into another one I lost everything

Always have a bronto with yourself or any other high hp dinosaur this will take spinos attention from you to your dino and start shooting with crossbow tranq arrows

I found a easy method to taming these guys (and anything else) I used a stego with lots of health aggrod a spino and shot tranqs off the stegos back as the stego tanked the spinos hits.

Never killed one because they ran away I hate it when they run ima try to tame one because saw a green one it ran saw a white and red on it ran tried to tame a baryonyx it died to to my trike they all ran or died to my trike

Lookin to tame a land and water behemoth! Ok but first you need this stuff

Tranq arrows tranq darts what’re you prefer

If you want to tame a high level use a trap to make sure it does not run

Give it prime fish you can get it from using a sickle on a sabertooth salmon

Feed it naracotics every now and then

And you now own the behemoth of the beaches

*extra tip* if you want to level it up quick go to rivers and slap a bunch of fish till you level up a lot

(Ark Mobile) So you’ll need to bring plenty of narcotics (100 should be good but I bring more) about a stack of tranq arrows or darts, a good flying mount (health, speed, and stamina wise), and plenty of the food to tame it with. First what you’ll want to do is find it and lure it away from any body of water, becuse if you knock it out in water it will drown (it did for me twice). Then you’ll want to keep shooting it until it runs away this is where the mount speed and stamina is helpful. Chase it and if you can try to keep it away from water. When it’s knocked feed it the food and plenty of narcotics. And boom enjoy your new super powerful Dino! Hope this helps :)

These guys are ridiculously fast if taming them is really hard unless you have a pteranodon
