Anyone know how to get rid of a spino who just stands there and will not move away from your base ;-;
Easier to find than theris, rexes and megatheriums and have more health and damage too. I cannot stress just how much better spinos are than the three so called ‘boss Dino’s’ Use spinos for all bosses on the island.
These guys are just massive wusses (making them harder to tame) knock em to like 2/3 health, they run. Knock em to almost half torpor, they run
This dino op as a early game dino. Good kb, can juggle Trexes. Just make sure it doesn't go underwater if there are jellyfish nearby, and don't go near deepwater. It will die to a random eel spawning and giving everyone brain concuction. Good even for Basil hunting for ez oil, good against Manta. Just to make sure, make sure you harvest Megaladon with a pickaxe though, you will not get Prime fish meat if you harvest with Spino
It is actually Really easy to tame These.
You Need:
1 Longneck Rifle
10 Tranquelizer Bullets
15 Normal Bullets
To be Good Leveled in running Speed
100 Narcoberries
First you Need To Help him fight Every other Creatires in His near (there are Always some) when Hes done fighting with them and has eaten their corpse, He will Chase you, Just give him easy headshots with the Tranquelizer Bullets, (that is easy cause He constantly Looks at you). Then knock him Out. After knocking him Out you Need weapons or Dinos to clear the area of ANY Predators, (thats what the Bullets are for).
After knocking Out, give him Prime meat and fill him constantly with Narco (Berries Work too).
And congratulations! You've Made yourself a "Mister Spy"
Have fun!
Before you attempt to tame it I suggest you trap it first
Tamed one with raw meat only and it took at least 5 ark days.
These guys are TANKS. They’re stronger than a Rex, but slow on land. I recommend though. Use them for getting around in water areas to fight off creatures like a sabertooth salmon on megapirhana. 10/10! Tame one!
I just recently tamed a spinosaurus today by having about 32 tranq arrows but only having to use around 20. I got up on a hill and continued shooting it. Like all dinos do, the spino started running away when it got high on torpidity. I now have a new male spino!
If you’re like me, and you have five of these wayyy before level 71, buy the tannery(on mobile… it’s what I play, so I don’t know if it’s the same way for other versions), which costs forty ancient amber. The journeyman spino saddle is 600 cures, and you usually start out with five hundred cures. You can get two hundred more cures for twenty ancient amber. If you’re not wanting to buy the amber, get an icthy and get all the underwater drops you can, as you get a good amount of ancient amber roughly every other drop. I’m riding my spino, and it’s my favorite dinosaur so far. I’m glad I figured this out, because I did not want to wait.
When taming make sure u get a lot of prime bc that will help much more. Spinos are honestly the best tame ever so u want to tame one.
How to tame a Spino!
2 METHODS
Method 1 - Trapping (Easiest, Most Expensive)
Materials: 9x stone foundations, 24x stone double doorframe, 6x stone ramps.
Place the foundations in a 3x3 square, then 2 layers vertically of double doorframes along the edges. Then make a place the ramps along one wall.
Use a flyer (Pteranodon or Argentavis) and get the Spino to aggro on you. Then lead it up the ramp and into the trap. Then land and start shooting it with your tranq ammo of choice.
Method 2 - Pillar (Harder, Less Expensive)
Materials: 10x-15x stone pillars, 10x-15x ladders.
Place the pillars on top of each other, then ladders going up the pillars.
Get the Spino’s aggro and then go up the pillar on the ladder. When you get to the top, turn around and start shooting it with your tranq ammo of choice.
Where it gets difficult is when it starts torpor running . You must go down the ladder and follow it while shooting it, but it is faster than you, so this is easier said than done.
USES
They have good stamina, melee, and okay health, and they also can breathe underwater.
They get an infinite buff when in the water and lasts for 30 seconds after you leave the water.
They have 2 types of stances, the 2-legged stance and the 4-legged stance. When on 4 legs they will run faster but less attack ddamage. When on 2 legs they run slower but have more attack damage.

Alright guys. Thank you so much for persuading to tame one of these bad boys. I haven’t yet but here is my game plan (im the person that said the spino is my fav Dino and I needed 10 👍🏻 By Christmas to be confident enough to tame one) thank you so much for 26 Ups!!!
Ok here it is,
There is a swampy river by my base. I go there a lot for fish and to get chitin. It has, as far as I know, NO sarcos andNO ku- ke- ki-? Whatever the other death croc is. But it dose have a spino spawn. I will get all the stone I can get and then put it in my paras inventory. Then I will ride him to the swampy river. Once I locate a spino I will hop of my para and unload him. Then I will craft a trap that someone suggested. 3x3 stone platform, a wall then a doorframe then a wall on three sides. Just wall on 4th. wood ramp going in on fourth wall. I will lead spino in trap then hit with tranqu arrows. I have ALOT of bio toxin so I won’t need to worry about narcotics. Thank you again so much. Btw I am sarco master but I didn’t put my tag on the spino thing that said it is my fav Dino in rl

Take 5 or 4 raptors and they can finish spino in no time mine one was 46 and second one was 36 and last one was 44 they smashed a spino
so cooked fish meat takes less time to tame a spino? also prefer scraping from scrape meat fish to tame
