What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Everyone says the Rex is better than the Spino because if it’s health... or is it.
Thing about Spino, insane damage, mediocre health, quadripedal and bipedal form, water buff, destroyer of rivers. Great for underwater exploration, and good knock back.
Rex, rawr, outstanding health, great damage, meat gatherer, tek saddle, destroyer of land, and kind of bad stamina.
They look big and slow, but just wait till they see something and they go crazy fast. Also why’s everyone saying the beaches are the safest areas I’m on the beach and can see like 5 of these guys at a time south zone 3. In the forest there’s nothing except for the occasional dilo
Use a prime meat jerky instead. It'll only take 10 to tame a max level one
Yall, I just learned that Spinos are immune to Cnidarias shocks. They don't get stunned, they still fight. But the effects are, they are slower until Cnidarias shocks wear off. It just happened to Rexy, my OP Spino. A Cnidaria schocked her, but she didn't get stunned. She was just really slow on land when she finished all Cnidarias off.
I was really suprised, because most of my tames were stunned when Cnidarias shock them, unlike Rexy, who withstood the shock, and fought back. This is one of the spino's abilities. -TinaZ
This Dino will kill literally everything within a 5 mile radius
Also it’ll wait by your body after it kills you until it finds something else to hunt
If you have a pteranadon, 4 stone Gates and a large bear trap with around 20-35 tranqs in a crossbow you can take it down. Imagine a square of Gates, except there's one missing and a L bear trap in the middle. You lure It from the side with the gate missing. when it gets stuck, cover up the last gate and you can fire away. You can use whatever you want for taming. You can also do this with the rex.
good luck
Or should we say ALPHA PRIME(red natural)
I read all the tips, and even though I'm a newbie to ark the methods of taming the spino I've seen are pretty.. Inefficient
I just downloaded dododex
I tamed a spino at lvl 26 using a raft, wooden structures such as wall, foundation, roof and door etc on the raft.
You can find spinos, (on mobile as far as I know) between 40-50 LON, and 70-80 LAT, just look on your map.
Now taming them is relatively easier and less resource consuming than the other methods. I used this method as an uncultured and unknowledged swine and it worked. Spinos often spawn near water so build a raft and house on top of the raft, build a bow or crossbow, or the bow you get from dilo hunt persuit, once you see a spino position the raft so that you can peek out your door and shoot arrows, agro it with an arrow then drive the raft again luring it to land so that you don't tame it in water.. Lol
Stay inside the house you built on the raft while spamming tranq arrows on it (they will often circle the raft so just wait for them to pass by the Door, when they run just chase and keep shooting tranq arrows till they knock down) make sure to have at least 15-20 narcotics. Normal meat works even though it will take time. If you need more narcotics just make some more, if you have the soothing balm use it.
And then voila, you have a spino
When I was running it was dark and I fell off a low cliff and I saw a spin-off but I was on a rock it saw me and I got scared and I fell off the rock and I died so don’t try not to go by them
I got mine by going up on a cliff and it's really easy. so today I decided go to tame a spino with my argy, when I saw one I shot him a tranq dart then immediately hopped on my argy and flew up, after many shots it finally started running and I immediately started chasing him and after a while I finally got him down. then I started making a bed so I could save some time, I gave him the fish meat and a soothing balm, then I went to sleep and after coming out I saw this beast standing right next to my argy, at first I thought he just woke up but no... I actually tamed him
Just build a tower out of 8 or so stone pillars and some wood roofs used it to tame lvl 95 (watch out for therizinos and dimorphs while taming)
It's easy to tame I had 2 of them in the last game but I tamed them with a trap because I was a beginner,only u need is at least 8 dino gates straight on a track,and then put the door in the last dino gates,so find this bad boy and run from him,so he'll follow you to kill,simply run to the trap and then close the dino gate,he'll busy in breaking dino gates to kill you but at that moment you'll use tranq arrows,that's how I tamed them.
Be careful and make sure that the cliff is high enough if you're using that strategy, as their two legged attack can reach through the stone and whop you off.
Literally the NIGHTMARE FUEL. This dude is literally phycotic, bro is in a hurry for a carnage
Make sure to take lots of narcs/bio toxin
