What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you see one of these RUN!!! They are really fast but also when it’s damaged a lot it runs away but comes back when it is healed
Run if u see on just run or you will die
Just got one of these babies and I lost my meso to a Rex in the process 😭😭rip boots but worth it for my new tame
Update: story rainbow died to a level one spino.

First you need to have atleast 30 narcotics a good amount of fish meat and traq arrows but I recommend using raw prime fish meat because it tames faster with raw prime fish meat. How I tamed it is I shot it then ran in-between rocks and trees then when it wasn't chasing me jo more I shot it again and I kept repeating that untill it was knocked out then force feed it some narcotics and put some fish meat or raw prime fish meat in there and wait and after that boom you have a spino.
I have a Fem Spino, she's level 63 rn, one time when she was level 4 there was 1 Theri level 52 attacking my house, I said "NOT MY OTTER" cuz I left him on my house, so i was riding my Spino named Beast and the anger made me and Beast stronger cuz we killed the Theri easily, one up one respect for Beast
I just had my friend run by it get it mad at him then shot it in the back with tranqs arrows or darts both will work but if your solo you should make a trap or get it stuck somewhere
Need any tame wepon i use crossbow then take a flyer with a LOT OF STAMINA stay above and shoot
They are fast so stay away from these as far as you can as they may accidentally go toward you and aggro on you,
if you want to live near water then build your base on cliff or else a spino may spawn near your base and destroy it
To kill it you must have a flyer to hunt it down when it running away.Stand on a cliff and rain arrows on it
Although they may seem scary but a low lv one can be easily killed by a medium lv trike
That all the tip i can give from my ark playthough
You can tame them is the following way
1#is making a stone trap and but a bear trap in it then use flyer to lure it in and lock it in, i recommend build trap near water so after you knock it out you can have easy access to prime fish meat(use sickle harvest salmon)
2#is stand on a cliff with a flyer in ready position, then lure it over to the cliff and knock it out, when it torpor is high it will try to run away so get on your flyer and chase it,while it running it will randomly stop for a short time so try to land a shoot it down or switch seat and shoot it if you are riding a tapejara
You put some bear traps on the ground or be on a Tula to shoot the spino
if you want to find some spino they spawn in in rivers uncommonly but becareful they terrorized my brothers boat
The reason rexes have a tek saddle is that rexes are famous. Same with megalodons and all the other things that have tek saddles. But really, let's be honest, almost nobody has tek saddles. You have to complete a hard dungeon to get a blueprint, or pay big bucks! At least those are the two ways i know of. Im on mobile btw. Really, argy's and spino's should get tek saddles, (you can find more info on argy tek saddle idea in argy, somebody left a tip about it, it has lots of likes so it's at the top too.) Because they're REALLY useful tames to have, in my opinion. I actully on two of each. Im going to put this tip in argy, spino and rex, so you will see it there. Please ^ if you want argy's and spino's to get tek saddles!

Ok so here is how I tamed my Spino. I had the help of my brother, so maybe bring some help just in case. All we did was find the nearest Spino, and I shot arrows at it to lure it out of the water so it wouldn't drown while unconscious. Then my bro shot a couple tanq arrows while i shot tranq darts. It took 2 hits from each to knock it out. So it was fairly easy for me. Good luck and I hope this helps.
When you are taming a spino make sure non of your tames attack it because when they are at low health they will run away until thy don’t see you
Run under a brontosaurus if you are attacked by them even if you can survive even but use a brontosaurus because more will appear after that.
Ok they are not able to tame on my ark because they have 1 hp
Find a low level spino and spam your tranqdarts with the crossbow and make sure you have good movement speed, then you don't necessarily need a trap.
