These guys die to dimorphs just saying so you can be careful when taming
Usually, only under ai control can the Spino use its claw attack while swimming underwater while the rider can't. You can cheat this by dismounting your Spino and letting it get attacked by an agressive sea creature like a megalodon and the moment you hear the hurt sound, mount the Spino. This allows you to use the claw attacks with the ability to turn on the spot along with a much improved rise/descend speed while swimming turning the dino into a force to be reckoned with. I don't know if this works on PC but it allowed me to kill an Alpha Mosaurus.
The Spino will go back to its default bite attack if it fully surfaces, instead let the Spino lightly "bump" against the water surface in order to let it breathe without going back to its bite attack.
I hope this helps!
One word they are op I tamed one before and I could one shot basically anything.
These bois are op and usefull, many of them can prob beat the brood mother! But to tame them.. is hard, you need 300 or 400 narcotics if needed and especially bio toxins since they are usefull i tried giving that spino 1 narcotic then i saw it slowly rising up like it gives 300 torpor slowly the last time i tried taming a spino i saw it woke up staring at me but it dint charged since i was far- so dont do the same and give them prime meat or prime fish meat (up if you want to share this to ur beginner freinds)

Ok but why is this guy's torpor drain not considered extremely high? MAX LEVEL TORPOR IS DRAINED IN UNDER 30 MINUTES!!! If you think so too, then you know what to do, the color green should appear in your eye, when you tap the arrow pointing to the sky. I hope all the survivors pillows are cool on both sides the next time they sleep.
Best way to tame one of these spinos is...
1.get to a mountain high enough to prevent the spino mauling you.
2.bring around 100 trank arrows and go ham.
3. When the spino starts running chase that mf down and hope it gets into a corner and hope it’s not it self trying to reposition it self
4.when knocked out feed a whole ton of meat bring hundreds of narcos biotoxin works very well (doesn’t decrease the knocked out dinos health)
5.when tamed after 30 mins enjoy the mayhem you can cause across the map

Find one by itself, they’re wether in dangerous area’s or next to dangerous dinos, shoot from a high place, they run quick and it’s too risky to shoot from ground, these ARE NOT like rexes, they’re better and arguably scarier. I reccomend a flier mount with lots of weight, but if you don’t like mounts then… put stone BEHEMOTH gateways, NOT doors, at least 3-4. Then add 2 NORMAL sized dino gateways, or do extra behemoth gateways with doors on each end, bring the spino in through one without a normal gateway into a normal one, then try to distract it on the side with the normal gateway then place the second one behind it. You then have it trapped and know you can knock it out! I also recommend bio toxin seeing that’s easier to get and narcotics take a while longer. Enjoy your spino!
They need a lot of narcotics

The Spino is really good at swimming and watching the spino is not always a good thing all because I was being attached want he get out of the water so to escape (in my ways) I was in my house and I siffle to attack I got 10 raptors at lvl 200 and one ArgentAvis and one Pelagornis but the best ways to escape is to attack or use a flying creature and fly away, I hoe that worked, so if you don’t have flying creatures…. Then take ur raptors and try to tame or attack the Spino before he will kill you..OvO
All I did to tame one was grab like 20 trank arrows and find a cliff with my flying mount and lure it there, so easy to tame, also makes it easier when you get a 10x soothing balme for free
If you are in Valguero, Spinos are hard to find. Well, for me at least. But there are many in the Aberration cave! And they are prettier. And also higher level, in my experience. So go down there and get yourself a Spino+
Spinos are awsmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmme
Get some prime meat, shoot this thing with shocking tranqs from a cliff or flying platform saddle or sm, wait till it’s knocked, make sure there is nobody nearby, give it the prime, put some biotoxin in (for if it’s torp gets low) and defend it. Once it’s tamed, throw the saddle on it, and just make sure that ur near a water source for its buff. Great battle creature, definitely recommend for mid-early tame
These things are hard to tame. I just can’t keep them asleep long enough to eat the meat
If spino sucks then he will destroy your house and kill all your dino
Always fortify ur base when u see a spino around that area like me I'm fortifying it because the spino came from the back to the front al.ost near my base use spike walls and dino gates best and have a trike because spinos like to walk if u know that u really want to tame it or u hate them for killing everything if u do ur just like me😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😄😄😄😄😏😏😏😏😏😏😏
Tip when taming spino:KILL EVERYTHING NEAR THE RIVER EXCEPT THE SPINO cuz the Spino will kill anything that gets too close,it’s one of the creatures to prefer targeting wild creatures then tamed creatures meaning even a para can be an annoying nuisance and for god sake don’t let it target a massive herd of high level trikes or a theri (even low levels can be very annoying) I recommend a trap once u trap it just make sure no random dimorphodon comes along and call it’s friends once injured trust me I have experienced that before.

I LOVE spinos so much. Better than rexes because: they are faster( 4 legs is faster than 2); they are stronger when they are on 2 legs, slower, but stronger, with a damage buff when you are in water; they look cooler; and although a rexes roar may be louder, spinos can roar too! These guys are great tames(I have five of them and still counting)
Ok i use this taming method on rex, spino, and giga. You’ve got to pack ur self a flying mount, tranq arrows, crap ton narcotics, four metal billboards, and a bear trap. Set the signs up in a square near the spino. But LEAVE THE LAST ONE OUT of the circle. Put the bear trap in the middle. Lure it in the trap while on ur birdie and he’ll get stuck. Quickly place the last sign behind him and then fire away!
