What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I tamed my first spino in the redwoods and I built a trap with a LARGE BEAR TRAP and I kept having to feed it narcoberrys raw prime meat probably is better than normal raw meat. So keep a pronto trike or ankle with you to collect narcoberrys.
Best way I’ve found to tame them when your a low level is to stand on a ridge and shoot down at it and when it flees make sure you can corner it
If u guys want to tame it I recommend caption fat dog he show traps and they are perfect
All you need to tame is four stone foundations eight stone doors and four wooden ramps this is by far the cheapest method.
Lay the foundations out in a square and put a stone door on each edge on the side facing towards desired spoon add the four wooden ramps making shore they go into the ground so they don’t get stuck then simply just shoot them take your flyer and fly over the trap high once in you can tranq him out and he won’t escape.
In order to battle this ABSOLUTE MONSTER OF A CREATURE you must take a powerful ranged weapon like a crossbow or something stronger if you don't have that........ UNLEASH HELL DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO STOP THIS THING. But don't consider moving
Fastest way to tame it is step 1: tame a dire bear
Step 2: take ur dire bear to swamp cave on mobile
Finish swamp cave it’s the ez cave
Step 3: get the artifact go to the tribute therminal tribute it and hope for a soothing balm if h don’t get it don’t worry swamp cave is ez and the artifact Tesla an every second so try again and then ez put the soothing balm in Thera inv and use it then feed berries I got 2 soothing balm on three times if finishing the cave it’s sooo ez👍🏾
I have a low level (like 20) ichy. You think I could outswim this on him?
Soo many ppl talking about how to tame an over here seeing how long it will take depending on the food I give 😭
Spinos Spawn Near Rivers, Lakes, etc. if you looking for taming tips: do not go close and suggest you shoot it with tranq/toxicant or darts from up high where it cannot reach you. I suggest prime meat or prime fish meat. But I tame mine with fish meat, bring a lot of narcotics!
I freaking love these things man they are Awesome and really easy to tame use a flyer or a fast land mount nock them out and get raw prime fish meat ready to go I’m breeding my happy hunting
So I’ve been trying to breed my two spinos for a while now but since they always walk away from each other’s when mating I need to build a pen but the thing is no matter how high I make the walls they always just walk out like my last try I made the pen 2 wooden walls and 2 railings high and it started well at first and they seemed to be struggling to get out but then the female somehow climbed out but the male was still in and stayed in for a good 5 minutes before getting out like how high can these things climb at this point I’m just frustrated à Rex can’t even walk over a single wall but they seemed to be struggling last time so I think one more railing high should do it but I wouldn’t be surprised if they just went “okay bye I’m leaving but I will be back soon” breeding spinos is no easy task I tamed the male complete on accident and getting the female after was already hard enough… and now I have to put up with the fact that my spinos keep leaving
I tamed a lvl 230 spino and the way I did it was I got it stuck between two rocks and a tree, I could just sit there and shoot it and it couldn’t touch me.
It was said in Helena Walkers Spino Dossier that they prefer to stay close to the waters, so the next time you encounter one at a low level, stay as far away from it. But if it see’s you, run to a drier part of the island
I always find this spino in lake I don’t know what this thing do
On single player, it will definitely be a bit harder since you won’t have other “meat bags” to sacrifice. The best way I find to knock this Dino out is if you don’t have the tranquilizer engram, you use your highest ranged weapon (most likely the ascendant bow you’ll get from the Hunt Dilophosaur pursuit) that uses tranq arrows. Practice shooting if you want, but the spino has a large hit box because the fan on its back also counts as a part of it. Check Dododex on the possible level of the Spino you want to tame. Sometimes, you may want extra ammo to knock it down guaranteed. Finally, knock it down and make sure you have anything to increase its torpor by a lot. It’s not as bad as the Therizino from experience, but its torpor drains quickly so be sure to check it constantly. If you want a safety net when engaging. Mount on a tanky mount and make sure you can still shoot. That MAY only harm the Dino, which benefits from the armor by the saddle, depending on size. Good luck with taming.
For anybody who want to tame a Spinosaurus without build a stone trap, here is a tip.
1. Ride a flyer (a any level of Tapejara with alot of health is highly recommended )
2. Find a Spinosaurus near the green obelisk
3. Aggro it and lure it to the green obelisk (watch your distance between you and the Spinosaurus. Don't be to close or to far)
4. Just go to the obelisk till the Spinosaurus fell to the cliff
5. Land your Tapejara to the cliff ( this is why you need Tapejara) and start shooting it with tranq dart till it unconscious
6. Spinosaurus will stuck to the cliff as it try to run away due to taking enough torpor damage so it won't escape and you won't have to waste your time chasing the run away spino and save your dart
7. Feed it with meat according to the dododex
P.S clean the obelisk from any threat that will make your taming process failed such as titanoboa, dilo, and raptor. I play on mobile if that's important
The trap I used for it was 3x3 stone foundation, then doorways all around the trap, two walls high. Then you place a ramp and lead it in, it worked perfectly for me.
