What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you have a flying mount, you dont even need to make a trap to tame a Spino, just make use of the terrain around you, dont shoot him from a rock too far from him, it will lose the interest in you, try to find a spot to stay kinda close to him, but where he cant reach you... To lure him, let him hit you once and then try to keep a close distance to him so it doesnt lose the interest and keeps following you, but notice Spinos are really fast. If the Spino starts running away from you after you shoot some tranqs on him, thats how you know its starting to go down, so ride your flying mount, chase the Spino and shoot him with the tranqs, but be careful that If you take too long to shoot him again, he loses torpor really fast and may turn against you again! 😉
I talk by experience, I've tamed a Spino and other strong dinos like a Rex just by using the terrain around.
If more people can see this advice, it's way more exciting taming dinos this way than making traps, but thats risky! 😂😁
Most people's tips are useless, here is a big tip: when taking these guys just get on a cliff even if it's far second tip: spino sucks underwater, it is too slow, get a sarco or megalodon they turn much faster... my spino died to a manta because it couldn't turn
Spino is really dangerous but it is my favorite dino, really strong, the first time I found one it was in "The Island" on the beach where I started, supposed to be a safe place... The Spino just decided to start killing every living thing he saw, it even killed 3 Megalodons at the same time after a massive killing spree on the beach, that thing is crazy!
Now imagine me at really low level trying to kill/tame a Spino mudering everything it saw 😂
The best way to tame them is with about 200 narcotics and tranq darts and raw fish meat but you usualy want to tme in a tribe
Just have six dilos and four turtles, they took that sucker alive when he tried to mess with me. I will forever be greatful for them
Ok so on my single player (moblie) i explore with my pterodactyl (its autocorrect) and on EVERY SINGLE river there is a spino wtf dude i do avoid them so there is a good sign
Trees can’t help you anymore. They will always get to you.
Heo to tame a spino
1: get traq arrows
2:tame a ichtysaurus
3: get a ichtysaurus saddel
4: get a lot of raw fish meat
5:get a lot of Bio toxin
6: find a spino
7:use your ichtysaurus to go underwater and shoot the spino from under
8:once the spino is knocked feed it raw fish meat
9:if the spino is gonna wake up soon feed the spino Bio Toxins
Then you shall have it
It will drown if knocked out in water
USE SARCO ITS FASTER IN WATAR if you wanna fight it then just bully it with pteranadon by hitting and flying keep in mind that these can two shot you at level one since they do 60 damage and rapid fire so I tamed one by getting it low with some trans and trapping it in some rocks
first get some materials to craft some structures and make a trap if you dont know how to type how to make a trap for a spino then if you know what to do now go back to the game and do what exactly that guy did
I’d prefer taming on gen using: a high durability cross bow with tranq darts extraordinary kibble and ascerbic mushrooms so go up in air with the tek jetpack shoot it till it goes to have a dream wait till hunger goes down a bit and then feed it the kibble
These can take out an alpha raptor or an alpha Caron
Step 1 find spino
Step 2 get like 12 shocking tranqs
Step 3 knock out and feed raw fish meat and give it bio toxin for narcotics (from jellyfish)
Step 4 enjoy your new pal
Step 5 find an annoying alpha creature
Step 6 sneak up with full stamina and have your spino on 2 legs
Step 7 spam the attack button until it dies and use knock back to your advantage if you time it they can’t lay 1 hit on you!
Step 8 celebrate that your spino gained like 5-20 levels! :)
To kill a spino you should yous a flamethrower or
fabricated sniper rifle and gile stuff if you get in a long chase go away from your home and don't go in the water or in a super flat area try to keep it weaving in and out of the rocks in the forest and the trees be safe and take no chances in ark
If you want to tame these beast but your not a high level try looking for one that is near a cliff then go to the top of a cliff and rain down tranq arrows.Use prime meat if you have any of you do not use fish meat and soothing balm
All you need are some tranqs and a sword and a sickle, oh and armour. Knock out the spino (anyway you would like to do it). Then punch a sabertooth salmon and wait, be prepared for battle. All the sabertooth salmon will start attacking you, I like to call this a "party". After you kill all of them with your sword, or really whatever you want, use the sickle oh then and get HUNDREDS of prime fish meat. Now take that spino!!!
Wooden spike walls don't help against keeping Spinos out, just does additional damage. Trust me, multiple Spinos and Brontos have stepped over my walls, but still took damage because of them. I've killed... Maybe 4 to 6 Spinos now, thanks to the help from the walls?
