What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Do the same thing that you do to the godfather i mean giga but with stone
Best Dino to take
On a rex
And good for killing fish
Traps are effective, but hard to make and these things can climb good. Whenever I tame them I try and find a nearby cliff and shoot them form there. They are VERY fast when fleeing, so try to shoot them headshots and very fast.
Make a 4 by 4 foundation with door frames 3 high all around and a ramp up one side. If fast enough Agro the spino and run up the ramp and out the door frame. If not use a flyer.
If you have around 309 health a normal crossbow base damage and lots of prey this thing is so easy to tame just start shooting it and dodge the hits
Yeah, if it’s low level, don’t use pillars. I tried to knock one out using a 5-wall high tower, and the Spino still got to hit me on the tower, YEETED me almost inside a mountain, and did 7x the damage. Just use a mount with good health, like a Carbonemys or a Dire Bear
(Tip is at the end)I tamed 2 of these beasts so far I got a lvl 2 and a 3 in total it took around 80 narcotic combined and around 10 tranq arrows. For each I used a crossbow and once they are out u HAVE to stay with them so they don’t wake up the trick is to find one by a cliff and tranq them from there
So I am only level 45 and I tamed one of these I was very far from spawn which is where my base is I just stoop atop a. Cliff and tranq him by the time he fell my heart was beating SOOO fast I thought he would kill me and my pteranodon parked next to me the spino I tamed was level 2 now he is a level 5 and slowly getting better. If you want a tame just find one near a cliff and crossbow-tranq them till the down the shove LOTS of narcotics and fish meat in then have it kill the therinzo that almost killed you when you put food in it’s inventory.
Bring as many narcs as possible I tamed a level 3 and needed 100 narcs
Compared to taming a rex, this thing is actually harder to tame unless this thing spawns in the middle of two cliffs so it’ll have nowhere to run. I once tamed a rex with only a bow and a few tranq arrows on easy mode, obviously, but I can actually kill rexes up to lvl 100+ when on lvl 30+ yourself, on mobile that is. This thing runs when it has high torpor or near death, and it runs FAST. So unless you’re a WWII veteran sniper and can track this bad boy’s movement up to an island away, you’d have to lure it in the middle of two cliffs. Griffins are also good to help you tame this guy, but they’re a pain in the arse to tame on mobile... Use bio toxin to keep down, or a ton of narcoberries. Best method is starve taming. Clear out the area of every single aggressive thing though, and remember this guy has an oxygen stat, so it’ll drown if you knock it out in waters deep enough to make it swim (shallow waters where it can stand doesn’t make it drown, same thing goes for everything that you have to tame thru knock out method). Use ascendant bows or ascendant crossbows to knock out, or a tranq dart which is more efficient. Bring 10x more the amount of narcotics, if that’s what you use, better use bio toxin to keep this down. Around two or three stacks of bio toxin should be enough for levels 100+ of a spino.
Currently taking of the spine on Xbox one is currently glitched me and my two brothers tried taking about a dozen spinos and 9/12 of them hit 100% tame then woke up and turned on us like rabid animals
Do not knock out in the water biggest mistake ever
Escape a spino by climbing a mountain with a ptramadon. Okay?
If you have a primitive crossbow, don't go for low levels. Use tranq darts. A level 72 spino I tamed had about 1800 health when I knocked it. And it was getting on low health with ascendant crossbow.
It is one of my mildly easiest all you need is a lot of narcotic and plenty of tranq arrows
WARNING: the spinos knockout decreases fast and if you don't have any more meat or narcotic on you your screwed
They are not easy to tame if you see one I recommend running if you’re a low level
