IT IS CRAZY HARD TRYING TO FIND A SPINO ON THE ISLAND BUT VERY EASY ON ABBERASTION!
Just use 2 giant bear trap and place them in a line with a but distance, then use a crossbow with good amount of tranq arrows.. I used this method and tamed 4 of em
Go on a hill and tranq it maintain it’s torpor so it does not wake up use you food of choice raw fish meat,raw prime fish meat,kibble
On mobile they spwan around rivers and in rivers and occasionally the swamp or swamp red woods border now they are fast so a trap is recommended put a bunch of stone foundations and then stone doorframes all around stacked up on each other put 4 of them stacked for each side and then 2 wooden ramps lure the spino in and get out though a little gap enough for a player to get though then tranq it out prime fish works best but prime meat will work too it will just take a bit longer and bring around 100 bio toxin or narcotics then wait a bit and you got a spino
DO NOT LISTEN TO PEOPLE THAT SAY THIS IS EASY TO TAME these guys are fast and dangerous I tried taming one without a trap with tranq arrows and just kept running around if you plan on taming it without tranq darts use a trap
Spinos are pretty easy to tame. First get a moschops and set it on wander for Narco berries, then get at least 60 narcotics for a level one spino ( always have extra narcotics), make a crossbow, have at least 20 tranq arrows, find a good cliff, shoot the spino till it falls over, if it runs away from the cliff keep an eye on it but don’t run after it one time I ran after it and it turned around and killed me. Hope you enjoy your spino :)
(ARK MOBILE) Tamed a level 300 in redwoods without any narcotics just 4 argy kibbles and a 10× balm.
These things are super bad at the start if you see one grab your tames and run It killed my best friend rapti and my parasaur for no reason
Knocking out a Spino is pretty easy if you have a good crossbow, tranq arrows and a damage sponge tame. My taming does not involve traps, and as such I recommend a Sarco or a Baryonyx.
Alternative: A T. Rex will almost always be targeted by a Spino, so put the Rex on Passive and pump the Spino full of tranquilizers as it takes one for the team.
If you can help it, knock out the Spino on the riverbank next to Sabertooth Salmon. Use your best sickle to get Prime Fish Meat from them, or if you don't have that pray to R-N-you-know-who for some while you use your metal pick.
I always search for Spinos in the southern portion of the map, in the range of 60-75 latitude and 40-70 longitude. The eastern portion of that area is what I call "Spino Valley." I get very lucky witb Spinos there, and there are plenty of spots where fleeing Spinos get stuck. I hope all of this info helps you find my favorite dinosaur!
It cant deal damage to stone structures so make a trap with 4 big stone portals and a big bear trap
I just agroed the spino then put up a Dino gate as it got close and it works well because it tries to get you but can’t. Then when it starts torpor running you can just chase it. ☝️Up if helpful.
Takes a 2x2x3 cage with a ramp. Don’t make two or less walls high - it will climb out. Better kite it on a flier or have decent hp and armor - it will catch up and hit you due to hydration buff. Remember to bring narcotics - unlike rex, spino doesn’t stay down for a very long time.
On the island ther is a lot of them behind the redwoods
I've tamed many spinos all from the same trap, 4 stone dino gates and one large bear trap. Place three down so you can make a rectanlge out of the four, then put the large bear trap down inside of them. Shoot the spino, and run through the trap. Go to the other side and place the dino gate to finish the rectangle. Now you just need lots of narcotic arrows and lots of narcotics( boi toxin works best). I tamed 10 spinos on mobile with this method, one being level 200. But the trap works great for other gaming devices to.
Was contemplating whether to attempt gaming one of these and finally went for it. My first carnivorous animal tame. Miraculously knocked it down and tamed it to completion. While leading it back, it got stuck in some unbreakable rocks. Had to build foundations and walls before finally getting it out after about 30 mins of trying. As soon as it was free it was swarmed by jellyfish and pirhanas and died. RIP
They have really handy water buff,
If you go in water, they are strenger
When you see a loan 15 spino get 18 tqrac arrows and some fish and alot of drugs
I needed more narcotics for a level 150 dododex... i tamed it because i was near my base but some people could no be as lucky as me...
At redwoods lake I found one lvl 120, it ended 179 and after some training it reached 18k of HP and 700% of melee damage, it’s an absolute BEAST! I can take on alpha rexes, alpha megalodons, and almost any other creature (expect wild gigas and titanosaur), it’s a very versatile Dino, totally recommended!
