What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
Find 450 shit yourself and fill full of tranqs
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
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
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...
