What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They have a very small aggro radius making them easy to avoid, furthermore they hardly ever wander away from water.
In combat, wild Spinos act like glass cannons, they have the same health as Thylaceos but have high DPS plus a movement speed and attack boost in water. Sustained assault rifle fire or a tanky mount with decent attack will slaughter the poor thing.
Tamed Spinos are a different story however…
Tamed a level 10 with master craft longneck in three hits with reg tranq and tamed it in 3 seconds with prime and balm. Really great tame and easy tame I recommend it to all of you
FINALY knocked one out but then a Meg ate it 😳 excuse me wile I scream into my pillow

Here's how to tame one at level 21 go to South East where it's a Garenteed spawn get on a cliff. Have at lease 120 frank arrows and a crap ton of narcotics and meat then shoot it it will try to get to you but can't since u on a cliff when it starts to run away Hopefully it's low enough level so it will pass out not long after running. Then boom ez spino at level 21. But can't have saddle until level 71 or iff on mobile and can get a random apprentice one in a gift
When taming there oxygen doesn’t deplete so don’t let that stop you from knocking one out near water.
Just get high ground and don't let it get you it worked foe me a supply drop I found a level 126 there
Tamed a spino on 3x with mutton, and the time and narcotic needed was quite a bit off. Needs an update.
Run away from water if it sees you
Taming a lvl60 and it says 33 mutton on x1 and mine are 33 and only at 81.1% done.
Think it might be off.
Very hard to knock out on Rag, unless you can trap it, which is a pain because it gets distracted by everything.
Aim for the body. The sail makes for a nice, big target, which can be helpful. Just get a couple tribe mates to bait it to a cliff and then shoot from the side.
The spino will run down any fast creature so dont try to fire trangs of the back of a raptor or even a bear because it will clap your cheeks
By far The most usefull dino on the Island map. Tame a pair of 100+ lvl, breed 4 of them, level them up a bit ( 10k hp, 1k meele, and 4k oxigen ) and you can rule the island above and bellow the wather. They are faster than a rex, spend less stamina for running/fighting, and do not use stamina for swimming. Been farming artifact of the cunning ( underwater cave ) with ease, alfa squid of alfa mosa are down in under a minute. Great for farming black pearls, angler fish gel, cnidaria toxin. Nothing can touch them on land eather. What else do one need?
While I don't play PvP, I think having a Rex squad with these mixed in could be powerful, with the Rex having superior health and damage, while the Spinos have the dps. Again, I only play PvE, so try on an unofficial boosted server first before using up all those resources for taming and sadlling Spinos.
?great for getting me meat. Tackle small dinosaurs.
