What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
i dont know if this works on all devices, but it does on nintendo!
how to tame very fast:
you dont need many narcotics, id say like 10. up to 75 narcotics should be good.
but bring a lot of raw FISH meat. raw fish meat tames it real fast. just go kill some pirranah cealocanth or salmon. or any other fish.
i tamed mine in about 1 min [including knocking out time] just make sure you got a good perch or a flyer to chase it once it runs. also please do this if its in the water- it will tame before it drowns.
Why do people use traps when taming animals so much? If there's not a good rock or cliff around then I guess you have to use a trap but that's so rare.
Thank you guys again for so many ups to tame spinos. Still haven’t lol. There was a….insedent…. Well found one wile looking for equis. So excited to tame!

Great creature for assisting you in battle. I tamed one at level 28 and it can now kill any other spinos. Extremely powerful if health leveled up. Does take a good amount of narcotics to tame though. If you can get up on a cliff and let the tranq arrows rain down.👍😄
Hilariously and I’m not joking these are great beginner tames on mobile do dilo pursuit and get a good bow and then get tranqs and do megapirahna pursuit. I did this as a level 25 then I just shot it and put fish meat and balm in it and it tamed but I got the saddle at level 71 so…. Overall great tame way better than Rex.
I got two level twenty’s that made a baby and when I tranqed these guys they took 5 raw meat but I tranqed another and it took so long I used smoothing balm just tranq from the high ground there in beaches and swamps for a level 10-20 it will take 5-20 tranqs use smoothing balm or kibble to tame prefers kibble regular kibble and argentavis kibble easy to kill and they might kill your weaker pets so defend like to bless the baby also it takes 5 campfires to warm the egg
Using these beast’s in swamps is the most efficient way of farming meat, first you get a buff helping you in demolishing the hostile Dino’s in the swamp, and while standing on 2 legs it deals even more damage and attacks very fast, allowing it to collect thousands of thousands of Meat
I used 12 tranq arrows and he still didn't get knocked out
Update the info please
This monster killed my 3 raptors I was hunting with when they were low
I will avenge them
Contrary to popular belief, these guys are simply territorial rather than aggressive; they would much rather play in the rivers and catch fish than chase a human. Because of this temperament, even Spinos know their limits.
This can be taken advantage of by reducing their health until they are greatly wounded - less than half.
This will send the Spino into a panic that will cause it to run away from players, tamed creatures, and anything that will fight back (although it will still try to catch fish if left unprovoked, but seems to get frightened and run away if hit by piranha during this time).
All you have to do from here is chase it and shoot it with Tranq Arrows as it continues to flee in panic.
Having a Mesopithecus set totarget the Spino on your shoulder during this time will be beneficial, as frightened Spinos can easily outrun a player if they want to if the player hasnt sufficiently leveled their movement speed stat.
As for how to damage it to where it will become startled, all you have to do is use your creature that can deal the most damage out of all of your tames, and hit the Spino until it becomes panicked and runs away in a desparate attempt to preserve itself, and then get off and proceed to chase it with your Tranqs and Mesopithecus. Just be careful not to get near its feet and watch out for other predators during that time.
Hopefully this should help.
I killed a lvl 2 spino with a pike and 2 turtles. (Carbonemeyes)
If you want to tame a carno go in carno section and ask
HOW TO GET RID OF A SPINO:
Pretty easy at high levels but that's not why you're reading this anyway. At low level you probably lack the fire power to take one out and the cliff and bow tactic won't work, because they're fast and you won't be able to hit them. Try and make a trap instead:
Place a wooden spike wall.
Place a fence foundation behind it.
Place 2 walls on the foundation.
Expand to the sides the same way.
Spinos are stupid so it will run straight at you and die from its own damage. You can also shoot it from afar as it will be attacking the spikes and not you. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome!
If you want to tame a spino on easy get 30 tranq arrows 40raw fish meat 50 narcotics and a high cliff to stand on
and keep shooting it till it is knocked out
Picked up my first spino lastnight; was looking for a baryonyx to start caving, but found this bad ol' 150 boy instead.
I built a 3x4 stone trap, as I watched him kill everything in sight, and led him in. I didnt tranq it out right away, but instead took my ptera back to base, got supplies, and swam my bad B sarco back to the beach, killing a few megalodons along the way.
The sarco does NOT get prime meat, so I had to bail off the back to harvest (or while mounted, but jumping off is easier and faster IMO)... parked in a spike wall fence (wasnt needed) and fed narcotics and went for prime fish when needed.
Easy.
The worst part, in all honesty, was trying to hit the damn thing and not run out of tranq darts, lol.
FYI, I killed EVERYTHING on ny little walk back to my base on Herb Isle. It was average on everything according to the calculator... except melee, hehehe... disappointed in its movement in water, but thats about it, the thing is a monster for sure.
I went to tame a lvl 70 bary.it was killed by a 125 spino.so I decided to tame it.i used 4dino gates pen but when keeping the bear trap I put in middle.it was trapped .but I couldn't keep 4th gate properly coz the spino is halfway out so keep in mind to put the trap somewhat near to the front gate. So it gets trapped completely inside .I tamed it at last on my second attempt
Yeah one was near my base early game,best to move the base far away from it before it comes close
In Aberration, they are super common on any body of water. To knock out simply build a trap near a river consisting on a single behemoth gate and a a semi circle of stone dino gates. Shoot the twerp from inside the trap and close the gate behind him and boom, he is trapped. From there just shoot at his face and remember to feed it raw FISH MEAT which works wonders. Happy surviving, guys!
Just tamed one and its useful o really recommend taming one and its so easy to tame
To tame a spino use a grappling hook a bow and 60 tranq arrows it worked for me.
