What are tips for spinosaurus? Tips and strategies for spinosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Use shocking tranq darts with longneck rifle should take about 5 and use bio toxin for torpor drain, but this is if you have access to a fabricator!

Pls help me. SPINO right outside my base. PLZ upvote to save my base. Becuz I am low-level I don't have a smelter to smelt iron I don't have iron weapons and stuff.
I've seen high level bred spinos kill 250+ gigas
I posted a tip saying that in real life the spino would lose in a fight against a Rex. The reason why is because the spino is lighter has a weeker jaw strength less bulky and is built for catching fish due to this the rex would realistically win in a fight if they were ever to cross paths but near the water it’s a 60% win for the spino but in the water it’s more of a 97% win for the spino so it could win but would have to be in or near water. Just to mention the rex has the second strongest bite ever the strongest bite belongs to the megalodon. By the way people I’m a spino fan not a Rex fan so don’t think I’m a Rex fan because I posted this tip I just want to clear things up and because when I posted a tip similar to this it was disliked by someone and now I can’t find it on another account so I wanted to post this tip to show you what the results in a battle would probably be like but in the game spino would most likely win. Quick mention the spino design in the game looks very different from the more resent design for the spino also it was most likely not bipedal and was lighter than the rex to help with swimming also it had a tail similar to a tadpoles so the spino was more built for the water due to this rex would realistically win in a fight - A.L.N.A
Up for all noobs that wants a Spino to see!
When I tamed my first Spino, I was only lv 39!
Here’s some tips. They’re mostly found in the southeast shores, and the southern islets. However, they can sometimes spawn IN THE SNOWY MOUNTAINS! To knock out a Spino, I didn’t use trap method. I just ran up a cliff and tranq it out. However, the cliff taming method is hard, as the Spino has torpor run. Be sure to have tons of narcotics and bio toxin, as their torpor drops fast. DO NOT USE NARCOBERRIES! NARCOBERRIES CAN ONLY BE FED ONCE EVERYTIME THE SPINO EATS A MEAT, MAKING IT EXTREMELY EASY TO WAKE UP!
Heres the tools you need:
Do the hunt dilophosaur quest and get a good bow (otherwise use crossbow)
Craft about 100 tranqs (if the level is high craft way more than THAT.)
Medical brews/cooked meat if you need to Regen
A Dino that is fast. I use Sarcos as they’re tanky, fast in water, and can take out annoying aggressive small creatures instantly. I also recommend Gallimimus (not used for engage in battle!), and other fast creatures. The most common method I use is to go right in front of the Spino, and tranq it on my sarco. When my sarco is low, I’ll just hop into the water and continue to tranq it. This way, it’s easy, and when you need to chase it during torpor run, you can just hop right off and chase it. Use fish meat! There are so many rivers nearby! You can also use prime fish meat (if you have sickle), as the local population of salmons are plentiful. Up if you think this is helpful!
Careful when taming because these guys are really fast so I recommend trapping them or get high ground
On mobile if on a server, if u get exactly 100 percent taming, it won’t wake up. Man my spino is sleepy
if you dont want to use a trap cause of the lack of resources,use a dino with atleast 2000+ health and a saddle,and about 11 spike walls to protect your spino.but if you dont have 150+ narcotics,you might need bio toxins or more narcotics,i needed lots of narcotics and a few bio toxins
DON'T TAME IT! IT SPELLS D E A T H.
Taming a spinosaure is easy if you are on a hill he cannot climb,even with a sling shot it’s working,now I am level ten I have a Spino and I am full of ressources
My buddies and I set up shop at the edge of the Center, just past Green Obelisk and right outside penguin pond. Not only do we have uncontested access to all the polymer in the world, but spinos spawn there all the time. At one point I think 5 or 6 were up at once. It's crazy how often they spawn there. Going to try and take a 145 one that's been there for about a week tomorrow.
I tamed this thing WITHOUT using any traps. It's simple just get about 20 or 10 tranq arrows then shoot it. Always remember to tame a low level. I tamed a level 10 and it was not easy. Make sure you have 20 cooked prime meat. You'll also need 70 narcotic which you can put it in the inventory of the spino then feed him with it. You'll have to wait and keep feeding it just keep it unconcius so the hunger of the spino decreases. Make it to 2135 hunger so you can put your cooked prime meat and tame it. Now you know how to tame it. Be the king of the island!!!
Spinos don't have much torpidaty so make sure you have a lot of narcotics but this does depend on the level
Why Spino can Kill my Brontosaurus
The base attack of this creature is much weaker than t-rex, even though the secondary attack is almost the same as rex but still, rex have their buff.
But don't be sad, this beast is absolutely king of the river, their attack speed is around 2 or even 3 times faster than rex, even though they're bigger than rex, they have pretty low health but they're able to run! Yes running is impossible for rex!.
I tamed one of this in low level, and a low level rex, they're able to take down every therizino in my territory.
