On mobile, when I was new and low level but wanted to tame spinos - I used to bring in some life bait to the spinos to distract it from attacking me (tamed carbos and parasaurs with high health, around 800 or 1200) or let it aggro a wild Dino for a bit, and when it focuses on the Dino bait, I hop to a safe distance and tranq it until it was knocked out. It took me at least 10-30 tranq arrows.

I just give it raw fish, and when taming it took too much time and the torpor bar starts draining fast I give it some narcotics or bio toxin I get from killing nearby cnidarias (at least 60 narcotics or 30+ bio toxins) then just wait.

Kept doing it until I have like 4 spinos run after runs.

The spinos often spawn on the coasts and beaches in the footpaw region which is where I usually found them. Sometimes they do spawn in the river near the volcano and the waterfall and rivers in the redwood forest.

This is for every Ark Mobile player:

1. Make a trap.

2. Knock it out with the ascendant bow from the “Kill Dilophosaurus Persuit.

Get soothing balm. Tame.

Done.

Best way I think is to trap them in a box,make sure that the walls are at least 3 high because they will climb out!!also loads of narcotics or narcoberries,they lose torpor almost as fast as Dimetrodons.

For this dinosaur I suggest using big bear traps to help keep the spino in place while shooting tranq arrows. Shooting at its head will tranq it faster .I also suggest using a crossbow, it will make the process faster.👍👍

I just kinda went on a cliff and shot it with a bunch of tranq arrows until it was knocked out then just fed it biotoxins and raw fish meat, it did take awhile though

Now I’ve got a spino next to like my dodos and raptors it looks so out of place

Build a Pillar Trap and Shot with Darts on him!

The best thing to find one is flying over the river randomly. if you found one make sure he cant hit you (go on a boulder or on a cliff) and shoot at him with tranq arrows. If he is unconsious just put prime or normal meat in him and make sure you have enough narcotic (i tamed a level 50 first and it needed about 200) and if you are escorting him into your base do NOT attack any strong dinos he cant handle it if its a level 100 or less spino that does not mean its weak but you have to level him a bit before killing strong dinos (the spino level 50 got 22 level with the taming bonus and he died at escorting him to my base from a therizino btw that was 30 mins ago now im mad at this game, it was my first spino)

spino’s, personally I believe they’re AMAZING tames, but trapping them is a pain, somehow they managed to get out of the trap mid knockout because there seems to be an odd glitch where they decide they just simply don’t wanna be trapped. I reccomend using a giga trap with stone. (if you don’t know how to do the “giga trap” you need about 4 dino gates, place 3 placed with 2 gates open to where the spino will stand, with one gate where it would run out, and a bear trap in the middle where you would run into, and dodge it, making the spino in stead get stuck, then go behind it and place a gate behind it’s tail and boom it’s stuck. make sure to use normal gates not behemoth) and get to taming!

Here’s a tip for broke people 1.prepare some meat (prime is preferred) the prepare around 20 30 if bad aim and 80 narcotic 2.get on a tall and steep cliff 3.start shooting after a while it will run away follow it till it gets knocked out 4.shove all the meat you have 5.feed it narcotic and defend it from other dinos 6. You got a buffed dimetrodon

Use a grappleing hook and get above where they can reach and go crazy with your trank darts until it passes out then give it some prime meat and have a bad A dino

for the X-Spino you're going to need a minimum of 150 darts and 300 narco or 2000 narcoberry

Always use toxiant and feed it prime trust me it will work

Always have a bronto with yourself or any other high hp dinosaur this will take spinos attention from you to your dino and start shooting with crossbow tranq arrows

Ok i will give tips for taming spine boi( hes my personal fav dino)

1. If you want a trap, craft 14 stone pillars and place them like this

-

- -

-

With the front ones 4 pillars tall the middle one 3 pillars tall and the back one 1 pillar tall. Or you can just find a cliff and shoot it there.

2. Tranq the spino(i reccomend you do hunt dilo quest it gives an ascendant or mastercraft bow)and bring at least 70 tranqs if you're using crossbow(by the way thats the amount for a 150)

3. Feed it prime fish meat and your narcotic of choice to keep it asleep.

4. Saddle it and there you go, a killing machine more versatile than the rex.

Extra facts:

Spinos can swim faster than megs.

Spinos get a hydration buff after touching a body of water(+25% movement speed, +10% damage and +10% stam)

Spinos have a bipedal mode where it gains 1.5x damage but reduces movement speed.

First build 4 or 10 stone gates and place 3 or 9. Take a Dino that can tank some attacks from the spino and put it in your trap. If it’s in, launge the last gate. Walk out the trap with your dino(if your dino is bigger than the gate this won’t work). Now what I would recommend is leave him alone for a game day. When you’ll come back he is hungry and will eat faster. I also recommend taking a smoothing balm(mobile) the spino likes meat and argentavis kibble. It’s torpor goes down fast so take some biotonic with you. The saddle is on lvl 71. Once it’s tamed. 🔥🔥🔥🔥. It will be the fastest and the strongest Dino you’ll have. Spino>ark(except wild giga)

I’m level 37 and apparently have poor judgement skills. First, I brought only 30 tranq arrows. Next I brought 50. The third time her friend ganged up on me. But now I’m prepared. I’m going to make 100 tranq arrows, I have minor soothing balm, about 100 raw meat, and 50-some bio toxins. Up if you think it’s enough.

I found a easy method to taming these guys (and anything else) I used a stego with lots of health aggrod a spino and shot tranqs off the stegos back as the stego tanked the spinos hits.

You can find tons of Spinos around the redwoods river

Do not underestimate their height, on two legs they can reach higher than the stone building height limit, outside of that they are pretty much the best water tame your gonna get, imagine a Sarco on adrenaline. I’ve got 4 of em now and don’t regret getting any of em

To trap it, make a “C” shape out of small stone dino gates, put a large bear trap in the middle and lure the beast in. When the trap snaps, walk behind it and close it in with one final dino gate. To knock it out, I would use a longneck with tranq darts. Make sure you have a LOT of narcotic or bio toxins because this drains torpor significantly faster than a rex.
