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)

Hello I am the person who tamed Hemlock and posted the following tip:

Spino is my absolute FAV Dino. I haven’t seen one in ark cus I kinda like to keep to my own little area. There is a spino spawn thing a little farther than I have gone. Should I?

10 likes or up by Christmas = yes

At the time of writing this that tip has 184 likes. Not only was I convinced to tame Hemlock, my beautiful buddy, it gave me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone.

After I tamed Hemlock (who I named after the poisonous water hemlock) I noticed he was getting lonely. So, as any good master would do I decided to find a mate for him so he can stop feeling lonely. I hopped on my ichy, Mint Chocolate, and went for a swim to check out spino spawns by the coast. Wile I did find many promising spinos, none of them where female. At last I checked the last spino spawn I could get too by ichy. Nothing. Hemlock grew even sadder when I returned empty handed. It turned out Charlie, my baby raptor, over heard me talking to Mint about finding Hemlock a friend, then told Hemlock. I was heart broken watching Hemlock pout by the river all day. I checked a map that could show me the locations best to find spinos when I saw something awesome! There was a spino spawn just up the river by my base! I also remember seeing a spino there awhile back. Of course it chased me off before I could really take a good look at it. Immediately, I jumped onto my iguanodon, Nerra. Then road off to the river. As I arrived at the river I took out my spy glass to get a better look, and there she was! A beautiful pink and tan female spino! I noticed then that she was injured. Either way I would of helped her but, this was perfect because it meant less chance of her hurting me and Nerra. It was easy to calm her down with my traqu arrows and cross bow, and with a few narcotics and a lot of fish meat, she became happy with me. Ever since I brought her home Hemlock has been happier then ever. I named her Lilly, and she loves Hemlock and all of our tames.

(Ark Mobile) So you’ll need to bring plenty of narcotics (100 should be good but I bring more) about a stack of tranq arrows or darts, a good flying mount (health, speed, and stamina wise), and plenty of the food to tame it with. First what you’ll want to do is find it and lure it away from any body of water, becuse if you knock it out in water it will drown (it did for me twice). Then you’ll want to keep shooting it until it runs away this is where the mount speed and stamina is helpful. Chase it and if you can try to keep it away from water. When it’s knocked feed it the food and plenty of narcotics. And boom enjoy your new super powerful Dino! Hope this helps :)

Lookin to tame a land and water behemoth! Ok but first you need this stuff

Tranq arrows tranq darts what’re you prefer

If you want to tame a high level use a trap to make sure it does not run

Give it prime fish you can get it from using a sickle on a sabertooth salmon

Feed it naracotics every now and then

And you now own the behemoth of the beaches

*extra tip* if you want to level it up quick go to rivers and slap a bunch of fish till you level up a lot

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

So, the Spinosaurus. Ya’ want to know how to tame one, correct? Well, here is a list of ways I’ve tamed them in the past.

1: Stonehenge & Large Bear Traps

Build 6 stone dinosaur gateways, and put one in the front, and then 2 long around the sides. Like a rectangle Stonehenge but have the very back has no gate. Fill the place up with large bear traps at the one dinosaur gateway. Lead the Spino inside and then go around the back and place the final Dinosaur Gateway. The Spino is now trapped within Stonehenge and can easily be tamed with an ascendant bow/crossbow, a decent crossbow, or a normal Longneck with tranq darts. Keep shooting and don’t stop until it’s unconscious. Feed it any prime meat or fish meat, and use 150+ narcotics or bio-toxins. Try bringing 100 narcotics for level 30, 150 for level 100 and 300 for level 200+. If you are on mobile, try using Soothing Balm if you don’t have enough food/narcotics. Hope this helps!

Oh shoot I’m at the character limit.

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.

When you tame a spino, ALWAYS BRING BIO TOXIN. You need a bunch of it, because here on do do dex, and in the game, spino torpor drops high. What I mean is, the spinos torpor goes down fast. So I recommend if spino torpor gets to the middle, feed it bio toxin until its almost full of torpor. When I tamed my spino, it was a close call. A very close call. 1. I ran out of tranq arrows.

2. No more Cnidarias were in the area, (OR SO I THOUGHT), so I thought hope was lost, when suddenly, boom, a group of cnidarias were in the water. I killed them all for bio toxin. At that time, when I got there, the Spino was only at 280.1 Torpordity, so I quickly started feeding it bio toxin. I tamed it with raw meat ONLY. Fish meat was scarce where the spino was, and Bio Toxin, was a need. Also, take a direwolf with you along with a flying mount. Put them on stop, and make sure the direwolf is far away. 1. Direwolves give a boost on the drops of the creature they kill. (On Back Only). So they can gather lots of meat, more than your metal tools.

3. Direwolves are a good source of protection, and very floofy.

If you are planning on taming another spino, please take lots more tranq arrows. Sorry if I have bad grammar. I posted this on my Phone. I play on mobile, so some of this stuff may not work. Check Do do dex for more info. It really helped me!

I tamed my first ever Spino. She/He, can kill other Spinos. Now when I have it out, I am not afraid of anything. It can even kill a Rex. I wanted to go easy mode, so I picked Casual, and Easy. My Spino is now lvl 40 something. Thats a lot. With great power comes great responsibility. Get yourself a Spino. If you plan on taming a high lvl, I recommend taking loads of raw meat,

And a bunch of Bio Toxin. I had a few close calls when trying to tame my Spino. I named it Rexy. Spinos have underwater buff, they are stronger when attacking with their front claws. Bites are slower and weaker. Spino also knocks back. Be careful! Spinos are strong. Get to a high cliff, then shoot it up with tranq arrows if you are a low lvl. Feed it with raw meat if its the only source. Feed it bio toxin if torpor is almost gone. -TinaZ, with Rexy.

Things you will need:

Tranq arrows or darts. ( I needed only 12 )

Longneck rifle or crossbow. { I used crossbow}

The trap method:

Take some stone pillars and place in an area a spino will fit. Then tranq it up and feed it (raw prime fish meat works best )

Your spino is tamed

The old school method:

Get up in an area higher than the spino and knock it out. You will need to chase after it tho. Then feed it.

Your spino is tamed!
