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.

You do not need all the prep to tame a Spino. Simply use large bear traps. Also don’t waste time with narcotics. Bio toxins are much easier to get and work better.

If your on genesis you can find them at lat 59 lon 78.

Pro tip! Have a flyer or mount that you can fire weapons from if you dont want to use a trap. Please do not attempt to tame on foot unless you are stupid fast! They will run you down and if you do manage to survive than good luck chasing it.

Be careful there fast dangerous and can kill you

You’ve probably already seen this but the best trap for a spino is 4 normal sized Dino gateways and a bear trap. Place the traps in a square shape but leave the last one open, don’t place it yet. Place down a bear trap, lead it to the bear trap then but the gate behind it and boom.

For low levels all you need is height, 10 tranq darts (get more just incase) 30 narcotics and 20 fish. Shoot it, feed it with narcotics (and fish) until it get to like 94% tame, and you should have a spino. I did exactly that, died once but it got knocked out when I respawned and now I have a level 4 green spino! Goodluck!

I'd take a spino over a rex simply because they are arks ATV's. They can cover mountains, rocks, and can swim very well. They're also very good for conquering the swamp.

Stop using plain ol` meat! Use fish! It flies through!

Only capture a high level spino anything else will be a waste of your time and effort. As you will find the low levels to be as squishy as a pillow

This kind of only works on people who play ark mobile

1. Tame the dolphin thing, whatever they’re called

2. Make a ton of tanq arrows, bio toxin or narcotic works pretty good.

3. Ride your dolphin to a spoon, all creatures in ark mobile will ignore your dolphin and you, perfect for killing and taming large creatures

4. Find a Spino, I found mine near the swamp area where the big mammals are.

5. Knock out your spino

6. Tame it (biotoxin from jelly’s are highly recommended.) Good luck😀

DON'T waste time on feeding it normal meat l.

Feed it FISH/PRIME FISH meat to make is little bit quicker.

Make trap because they run faster than U when going to be killed or torpidity is high.Their saddle opens at lvl 71 they can be found anywhere near water(instead of swamp,thier swamp spawn rate is lowwww)And they don't damage stone :)

How to find a high level spino or baryonyx on mobile:

Just north of south zone 2 there is a river. Head up river until you see the river branch off to your right (eastwards) near 78/60. Along this branch of the river spino and baryonyx spawn a lot. If you don’t see a good one just kill every fish in the river and come back. Just tamed a lvl 140 spino and lvl 145 baryonyx after doing this for about 2 hours.

Be careful tho this river has a lot of raptors and sometimes carnos and alpha raptors along its bank.

Easier to find than theris, rexes and megatheriums and have more health and damage too. I cannot stress just how much better spinos are than the three so called ‘boss Dino’s’ Use spinos for all bosses on the island.

Be careful and make sure that the cliff is high enough if you're using that strategy, as their two legged attack can reach through the stone and whop you off.

The first day of ark I played I thought it was friendly bad decision…I walked up and it chased me…I ran into another one I lost everything

Anyone know how to get rid of a spino who just stands there and will not move away from your base ;-;

Tamed one with raw meat only and it took at least 5 ark days.

These guys are TANKS. They’re stronger than a Rex, but slow on land. I recommend though. Use them for getting around in water areas to fight off creatures like a sabertooth salmon on megapirhana. 10/10! Tame one!
