I just recently tamed a spinosaurus today by having about 32 tranq arrows but only having to use around 20. I got up on a hill and continued shooting it. Like all dinos do, the spino started running away when it got high on torpidity. I now have a new male spino!

so cooked fish meat takes less time to tame a spino? also prefer scraping from scrape meat fish to tame

How to tame a Spino!

2 METHODS

Method 1 - Trapping (Easiest, Most Expensive)

Materials: 9x stone foundations, 24x stone double doorframe, 6x stone ramps.

Place the foundations in a 3x3 square, then 2 layers vertically of double doorframes along the edges. Then make a place the ramps along one wall.

Use a flyer (Pteranodon or Argentavis) and get the Spino to aggro on you. Then lead it up the ramp and into the trap. Then land and start shooting it with your tranq ammo of choice.

Method 2 - Pillar (Harder, Less Expensive)

Materials: 10x-15x stone pillars, 10x-15x ladders.

Place the pillars on top of each other, then ladders going up the pillars.

Get the Spino’s aggro and then go up the pillar on the ladder. When you get to the top, turn around and start shooting it with your tranq ammo of choice.

Where it gets difficult is when it starts torpor running . You must go down the ladder and follow it while shooting it, but it is faster than you, so this is easier said than done.

USES

They have good stamina, melee, and okay health, and they also can breathe underwater.

They get an infinite buff when in the water and lasts for 30 seconds after you leave the water.

They have 2 types of stances, the 2-legged stance and the 4-legged stance. When on 4 legs they will run faster but less attack ddamage. When on 2 legs they run slower but have more attack damage.

Use a prime meat jerky instead. It'll only take 10 to tame a max level one

If you have a pteranadon, 4 stone Gates and a large bear trap with around 20-35 tranqs in a crossbow you can take it down. Imagine a square of Gates, except there's one missing and a L bear trap in the middle. You lure It from the side with the gate missing. when it gets stuck, cover up the last gate and you can fire away. You can use whatever you want for taming. You can also do this with the rex.

good luck

I got mine by going up on a cliff and it's really easy. so today I decided go to tame a spino with my argy, when I saw one I shot him a tranq dart then immediately hopped on my argy and flew up, after many shots it finally started running and I immediately started chasing him and after a while I finally got him down. then I started making a bed so I could save some time, I gave him the fish meat and a soothing balm, then I went to sleep and after coming out I saw this beast standing right next to my argy, at first I thought he just woke up but no... I actually tamed him

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.

Or should we say ALPHA PRIME(red natural)

I read all the tips, and even though I'm a newbie to ark the methods of taming the spino I've seen are pretty.. Inefficient

I just downloaded dododex

I tamed a spino at lvl 26 using a raft, wooden structures such as wall, foundation, roof and door etc on the raft.

You can find spinos, (on mobile as far as I know) between 40-50 LON, and 70-80 LAT, just look on your map.

Now taming them is relatively easier and less resource consuming than the other methods. I used this method as an uncultured and unknowledged swine and it worked. Spinos often spawn near water so build a raft and house on top of the raft, build a bow or crossbow, or the bow you get from dilo hunt persuit, once you see a spino position the raft so that you can peek out your door and shoot arrows, agro it with an arrow then drive the raft again luring it to land so that you don't tame it in water.. Lol

Stay inside the house you built on the raft while spamming tranq arrows on it (they will often circle the raft so just wait for them to pass by the Door, when they run just chase and keep shooting tranq arrows till they knock down) make sure to have at least 15-20 narcotics. Normal meat works even though it will take time. If you need more narcotics just make some more, if you have the soothing balm use it.

And then voila, you have a spino

Just build a tower out of 8 or so stone pillars and some wood roofs used it to tame lvl 95 (watch out for therizinos and dimorphs while taming)

It's easy to tame I had 2 of them in the last game but I tamed them with a trap because I was a beginner,only u need is at least 8 dino gates straight on a track,and then put the door in the last dino gates,so find this bad boy and run from him,so he'll follow you to kill,simply run to the trap and then close the dino gate,he'll busy in breaking dino gates to kill you but at that moment you'll use tranq arrows,that's how I tamed them.

Im a mobile player and i REALLY WANT ONE OF THESE so i keep caving for soothing balms but i cant get them! any tips for taming a spinosaurus? I dont have kibble also so should i use prime fish meat? If i get a soothing balm i might wait for it to starve then get bio toxin and prime fish

I tamed a lvl 22 spino without any traps or flying creatures i climbed a high rock that was attached to a mountan so if he hits me i wont get launched from the rock i started shooting him whit crossbow and tanqr arrows and he fell down BRING AT LEAST 100 NARCOTICS OR 80/100 BIO TOXIN AND DON'T USE REGULAR MEAT LIKE I DID USE PRIME MEAT OR FISH MEAT

One of the easiest tames out there!! All you need is to have a high ground and about 10-20 narco arrows. Make sure once it starts running away that it will bump into rocks. Tamed a lvl 5 and only needed a 3x soothing balm with 50 narcotics and fish ✨️ only thing that sucks is now i gotta get to the lvl where i get a spino saddle

It can’t destroy stone so just make a stone foundation and build the stone walls about 10 high. Be sure to bring ladders and ceilings to make a little snipers nest. Also bring some narcotics because torpor drains fast. I used cooked prime meat to tame mine but just any meat will suit. Pretty easy tame this way for a big scary dino

Make sure to take lots of narcs/bio toxin

Can anyone help me how to make the trap

How to tame:

Step 1: Build a trap near but not too close to your desired spino.

Step 2: Lead it into the trap. (Don't underestimate their speed!)

Step 3: Shoot it with tranq arrows/darts until it goes unconscious.

Step 4: Put your taming food into it's inventory, and wait.

Step 5: Enjoy your new spino! (These guys are really good :D)

I had four spinos but one died saving my life from a meg (he was low like 100 hp) but and the one I just tamed I tamed with one piece of prime and 10x balm
