Find a low level spino and spam your tranqdarts with the crossbow and make sure you have good movement speed, then you don't necessarily need a trap.

I have tamed 2 of these guys when I was around lvl 35-40s. Find some near rivers, find a good rock and shoot them (with tranqs of course) to knock them out. It helps to have a flier eg. pteranodon to move between rocks.

You can also use your pteranodon’s twirl ability to hit low level Spinos in mid-air so a higher level may spawn in it’s place.

Good luck! I hoped this helped :)

Too tame it you just have to get on a high enough cliff so that it can't hit you then start tranqing it and when the spino runs peruse with something that flys

on mobile you can kill spino by placing 1 wooden spike wall and then shoot it with arrow under 20 shot and then K.O

On Valguero tame them in the AB trench, they’re really common there.

Ok they are not able to tame on my ark because they have 1 hp

Just go up on a higher rock and give him a shot of 57 tranq arrow at least

If spino can climb on rock then pray to god ☠️

This account has to hatto my goal and sharko is murder

The free gift gave me a spino saddle wen i was lvl 45

My favourite Dino is a Tapejara- I love them. My friend’s favourite Dino is a Spino. I convinced him to tame a Tapejara with me, so we did- and he doesn’t regret it. On our way back I spotted a mid-level Spino, and as my friend’s new he didn’t know about level stuff, so I knew he wouldn’t care. I stocked up on loads of narcotics for both of us and during our shenanigans I tranqed him and snuck them into his inventory. After I said that we were going on a ‘field trip’ on the Tapejara and flew him too the Spino- you could hear his face light up.

Now, Spinos LOVE big bodies of water with cliffs and one or two beaches, and the Tapejara can latch onto cliffs- so I latched us to a wall and we started firing. After a while it knocked and I spent the rest of my time hunting for prime as my friend admired the Spino- I put it in its inventory and it began to tame. When it woke he loved it- playing about, killing fish, grinning, all that kinda stuff. He still has the Spino now and loves it to death. I make sure it’s fed and he just kills stuff.

What too take from this:

•Spinos love big bodies of water with a few beaches and a lot of cliffs

•Tapejara are perfectly suited to taming Spinos as they can latch onto the cliffs to help you Tranq the Spino

•It took us 200-275 Tranqs for a mid-level: for a high or max level you need even more

•Bring taming food before hand- it took me 30 minutes of hunting then coming back to feed it narcotics again and again and again

•Bring narcotics- even if you don’t need them, just in case

-Two guns are better than one: it took the both of us shooting it to actually knock it within 20-30 minutes- either have some high level Tranq gear or bring more than one person to do the job

•My friend lost sight of the Spino at one point and almost ran off the cliff- LEARN FROM THIS: The over-eager will not think about consequences when making decisions: if you have a goofy tribe mate or someone who loves Spinos a lot consider: would they let their excitement get them and their tames killed? Although they might love the Dino, would it be safer to have them sit one out?

I hope my tale helped you- learn from my experiences

Don’t tame if your new to ark but kibble is the best thing to tame with

Make a 4 x 4 stone foundation with stone doorframes surrounding it three walls high. Next make a stone ramp up one side. Keep in mind I will likely not have enough foundation support. But a simple solution would be to replace the middle ramp with a ceiling and build stone pillars down. And finally if you’re not fast enough to outrun it. Agro it with an argie and lead it up the ramp and into the trap. Now that is trapped you can knock it out fairly easy with a dart rifle and tranquilizing darts.

A great way to tame these early if you have a megalodon is to get the trap you have chosen and load it into the megalodon(you may need to upgrade weight some) then get the trap set up and take your megalodon and get some prime fish meat. Where nice you have done this keep the meat in your megalodon because it lasts longer in tames. Then trap the spino and knock it out and feed it the prime fish meat. I would encourage the use of prime fish meat to normal prime meat because it is slightly more and effective ad with the proper setup easier to get.

If you think a hundred narcotics are enough to tame this thing, you are sorely mistaken

I recommend using a longneck rifle with tranqdarts. Headshots do more physical damage and less torpor. Aim for the sail and the neck. Use argent kibble. Second prime fish, third mutton. When tamed, use a quetzal with a platform saddle to transport it to base.

I'm a average ark player but I just used 4 stone gateways and that's it I tried doing it on a cliff but it was to fast to try run and tranq so the trap is definitely easier but I do play single player with settings boosted a little so I don't know how hard stone gateways are to get normally.

Wild Spinos love Raw Prime Fish Meat so much they eat one per 25 hunger instead of 50 when taming!

Trap the spino by making cage i don't know how to build it but see on youtube he it in the cage and then sleep and then tranq it it's food level will be 0

Trapping it with bear traps or a trap that holds it forever is essential bc when these guys are about to go down they run like hell, and fast.

Always have higround on him on him when you are shooting trancets
