Hello, this a Jedi. Me and my sister tamed one of these just now, and this is how we did it. 1. If you have and to find one of these, to scouting on a pteranadon. DO NOT ENGAGE, I REPEAT, SO NOT ENGAGE. 2. Go back to your base and make lots of tranque arrows and narcotics. 3. Go back to it with your pteranadon, and to to the spino. Park slightly far away from it. 3. BRING A FREIND. Me and my sister did this on single player. I don't think either of us could have taken it by ourselves. 4. Wait for it to attack something, like a parasaur. Then have your freind on the other side and load it with tranques. It will run fast and in the water so have a crossbow. Feed it meat and enjoy your monstrous freind! We named ours Titan. I'll post stories once he's seen action.

First you need to have atleast 30 narcotics a good amount of fish meat and traq arrows but I recommend using raw prime fish meat because it tames faster with raw prime fish meat. How I tamed it is I shot it then ran in-between rocks and trees then when it wasn't chasing me jo more I shot it again and I kept repeating that untill it was knocked out then force feed it some narcotics and put some fish meat or raw prime fish meat in there and wait and after that boom you have a spino.

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

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.
