Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a spinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a spinosaurus.
All I did to tame one was grab like 20 trank arrows and find a cliff with my flying mount and lure it there, so easy to tame, also makes it easier when you get a 10x soothing balme for free
Get some prime meat, shoot this thing with shocking tranqs from a cliff or flying platform saddle or sm, wait till it’s knocked, make sure there is nobody nearby, give it the prime, put some biotoxin in (for if it’s torp gets low) and defend it. Once it’s tamed, throw the saddle on it, and just make sure that ur near a water source for its buff. Great battle creature, definitely recommend for mid-early tame
These things are hard to tame. I just can’t keep them asleep long enough to eat the meat
When knocked out. Dont leave them unnatended. A stupid dilo came and killed mine at 70%. Wasted allnmy biotoxins and prime meat
I would recommend using a flyer and finding a high rock then tranq Shove raw prime meat Down it’s throat and use a SOOTHING BALM PLS
Spino’s are OP but if you choose to tame one using a trap make sure they can’t run over it because the you have to re lure it in to the trap
Ok i use this taming method on rex, spino, and giga. You’ve got to pack ur self a flying mount, tranq arrows, crap ton narcotics, four metal billboards, and a bear trap. Set the signs up in a square near the spino. But LEAVE THE LAST ONE OUT of the circle. Put the bear trap in the middle. Lure it in the trap while on ur birdie and he’ll get stuck. Quickly place the last sign behind him and then fire away!
If u guys want to tame it I recommend caption fat dog he show traps and they are perfect
All you need to tame is four stone foundations eight stone doors and four wooden ramps this is by far the cheapest method.
Lay the foundations out in a square and put a stone door on each edge on the side facing towards desired spoon add the four wooden ramps making shore they go into the ground so they don’t get stuck then simply just shoot them take your flyer and fly over the trap high once in you can tranq him out and he won’t escape.
So its massive and intimidating but not that hard to tame. I have customised my settings abit cus I'm only solo player so my strategy may vary in effectiveness
I was in gloom grove- lost island, there was a waterfall and a hill too steep so he had nowhere to run either side; i took just under 150 tranq arrows and my journeyman crossbow, 163% dmg and 215 durab, I had around 70 trans left afterwards cus I missed afew shots
what I did was fly up to top of valley and build a foundation and catwalk to look out to shoot safely untill he was running then I parachuted down and chased him on my megalocerops (stag) cus hes fast, knocked him, killed any dangers and waited to tame, he was lvl 150 and I used 6 prime meat,
now i use him primarily to get Pearl's and oil from leeches right next to my cliff base, might not be 'the most efficient' to gather them to the pros out there but it's an easy 500 Pearl's and 2k oil in 3 mins running round and spamming attack :)
sorry so long but I couldnt make any shorter
If your thinking about taming one of these bad boys just make a row of 8 large bare traps and in each column put three four large bear traps so when they get out of the first bear trap they get trapped agian
These guys are Easy to tame because it only takes 4 to 10 tranq darts. One spino spawns at the weathertop region at the bottom of the map with a giant cliff you can stand at and shoot the spino at the bottom of the cliff.
Best way to tame these, is to build a 3 x 3 stone platform, then put stone door frames 3-4 tall all around it. Then, build a ramp up one side and lure the spino into it. I prefer 4 tall walls, but 3 tall should work just fine.
Fastest way to tame it is step 1: tame a dire bear
Step 2: take ur dire bear to swamp cave on mobile
Finish swamp cave it’s the ez cave
Step 3: get the artifact go to the tribute therminal tribute it and hope for a soothing balm if h don’t get it don’t worry swamp cave is ez and the artifact Tesla an every second so try again and then ez put the soothing balm in Thera inv and use it then feed berries I got 2 soothing balm on three times if finishing the cave it’s sooo ez👍🏾
Soo many ppl talking about how to tame an over here seeing how long it will take depending on the food I give 😭
you will need: fish, crossbow, tranq arrows, tame helper, narcotics and a flyer. (you can use a gun and darts) if your looking to tame one of these go to the big green metal thing in the sky and there is a little gorge around the center. find a spino and lead it in (make sure it’s not to far away) and you can shoot it and once it goes down hop on ur pteranodon, quetzal etc and fly down give it some fish and tame helper and narcotics and depending on the lvl u will have it in 1-20 mins FUN FACT: the big green thing in the sky i was talking about if you have a dinos implant and enough amber (it will say how many in the bottom right of the text) and you go to the green, red, purple/bule thing (idk what they are called lol 😅) in the sky you can revive the dino (WARNING: idk wether it works on computer but i done it on my iphone with a horse and it worked!) hope u enjoyed! (like so ppl know)
For trap you need only dino gate he cant go out from that and spino can easily jump from 3 hight wall use dino gate and for ramp use foundation for one side 4 wall hight required
In mobile RG kibble or prime fish meat recommended
I tamed my first spino in the redwoods and I built a trap with a LARGE BEAR TRAP and I kept having to feed it narcoberrys raw prime meat probably is better than normal raw meat. So keep a pronto trike or ankle with you to collect narcoberrys.
Best way I’ve found to tame them when your a low level is to stand on a ridge and shoot down at it and when it flees make sure you can corner it
Ok so what ur gonna need is 1. 200 Tranqs
2. 4 stone gates 3. And a pt I recommended you're lvl 40 so you atleast have a pteranodon
And two giant bear traps you can only make one but I make two for sure
Next make the gates in like a square oh only use 3 gates next you put the bear traps you lead it in its stuck so use the last gate for the way he/she got in
So she can't escape also there might be a baryonyx yeah so barys can be bola'd so no prob Now start tranqing the spino boom he's knocked out
Then I recommend biotoxin instead of narcotics get prime FISH meat while you're getting The biotoxin
And he/she's yours but when I said atleast lvl 40 you cry cuz you can't make saddle
