Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a spinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a spinosaurus.
Taming a spino is surprisingly easy! In my world I am around level 55. I just tamed one of these beasts to have so protection from big creatures if needed because I want to adventure away from home farther. I found my spino in a river in south zone 2 or. All I did was have a bunch of tranq arrows (31) and I went up on a cliff and shot down at it. This worked pretty well just make sure the bottom of the cliff is land not water. Then you can tranq it out until unconscious. Then make sure to put raw fish meat in its inventory (raw meat goes three times slower). And after that it’s actually a pretty quick tame! I have a level 2 so it was easier to tranq out but I will level him up until I can get the saddle at level 71!
Hope this helps- beginner ark player
How to tame a Spino
1: Gather loads of meat and fish meat
2: If you’re trying to tame a low level spino, make at least 30 tranq arrows. If you’re taming a stronger one make at least 100 (just in case). You can use the cross bow. If you don’t have one you can make a few normal bows
3: Make loads of narcotic. At least 50. Also make bronto egg kibble
3: find the spino you want to tame
4: shoot it
5: put the narcotic and meat or kibble in its inventory and wait
You have a spino :D
If this helped give a like
Don't recommend doing the 10 pillar/ladder trick, the spino will likely just run away. Instead build a pen that is at least 3x3 stone with all windows and at LEAST 4 high, otherwise the spino will just walk right over them. Easy enough to tame in a 3x3x4 stone box, just don't stand too close cause the attacks will reach outside of the pen.
These things are not that hard to tame on mobile just make 8 stone door frames. Basically you need six but make 2 as extra, then with a pteranadon Or other FLYING MOUNT trap it make a rectangular box.
Note - The people who write tips in which they tell that thay are popular youtubers like schwalbe Or iguana please stop such things cuz we readers are not idiots
Super glitchy to trap and fast 🤕
Be prepared with ether lots of narc or the little black mushrooms off ab I noitced the mushrooms do better
If you are going too tame a spono bring a lot of narcotics
Yeah, if it’s low level, don’t use pillars. I tried to knock one out using a 5-wall high tower, and the Spino still got to hit me on the tower, YEETED me almost inside a mountain, and did 7x the damage. Just use a mount with good health, like a Carbonemys or a Dire Bear
Mutton tames in 3 1/2 hours not 6
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
Be sure to get a baryonyx or a fast creature in and out of water, because the first time I took on a spino with my archentivis, it catches up with me faster than I expected, and the result was bloody. I used a baryonyx next and they are AMAZING for knocking Dino’s out. You can use things while riding them, and it has saved my life so many times.
Sad but true:a alpha dino doesnt despawn,but a regular dino does
To trap use bear traps and 8 of the mini stone dino gates to trap one then hit it in the face bring lots of narcotics and for a 150 bring with a primitive weapon bring like 115 arrows and/or 75 darts
Name ideas for the person asking for some for their female lvl 300 Spino: 1. Riptide 2. Whirlpool 3. Tsunami 4. Marina 5. Spin-off 6. Icicle 7. Anemone.
Please ^ if this was helpful!
I tamed a lvl 300 spino today and i tamed with 12 argy egg kibble and its a She
Any name suggestions for my spino
Their babies can be carried by quez on Mobil. Not sure about the others
These are the lions of the ark and if you managed to tame one, consider yourself lucky cause I tried legitimately 50 times to tame one and kept failing I did managed to tame one in the end so that cool
Always grab a lot of narcotics when taking these or just get a lot of bio toxin.
