Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a spinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a spinosaurus.
I agree about getting too much narcotics but it can help cause torpor ends fast so pls use narcotics or do something else like give it kible
It is actually pretty easy to tame just get a giant turtle and tranqu it with tranqe arrows👍
To easily tame this large creature. Find it on redwood lakes or other lakes. It likes argentavis kibble sp use that so u can easily tame it!
SPINOS WAKE UP FAST, BRING ATLEAST 200-300 NARCOTIC AND BIO TOXINS!!!!!!!!
Its easy to tame these guys, this is what i do when taminf a low level to an average level: (works in all devices)
1. Find high ground and start shooting at it (30 tranq arrows maybe, and if no high ground then build a few stone pillars and ladders on it then start shooting)
2. It will run away when its torpidity is high, get down and chase after it and keep shootin (their pretty fast)
3. Once its knocked out, feed it raw fish or any other food that does better effects
4. Add about 60+ narcotics since their torpidity drops fast
5. Enjoy your new spino (they take about 30+ minutes to tame for a low level)
Had low level spawn by my large 4 story base. I said what the heck and knocked it out with tranq arrows. Had bunch of narcs at my base. Got soothing balm with the kibble and tamed it right away. For seriously level 2. He was awesome. Then I got 2 more higher levels and reaching more my max tame limit so sadly sacrificed him. He was such an ugly color lol but he did the job and protected my butt all the time.
Don't try to tame them from the open water. Yes, they're easy to knockout with an icthy, but they also drown. It will not tame fast enough to avoid drowning. Unlikely that it will wake up before drowning.
IDK if dinos come in different sizes on mobile, but a lvl 60 spino will NOT fit in a 3x3x3 stone trap
I dont see anyone talking about how these buggers are if you don't trap them and they start running.... Chased one across the map
I just lured it to the red obelisk then let it fall in. Boom. Natures spino trap 🪤. So purple can see consider upping this tip :)
(Just don’t let it get to the edges of the obelisk or it will get out.)
Tame this monster with raw meat if you want and knock it out with most likely a half of the durability of a crossbow: Tranq arrow. They are found in most swamps but can also be found next to any type of River or water source. These dinosaurs are Tanks and are super strong at times and super swift at others! They also breed a lot and are very strong and loyal to their owners I advise taking these for midgame+ I don’t think this is the best starter tame but if you pull it off grow your army till you get a titanasaur or giganotosaurus
>!Base Update!<
My base now has torches on the small parts where I can’t place the rail! Also there are to spaces swamp and normal I also got a female giga lvl 1331!! Her name is Giganaro and she lives on the top part.. soon she will be moved to the bottom floor so I can stop using god mode to force her up there eek the elevators are to weak... I also added a industrial cooker! That’s it for now check back in next time!!
SOO... i was a lvl 25 at the time riding my new raptor when I saw a spino a thought to myself RUNNNNN but I was looking in my inventory and saw a soothing balm ...... to make a long story short my raptor died but I cam home with a new spino
To tame them you get Lure the spino to a cliff and tranq them
Changed my life is prime meat and tranq darts
Use 4 dino gates and 1 large bear trap. Place the bear trap in centre of 3 dino gates in a u shape big enough for spino to get in ,not to big, When the spino is in the trap stuck in the bear trap place the las dino gat blocking the spino inside. It takes 64 tranq darts using 167 longneck rifle. And 88 trans arrows. Need 200 narcotics to keep knocked out. Do not leave it without narcotics being consumed
To knock out spino find a high place or craft a pillar that is 10 blocks high then shoot the spino(recommended longneck rifle)(tranqdart)the until it run away from if it run away just keep firing until it know down
I saw a tip saying they can't be tamed underwater because they will drown. I don't think that's true. I'm currently taming one that's fully submerged, it's at 60% and full oxygen. Only about 3ft of his dorsal spines are above water. :)
It was surprisingly easy to tame a level three one, as it spawned next to my home. It took about six darts from the crossbow for me to knock this one down. To tame, I gave it about 4 prime raw fish meat and 10-35 pieces of regular raw fish meat. However, it took SOOOO LONGGGGG TO TAME!!!! Anyways.
For me it preferred raw meat over fish meat. Wastes a lot of time trying to fees it fish meat and prime fish meat.
I tamed it by bringing the spino next to a cliff bottom , and I recommend the tapejara because it lands on walls and I used a crossbow with some tranqs and when he tried to escape I over shot it and leaded into a hole and then again tranqed it and got it done lol,and it prefers prime fish meet.USE 15x smoothing balm costs 45 amber
