okay so I keep seeing vids that tell u a complex way to trap a spino, but I saw a low level one near me and I just said “f it” and shot some tranq arrows at it and now I have one… j go for it ig and it’s my fave tame
Have a speedy dino handy! Once the spino is almost knocked out it RUNS very fast from you. I chased it down firing tranqs while on the back of a Baryonyx. And now that spino is my best friend and ride it everywhere. Very few other dinos will mess with you. Even Alpha Raptors don't pick fights with you while riding a spino. These guys are awesome 😎
When preparing make sure to be able to do something about him running away incredibly fast if you don't use a trap
On official I tamed a 130 bye getting it in a circle of giant bear traps and repeatedly head shoting it. With a master craft long neck and tranq darts took about 5-10 head shots. Used around 700 narcotics and used exceptional kibble. Still will take 2 hours though.
To perfect tame 150 on 2x tame trap it knock out feed it nothing let it wake up knock it out again give it 8 kibble it will immediately eat 4 because it was starved and 4 more bites will tame with no narc at max lvl(224)
In general, for an easy tame build a taming raft. Make sure to have a few large storage boxes filled with narcotics, few preserving bins with meat or kibble in it.
Lure any kind of creature into the raft with a flyer (pteras or argies works better).
Once trapped tranq it down, and move the raft away from the shore a bit. Not to much or you'll atract leedsythis (those giant fish-whales thingies lol)
Easy and happy taming
Watch out for theris when trying to tame these things… they always killed spinos. I’ve tried to tame six spinos so far, and five out of those six times a theri has killed the spino.
Hi! If you’re a beginner and want to tame a spino without a trap, heres a tutorial
1. Look for a low level spino
2. Craft 45-50 tranq arrows, 45 narcotics, and a crossbow
3. Get up somewhere high but where you can shoot at it and not get hit
4. You might miss some shots so that why I recommend crafting a lot of tranq arrows.
5. Shoot at it until it passes out, if it isn’t close do not approach! It might come closer if there’s another creature there that can get it’s attention
6. Put in 25-30 fish meat (because you might not have prime)
Watch for its torpor make sure It doesn’t wake up!
Watch out for any raptors and carnos, if you knocked it out in the water be careful with giant piranhas
And boom you have a low level spino 🗣️
Ima give you a very easy knock out but will
Require the most prep work so first up you wanna build a ramp leading up to a 3ny 3 door frame stacked on top each other then load up you can use a raptor if your more comfortable with that once the spinosaurs is in the box fire at it once it’s down unconscious feed it fish meat if your spino wakes up don’t worry shoot it back down but feed it narcotics to keep it asleep
One of the more useful dinos in mid game once you unlock bow or crossbow and tranq arrows you need a Dino that you can mount with a saddle with a crap ton of health you spray at the spino once it’s down feed it fish meat and also if you have a thing that boosts taming use it it will do 60% of it done in just 30 seconds
If you are a starter and you want to tame one of these or kill one of these I recommend making a trap or manual saving your game in the files so if you die instead of going for your loot over and over again just load the saved file.
If you want to knock one out just make sure there are other creatures close. They get distracted easily and will ignore you if there’s other things to kill closer than you are. Just make sure nothing is angry at it I was taming a spino that was about 70% done until a turtle showed up that was angry at the spino and killed it
If you play on ark mobile, make sure to see what their level is, at low levels below 5 I think, both the spino I have and the one I am taming rn (single player so it's frozen in the background) the tame bar raised by 7% roughly for both, and they're lvl 4 and lvl 3. So it only takes exactly 15 meat to tame these, and they're easy to knock out, cliff, when they run, ir you're fast enough and have enough to survive the jump from tur cliff jump off and chase em
This is a hard to get dino know for its hostile activity and apex strength for taming it is not an easy task knowing that they can swim and run faster then you with means retreat is not an option. But an easy way to get one is to steal an egg but doing this is very dangerous but the size of the spino I so big but it has a slow attack on trees witch means if you can get away into a dense forest you can snag a egg without death but you should not be so happy yet you need to get away from the spinos not leading them to your camp. You should go deeper in the forest and then head to your camp if something kills you that means you should go get your items at first death and if your items despawn then restart the process until you succeed.
They are really fun to use but when taming have at least three people to help you tame it or just trap it
First find one, second get a ton of tranquilizer arrows, third lead it to a cliff, fourth shoot shoot shoot.
Use a smoothing balm and give raw meat have 15 narcotics or more and your done with a low level for high levels use more narcotics and if you have prime meat so easy
Currently taking of the spine on Xbox one is currently glitched me and my two brothers tried taking about a dozen spinos and 9/12 of them hit 100% tame then woke up and turned on us like rabid animals
Look up Captain Fatdog on YouTube for his Spino trap, it’s the cheapest and easiest I’ve used. Just 14 stone pillars, works like a charm.
