Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a spinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a spinosaurus.
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 🗣️
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
Tranquilizer darts is the best way to knock it out. When you knock it out make sure it’s not underwater so it does not drown when you tame it.
This is good for taming anything on singleplayer just leave and put Dino food drain on max for quicker tames
Do the same thing that you do to the godfather i mean giga but with stone
Best Dino to take
On a rex
And good for killing fish
Traps are effective, but hard to make and these things can climb good. Whenever I tame them I try and find a nearby cliff and shoot them form there. They are VERY fast when fleeing, so try to shoot them headshots and very fast.
Make a 4 by 4 foundation with door frames 3 high all around and a ramp up one side. If fast enough Agro the spino and run up the ramp and out the door frame. If not use a flyer.
If you have around 309 health a normal crossbow base damage and lots of prey this thing is so easy to tame just start shooting it and dodge the hits
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
Do not knock out in the water biggest mistake ever
If you have a primitive crossbow, don't go for low levels. Use tranq darts. A level 72 spino I tamed had about 1800 health when I knocked it. And it was getting on low health with ascendant crossbow.
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.
IT IS CRAZY HARD TRYING TO FIND A SPINO ON THE ISLAND BUT VERY EASY ON ABBERASTION!
(Tip is at the end)I tamed 2 of these beasts so far I got a lvl 2 and a 3 in total it took around 80 narcotic combined and around 10 tranq arrows. For each I used a crossbow and once they are out u HAVE to stay with them so they don’t wake up the trick is to find one by a cliff and tranq them from there
So I am only level 45 and I tamed one of these I was very far from spawn which is where my base is I just stoop atop a. Cliff and tranq him by the time he fell my heart was beating SOOO fast I thought he would kill me and my pteranodon parked next to me the spino I tamed was level 2 now he is a level 5 and slowly getting better. If you want a tame just find one near a cliff and crossbow-tranq them till the down the shove LOTS of narcotics and fish meat in then have it kill the therinzo that almost killed you when you put food in it’s inventory.
