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.

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 🗣️

(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
