Knocking out a Spino is pretty easy if you have a good crossbow, tranq arrows and a damage sponge tame. My taming does not involve traps, and as such I recommend a Sarco or a Baryonyx.

Alternative: A T. Rex will almost always be targeted by a Spino, so put the Rex on Passive and pump the Spino full of tranquilizers as it takes one for the team.

If you can help it, knock out the Spino on the riverbank next to Sabertooth Salmon. Use your best sickle to get Prime Fish Meat from them, or if you don't have that pray to R-N-you-know-who for some while you use your metal pick.

I always search for Spinos in the southern portion of the map, in the range of 60-75 latitude and 40-70 longitude. The eastern portion of that area is what I call "Spino Valley." I get very lucky witb Spinos there, and there are plenty of spots where fleeing Spinos get stuck. I hope all of this info helps you find my favorite dinosaur!

It cant deal damage to stone structures so make a trap with 4 big stone portals and a big bear trap

I just agroed the spino then put up a Dino gate as it got close and it works well because it tries to get you but can’t. Then when it starts torpor running you can just chase it. ☝️Up if helpful.

Takes a 2x2x3 cage with a ramp. Don’t make two or less walls high - it will climb out. Better kite it on a flier or have decent hp and armor - it will catch up and hit you due to hydration buff. Remember to bring narcotics - unlike rex, spino doesn’t stay down for a very long time.

I've tamed many spinos all from the same trap, 4 stone dino gates and one large bear trap. Place three down so you can make a rectanlge out of the four, then put the large bear trap down inside of them. Shoot the spino, and run through the trap. Go to the other side and place the dino gate to finish the rectangle. Now you just need lots of narcotic arrows and lots of narcotics( boi toxin works best). I tamed 10 spinos on mobile with this method, one being level 200. But the trap works great for other gaming devices to.

Was contemplating whether to attempt gaming one of these and finally went for it. My first carnivorous animal tame. Miraculously knocked it down and tamed it to completion. While leading it back, it got stuck in some unbreakable rocks. Had to build foundations and walls before finally getting it out after about 30 mins of trying. As soon as it was free it was swarmed by jellyfish and pirhanas and died. RIP

I needed more narcotics for a level 150 dododex... i tamed it because i was near my base but some people could no be as lucky as me...

It is one of my mildly easiest all you need is a lot of narcotic and plenty of tranq arrows

WARNING: the spinos knockout decreases fast and if you don't have any more meat or narcotic on you your screwed

They are not easy to tame if you see one I recommend running if you’re a low level

Im just taming my spino, nothing big. Then i see a sarco BLAST ONTO MY SCREEN. IM HAVING A LOT OF FUN. *dies*

Take more mutton than it says mine said 33 took like 40

70% more likely to find high level spinos in the volcanos ponds. 20% more likely to find a 150 spino the ponds. Basically.. hit the volcano for a decent spino.

I used 5 stone dino gates to trap them (they don't damage stone structures) I also managed to trap a 140 and 150 next to one another, so it definitely works.

The tamin effectiveness and the length you need to wait until it tames is no longer even remotely accurate. I was taking a lvl 140 last night, 2:54:00 until he is starved it says, so I wait the 3 hours and put in my mutton, it only takes it to 50% where it it supposed to be 100% and the taming effectiveness was significantly lower already than it should have been. Fact- Mutton Taming Time/Effectivness= Broken

A Spino loses torpor VERY quickly after being knocked out. Remember that torpor doesn't drop when it's rising after a narcotic is fed, so gradually feed it narcotics - dont spam 30 and then walk away. You'll go farther on less drugs.

To tame i suggest that you make a trap and us trank darts and make sure to keep checking on it

Shoot with tranqs and use tree's to obstruct his chase try to make him turn in the tree's works like a charm just don't get to close and if you can put wild dino in between you and the spino

Go on a hill and tranq it maintain it’s torpor so it does not wake up use you food of choice raw fish meat,raw prime fish meat,kibble

On mobile they spwan around rivers and in rivers and occasionally the swamp or swamp red woods border now they are fast so a trap is recommended put a bunch of stone foundations and then stone doorframes all around stacked up on each other put 4 of them stacked for each side and then 2 wooden ramps lure the spino in and get out though a little gap enough for a player to get though then tranq it out prime fish works best but prime meat will work too it will just take a bit longer and bring around 100 bio toxin or narcotics then wait a bit and you got a spino

DO NOT LISTEN TO PEOPLE THAT SAY THIS IS EASY TO TAME these guys are fast and dangerous I tried taming one without a trap with tranq arrows and just kept running around if you plan on taming it without tranq darts use a trap
