Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a spinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a spinosaurus.
These guys are op.Pratically nothing stands in its way(almost) getting these early game is incredible.these guys are way to fast for a giant lizard which makes it extremely hard to shoot at.If one starts to run away do not chase it down, unless you know it's running away because of torpor.In my opinion these are better than the rex but harder to tame BC of movement speed.
you can just get 3 stone dinosaur gate and an trap to tame it i finded an 300 lvl one when i was taming an 270 lvl rex im only lvl 62 so i killed spino and his implant i gotted my darts and now gonna revive and tame it wish me luck he is so beautiful
Tamed one in a trap *they don't fit through regular dinosaur gateways* it was level 1 so it was not the best spino tame but if you guys want the recipe it'd be:
16 stone foundation (spinos cannot damage stone)
8 tall stone walls *or 32 regular stone walls*
Place wall every other space, to gat a slotted trap with a foundation length space between each
Make 1 stone wall as short as a regular one
Lead through trap and enjoy tame!
*Lvl.1 spino requires about 10-15 tranq darts
Okay so it was actually such a easy tame for me, I just stood on top of a cliff and showered it with tranq arrows so it didn’t get to hit me
Butttttt then again it was only a level 10 so it’s usually harder than that
I find that they always spawn by freaking Carnos so be careful!!!
Trap one in 3 Dino gateways and 2 gates.use tranq darts to knock out and feed it. Hope you enjoy your new friend
So when u wanna tame these guys u get on a very tall rock near them and shoot them very fast with tranq arrows until they run away and u follow it and keep shooting it till it go sleep and u put fish meat in inventory to tame, and if anything come to kill it u smack then so hard that their teeth fall out until it dies. (BRING SO MUCH NARCOTICS)
When taming a spino make sure you bring at least a 100 or 200 norcotics because they tend to wake up quickly and also make sure you are on a higher ground because spinos can't climb steep hills..then you can knock it out with tranq arrows....
For a low level spino get full chitin armour and tank with a crossbow.
Multiple tranq arrows...try around 20 and a mastercraft bow or along the lines...Taming Balm, prime meat, and at least 10 narcotics just in case...(It was done on a lev 1 spino...so...)
If your using a cage use a turtle to attack it then whistle back the spino will attack the turtle but the turtle should lure it close enough to knock it. Used this method to get a male spino to make a high level breading pair raising child right now
Watch the torpor level when taming!!! Dodoex can be wrong sometimes!!!
I shot it with about 20 traq arrows, but my argy was distracting it. So my tip is to find a high and almost unclimbable rock that is tall so you can just shower that beast with arrows. Beware spinos are really fast, so you can run from it
Get a stego or any other high hp Dino if you’re taming low lvl spino and use it as shield
3 metal Dino gates placed before hand (no doors on them) with 3 bear traps in the middle aggro the spino then lead it through the gates place a 4th gate while it's stuck then you're free to tranq , wait till the "tranq used" notification disappears to tranq again to perfect tame
The rex has a tek saddle where is the spinos
If you tranq it in water it will take a while for it to drown so you can tame it in the water unlike other dinosaurs
They take a lot of darts and rub around like crazy so you do need a pen probably the giga trap
To the person who said use a 3x3 stone trap, I used a 4x4 and it didn’t work.
Easiest to find when you are not looking for it.
taming this guys are ez you just need 100 trang arrows and a crossbow and a grabbling hook shoot the grabbling hook on a mountain and just shoot the hell of it
