Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a spinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a spinosaurus.
If you wanna knock out a spin-off don’t use bolas. I found out the hard way.😂
Don’t be afraid I was paranoid of them but my tame took 30 minutes and was super easy and he was worth it he was Lel 1 but that’s how I operate
Multiplayer tip, this works well! How tame a low level, easy as taming a dodo almost.
Step 1: Have a pteranodon with good stamina.
Step 2: Scout the area for a spino (any level).
Step 3: Carry your tribe-mate to spino (keep your distance in the air)
Step 4: Have your friend tranq it.
Step 5: Use soothing balm/starve tame.
Easy tame, somehow.
These thing are stronger then a red and a Lot of the time more common than a Rex. It also gets a water buff. 1 👆 = one prayer to my passive spino’s death to a megalodon.
To the person who said: “they are easier to tame then a Rex!!!!!111!!”
They are not easier to tame then a Rex your out of your freaking mind
SPINOS HAVE O2 STAT!!
Dropped a lvl 100 on shore and he ran towards the water and passed out there
I thought they can breath under water but she drowned on me.
DOMT KNOCK THEM OUT IN WATER THEY ARE NOT LIKE BARYONYX
stand on a high cliff and shoot it or keep shootong it and running away on a raptor until it's knocked out. it gets distracted very easly by fish, sharks and manta's (even while chasing you) so you may want to shoot it while it's distracted.
You see spinos are great to kill bosses even without it's buff but a rex need a yutyranus while a spin doesnt bec even if it doesnt have a buff it still stronger than a rex plus I had fought a level 100 alpha rex with a level 75 spino and still win and had about 1k health left!
Make ten ston pillar and ten ladders, go on top then tranq it, easiest than ever. Try getting it to the shores coz there is less raptors to interrupt, got my first spino but gotta wait a lot of time before i get a saddle ahh pain. Stay out of cniderias in water coz theyll bum you off the saddle which us worst, also in low lvl, you can tame a baryonyx whome is brother of spino and can be unstoppable in water with stun
To knock out ma boe if it is at least 25 level you can traq it easily with a crossbow. Please up this!
I knocked out one on mobile, rubbed some soothing balm on it, left to get prime meat and it was killed by a meganuera.
If you want to tame one you have found the right guy so here is how do it get on a cliff because these things are massive so no rock shall do then shoot it with normal arrows then when he starts running start loading tranqs on him till he’s knocked out tranq arrows will do because they have quite low torpor then feed him fish/prime fish meat you will need a few not too many narcotics/ bio toxins then you got your self a spino. like if this helped
I read all the tips, and even though I'm a newbie to ark the methods of taming the spino I've seen are pretty.. Inefficient
I just downloaded dododex
I tamed a spino at lvl 26 using a raft, wooden structures such as wall, foundation, roof and door etc on the raft.
You can find spinos, (on mobile as far as I know) between 40-50 LON, and 70-80 LAT, just look on your map.
Now taming them is relatively easier and less resource consuming than the other methods. I used this method as an uncultured and unknowledged swine and it worked. Spinos often spawn near water so build a raft and house on top of the raft, build a bow or crossbow, or the bow you get from dilo hunt persuit, once you see a spino position the raft so that you can peek out your door and shoot arrows, agro it with an arrow then drive the raft again luring it to land so that you don't tame it in water.. Lol
Stay inside the house you built on the raft while spamming tranq arrows on it (they will often circle the raft so just wait for them to pass by the Door, when they run just chase and keep shooting tranq arrows till they knock down) make sure to have at least 15-20 narcotics. Normal meat works even though it will take time. If you need more narcotics just make some more, if you have the soothing balm use it.
And then voila, you have a spino
There is a lvl 18 spino near my base. Up to tame, down to kill it.
squid killer. need black pearls? we kibbled two 135s and killed a 85 squid that night. 35 pearls per kills. necessary tame!!!
I have two ways you can use to tame tame this. One for lower levels and one for higher levels.
First what you need (based of my experience)
About 30 tranq darts (you might need more or lees depending on wich method you use (etc))
About 30 narotics
A lot of fish meat (or prime fish meat) (or kibble)
And some bio toxin
1st : the easy way. This way dosen’t require dying all the time but you can only do it if you have large bear traps. What you do is you put the bear traps a bit away for each other in a line and run up to it and then to the traps. Then shoot it with tranq darts. If you don’t knock it out let it chase you to the next bear trap and tranq it again. It took me about 30 tranq darts (I missed some). Then feed it prime fish meat (or normal but normal takes longer) or you can do it the 2nd way
2nd way; This is for lower levels who have a bow and tranq arrows but not a bear trap. What you do is :
.shoot from distance with tranq arrows and run and shoot. If you die go back and continue shooting and running. When you knock it out put fish meat in it’s inventory (might take a while) and don’t forget the narotics!.
Tip:
I recommend you use bio toxin.

I tamed a lv 116 whith just a long neck and darts on foot they aren't as hard to tame as people say.
These guys will be your best friend.
I am not joking.
I play mobile, single player, and I have one named Butch, tamed him when I was at level 20 something and him level 17 I believe, he’s now level 43 and the only place he doesn’t go with me is underwater and caves.
Do no be scared grabbing one, I was terrified taming Butch, but in all honesty he wasn’t that bad, I was just paranoid. While narcotics are good to use, I find biotoxin even better and it easily knocks a spino nearly back to full tempor.
I used a crossbow and stood on a sharp cliff face, letting butch run around and kill the other animals in the water, which did actually distract him long enough to knock him right out. I highly suggest trying to grab one in the easier areas, mine being from the Long: 40 Lat: 80 area. Here you can easily get biotoxin too, as the jellies spawn in the area pretty frequently, it being a low level area and they’re easy to get to with a crossbow!
Happy taming fellow survivors, good luck!
They drown if knocked out in water :(
Taming a spino might seem hard at lvl 29, but it ain’t. Get 20-40 tranq arrows, a bow that doesn’t deal too much damage, and a butt load of fish meat. Shoot the spino at a long range, then when it closes in shoot it more, that will minimize how much damage you take. Once you have it down, keep a very close watch on it cuz spinos are very fast at losing torpor, use bio toxin as a narcotic, it won’t do damage and its effective.
This method had me tame 3 spinos in a day at lvl 29-31
