Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a spinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a spinosaurus.
For KOs
, get a tapejara and cling onto a cliff then tranq the flipping hell out of them.
Don’t use this app for taming Spinos it is wrong and a waist of time
Agrro it with a pteradon fly to a high area and spam tranq arrows until it passes out, it loses torpidity Quickly, I needed 40 bio toxin to tame a level 5 in west 1 on the island.
Get a bird get to a high place and shoot it
Raw prime fish is better than raw mutton
Sit on a rock and shoot it with tranqs. Aggro it with a gun first tho
Use a griffin ppl use a griffin
They get distracted by EVERYTHING, so use that to your advantage, though it can be incredibly annoying when you try to kite them to a cliff.
I’ve found that the best method are tranq darts, the reload time on longnecks allows the over time effect to work most efficiently. Take a tapejara or pteranodon to a cliff and either sit on top of or latch onto a cliff, then go to town on it. Works best in one of those little river valleys, block off either side so it can’t run.
Knock them out when you are behind them.
they are geeat tames however dododex's timer is a bit of so whait a bit longer than the timer says
To tame a Spino I placed down 3 large bear traps, it easily got stuck and by the time it got out it was torpor running. I easily knocked it out but I must warn you bring A LOT if narcotics mine was only level 4 and it took about 90 narcotics to keep asleep. Didn't take too much meat about 6 percent for every one piece of raw meat. If you are looking to find one on the island map on ARK Survival Evolved there were two spinos near in the southern uplands where there are quite a lot of raptors. Bring bear traps, a bunch of narcotics, and some raw meat if you are looking to tame a Spinosaurus. :)
Remember don’t use raw meat. Also use tranq darts.
Place some large bear traps (~5 (depends on level)) and shoot is from a safe distance...stay close to the traps...if it‘s caught by one of them, move in position to the next trap so that it could be caught by the next one and keep shooting tranq darts or arrows...i think thats the best way for a solo tame
Good luck keeping these unconscious xD
You need at least chitin gear so you can tank about 15 hits and if you distract it by leading to the water so it attacks fish while you can tranq it unfortunately you will need a lot of narcotics
P.S: if your on IPad you get an item that boosts taming by 10x use it for spino's
Who will win the upcoming Rex vs. Spinosaurus showdown.
I solo tamed two at the same time...lucky for me the salmon run was going on and I was able to get slot of prim fish. It still took a ton of narcos it felt like all I was doing was feeding them narcos. On was lvl 75 the other was 55, not bad for a solo tame.
Divide melee percent by two to get damage. More or less.
Not a tip , just tame it and love it will all your strength, I effing love this Dino favorite mount
