Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a spinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a spinosaurus.
Do not tame in the redwood forest took forever to get it out... I learned from experience.
Get the spin stuck on the bottom of a high cliff you may not be able too shoot it and the tranq arrow and or dart will be suspended in midair if that happens then DON JUMP YOU'LL FALL OFF
Lead one of these guys into a giant metal pen. He then proceeded to launch me over the battlement xD. Died from falling. Went back to get my stuff, but I heard the battle music. Apparently the gate closed on him after I died lmao
Build a trap for it to get stuck in and just in case build spikes (sodden or metal) around you the spam tranqs
On Mobil u can get one after u got a tannery, bird, crossbow, and bio toxin. Dont forget da kibble. Or scream Eric. The latter is harder. Or just get god consel and go to town on it
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
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
