Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a spinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a spinosaurus.
To knock out ma boe if it is at least 25 level you can traq it easily with a crossbow. Please up this!
Spino taming is easy that you dont need any trap for it just lure him/her in a large wall not an wall a land with a large area or rock which she/he cant reach you and tranq it(you can use tranq, toxicant, and trangquillizer it would actually dumb to use slignshot to knock it out)if its running is just kind of the hard part cuz they are fast which is using it will just avoid tranq dart so just use an tranq arrows if you are lucky enough that the spino gets stuck in a big mountain just use tranq darts and knocking it out and taming it is very very easy just go to an swamp kill some paracer i recomemded to kill 2-3 paracers since paracers dops 7-13 prime meats and make sure you have an 10x soothing balm then here you go you now have an spino😊 hope thi helps to the one who is struggling to tame a spino thank you so much for reading this far:)
I love these guys! I have two at my base (a male and female) and can’t wait to breed them once I unlock ac engram ( I know I’m a noob). I tamed them on mobile using the soothing balm free gift, which is kind of cheating I guess. They still give me so much peace of mind knowing that whenever I run into some tickle chicken or something, I can just call in my big guns, Spadoodle and Spinerete.
Easy to knock out as it cant destroy stone just make a raft with sone base on it and shoot it with tranq arrows from inside the base
Taming one solo.
I had a level 15 hanging too close to my base for comfort. I have never tamed one before so I am happy with this.
I made 10 stone pillars and had ladders up to the top and I used tranq darts with a longneck rifle. It took 23 darts to knock out. If you use arrows I advise making 50 for a level 15 or lower. Be aware that it’s torpidity runs out very quickly. I had 100 narcotics with me and loads more at base if needed but 100 was plenty for this level. I am still learning about kibble and things so I fed it raw fish meat which did take a lot longer.
I hope this helps!
Find one,wait for it to agro on something,shoot it with your 200 plus damage crossbow 5 times,you have a super rex
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.

If you’re low level and have a spoon near your base, try to hopefully find some trikes to deal with it. I’ve seen trikes go ham with spinos, and they come in groups, which gives them the better advantage. I watched a group of trikes deal with two spinos that were near my base and I was absolutely thrilled!
Dont be scared of the big boi . He just wants some fishies.
They easily get distracted I was trying to get one into a trap but it had to dispose of the wildlife first
If you plan on taming this, bring ALLOT extra narcotics, and when I say extra, I mean like, 100, because I had 30 bio toxin and I lost it and died because of it.
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.
Most think u can not take larger Dino's till higher levels but this is wrong if u lead a spino towards a beach it has high agro range so it will attack anything while u make ur way to a cliff then us a bow with tranq arrows to nock it out and prime meat it
I tamed one of these and they are godly a lvl 5 killed a therizinosaurus without taking any damage
Spino trap I made was 4 behemoth 1 door for behemoth 1 regular big door way in tye ground of the behemoth door way and place trap behind big door way (large trap) lead Spino in and close door and there you go you got your self a spino
First do some lava caves and get a good ascendant crossbow and then get some tranq arrows (100 is enough) get a high hp mount like baryonyx, carno and maybe a raptor. after that you need to find one and shoot it on your mount once its unconscious (i recommend u to use 10x smoothing balm that u can get by tributing the artifact of the hunter or artifact of the massive) than put some argy kibbles, prime meat or some normal meat and boom the big boy is tamed now no one can stop u (expect gigas lol)
Knocked this out using loads of tranq arrows and even more narcotics, started taming it on raw meat but it took ages, so swapped the food to fish and it flew through..
They’re stronger than the T-Rex, and easier to tame, what else can I say? Also I found one near my base, so I made a crossbow and some narcotic and tamed it easily! …… then I died her pink with potent dust

one ☝️ means one spino fan
Um so I found lvl 2 male spino like legit really close to my base
I think I should tame him, I will hv to KO him in the water according to Dododex, it takes 2 mins to tame using 10x Soothing balm, and fish meat, I only need 2 apparently. Should I trust Dododex? Or should I do a tidy save?
