Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a spinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a spinosaurus.
So if you want to tame it and your low level, go up high. If you can't go high (like for me lol) then get flak armor. Full set is 500 armor (even alpha raptor and therizino can't deal a lot of dmg to you with that armor)! So I see one and I went on a rock (I was scared and was far away so I often use rocks as extra range not safety). It came to me and kept moving to the point I kept missing my shots! I called mine dodger (you know why now lol). Since I had my armor though I was safe. I'm gonna test chitin armor and see how that goes wish me luck lol.
I've tamed two of these and to knock it out shoot on land from a far distance. Best all around dino I've found
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
Two ways to tame spino (especially on aberration)
Make a basic stone trap, 3x3 or 3x4 foundation, at least 3 door frames high and a wooden ramp.
Aggro him and run him up ramp
Make a bed near by if not fast enough
(I have 190% movement speed on official for reference so you might need to be close to trap to run him in)
Then knock him out, cryo him or demo door frames and enjoy your spino!
Another way to do it is(but not as reusable) is 3-4 stone dino gates and a bear trap.
For 3 gates, position the first two in kind of a wide triangle, put the bear trap right between them, run spino in and trap him in with last gate
For 4 gates, position them in a square, put bear trap, run spino in and trap him in with last gate
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
I tamed one of these and they are godly a lvl 5 killed a therizinosaurus without taking any damage
Cool new way to regen a Dino’s health if it wakes up!- so I was taming a max spino on rag and it woke up as I was getting prime :p. So because I used my horse it’s health was to annoyingly too low to knock out again and this thought came to mind, will it regen faster if I give it a corpse? Keep in mind this spino had 3200 max health and was only at 300. I killed a Barry and it amazingly regenerated all its health! Now, idk if this works with other corpses so try it out! Thanks for reading and have a good day :)
According to me, spino is better than rex, I am saying this because it is a beast in underwater and it is also a beast on land.
So i was flying around the map with my argi... Then saw three spinos (not together but close to each other like 200m or something) at the redwood forest river... Female 95 female 25 and female 10 i killed the 2 lower ones they spawned again... Same gender and level... Did this like 5 times... How can i fix that lol i want to have a high lvl male to breed him with the female 95
The amount of tranq darts listed is very wrong.
This is for all those who think Spinos can breathe underwater. They cannot, you should be aware of it knocking out in water.
Find a low level spino and spam your tranqdarts with the crossbow and make sure you have good movement speed, then you don't necessarily need a trap.
If you can’t trap it, find a way to stand on a cliff or something and shoot down at it until it runs away, then follow it. (Little something for those who don’t wanna try to lure it into a trap like me)
Harder to tame than a Rex. It’s torpor is lower but drops much faster, and it’s faster and hardest to hit. They’re also rarer and get killed more often
For taming use 1 behemoth gate and 2 Dino gates, lead them through behemoth gate and close gate, form a triangle with the gates.
I constructed a 3x3x3 stone doorway trap with wooden ramps to give him something to whack at while I pumped him full of tranqs.
Bear trap + Tranq arrows. Congratulation, you
Killed a spino
Okay so, I have a spino egg. I don’t know the BEST way to hatch it. Does anyone have any tips to help me out with?
Find big tall rock or make a trap or use a fast dino to use weapon just shoot the spino with tranq arrow or tranq dart until its knock out use so many narcotic or just use soothing balm to tame faster use narcotic if you don't have balm because spino torpor drop really fast and use prime fish meat to tame faster
Spinos’ tame with fish meat faster than normal prime meat should’ve used prime fish
