How do I tame a spinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a spinosaurus.
It's very easy to tame a spino even if your low level
First- get a carbonymes and make it like 2k hp the find the spino you want to team but it has to be like level 10 or low then make your Dino target it in the mean time you spam tanqr arrows on it after some time it will run just chase it and hit it like 2 or 3 more times and it will be knocked out give it the 10 x smoothing blam and put like 10 meat in it and there you got your self a easy spino
Hi everyone this is how I tamed the spino in singleplayer ( I am level 80 something)
What you need:
your gonna need a Diplodocus and a Diplodocus saddle and pump the Diplodocus into HEALTH so it doesent die. Also get a Longneck rifle and tranq darts. (Optional) Use dododex and select the spinos level and see the amount of tranq darts it will take to knock out. Also bring like 90 narcotics or more OR a lot of bio toxin ( dododex will give details about how much it will need, and put its level in before checking )
Instructions
Now set your diplo to Neutral and get in passenger seat in front of spino, command it to attack spino or aggro it ( stay in one of the back passenger seats so the diplo keeps aggroing the spino before it hits you ) and start using tranquilizers darts on it. once the spino starts running dismount and chase and shoot it until it falls asleep ( dismount because diplos are slow ) and bring prime meat or kibble or use( raw fish or raw meat if you bring more bio toxin or narcotics since they tame slower and decrease effectiveness ) and wait for tame
IMPORTANT: DO NOT LET ANY AGGRESSIVE DINOS ATTACK THE SPINO OR GET NEAR IT, IT CAN RUIN EFFECTIVNESS.
If your still reading you can stop now thats all i have. Heres a story. A ichthyornis ruined my spinos effectiveness and I sacraficed it the end.

To tame:
1. Find spino
2. Hit it
3. Run
Trick it to attack a Long neck shoot it with Tranks till it goes unconscious use the meat from the long neck to tame it.
Step 1:raged all day look of one
Step 2:have a shot 100 tranquilizeing darts
Step 3:take the lives of fish’s
Step 4: feed the spino the fish and if it going to wake up give it narcotics.
Step 5: have a good friend to make you a spino satled.
Spino is better than Rex, but the problem is Spino is much harder to tame compared to Rex, Spino is really fast on both land and water making it harder to catch, while Rex isnt that fast. Spino's torpor also decreases faster than Rex.
But that doesn't mean Rex is Better
Spinos don't have much torpidaty so make sure you have a lot of narcotics but it does depend on the level
Get to level thirty go on a tapejara if u have one or a big rock start shooting it with 35 tank arrows and u only need like 20 bio toxins wait and boom u got a spino
To tame a spino there are 3 Easy steps
1:get on high cliff with spino at bottom of it make sure it’s high up enough that it can’t hit you trust me based on my experience
2:make sure you halve at least 20 tranq arrows if using bow I suggest a bow the most though
3:get smoothing balm that helps a lot and balm or not use raw prime or normal fish but if you only have fish you should have at least 30 narcotics just in case
4:once tamed treat well always have fish in there inventory and just love you’re spino
Spinos are very slow on ground but very fast on beaches use this weak to tame it.

If you’re looking to tame a spinal, here’s a tip do not tame it in the water it will become a demon so take it on the box he get when he’s in the water is more more damage

5.destroy the island (hope to not find giga😬😬😬😰)( when you do…😳😳😳😳😳👎👎👎😭)🎵not my problem that just not my problem🎵
Warning, spinos can drown, so don't knock them out in water... found out the hard way...
Undoubtedly one of the most useful Dinos in Ark. Level these up, breed them, and you're unstoppable. I would choose them over Rex any day. I have about fifty (not too many at all) and I can recommend the best way I have found to tame them:
First, locate them. They spawn on beaches sometimes but I recommend going deeper into freshwater waterways. Swamps are best.
Next, equip yourself with a bow and tranq arrows. I recommend being on a flying mount. That’s the safest and most effective way to knock the spino out. Argys are best because they’re fast and can maneuver quite well in the sky. Bring at least 50 tranqs just to be safe. Clear out the area around the spino before tranquillizing so nothing tries to kill him while he’s asleep.
Divebomb the spino with tranqs a few times, and, once he’s out, feed him raw prime fish meat, which is quite easy to find, or exceptional kibble. You only need to tame two, and I recommend, if you want more, (which you probably will) just breed them.
If you’re wondering if this fun little escapade is worth it, it most certainly is! Spinos are incredibly useful harvesting and combat mounts that are exceptional in both water and on land. Best of luck with taming!
I took 15 - 20 tranq arrows and a big a*s rock and tamed this bas*ard that killed my pterodactyl
