before you think about taming these things recommended Using a trap because some people really think a 10 pillar tall thing not its not a good idea since the spino will run away. after you almost have it. and this thing is wayy faster than you think so either use a Trap or if your on gen2 don’t use a trap since you Can LITERALLY Fly and TRANQ it

Warning: these things are super slick and slippery! They will manage to avoid your trap many times!

I love spinous soooo much they are my favourite dinosaur in ark I recommend getting high up and shooting it with a long neck rifle and trank darts

Honestly, these things seem content to attack anything and everything. I just tamed one without it landing a single hit on me, and I was standing STILL. (...on the back of my Rex so I had a height advantage to my tranq dart range. And protection just in case.) All I did was stand there firing my darts. She came towards me, but then got distracted to kill a Dilo. By the time she'd snaked her way round to me, she was so high on torpor that she turned and started to flee, not before I stuck a couple more in her and finished the job, though.

If you want to tame a Spino, use a typical 4x4 trap, and if possible, lure it with a Pteranodon or Argentavis and put it in the trap. You can probably use a tranquilizer arrow, but tranquilizer bullets are more effective. Once you put it to sleep, put meat, marbled meat, fish meat, otoro, and kibble in your inventory. You can also get food locally. The unlock level for the saddle is 71.

This is for all those who think Spinos can breathe underwater. They cannot, you should be aware of it knocking out in water.

Just be on a semi water Dino like a Sacco and just shoot it full of tranqs it will knock out in no time at all

This is a way to tame a spino. If you click on it then you will guaranteed find a way to successfully knock out and tame a spino.

Me and my friend came across one of these in our aberration server and we wanted to tame it but we’re were nowhere near strong enough to tranq it to death without extra protection. And our luck was great and it was busy attacking things beside a river. We had built our hut farther upstream and had a raft. Being the ignorants we are we spent an hour trying to figure out how to tame the thing and then my friend came up with an idea. So we basically reinforced our entire raft with stone walls, foundations, and ceilings. We put windows in the walls that way we could shoot it without being totally open. We eventually knocked it unconscious and fed it raw fish and regular meat along with about two raw prime meat as well. We kept it knocked out by force feeding it narcoberries and then we tamed it and named it Spencer.

Spinos’ tame with fish meat faster than normal prime meat should’ve used prime fish

Don't try to quick whistle while standing on them, it'll make your tames attack the spino, whoopsie!

How to tame a spino

Step 1 get tranqs lots if your trying to tame a high level

Step 2 get prime meat or prime fish meat and naracotics these guys topper drains fast

Step 4 if your the right level give it the saddle

Step 5 wait for it to tame and surround him in spike walls for protection

Step 6 name him

And boom if you want for me too do rex 20 likes for rex hope it helped

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)

How can you knockout or kill this MONSTAH coz its been eating all of my livestock and destroying me farm

These beasts run very fast and I found a cheaper trap for it. 5x5 stone foundation with 4 walls high and ramps works on trappin' it, however, it's hard to get it in so ready your bird to take a beating.

You see spinos are great to kill bosses even without it's buff but a rex need a yutyranus while a spin doesnt bec even if it doesnt have a buff it still stronger than a rex plus I had fought a level 100 alpha rex with a level 75 spino and still win and had about 1k health left!

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

I got two Spinos and that too at level 28. You just have to find a space between two rocks where you can easily pass but Spinos could

It's harder than it sounds but it works for me.

I constructed a 3x3x3 stone doorway trap with wooden ramps to give him something to whack at while I pumped him full of tranqs.

I tamed a lvl 300 with cooked meat,wheres my prize

Love&Power here… I got that spino.😎 she’s level 210, and an absolute beast. Early game made easy.
