For mobile players, here’s what you gotta do.
A spino requires a bunch of narcotics while it’s knocked out, not to mention the amount of trank arrows you’re gonna need. So get to grinding some narcotics and tranks on your herb mount.
Next we have to think about food, I think cooked meat will be enough for your hunger, but for the spino, they prefer argy kibble (cooking pot: one water skin,mejoberries,fiber,citronal, prime meat jerky,argy egg). A level 280 spino took me 3 kibble to tame, despite Dodo dex telling me I needed 4. The easiest way to get kibble is to just get a cooking bench from the amber store. But if you don’t have amber, or you’re in early game and can’t get argy eggs, prime meat will work alright.
For the knocking out you will require a trap, even if you aren’t in early game, the spino starts running when it’s on low health/torpor running. And most of the times you won’t be able to catch up.4 Stone gateways placed like this

__. Should do the trick(might not be visible). Just make it so that one of the gates isn’t placed yet since the spino will actually need to walk INTO the trap first.
If you’re on single player just save it manually before attempting this since it might not work the first time.
If you’re on multiplayer, just set up a bunch of sleeping bags(or a bed) where your area is.
Get the spinos attention and start RUNNING this thing is super fast and unless your trap is really near or you have a flying mount, there is no way you’re outrunning it. Once it’s in the trap, make sure it agros on to it, you’ll know it does this when it turns its head to look at the trap and starts trying to hit it, quickly go behind it and place the gateway quickly.
Now for the knocking out part, crossbows and long necks work best but if you don’t have any of those you can use a bow, just make sure to have the materials to repair it.
Once it’s knocked out make sure you have all those narcotics you grinded for, because at the rate this think needs narcotics, it might as well be on the taming chart for #1 favorite food.
After that just wait a bit and BOOM, you have a new tame!
Guys I dont know how to tame it I kinda new
I recommend using a triceratops to farm narcoberries to keep it asleep
To knock it out make a wooden box made out of door thing without placing the doors,make a ramp made out of wood on whatever side you want,shoot it go over the ramp while it's following you go through the door thing and trap it
I recommend using crossbow and tranq arrows
Tutorial how to tame a low level spino:
1) find low lvl spino
2) Shoot it with tranq arrows
3) Now it starts running
4) Give up because it's hella faster than sonic the hedgehog
I think I hit it like 9 times with tranq arrows with crossboww it's level 8 so ye I have a strong a$$ tame
They are too much easy to tame I already tame it on lvl 27
1.use tranq arrow, and need of crossbow, you need only 20-40 tranq arrow
2. Find it, they are mostly along the river
3. Unconscious it, then use soothing balm and narcotics,biotoxin to handle it's torpor
4. Feed him raw prime meat or kibble to tame faster
5. Then name it.
I would say the easiest way to tame them is just put prime meat in the inventory and narcotics and force feed them narcotics so they stay asleep sincerely,

How to tame a Spinosaurus easily:-
S1: To find a Spinosaurus, go to rivers (mainly the rivers near the Redwoods).
S2: Options:-
1 Clear out the area if you think anything could trouble you while taming it and if you have a quick mount, knock it out that way.
2 Or build atleast pillars which are 12-14 times higher and knock it out that way.
3 If both of them are risky, build 15-20 fence foundations and stone walls of atleast 3-4 times high and finally finish it with ramps and knock it out with that way.
S3: Knock it out with either tranquilizer darts and a long rifle or tranq arrows and a crossbow.
S4: Feed it Argentavis Kibble (Old ARK Mobile only), Exceptional Kibble, Raw prime fish meat or Raw fish meat.
S5: You have a Spinosaurus :D
Facts:-
F1: It's saddle unlocks on lvl 71.
F2: It is quite quick in water as well as land.
F3: It also has an untameable version in Extinction which is Corrupted Spinosaurus.
F4: When in water, it has a Hydrated buff which increases it's damage and resistance.
It took a long time writing this :)
These guys are rlly hard to KO without a trap because they LIGIT will not stay on a single target. If they see something that they will Argo on they will turn around no questions asked, which is kinda rlly annoying when you’re tryna knock ‘em out.
Got my first spino pretty easy with my heart pounding after witnessing the havoc it can wreck..I laid a couple of large bear traps and lured it into them the shot it with tranq darts...and fed it with narcotics and fish meat..I am currently terrorizing my area with the spino and two baryonyx
Be careful this things torpor burns like tissue paper
It’s quicker with prime fish meat than kibble easy getting The prime fish meat just hop on an ichthy and scrape da meat
I got mine from hopping on beefed sarco shot it with tranq arrows on crossbow and with about 16-20 it was tamable so then throw prime or regular fish meat and should go easy as long as you have at least 30-45 narcotic or 15-20 biotoxin with you
For some reason I can easily tame this but not a beelzebufo 💀 anyways you will need:
Flying mount
Tranq stuff
High ground
You need to find something like a cliff and shoot it from there.
These water doggies are VERY strong and can deal tons of damage. I once Single handedly went on isle of DEATH with these puppers. However, on Mobile, ALWAYS bring soothing balms! They help a lot.
They are easier to knock then you think set a trap or get on a hill we’re he can’t get you and then use trank arrows or darts around 30 depends on the level tho then when you knock it put fish meat in its inventory if you don’t want to use prime meat put bio toxin from jellyfish in as well and feed to the spino every time he gets low on the knocked bar also kill preadotors in the area have fun with your spino :)
My spino candy was my best friend R.I.P candy 😭😭😭. You should get a spino they are great good luck on ark and I hope you find your dream pets! 😉😉😉😉 if you like this pls up it so more peeps see how great pets are. Tysm once again 👍👍👍👍
