How do I tame a spinosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a spinosaurus.
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 👍👍👍👍
Use a trap at least 3 walls high ( no windows or doorframes instead of walls). Its torpor run comes quick and takes him to hell and not back. Don’t knock him in water because it drowns.
Another good way to tame a spino is to bring a lot narcotics, 20 exceptional kibble (To tame more if needed), and a flying tame that you can shoot off of(I use wyvs), I'm not sure how many tranq darts but bring 100 to 200, from there on you will be ready, I hope it works for you!
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
I was taming a spino but then the bad thing is after I brought 258 narcotics and 57 prime meat and 190 raw meat then I put I on the spino then it got nighttime then I went back in to my house with my argy after I woke up I came back to it the worst problem was an another spino was nearby I tryed to kill it but it's on max lvl-300 so that's why you must put those spike walls thingys around it
So i am a level 33 and i tamed a spino
Where to find:
It spawns near the beach or near the river
Requirement's:
You dont need an flyer you only need to be prepared you 20-30 Tranq arrows and like 20-30 bio toxins the narcotics are not forced to use and you dont need to trap it if is a low level
How to tame:
You need to find I recommend a level 3 go and tranq him if he comes towards you don't panic only run and continue shooting him when he runs away follow him and don’t let him fell in the river or the pirhanas will attack but when it on the ground protect him kill anyone in a ten meter radius because it’s a big dino so obviously it has bigger hitboxes feed raw fish and biotoxin and should be your
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 :)
Who said you need trap for these boys?
First, get tranq darts and biotoxin (their torpor sucks). Then, get a Tapejara/ Raptor/ Equus so you can shot while you are on the saddle. They will run away after you shoot them some times so chase them. One knocked it out make sure to check on the torpor level so you don't lose it. Then, name it Pookie.
You don't need traps if you are fast and more intelligent than them🍷
I've seen alot of people actually seeing these in the spawn area too (or near them)
As you always ahould be, just carry a bunch of tranq darts with you and climb a high enough rock, then you can put it to sleep easily.
I usually see like 47 of these guys strolling around the beach slapping everyone, so uhh… just grab a ramshackle crossbow with toxicants in and try not to get slapped yourself.
It's quite hard to tame of these bad boys, unless you know how to do it. Spinos get distracted EXTREMELY easily, even a coel will make them stop chasing you, so by FAR the best way to tame them is to trap them. Use 3x3 stone foundations. then build 12 doorframes on each side as walls, and put a ramp big enough for the spino to walk on. You know, the classic trap. Kite them into it(the have a big turning raidos on all 4, so take note of it) and then trap them. They are quite fast so use something fast too, like an argy or ptero. Then, once trapped, knock em out with tranq darts, and give them exceptional (or argy kibble on mobile) kibble, if u can't get that use raw prime fish meat. Once tamed (it will take a while, get at least 300 narcos, even if ur using kibble) and once tamed, slap a saddle on it and ur good to go!
All you need is a good bow (I used ascendant)and tranq arrows,find a low spino level and shoot it.I managed to tame one at level 25 (fyi I’m on easy mode on different modes do this at your own peril)
I want to tame spino level one but i don't have the saddle
dude it's so easy to tame these powerful dinos just get on a cliff or high rocks where they can hit u then tranq arrow their faces I did it in no time if u want turn up the tame right so u dont wait hours taming lol I used narcotics and bio toxic and I am pretty new at the game try to get low level ones bc it's easier and u can level it up overtime by killing low stuff plus at decent levels ot can take out t rex no problem
I just build a trap close by a spino if i see one and its high level then trap it and tame it . DONE
If you are trying to tame a Spinosaurus and you can’t do don’t want to build a trap try using green obelisk it worked well for me. But of course when I do it I hit my level 120 right after it goes down
I knocked one out and I went to my base to get the kibble when I came back the spino was gone I knocked it out near a mountain so it could be easy to find but it was gone any tips on why that happens?
Best way I think is to trap them in a box,make sure that the walls are at least 3 high because they will climb out!!also loads of narcotics or narcoberries,they lose torpor almost as fast as Dimetrodons.
The best thing to find one is flying over the river randomly. if you found one make sure he cant hit you (go on a boulder or on a cliff) and shoot at him with tranq arrows. If he is unconsious just put prime or normal meat in him and make sure you have enough narcotic (i tamed a level 50 first and it needed about 200) and if you are escorting him into your base do NOT attack any strong dinos he cant handle it if its a level 100 or less spino that does not mean its weak but you have to level him a bit before killing strong dinos (the spino level 50 got 22 level with the taming bonus and he died at escorting him to my base from a therizino btw that was 30 mins ago now im mad at this game, it was my first spino)
To tame a spino you should have around 100 tranq arrows and 120 narcotic for a level 140.
Good luck taming one
