How To Trap Your Spino

a comprehensive guide on how to make a stupid lil cage for your megametrodon.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

16x stone foundation

48x stone doorway

12x wooden ramp

1x crossbow

30-70x tranq arrows (may take less or more depending on level)

now that youre all readied up, find your ideal spino!

i recommend searching in south zone 1, as it has a guaranteed spino spawn. they are also common in river deltas / streams near the beach. if you cant find any, kill some fish as they share a spawn.

now, how to build a trap.

step 1: place your stone foundations in a 4x4 on the ground

step 2: place your doorways in rows of 3 on each side of the trap (kinda like a carno trap).

step 3: place your wooden ramps in rows of 3 on whichever side you see fit.

now that your trap is set down, lure over your spino! preferably use a flyer, although you can also lure them over with your crossbow.

now that theyre in your trap, pump a truckload of tranqs into them until they fall asleep!

their torpor falls relatively quickly, so i suggest loading up on narcotics to feed them. the easiest and most efficient way to feed them is with raw prime fish meat, however if you have expectional kibble or raw mutton then those 2 work better.

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

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

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

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

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🍷

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!

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

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)

On mobile, when I was new and low level but wanted to tame spinos - I used to bring in some life bait to the spinos to distract it from attacking me (tamed carbos and parasaurs with high health, around 800 or 1200) or let it aggro a wild Dino for a bit, and when it focuses on the Dino bait, I hop to a safe distance and tranq it until it was knocked out. It took me at least 10-30 tranq arrows.

I just give it raw fish, and when taming it took too much time and the torpor bar starts draining fast I give it some narcotics or bio toxin I get from killing nearby cnidarias (at least 60 narcotics or 30+ bio toxins) then just wait.

Kept doing it until I have like 4 spinos run after runs.

The spinos often spawn on the coasts and beaches in the footpaw region which is where I usually found them. Sometimes they do spawn in the river near the volcano and the waterfall and rivers in the redwood forest.

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 :)
