What is a spinosaurus used for? spinosaurus utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Spinosaurus are excellent fishermen. They are like and all Terran vehicle. They can cover alot of open ground and a good bit of water. Not recommended for deep ocean exploits as jelly fish wil sting and stun them , they'll drown in the time it takes to wake up. They're good at clearing a path for a base and can carry alot like a T-Rex. Good at harvesting prime regular and fish meat and trophies for the obelisk.
You can still ride a Spino if you don't have a saddle yet by hopping on their tail and walking to where you want to stay. It's similar to the Sarco's "living raft" ability. Just whistle to where you want your Spino to run or swim, and they will carry you. How do I get onto their back, you ask? I make sure the front paws are higher than the rear paws so I can jump onto their spiky tail. Position yourself right, and set them to Aggressive, and you can watch one of nature's ultimate predators hunt everything around it.
While it doesn't have the raw stopping power of the giga or the health and stamina of a rex, the spino has been my preferred mount mainy due to how fast it can move, especially with the hydration buff and it's potential for being a cheap alternative for killing alphas if you don't have a high lvl rex or giga. I have killed Alpha Rexes with a Spino on numerous occasions.
