What is a spinosaurus used for? spinosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Dwarfing all but the largest creatures, Spinosaurus is the terror of the land and the water. A spinosaurus is the unrivaled all terrain animal, combing land power with naval abilities. Although it has less HP and damage than the Rex, Spinosaurus makes up for that with a higher attack rate and wider AoE. Pump HP, stamina, damage and a bit of speed for an unstoppable war machine.
Umm so I got a spino from pure hard work and he was a low lvl which makes sense because I was about lvl 55 or something like that . So I was just killing stuff and found some piranha and I told my spino to kill them . There was about 4 of them and my spino had like 1500 hp left . I looked away for like 5 seconds and when turned around he was just taking a nap as I got closer to him I found out he just wanted to take an eternal nap and guess who had the medicine, the piranhas did
Yup that right four piranha which were 2-5 lvl killed a spino which had like 1500 hp left in the water
It’s been like 9 months or maybe even more and I still can’t find the answer ,no player could kill it because it was single player
I LOVE spinos so much. Better than rexes because: they are faster( 4 legs is faster than 2); they are stronger when they are on 2 legs, slower, but stronger, with a damage buff when you are in water; they look cooler; and although a rexes roar may be louder, spinos can roar too! These guys are great tames(I have five of them and still counting)
Yall, I just learned that Spinos are immune to Cnidarias shocks. They don't get stunned, they still fight. But the effects are, they are slower until Cnidarias shocks wear off. It just happened to Rexy, my OP Spino. A Cnidaria schocked her, but she didn't get stunned. She was just really slow on land when she finished all Cnidarias off.
I was really suprised, because most of my tames were stunned when Cnidarias shock them, unlike Rexy, who withstood the shock, and fought back. This is one of the spino's abilities. -TinaZ
The spinosaurus is a piscivore, meaning it eats primarily fish (not pie..), and to tame it, it prefers fish meat and prime fish meat over regular meat. The Spinosaurus is able to change how it stands, going from four feet to being bipedal. Whilst it is bipedal, it is slightly slower, but attacks in an area around it, attacks slightly faster, and may do slightly more damage. Whilst on four feet, it is much, much faster, faster than nearly anything else, but has less of an attack range and area. When in water, it will gain a “Hydration Buff Enabled” buff, which will last for a good thirty seconds out of water. This buff drastically increases its movement speed, at least by fifty percent, making it even faster than a gallimimus whilst on four legs, and increasing its attack power. It attacks at a decently fast speed, and its swipe attacks have a large area further than its arms, along with applying a large deal of knockback to anything in the range. It has high health, weight, and oxygen, but its stamina drains quickly when running whilst not affected by the Hydration Buff, so you should mind your stamina and your sprinting, so that you don’t get exhausted. For the cementing paste, especially with mastercraft and journeyman recipes, with my journeyman spino saddle’s blueprint cementing paste cost of 297, I would suggest first getting a high-tier axe or hatchet, possibly mastercraft, and also a primitive crossbow, a simply shotgun, and ammo for both, and head to the Artifact of the Massive’s cave, the lava cave on the Eastern edge of Drayo’s Cove, and use the crossbow at a far distance to ago Pulminoscorpius and Araneo to you, and kill them with the shotgun, and harvest their chitin with a hatchet to make cementing paste. Spinosaurus can be found near the river next to the Hidden Lake in the Northern regions, nearby the Redwoods. I found two females there yesterday, and they seemed to have no threats to themselves in the near area. They can be knocked out with tranq arrows, as I did with mine, and can hold their own in battle. Either way, I hope that this has helped. From.: OMEGA, Hunter of Shadows..
