About the authorKrimView all posts by Krim Taming a Spinosaurus takes a considerable amount of time, even greater than that of a Tyrannosaurus. Torpor is depleted rapidly, at just over two per second at level one, whilst its hunger is generated slowly. This requires players to constantly check on the Torpor level, unlike many other long-wait dinosaurs, as the torpor level will drop to below 50% for a level 20 Spino in around five minutes. Take care when knocking them out as well, Spinosaurs are excellent climbers and can scale cliffs or rock piles you might not consider them capable of. However, they cannot scale especially steep cliffs. And since there are usually steep cliffs around Spinosaur habitats, a good way to tranquilize it is by shooting it from the top of a cliff until it starts running away. When it does, just recklessly charge at it until it gets stuck. Once it is stuck, finish it off. Also, spinosaurs usually prioritize attacking Coelacanths over humans, even if the human is attacking it. Just try not to tranquilize it while it is being attacked by Sabertooth Salmon or Piranhas. When it is knocked out, it also loses torpor considerably fast, so be prepared with a lot of Narcotics. Given how fast its torpor drops and that torpor in all creatures cannot decrease while it is increasing, 5 Narcoberries are actually more effective against a spino than one Narcotic, since they give less torpor but over more time. If you are going to use this tactic, be prepared to have a Trike or a different dino that can farm berries quickly, since it will require hundreds of narcoberries. Force-feeding a stack of 100 narcoberries will increase its torpor by 750 over 5 minutes, meaning it will not drop in that time. Feeding multiple stacks will stack the effect. The easiest way to tame a Spino is to prepare a decent leveled Kaprosuchus, as this creature has a Stamina draining property to its attacks which makes a creature no longer be able to run, and a Spino’s walk speed is slower than even a Rex, so a Kaprosuchus is recommended if you don’t want it run away that often, or just don’t let it run at all. Spinos are easier to lure than rexes, they have a full on aggression until they get distracted by a fish or other animal. i just use tranq arrows to KO them, but if ur doing it in the open and dont have much experience then maybe darts would be safer because they have lower health. I would use spike walls because u have to spend some time watching theyre torpor. the most time u have is 20 minutes. Link to commentShare on other sitesMore sharing options...

Posted March 25, 2018 If you have a tribemate just ask him to carry you in the flyers claws and safely shoot it from above. (Having a griffin would allow you to do it solo) You can also have a tanky bear/thylo to just sit and tranq while they take the dmg or agro spin-off on a friendly passive Rex and shoot spino from the side. Hell, you can even build a taming pen with ramps and stuff to lure spino into. Link to commentShare on other sitesMore sharing options... CymasPosted March 25, 2018 Cymas

Posted March 25, 2018 Taming pens help a lot, especially for coastal spinos who might try to flee into the ocean. Otherwise try to lure the spino to a cliff or some other area where they can't reach you. Don't worry too much about the water--if it's not deep enough to swim, it's not deep enough to drown. I've tamed many a spino with their face completely underwater with no issues. Bring a lot of narcs, they need a fair amount, much more than what you would need for a rex. I have literally never killed a spino with tranq arrows so I wouldn't worry too much about those vs darts, however shocking darts do have that nice advantage of stacking so they don't get too far away when they start to run. Spinos are fast and will navigate almost all terrain so they can be tough to catch up to if they get a good lead on you. That said I almost always use arrows. If you're having trouble getting them to spawn, kill the fish. They share spawns. I can normally get at least one to pop after 1-2 trips up and down the volcano river just by clearing out all the fish. High levels do take a lot of luck and patience though, and if you're on an official if the rivers aren't pillared, expect to have multiple spawns blocked by people who don't know/care. You should always use spike walls around any important tame regardless of species if you're not using a secure taming pen/raft. Even if animals don't naturally aggro to it, you and the animal can still get caught in the crossfire of local predator/prey battles if you're not paying attention or busy giving narcs, etc. Plus there's always that one in a million chance of a troll/griefer running across you taming and deciding they want to ruin your day.

Posted March 25, 2018 Just don't use spike walls as long as they can attack them. They get hurt. I built a 3x3 taming pen 4 doorframes high with ramps and used tranq arrows. Or I just placed 3 dino gates, lured the spino in with something quicker that can fit through the gates to escape, and when it's in I placed a 4th gate behind it to trap it. Tranq it, place spike walls, done. Use Dododex or something to know how many arrows etc. Link to commentShare on other sitesMore sharing options... BloopaloopPosted March 25, 2018 Bloopaloop

Posted March 25, 2018 There's a lot of good information in this thread. I'm planning to set up for next weeks weekend to tame one and this was very informative. Thank you all. Link to commentShare on other sitesMore sharing options... CitoaKPosted March 25, 2018 CitoaK

Posted March 25, 2018 Pro tip, tame on ragnarok then transfer them back. You can spend more time trying to force spawn on island than it takes to tame multiple 150's in the canyons on rag...been there done that.

Posted March 28, 2018 The best recommendation would be to use a taming pen if at all possible. Not sure on how friendly the tribes are on your server, but a lot of the servers i've been on have had a few public taming pens. Wouldn't hurt to try asking some other tribes if they would be willing to let you borrow one of their pens. As mentioned earlier, carry a lot of narcotics to keep it down, if possible wait as long as you can before force feeding the spino narc's to take advantage of the consuming time. If you are not sure on the amount of narcotics and kibble you should take with you, dododex is a great resource for general taming information.

Posted March 28, 2018 You can build a taming pen on a raft and use walls and ceilings to build a ramp 4 high, then surround a space w/ dino gates. Must be 4 walls high on the ramp or they can get back out. Then you can move your taming pen up and down the river. park it on the side then lure it in after you clear the beach of all distractions for the spino. You don't even need to put doors on the dino gates so u can run off through them w/ whatever u ride. To get the spino out , all you need is a platform animal w/ a ramp that reaches down far enough, or you just run the raft into a structure which can push the spino out.
Spinos are far more plentiful on aberration if you have trouble finding high lvl ones. Link to commentShare on other sitesMore sharing options... NeverenderPosted March 28, 2018 Neverender

Posted March 28, 2018 I actually just watched a video on taming one for PvE. 4 dino gates in a circle, with one left open, and a bear trap in the center. Once it is trapped run up and toss the last gate down. No need to use the actual doors, just the gate frame. Was actually one of the more creative ways I have seen it done.

Posted July 6, 2018 Should be really starting your Spino line on Aberration as it has a higher base damage on Abb Spinos than anywhere else. How many tranq arrows to tame a spino ark?Spinosaurus. Tips & Strategies
Get 20-40 tranq arrows, a bow that doesn't deal too much damage, and a butt load of fish meat. Shoot the spino at a long range, then when it closes in shoot it more, that will minimize how much damage you take.
