Due to an update changing taming times, times and quantity of food mentioned during that section are approximately halved. I've seen a few people comment about the spino escaping or jumping over the trap. The design I suggest in this video is 3x3 with 3 walls high as a minimum size. There are a couple of suggestions I can make to help "debug" the issue 1) Make sure your walls are 3 high! I can't stress this enough because Spinos can walk over walls that are 2 high. 2) If you're still having trouble you may need to make the trap 3x4, extending away from your ramps or increasing the size to 4x4
Fun fact: Spinos apparently spawn in and around the easy starter areas so if you stay in the starter area, you could potentially tame an infinite amount of spinos by using the cliff near the starter area.
@@giganigga_bbc i did knock it out but it took me 2 hours of feeding it raw meat because i thought it ate meat and prime meat not fish meat so it took longer
Everything you need to know to tame in the first 5 minutes... perfect... so many videos have too much detail or preparation filler. The rest is great additional info, helpful and informative but I like when a taming video gets to the point.
@ContentDegree58 accross every map? You'd be best served by checking the spawn maps or the wiki. They are amphibious mounts so its generally around the shores and coastlines.
Years later and your Ark vids are still the best on UA-cam, tamed my first Spino tonight its an Aberrant green and I got a huge level boost from taming thanks to you 😁
You didn't mention that Spinos do more damage with their bipedal attack, and they will prefer to use this attack if they are fighting while not ridden. They can do this while unridden underwater, it is not possible to use the claw attack underwater while ridden. Also while in bipedal stance, they are capable of turning on the spot by moving the camera, making them relatively agile for something their size. The roar is also purely for show, it has no other effect.

Thanks for the information, I managed to tame my first female lvl 14 spino using reg kibble, simple kibble, cooked prime fish meat, raw fish meat and 30 narcotics. The hunt or tame I should say is over, now the work begins! (Grinding to get enough hides for a saddle lol)
I really like how you put the kibble for mobile... A lot of videos don’t do this and it feels like it’s left out and looked over, I really like the equality! Thx for including us!
Actually dilo's can interfere with the spino tame, I recently tried a tame and knocked out a spino, it was nearly 70% tamed and den a dilo came by and killed it, so kill any dilo nearby especially wen ur doing your tame in the night
@@wheatley7083 rip ): one time my Argie accidentally attacked some dimorphodons and he was on attack target so I put him on passive and follow but it didnt work so he died ):
Extra stuff: do not knock out spoons underwater, if you go exploring underwater with a spino don’t jump off since it will swim to the surface of the water so to avoid that you must make it follow you to keep it next to you, but remember the spino can’t breathe underwater
I think they were easier back then, (idk how long you been playing) but yesterday I shot 100 darts and 50 tranq arrows with bow and it still didn't go down 🤦🏻♂️ back in the day a bow would do it easily
Tip: tapejaras are also useful for taming spinos, I've used a tapejara to cling onto a Cliff to tranq a spino and it worked All i used is a tapejara and good aim
Yes I live in that area in ark but not in the swamps i fly past that spot all the time in ark I live on the map where it looks like Florida I live there and they can also spawn in swamps because I was flying through the swamps to find a beaver dam and I found 5 spinos

I watched all your taming vids ehehehe those who thumbsdown on it is noob. Nice vids and very helpful for beginners specially for the feeds and abilities of the tamed dinos.
I have a question I was taming a spino btw I’m on mobile while I was taming it I went home to get more raw prime fish meat when I got back it was gone the torpor rate is till high but how did it disappear tho
a another trap is the stone Dino gateway with a bear trap, you need four gateways place 3 down and put the bear trap in the middle when the spino comes and gets trapped put the last gateway down.
The tower version does not work I shot two tranq darts he ran away I chased him put two more in him and he killed me, I cam back and he broke the pillar and killed me any advice?
Using a cliff or pillar is always going to be finiky especially since creatures run away if they can't reach you. I'd recommend checking out dododex to get an idea of how many darts it takes to knock one out so you don't fall into the trap of "it's running away so it must be close to being knocked out." I've personally never liked the cliff/tower techniques because of how risky and unreliable it can be, and I've since stopped recommending it. The technique I've been favoring instead is using metal billboards in a squareish shape with a side missing and a large bear trap in the middle. Lure the spino into the bear trap and place the last billboard into place. It's a fairly inexpensive trap that is quick to set up and easy to use. Edit: If you want an idea of how the billboard trap works. It's at 3:17 in the baryonyx video linked below. ua-cam.com/video/4-TQt81kjoc/v-deo.html
Just use high level Kapro, its so much easier as it can makes Spino unable to sprint, so you don't have to worry about it running away, as well as having easier time kiting it on foot
Oh cool, just noticed this was on my birthday last year :). I'm new to game (just got it last month) so this is all great info. I've killed 2 of these but was too scared to tame it
I used this method but the spino simply came outside. Everything was the same except for the fact that my ramp was made up of wood since android doesn't have access to stone ones. Anyway Everything else was same then how did it escape?
Instructions unclear spino phased through the walls twice. I built the 3x3 and the doorways out of stone and couldn't find stone ramps but substituted wooden and the spino just walked through the walls. Did they patch these traps or something?
If anybody has friends or plays with some and want them to get on the sphino but its one seat just do a glitch. 1.Get on the sphino 2.get of and get on the side 3.now crouch down Now you can ride while having 1 seat. You cannot do this with 4 people on the sides either 3 or 2
If did this first do a video of taming baryonyx it may be slow but if you but 20 or higher health then you can use a baryonyx to tame it isn’t a good idea?
So, I am in an ark solo world and I have unlocked stone builds and haven't moved out of my old thatch house. Still, I know where a Spino is, me being me, I am going to try the pillar technique and knock it out using a slingshot or tranq arrows in a normal bow. It is going to take a pretty long time.
I tamed one by shooting it from a nearby cliff. But fist a had to condition the area by killing: a pack of raptors, alpha raptor, and an alpha carno that spawned immediately after killing the alpha raptor.

3x3 worked fine for me

The problem with that is that the spin-off has to be stuck or else it will run away
Spino* not spin-off
@@blueman1993 You can try to position yourself where the spino runs into the walls when running from you.
Or you can build a pillar that positions you where if the spino runs away, it will run towards the cliff and get stuck there.
Can confirm this had one terrorize me for a long time when I first started and it eventually died or despawned
Finally I got my Spino and when i was running back home , i accidently felt from a high clift and he died ...
Just jump off before you hit the ground and you won't take fall damage

Doge its a video game everything can happen

@@Skyeissa i'd say yea, because on console, the equivalent would be Superior Kibble.
This helps by quite a margin! I was using a much more expensive fence gate trap which was much harder to do
Put a large bear trap inside the trap to give yourself more time to place the final gate
Fun fact: a spino is guaranteed to spawn on the first map spawn
Nice i see it at base as i type rn 😭🤣
Im not sure it has been fun for most peoples who experienced that

Spinos are my fav dino. Sooo fast , great climber
When I first started Ark I almost knocked one out with a slingshot because it got stuck.

2nd try:I just stuck a crossbow On His Snout 20 times..

I like the Stone Building Tactic. Will definitely try it out this way! Thanks
Is the cliff at 3:00 the one to the west of the footpaw, right where the rivers split off towards the swamp and the red pillar?

had to add a 4 wall high box. Was fine, even with the ramps 1 wall down from top, he steps right over those and falls in trap.
I tamed mine three weeks ago and I used potent dust now he’s white as snow.
Btw if u dont want ot go hit it with your gun use a scope its cna be use on all guns
lmao I found a spino and at my spawn when it said "easy" but THERES A FRICKIN SPINO NEAR MY SPAWN

I’m impatient so I’m going to use a soothing balm
Those sure are some neat facts about tamed Spinosaurus.
I can’t wait for Ark2 to come out and you make new taming videos!!!!!!
Honestly spinos are one of the best Dinos for boss fights like the brood mother,megapithecus, tek cave and overseer
Omg the piler idea is so smart
Is it me or dose a slingshot do 1 torpor because I used 189 stone at a spino
I also used a tapejara and hoped on the back seat, so I can switch from seat to driver quickly
I was on 90 percent to tame it ,but there came a therizyno and f(ok) me and I got a bug there were no spinos there
I have a question I was taming a spino btw I’m on mobile while I was taming it I went home to get more raw prime fish meat when I got back it was gone the torpor rate is till high but how did it disappear tho
Prob died
Or despawned
for me doesnt work...i dont know if its some new update or what
I used the same ingredients as what you used to make exceptional kibble and I don't work what am I doing wrong 😢 pls pls tell me what i`m doing wrong
4:38 made me laugh 🤣
Could be wrong but could you not jus cryopod a knocked out dino on the water and move it too a better spot?
The hell,the spino I literally tamed yesterday is EXACTLY the same colour as the one in the thumbnail.
GG
There is a low level spino close to my base but I just started on my first single player game and am level 29 so idk if I can
I spawn near a spino so i try to reach level to get tqua arrow and try to knovk out spino near the cilpside and it knock and i tamed it
Couldnt get the steps to connect on trap 3 so use trap to with the pillars only did 9 high tho worked pretty well just have to chase him at the end
About how many tranq darts does it take to knock out a level 120
a another trap is the stone Dino gateway with a bear trap, you need four gateways place 3 down and put the bear trap in the middle when the spino comes and gets trapped put the last gateway down.
For some reason, my spino’s taming keeps decreasing the second his food isn’t full, why’s that?
So kibble is the most effective for the level boost, but prime fish meat is faster?
Very good and explicit guide. Thank you!
The tower version does not work I shot two tranq darts he ran away I chased him put two more in him and he killed me, I cam back and he broke the pillar and killed me any advice?
