How do I tame a high-level Zombie Spino in ARK: Survival Evolved?
Taming a high-level Zombie Spino in ARK: Survival Evolved is a challenging but rewarding task. The Zombie Spino, also known as the Undead Spinosaurus, is a unique variant of the Spinosaurus that appears during the Fear Evolved event. It has a distinct appearance and slightly different behavior compared to its regular counterpart. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to tame one effectively.
First, letÔÇÖs discuss the mechanics involved. The Zombie Spino is a carnivore, so it requires meat to tame. However, unlike regular Spinos, it cannot be tamed passively. You must knock it out using tranquilizers and then feed it the appropriate food. The Zombie Spino has high health and torpor, so youÔÇÖll need a significant amount of tranquilizer arrows or darts to bring it down. Once unconscious, youÔÇÖll need to keep it sedated with narcotics or biotoxin while feeding it raw meat, prime meat, or kibble. Kibble is the most efficient option, as it speeds up the taming process and yields better taming effectiveness.
Now, letÔÇÖs go through the step-by-step process. Start by gathering the necessary resources. YouÔÇÖll need a crossbow or longneck rifle with tranq arrows or darts, plenty of narcotics or biotoxin, and a large amount of raw meat, prime meat, or kibble. If youÔÇÖre using kibble, Spino Kibble is the best choice, but if you donÔÇÖt have it, regular kibble or raw meat will work. YouÔÇÖll also need a taming pen to trap the Zombie Spino, as it is highly aggressive and can easily kill you or escape.
To build a taming pen, use stone or metal structures, as the Zombie Spino can damage wood. Create a large enclosure with a gate or ramp to lure the Spino inside. Once the pen is ready, locate a high-level Zombie Spino. Approach it carefully, as it will attack on sight. Use your crossbow or rifle to shoot tranq arrows or darts at it while keeping your distance. Aim for the head to maximize torpor gain. Be prepared to dodge its attacks, as it can deal significant damage.
Once the Zombie Spino is unconscious, place it inside the taming pen if it isnÔÇÖt already trapped. Open its inventory and start feeding it the preferred food. Keep an eye on its torpor level, as it will drop over time. Use narcotics or biotoxin to keep it sedated. The taming process can take a long time, especially for high-level Zombie Spinos, so be patient. Monitor its food consumption and torpor levels closely to avoid losing progress.
Here are some important tips and considerations. Always bring extra supplies, as the Zombie SpinoÔÇÖs high torpor and health can deplete your resources quickly. Use a taming calculator to estimate the amount of food and narcotics needed for the specific level of the Zombie Spino youÔÇÖre taming. If youÔÇÖre playing solo, consider using a taming pen with a trapdoor or ramp to make the process easier. In a tribe, coordinate with your teammates to divide tasks, such as gathering resources, building the pen, and keeping the Spino sedated.
Common mistakes to avoid include underestimating the Zombie SpinoÔÇÖs strength and torpor. ItÔÇÖs easy to run out of tranq arrows or darts if youÔÇÖre not prepared. Additionally, failing to build a secure taming pen can result in the Spino escaping or killing you. Always double-check your penÔÇÖs durability and ensure itÔÇÖs made of stone or metal. Another mistake is not monitoring the torpor level, which can lead to the Spino waking up prematurely and ruining the taming process.
For advanced techniques, consider using a taming pen with a bear trap or chain bola to immobilize the Zombie Spino temporarily. This can give you more time to shoot tranq arrows or darts without risking an attack. You can also use a taming raft, a mobile base built on a raft, to lure the Spino into the water and trap it. This method is particularly useful if youÔÇÖre taming near a body of water.
In terms of resource requirements, youÔÇÖll need a significant amount of materials. For a high-level Zombie Spino, expect to use around 100-150 tranq arrows or 30-40 tranq darts, depending on your weaponÔÇÖs damage. YouÔÇÖll also need 200-300 narcotics or biotoxin to keep it sedated. For food, prepare at least 50-70 raw meat or prime meat, or 10-15 kibble for a faster tame.
Whether youÔÇÖre playing solo or in a tribe, preparation is key. Solo players should focus on building a secure taming pen and gathering enough resources before attempting the tame. In a tribe, assign roles to each member to streamline the process. For example, one player can focus on shooting tranq arrows, while another monitors the torpor level and administers narcotics.
In conclusion, taming a high-level Zombie Spino requires careful planning, resource management, and patience. By following these steps and tips, you can successfully tame this powerful creature and add it to your arsenal of tamed dinosaurs. Good luck, and happy taming!
