More about taming the Aberrant Spino
Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Aberrant Spino based on your settings.
Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the Aberrant Spino. Space your shots to let torpor accumulate - rapid firing risks killing it before knockout.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Aberrant Spino first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Tusoteuthis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.
The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Aberrant Spino unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The Aberrant Spino bleeds 2.13 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Spino as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Variant classification.
Its base Melee Damage sits at 106%, giving it solid damage output. The Aberrant Spino has 805 base Health - impressively tough. Its base Stamina of 350 gives it respectable staying power. It carries 350 base Weight - generous inventory space.
To tame the Aberrant Spino, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.
As a tame, the Aberrant Spino earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 30°C–32°C temperature window. Killing a wild Aberrant Spino yields 60 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.67 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
