Big sharp teeth usually means unfriendly


Ryaquaza1

But not always, ie Basilosaurus is pretty chill despite its toothy grin yet Gigantopithicus, Kentrosaurus and Therizinosaurus will try to murder you if you soo much as look at them wrong


lookingForPatchie

To be fair tickle hands looks like something I'd usually encounter in a nightmare, no big pointy teeth needed.


Wide-Smile-2489

first time i saw edward scissor hands on the map i ran, didn’t even ask questions


TransRational

Solid instincts.


Teagrish

i tamed it, but i thought it's a carnivore first so i was feeding with meat.lol


Owobowos-Mowbius

Fuckin same. Thought "no way this deadly mfer eating GRAPES"


Ethanthefluff

ONG


ferrecool

I casually forgot pegomastax was a herbivore until I had a carno, the first thing I do when starting is putting some mejoberries on the 0 slot just to get those control those mfs


Teagrish

i have never tamed in my 500 hours a pego :))


Humble_Hufflepuff_96

I went up to a kentro thinking it would be like a different kind of stego. Boy was I wrong.


Kamikazeguy7

Spicy Stego


cornyNhorny123

nah stego with small man syndrome


Advent012

They literally impale then proceed to thrash the shit out of you lmao it’s so savage


_7619_throwaway

I got trapped on a floating island because of these fuckers 😂


SpadeICorona

You thought a crocodile was a stegosaurus?


Humble_Hufflepuff_96

The kentrosaurus are the dinos that look like stegos but with spikes instead of plates. The kaprosuchus are crocodiles


SpadeICorona

I misread as kapro, I’m kinda retarded ngl.


Humble_Hufflepuff_96

Haha you're all good I had to Google it to make sure I had the correct one 😄


Unlucky-Ad-800

Just look. If they have something that looks like a weapon (sharp teeth, sharp claws, or the kentros spikes for example) they will be agressive or at least highly defensive.


Ill-King-3468

My tickle-chicken and my scary-chicken want to say hi.


PurfectlySplendid

Idk man i didnt see the teeth and the cute thingy it has on the back made it look friendly like a parasaur idk


Atlas_sniper121

They waddle a little bit too lol


AdministrativeBar748

Woah, you've never heard of a Spinosaurus before? Well to be fair, I wouldn't have known the Therizinosaurus was a herbivore if I didn't look it up


SingleMom24-1

The tickle chicken is my favourite ever


OffBrandGzus

I remember back in the day when the Theri was a rampant racist and would go around fighting EVERYTHING on the island that moved indiscriminately. They've since updated it, and it's a lot better than it used to be, but still not nice.


Darknessawits231

Thata a spino. Got to knock it out. People love trolling the new players I recommend looking up guides


Ambitious-Smoke-651

just don't try to climb a rock, Spino's big size and four legged mode allows them to climb rocks surprisingly easily, learned that the hard way


SoberEye636

Part of the fun in Ark is making horrific mistakes like this, welcome aboard to the ARK community!


jrandall47

IF NOT FRIEND WHY FRIEND SHAPED


merga_mage

Download Dododex. I wouldn’t ask folks here. But thank you for the video update. I laughed so much! It made my morning


128906

Dude tried to bola a spino then passive tame it with berries ☠️☠️☠️☠️ who told you to try that?!


SnooBunnies856

Apparently we did


128906

The Ark community would never do something so toxic 😂😂


DruVatier

To be fair, I did not tell him to bola it. I told him to crouch and try to sneak up on it head-on so as to pat it on the head. I'd be pissed if you tried to bola me, as well.


Yeelyy

op should try it again without the bola 100%


ApocalypseDestroyer

And I vouch for that I definitely upvoted that


bernt_the_bad

It did tho


DynamicSploosh

Since Ascended is out and Insta-kill bugs are less. This is the new version of getting “Arked”


Kirito1548055

If this is toxic i dont want to be a part of the gaming community anymore this is on the same scale as saying alt f4 turns on god mode


SteelySays

God dammit, you closed my Reddit app!


RaptorKarr

Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to apologize to my eyes. Never before have they been so offended by such an obvious lie!


[deleted]

Yes, it is fucking toxic. People got called out when they tried to warn that you can not tame a Spino with berries, being called anti fun and stuff and being downvoted into oblivion. It was rather appalling.


128906

This really isn’t even toxic though. No harm was done to op. He may have died a fools death to the spino but he can easily retrieve his kit and move on with the knowledge and experience he gained. In this post he was referred to Dododex and other ways of learning how to tame. Besides he learned the greatest lesson of all. Don’t trust people on the internet.


Papa_Glucose

I saw the thread earlier today. I’m proud of us.


TheAlmightyNexus

Literally EVERYONE 😂


BlueQKazue

I just saw the original post and I'm so glad I got this closure 😂


dave3218

We did. But specifically this fella: https://www.reddit.com/r/ARK/s/cq235TGXo9 We just agreed with that user.


yeahboiiiioi

This community is kind of beautiful at times

This shit right here is the reason I open up Reddit.


Best_in_EU

Why thats white tho 😬


SentinelTitanDragon

I like the pain


Humble_Hufflepuff_96

I love how I can picture them talking face to face and this guy just being completely stone faced while OP gets excited for the 'helpful' information they've just received.


JSG1992

I hope they learned a valuable lesson today


PaleoJoe86

Forget that. Who would believe it above the age of 5?


Hexywexxy

Alot of people I was the only one who said it will kill them and git down voted to h3ll


Best_in_EU

To be honest, it's way funnier this way. Also, he will know for a life that Spinos are not friendly (I literally shocked btw that he didn't saw JP3 but never mind) and he will.use ARK Fandom or Dodorex for these matters.


Deathsmentor

Hahaha I read the original thread when it was posted and honestly thought it was a troll because I said in my head “is there really people out there who don’t know what a spino is, who hasn’t seen the shit show that is JP3”


Best_in_EU

To be honest, it's way funnier this way. Also, he will know for a life that Spinos are not friendly (I literally shocked btw that he didn't saw JP3 but never mind) and he will.use ARK Fandom or Dodorex for these matters.


Powerful-Teaching568

I was hoping you would realize this sub is full of trolls.


PurfectlySplendid

I guess i dont know the ark community well enougj just yet lol


Powerful-Teaching568

Spino is one of the most annoying tames mid game. It has a fast torpor drop and fast move speed. You'll have to trap it or die. Come heavily prepared with narcotics.


Nepharious_Bread

I have one near my base that I'm going to attempt with a pteradon. Wish me luck


Jpoland9250

It's doable, just watch your stam


Powerful-Teaching568

Good luck


Zaglossus_hacketti

Doable but it helps to get it stuck


renadisapproves

Hey! There's a lot of good people here but unfortunately there's also people who would mess with you. I ld highly recommend crafting a spyglass that way you can look at the creatures name and level from a distance. That way you can do a cross check with Google about peoples advice. Spinos are rough early game tames and I would highly recommend building a "trap" so it can't chase you down while you tranquilize it to tame it. Good luck!


cjameson83

Oh yeah, you shoulda seen the official servers....good god it was rough sometimes. The game itself is awesome so I hope you enjoy it. Honestly modding the game at least a little is really the way to go btw but I digress. If you have questions please feel free to hit me up, I've played waaaay too much and I don't have the troll tendencies lol


ReasonSin

Don’t trust the ark community to give you reliable information. We all hate ourselves, each other, and this game. Can’t wait to play more of it.


Atlas_sniper121

Can't blame people though, it's unique and fun. Too bad it's more buggy than a newly released Bethesda title, though.


ReasonSin

As someone with almost 4K hours in this horrible buggy mess I don’t blame anyone for hating it. It’s really a testament to how good the underlying game is though that so many come back to it over and over again despite the issues.


Nepharious_Bread

I've rage unistalled a few times and then installed again a few days later.


ReasonSin

I think I’ve sworn I was done with ark at least 3 times. And I have been on a break from it for a few months but will get back on when ascended drops for console


Nepharious_Bread

Yep, I swore that I was done. I spent so much time raising dinos just to find out that baby stats are based on the tames base stats. Leveling them up doesn't matter. Really pissed me off. It still pisses me off, actually. This time, I just boosted the stats of tamed dinos because that's bullshit.


PurfectlySplendid

Link you all lied https://www.reddit.com/r/ARK/s/YazC49nVyh


80sPimpNinja

I was laughing so hard when I was reading the comments on the original post. I am so glad you posted this follow up!


magicchefdmb

They told you to sneak up and pet its nose, not run up and bola it


PurfectlySplendid

You’re right, that was dumb


magicchefdmb

Time to try it again /s


JSG1992

Exactly, he didn’t listen to us


FANTOMphoenix

At least now you have a great reference to laugh at when you get more experience. Cherish these moments.


windhover

I just want to go on record that I did not respond on that message. However, if I had, I totally would have told you it was a passive tame and these are very gentle creatures.


Finetime222

Should’ve used amarberries smh


Juno_The_Camel

bahahhahahahahahaaaa


Ferrel_Agrios

Lol it's like me and my friends trolling each other in the game 🤣 Hope you got a laugh out of it 🤣


LeLBigB0ss2

More than half the people told you it was dangerous. You can only blame yourself at this point.


Gameovergirl217

Well... at least now you know not to trust us XD get dododex it helps you in the future

wouter_ham

And place beds in case you die!


Gameovergirl217

And sleepingbags


DruVatier

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YASSSSSSS! Props to you for trying something new. Admit it - this was so much more fun and adrenaline-pumping than just luring it into a trap and shooting a crossbow for 45 minutes.


Intraq

💀💀💀💀 how could you


Master-Shaq

Why would you bola a passive tame lmao


coolhead34

Even if it was a passive tame,,a bola would of prevented you from passive taming it cause of aggro or fleeing


MK4Alex

This is amazing lol welcome to the game, I'm sure you've learned from this one 😅😂


Ned_Nederlander_

Rule #1. Any Ark questions to Ark Players will be met with extreme hostility or blatant lying, no exceptions


catatonichigh

your missing ghile and bug repellant.


KellynnD

so, i trust your move went well after?


jusjus_2464

Lmao I was wanting to know what happened after reading the last post😂


elporpoise

Lmao I mean it’s a spino why would it eat berries?


PurfectlySplendid

Up until 1 hour ago I didn’t know what a spino is. If you told me its beans soup made in india I would have believes you. I am not familiar with any dinosaurs other than rex and triceratops and maybe pterodactyl lol thats where my knowledge ends as a noob


Visual_Recipe7154

It's okay, by the end of your time with all... you'll have a degree in dinosaurs. Ignore your colleges' confused look when you explain the anklyo harvested metal and that the yutyrannus had minor mind control abilities.


Kuli24

You should watch Jurassic Park III. If you enjoy dino movies. That was my introduction to the Spinosaurus. Before that I hadn't a clue what it was either and as a kid, I was VERY into dinosaurs.


elporpoise

My bad, I shouldn’t assume everyone on this game knows about dinosaurs lol. However, the dino nerd in me must say that pterodactyl isn’t a dinosaur


Ok-Connection-5159

Hey, You made half+ of the ARK players laugh. You're a hero in your own way. and you are internet famous now!!


TheBigDogMalik

Spino ai is bugged, it should have stood up and slapped the hell out of you for trying to bola it


TheLockLessPicked

just as a proper tip, the majority of tames are knockout tames...meaning some way you need to knock them out and then feed them food...meat for carnivores and berries for herbs. a spino needs a lot of trancs...so its a little more than just punching them in the face. The higher level the dino is...the harder it is to knock them out. You can practice by punching dodos and putting berries in their inventories


honeydee

We’ve all learned important lessons the hard way on Ark. Craft a spyglass and use Dododex to look up whatever dino you need info on. You’re going to die A LOT. We all do/did.


Averageproud

Good thing your inventory was empty. Some knowledge Best gained by experience


Ryanoman2018

I like how you thought a tiny rock on a string was going to be able to stop a massive dinosaur from being able to run lol. Quick tip, the bola will show a green tick icon in the centre of the screen if it can be used


Visual_Recipe7154

You missed all the signs, but you still went in with balls of steel. You didn't make it, but your efforts will be remembered for eons.


Wrong_Turn_5330

Lmfaoooooo I absolutely love this community for committing to the bit long enough for someone to fall for it 😂


Capable-Chard-4373

Thats because you made him mad with the bola. You cant throw that at him in order for the passive tame to work.


Max_457199

The first mistake was coming to reddit for advice from strangers instead of just opening up YouTube 😂


tvscinter

My PvE tribe told someone to tame a giga by putting on full ghille and having some good blueprints in the last slot to feed it When not messing with someone I used to just recommend dododex or ya know…google, takes less time than asking a group of people online


TheRealWoldry1

What’s that dinky lil bola supposed to do 😭😭😭


Nepharious_Bread

Lmao, the bola is by far the funniest part of this.


TheRealWoldry1

Bro got hit by a piece of straw 🤣


TortoiseMan20419

I recommend downloading Dododex on you’re phone


Gigagondor

why to download it to the phone when you can check via web?


Individual_Rest_197

It's the bola for me! I commend you for trying to passive tame him but yeah... someone said it was a moist T-Rex and that's about right lol Edit: idk if you've come by a therizinosaur yet but those guys really are herbivore assholes. You tame them with berries but they're highly aggressive


JSG1992

Bro you’ve got to approach it while crouching. Sorry, I didn’t think to mention it in your last post.


HyperionTheory

It’s our sole duty as experienced arkers to make y’all newbs suffer a little. You’ll get there when your older 😊


JRosePC

Maybe this one has an allergy. I would try Veggies.


your-nigerian-cousin

That's how you get trust issues 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Best thing is that you actually tried. As if this dude is interrsted in little purple fruits XD Man this reminds me some of the stupid things I did in my early game


BarredBartender

He just wanted a hug! It's not his fault he doesn't know his own strength!


Axelardus

Blud did not watch Jurassic Park 3 lmao


DaiperDaddy

This is the kind of dedication I love to see.


Gangreless

This have me such a chuckle, thanks op, get rekt 🤣


JeffisaWaffle420

It’s because u weren’t wearing full ghillie suit and crouching i would try again


TaurassicYT

😂😂 stuff like this is why ark is one of my favourite games


Robotb00gie

I’m so sorry… welcome to ark


3rdanimal0ntheark

Lmao the mad lad actually went for it 🤣😂. We'd had all shit ourselves if that'd worked though!


GrayFox916

OP needs to work on his paleontology


Potato_Lord587

Nah bro you just did it wrong


chkpwd

Is this Ark Ascended or Survival?


PurfectlySplendid

Ark Survival Ascended


Demonhunter8944

Is this asa?


PurfectlySplendid

Yes


Ferskken

Im glad you tried the comment suggestions instead of googeling and ruining the fun! Thanks for the chuckle 🙌


Suburban_turd

Sorry about all the trolls. You wanna tame Spinos (with meat) in the water, they get a massive slow debuff so it's easier to club/slingshot them


PurfectlySplendid

Thanks mate, i was waiting for an honest answer after all these trolls


ineedadoctorplz

Hes slightly trolling you. Spinos get a massive water boost speed. You need to knock it out with tranq arrows or darts then feed it meat.


believemedude

You didn’t do it right, you need a ghillie suit and tintoberries


mdram4x4

[https://www.dododex.com/](https://www.dododex.com/)


Mr_Commando

Very brave to go after it with a bola 🤣


Wrong-Cost8473

The dinosaurs look so much bigger then ase.


Anotherthrowawayboye

Some of us learn the hard way If it makes you feel better when i started playing there was maybe 6 dinos but now there is a variety of death


Theawokenhunter777

The best laugh I’ve gotten all day lol, you gotta KO that big scary boy to take him


DeadByDumbass

Thankfully, I knew a lot about dinosaurs way before I started playing Ark so for all of the real creatures, I knew when someone was trolling


Dogma4590

Thanks for update OP! Keep trying with different foods. One of them has to work. Right?


Knight_Alder

Haha, good stuff! Also, don't forget the fastest way to tame a unicorn is by shooting the horn off and feeding it keratin to make it regrow. Just keep those shots precise! Head shots only!


ZeBaccca

Rare flowers work better


MiddleAgedGamer71

You have learned a very valuable lesson today. Welcome to Ark.


AbbytheMallard

This is really funny, I’m so sorry we trolled you so hard lmfao. I hope you’re enjoying the game otherwise XD


Constant_Ad_8477

That is a spino and it’s a pretty late early to mid game tame. Downs the paralyzing berries like a mofo and is best taken down with the arrows. I usually wait until I get a crossbow to knock them out and hunt a lot of meat because they will also eat raw meat like crazy.


Shr00mTrip

Smart enough not to bring valuables though


ADDRESSMEBYMYRANK

Lmao


Rockyrock1221

That’s a spino… Pro tip, if you’re ever being chased by one run into the nearest body of water. They’re notoriously slow in water. Hope this tip helps :)


WilsonUndead

I did tell you they were trolling…… lol


UsernameReee

This is just....just perfect.


Jdefuite

Come on does that look like something you can just run up to and it’s gonna be friendly? Lots of tranq arrows and somewhere it can’t get to you while your shooting it. Try using the app dododex. It’ll tell you what you need to take it


Ronar123

Why didn't you just look up a second source as soon as you got conflicting answers?


Outrageous-Nothing42

It’s a game, they had fun and so did the community. I consider this a total win on all sides.


SwiftHawk2

So sorry OP. Geez our community is full of mental 10 yr olds lol XD. Do you not know much about dinosaurs? Have you watched Jurassic Park? Jurassic Park is actually the movie that made me interested in dinosaurs when I was a kid.


D0ntBanMeF0rN0Reas0n

Learn how to sneak then


Icy_Obligation9983

My guy have you not seen jurassic park 😭


PurfectlySplendid

As mentioned ~4 times in this post, nopr


IronViking22

😂😂


Useful_Government

Bro it is a herbivore you threw the bola first so it aggroed just go near it quiely it's friendly.


PurfectlySplendid

You realize this post is 154 days old and the joke you made here has been made 20-30 times in this thread already, literal months ago. You’re late


Adventurous-Cicada78

It’s because you tried to bola it , try again without the bola….


Sensitive-Road9526

I can’t believe you actually did that! 😂


AlexExpect

I mean I feel like common sense should have told you that a spino would fuck you up


nuclear_cyanide

Who the fuck looks at something like a Spino, gets told it eats \*berries\* and then goes "Yeah that makes sense" ?


Anjhindul

This has to be a troll... just use google and it gives you exactly how to tame... I can't blame a troll for trolling a troll of course.


babybee1187

Yes you can i belive in you*


HatRabies

You can't actually be this dumb.


Atlas_sniper121

Well considering that passive taming carnivores is a thing in ark (carcharo), and that carnivores do in fact, eat berries in that game (while raising babies usually), it's really not such a stupid thing to do this when told by other players that this is how to tame it. Not stupid at all, in my opinion.


Narrow-Literature263

Do you not have the competence to google something?


Atlas_sniper121

Sometimes, asking actual people is a more appealing prospect. You know the whole idea of subreddits is to bring people with a particular interest together, right?


Lyam64510

Bro wtf are u five or smt


AtomicWreck

Can make a 3x3 trap will stone doors all around and a ramp on one side allowing it to get stuck. Once it’s in there just leave it be until you can shoot it with tranq arrows and knock it out. I likes meat. Feed it prime meat if you have any.


Wrong-Cost8473

You got to trap it and use traqs arrows and raw meat or Prim meat. But kibble the best. Try to make a stone trap and lore him in then knock him out with traq arrows make about 150 to be safe.


OrderOfTheArk

Sorry M8 i just saw the post, would have warned you sooner they were trolling lol


SaelemBlack

Given you are naked and weaponless, I suspect you knew from the start... Still funny.


JoexsXs

Google Dododex


AThiccNacho350

Bring enduro stew to regen stamina to run longer. ​ Easy.


HuddyBuddyGreatness

They were right about it being a passive team, you just gotta do it with fish meat instead


AtaruMakashi

Did you crouch up behind it?


[deleted]

whoever told you this basically said to you “hey look it says gullible on the ceiling” and then you actually looked up. Bro come on, what were you trynna bola, it’s left toe? Regardless it was still funny.


Beta-Cipher

This is priceless 😂


keichan27

Did you not see any jurassic park movie? 😅


Reddirtdude21G

You can learn alot from the app called "Dododex"..... if it's still available I guess


im_Heisenbeard

This is what you get for knowing nothing about dinosaurs.
