Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
It takes about 77 slingshot hits to knock out a lvl 1
How to tame a Rex:
The rex is a large predator, it is moderately fast but is tanky and does some real damage. It is mostly found on non-snow mountains, excluding white sky peak and frozen fang. It spawns after you clear its kins, so you can go around killing low level Rexes and wait for high levels.
How to tame:
200 tranq arrows will be enough, but I bring 300 just in case I find something else(u never find what you’re looking for in ark).
No narcotics bc Rexes tames are pure wait but bring it loads of prime. Have cooked prime just in case but have narcs if you tame on cooked prime or worse.
Method 1 safari tame
A 130% speed and around 300 health some levels in stam as well.
U just run, and turn and shoot. When it is catching up, circle it as they have abysmal turn radius. Just don’t get hit and repeat the procedure. A pt is good as you fly away when the Rex is close and land and shoot when it is farther.
Method 2 trap
Bring 4 stone dino gateframes and 2 LARGE bear traps.
Make a I_| shape with the gateframes and place the traps in the middle.
Use a flyer to lure the Rex in and quickly place another gateframe in the opening so that is is a cube O shape. The Rex is trapped.
After you knock it out, place a simple bed and sleep. Starve your tame!!!!!! Get prime in the process and when the timer ends shove about 50 prime meat down its throat(less if its low level use Dododex)
Uses: Tank
Harvest: gets tons of meat hide and prime
Boss Dino
Army: very tanky and does great dmg.
Have creative ways to use your Rex such as taming tanks.
Hope you enjoy your Rex!
I remember when I first started the game I spent two hours taming a lvl 75 with a sling- then my game crashed and I lost everything-Rip Cruel Tyrant
It’s the easiest thing on earth to tame anything on scorched earth just get any kind of flier and land on a rock near it and start shooting.🦖🪨🔫👍
Idk why people think that Rexes are so hard to tame. All you have to do is 1. Tranquilize It (Preferably with tranq darts or shocking tranq darts) 2. Once it’s unconscious give it raw prime meat or its preferred kibble. No narcotics needed (unless taming effectiveness is significantly reduced or if it’s high level)
Get a friend with a flying mount and let him hold you as you shoot it in the face. Then build a wall around it.
The Rex is my favorite dinosaur
Hey Dino Tamers! Wanna know a simple hack to taming this big fella? Follow the steps below:
1. Grab around 20 or so LARGE bear traps and about 45 tranq darts, along with plenty of meat.
2. Find and locate an open valley containing a singular rex (the valley is optional, but a lot safer).
3. Place around 15 of the bear traps in a gathering on the ground in the SAME GENERAL AREA; it is recommended that you are at a safe distance away from the rex.
4. Shoot one tranq dart at the rex, and run behind your bear traps.
5. Keep shooting at the rex as it comes into the traps; the rex should get stuck with every step that it takes.
6. Once knocked out, fill the inventory with meat and bam! Shortly after, depending on what you feed the beast, you should have yourself a slayer feared by all!
Hope you enjoyed! Stay safe and happy hunting! <3
Pretty easy to tame as long as you are prepared. Always bring extra tranqs and narcotics to be on the safe side just because it takes a lot to bring them down. Upgraded rifles and crossbows are a godsend and make it even easier too. Get a Pteranodon or Argentavis, find a cliff/high ground where the Rex can’t get you and make it rain with darts and arrows. And when they start to flee once their torpor increases, run it down and don’t let up. I don’t make/use traps but this tactic works well for me. The giant murder lizard will be yours soon enough! Happy hunting and good luck!
Make sure to use a stone trap 👍
How to tame a T-Rex for dummies:
1. Find a mountain or forest biome, Rexes usually spawn in these biomes.
2. Head back to base and craft up a ton of narcotics, I usually go with about 400, but I always over-prepare. Also, make sure you have at least 80 tranq arrows, or you might not knock it out.
3. Find a high rock with a flying dino, an argy is perfect, and do NOT underestimate how far up it can hit you.
4. Hit the Rex with your argy and guide it back to the high rock mentioned earlier while it’s aggro’d, hit the T-Rex repeatedly, and go for headshots.
5. The Rex will wander away from time to time during the process, make sure to hop back on your argy and remind him who’s boss. (Aggro him again)
6. After it’s Torpor is high enough, it will eventually flee, don’t get too close to it, but follow with it with your argy, landing and firing tranq arrows occasionally.
7. It will eventually knock out, and you will NOT want to put any food in its inventory yet. Instead, put it on a tracker and monitor its Torpor from time to time. Now would also be a good time to go and round up some prime meat, which is an excellent, easy-to-get food for the Rex.
8. Return to the Rex with your prime meat, (a little extra never hurts) and feed it some Narcotics, to raise its Torpor again. By now, it’s hunger should have dipped a considerable amount, and now you can put the prime meat into its inventory.
9. Protect your T-Rex while it eats up, some creatures will attack it while it is KO’d.
10. Enjoy your T-Rex! (And make sure they have LOADS of food in their inventory at all times)
If you have a flyer then you should go a small distance of the Rex shoot it with your trancs get on your flyer and repeat. Once you have it knocked you are going to want to remember where it is, kill a Dino that gives prime meat like a bronto or a allo wait till its hunger is very low give it the prime meat. Ps bring lots of narcotics.

There are different ways to knock out Rexes but Traps are probably the best solution. You can use three Stone Dinosaur Gateways (Rexes can't destroy stone) and a Large Bear trap by leading the Rex into the BTrap and surrounding it by Gates. Or you could also use a Raft Trap which is a better way to spend resources, since you can move it instead of remaking Traps. You can also get your knocked Rex to safety by taking advantage of the movement capability. I currently cannot think of any other ways to trap a Rex, but if this was helpful, please leave a like. ❤
Shut up about traps. Just get on a hill and tranke
away
I have a rex level 440 it is damage is 1000 percentage that equal 764
If you wanted to tame one like this tame rex with 200 level and get a lysrto small mockups and it will give all dinos levels and level it is damage is is stronger than a giga!!!!!
Rex is found on the north island and the griffin mountain and snow get up an arrow to sky that people know
You can find these bad boys in the mountains, snowy parts, and in the red woods. Use around 30 tranq arrows/darts to knock them out. Feed them raw prime meat or raw meat if you have the courage to wait and boom got the king of the dinosaurs.
Look for CaptainFatdog on YouTube, he makes super cheap traps that are accessible way earlier than all these overpriced versions. You can tame pretty much anything as soon as you get access to stone, aswell as rexes! His rex trap is literally 14 pillars, its cheap and easy to put up 👍
Do not look away from a T.rex when your trying to tame it because when your offline in multiplayer servers it keeps going so my T.rex woke up and killed me
