Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

I recommend using either a taperjara with your friend to tranq it or use another bird OR use a gallimimus. For solo tame try to stand on a cliff with the Rex below you. It may sound tough but it can be done. Once you have knocked it out build spikes around it with a little gap…

Forget all the other tips, a bird and a group of high rocks will give you a platform to tranq it, if it runs re aggro it and go back to rock as Rex will most likely get stuck

Pretty easy to tame when you have the correct equipment, but extremely useful creatures. Get yourself a reasonably sized tame hole with 3 high stone walls, ramp on one side, door on the opposite and a dinosaur gate (worked for spino's as well) for the end... If your…

No your options if u do not have a quetzal to use and knock it out find a cliff and drag the Rex over with either a Dino of yours or hit it with a tranq if u are high enough u will get to shoot it without home hitting u

I think you should consider a Spino before a Rex as Spino is better for prime runs. It can easily get prime for taming the Rex

Since rexes are fairly slow when they're wild, try my method: Use a pteranodon or something that flies fast, make him aggro on you, fly away, jump off, shoot in face, jump on yer bird again, fly away,repeat..

Be prepared...

50 / 100 arrows incase you miss

Good armor incase it bites u

Bring enough Kibble

A fire or fur armor incase its cold

1 quetz optional but will make life easy if u hover above and shoot

Spikes to surround once out cold

Build a 3x3 stone foundation on a raft, replace the foundation where you sit to control the raft with a stone hatchframe and hatch. Put stone walls 3x3 tall on the back of the raft, using 2 stone window frames and a stone doorframe/door on the bottom most lair. Put 2 stone…

There is a blind spot near the tail of the Rex where it's turning raidus won't allow it to hit you, and you circle the Rex and stay in the blind spot it will go down. Good luck!

Depending on where you're downing the Rex in question and what you have at your disposal, a fairly tall stone outpost tower or on the back of a quetzal have worked wonders for me. However, depending on your landscape and resources luring it towards a cliff to where it…
