Don’t bother making a trap, run on foot and tranq away or get on a fast creature that allows rider weaponary (baryonyx, thyla, etc) traps are only good to make sure it doesnt drown if near water

3x3 foundation, normal gates on each side except for one side, lure the Rex in, get it aggro against an Argie but don’t let it hit the Argie, then place last gate behind and done! Hope this helps.

Incredibly fking strong,

Especially when Fully imprinted with over 450% attack like mine that dealt 3,044 to the training dummy and one shotted a level 20 therizino

One serious drawback is their hellishly terrible stamina.

Never enter the tundra without fur armour, which is pretty obvious. I’ve had to avoid a alpha rex in the tundra and proceeded to die of frostbite.

ouch

If you just started and there is a rex and you have a dodo pick it up and throw it at the rex the dodo will save your life R.I.P that dodo

I got killed 29 times so stay owt of range

Disclaimer: if you are on any other platform besides old mobile then ignore this tip.

On old mobile these things are neutral to all tames, meaning that if you try to lure a wild rex to a rando's base to be evil and they have all their tames set to passive, then that's not gonna do anything unless you manually aggro the rex onto you then tank each hit with your tame and the dude's tames in the rex's hitbox until something dies.

This also means that if a rex is near your base it won't be a huge problem until it is practically walking on your tames and your structures, in which you will have to kill it before it gets aggroed on you then starts attacking things in its way.

This also applies to gigas

However if you try this on any other platform including ark use you and your tame will get chomped up as wild rexes are aggressive to all tames.

Oh man. All these stories of death are about spinos and gigas, but, my rex drowned. I tried to cryopod him but he died just before I could. I’ve made a grave for sharptooth. On the beaches of the river he drowned in. I shall forever miss him. And my other rex, sharptooth II, will carry on his legacy. All the others seem phony when they ask for upvers as a

RIP. All I’m asking is to check if your rex if he/she’s encumbered or out of stamina before a long swim. :(

Ok I will say this I did die one time but I did not die the 2nd time:) I tamed one with a boomerang that’s all you need 🧐and I thought Rex’s were strong

If you are on mobile trap it sleep in sleeping bag then tranq it fast so it is hungry

I used this to beat strong cave. Needed cryoing a couple times but worked well

Tamed one level 9 and it had more hp than my level30 spino

If you see one, and are trying to fight or knock it out, i recommend going to a ledge above the rex, which in where it spawns can happen, make sure to use a good level longneck or other powerful tool if you want to kill one, and relocate if it gets close (they are not too fast). To knock one i recommend tranq arrows or darts (arrows if you have a good crossbow, they cheaper) and if you knock it just feed it prime meat or mutton, wait and then you get a Rex. If you have a tame that can outrun it you could relocate much easier

4 Dino gateways and a large bear trap. Got a level 135 down with about 65 tranq darts!

I know this has nothing to do with the Rex but don’t you think that ark should make it so that you can make weapons and armor from the artifacts and each artifact has their own power and use. Don’t you think that would be a good idea. Try and let ark know about this

Lure it in with hopes of food then wake it on the head with a club it will submit to you forever

The safest way to find and tame a rex is to go to the winte- south zone 2 "alley" with the river that intersects into a swamp and another river that eventually goes to green ob

If you are playing casually and you pass through this area a lot one should spawn because it isn't rare for them to spawn here.

If you find a rex and it sees you it will start to prioritize you for a moment but if you have enough tranqs and movement speed you can run far enough away from it so that it will attack something else instead, then you can tranq while it is attacking the other creature.

If you don't you can just use a pternadon or anything thats faster than a trex then just dismount to tranq.

After you knocked it out you can get prime meat from stegos, diplos, or carnos that spawn in this area.

Easy process to find a tek rex on the island in UME:

1. Go to carnivore island

2. Bring a strong tame that can decimate every creature there (i usually bring a carcharo cuz it can 1 shot almost every creature there)

3. Kill any raptor, sabertooth, carno, argy, and rex that spawns there and continue for as long as you can until you see a shiny, metallic rex that looks robotic

4. If you're on singleplayer, then here are some bonus tips:

4a. I recommend backing up a save file every time you see a supply crate reach the ground since every time you enter your game a supply crate will be guaranteed to spawn near you shortly after. (You can also use this to farm keys since you wont need fo fly miles at a time to check every supply crate since if you're at carno island every supply crate that spawns WILL ALWAYS be on carno island unless you leave) If you can't kill everything on carno island once before the first supply crate reaches the ground, then back up a save every time you kill a rex or 2.

4b. If you find an alpha raptor, carno or rex and you need better gear you can back up your save and then kill the alpha to have a chance to get hide armor, sickles, pikes, metal axes, metal picks, crossbows, bows, and finally simple pistols (sorry this doesnt include swords). Chitin armor can also drop from alpha carnos and alpha rexes, and when paired with a high enough difficulty level and good enough luck, you can get a mastercraft or ascendant piece of chitin armor that can be stronger than a primitive flak piece (100 armor)

May I just say if you are on a cliff and see a red shoot it with frank arrows in the head. I’m only level 30 and can’t believe that I have a rex. This red is a beast, he kills like a monster. I would just watch out for Therizinosaur.

Spinosaurus’ overall stats are better than rex’s

But only rexes can wear tek saddles and armors
