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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Just having a Rex in your base will encourage people not to mess with you on a pvp server. Regardless of level, Rex are a scary thing to see (and remember, people without telescope have no idea what level it is till they get closer than they want to be, so even a weak rex will scare off anyone yet who's yet to find crystal

Spinosaurus’ overall stats are better than rex’s

But only rexes can wear tek saddles and armors

Make it faster so it's more threatening like the hunted mod because if it's slow it's just an oversized XP pinatas

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
