What are tips for rex? Tips and strategies for rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
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
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)
Always use shocking tranqs cause they maybe do a 1000 torpor if u are high enough level up so everyone doesn’t have make a crap ton ordinary tranqs.
Rex’s need to take wide turns to be able to attack you. If you find a golden spot (roughly between his back legs and stomach), you can basically play ring-around-the-rosie with them, and attack them in the process. I recommend not using a dinosaur to do so, may be too large to hit that golden spot and the rex may be able to hit the dino.
If you are in early to mid game and you want a Rex try to find a decent level one with a baby then kill it. It won’t be as good but it helps a lot.
Wile taking a Rex just use a trap it’s the most effective.
This guys are good at pvp fight this guy are really really great health damage and tanky? Well as you know he is already hard to kill without saddle what if with saddle? Well that’s kind of like takes like 25 shotgun shots especially if the trex is max level you tamed now get ready the saddle for you Rex to become unstoppable
If you see a rex and your level 30 and you have a gun and bullets tame a pt and fly up somewhere it can't get you start shooting and pray a raptor is not behind you
Okay these guys are INSANE!!! I had to outrun one on foot once and climbed a cliff and thought I was safe but the rex CLIMBED THE CLIFF and killed me and another time I was walking but ran right into a rex but luckily it was more interested in a para that was nearby so yeah avoid these till you are lvl 50
4 wooden dino gates was all i needed for one of these babies. He took my otter i took his freedom
Just get a few of your boys and light that hoe up its not that hard really don't build gates and waste time just tranq that sucka
Como domar um rex fácil (eu acho que é fácil): primeiro, prepare as comidas (recomendo kibble, mas pode usar mutton ou prime meat), então monte uma trap, a que eu usei foi uma de 4 stone dino gateway e 1 large bear trap, primeiro coloque 3 gateways em formato de U com a large bear trap no meio, então chame o rex para a armadilha, precisa ser a parte aberta, quando ele for preso na armadilha, coloque o ultimo gateway por onde o rex entrou, depois desmaie ele sem ficar muito perto, quando ele desmaiar, coloque a comida no inventário dele e não deixe ele acordar
The Rex bite force is very high
(How to escape) craft yourself a super duper grappling hook, grapple a tree (high out of the rexes hitbox) now pray to God for your life, and plea for you life to the Rex.
