What are tips for rex? Tips and strategies for rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you have the difficulty up to 1, you can find level 150s COMMONLY In valguero's boreal forest.
I tamed a Rex by taking my pteranodon and landing on a rock where the Rex couldn’t reach me and shooting it with tranq arrows until it ran away, then chased it while still shooting it until it fainted. Make sure to take plenty of narcotics to keep it unconscious while taming it though. Up if helpful!
I had a level 70 stegosaurus and tried to kill an alpha trex. Let’s just say the Rex had a snack.
Lol I was trying to tame a level 100 and it got stuck so I hit it with 20 tranq dart and 50 tranq arrows and it did not go down so I used a sling shot that I had laying around and I hit it 50 times and it got knocked out
SpInOs ArE bEtTeR
one ☝️ is one spino lover
So you wanna tame a Rex here’s what you need
Couple hundred arrows or darts
Some prime meat
If a high lv then make a simple 3gate trap place the in the form of a triangle with a bear trap at the middle lure it in close it in and tranq it out ezz or just tame a spino
If you are getting chased by a T. rex then run in front of a long neck or something bigger than you
Rex is an easy tame if you can get a beezlebufo the gaint frog just hit and run with tranqs while on the frog rex will never be able to touch the frog coz you'll be able to jump real far and shoot the tranq when the rex get close jump again to keep distance then shoot the rex to sleep by continuing the process the frog can be used to tame almost any creature whether land or water
BOSS REX’s
For gamma bosses I recommend:
Hp 10K
Md 600
With 50 armor saddles.
For beta bosses I recommend:
Hp 15K
Md 1.2K
With 80 armor saddles.
For alpha bosses I recommend:
Hp 35K
Md 2K
With 120 armor saddles.
Buff your rexes with a yuty and optionally heal them with a pig. 100% imprint provides 30% more damage given and damage negation when the imprinted rider is riding.
I don’t recommend rexes for bosses that deal fire damage as carnivores take increased damage from it.
All of these estimations are assuming you are solo on official rates, the more people in the fight the lower the rex stats are required to be.
Im on mobile,level 59 and have a rex level5 it has 1100 health its color is green its damage is160 percent and tip raw meat helps really good if you don’t have raw prime meat.I knocked it out with 13 tranq arrows red woods.
*walks to Rex* “see it’s tamed” says my bro John “ok...” I said *rex chomps John to pieces” other tribe mate starts to run. *I bola tribemate and run away leaving him to die*
130 X-Rex took me 242 Arrows with a basic xbow.... then i resorted to punching it unconscious.... 3x what dodo says to bring.
Easy Rex trap:
Requirements,
1x large bear trap (optional)
4x Dino gateways (stone or higher)
Steps:
Place the first 3 gateways in a U shape with some space between because the Rex is fat.
Then place the bear trap in the middle.
Then find the Rex and lead it through the open part of the U shape.
Once the Rex is in place the last gate (this is much easier with the bear trap but not impossible)
Then happy taming! 👍
If you want to trap other large carnivores this same trap also works. (With gigas use metal instead of stone) 🦖
Shoot them while they attack a diplo. They will stay distracted as the diplo plays with it without harming it!
They are actually really easy tames People are always like oh build a trap oh du du du du NO all you need it’s a Tanky parasur and some tranq arowws there then just wait 2 seconds before shooting again
I tried the triangle formation of metal dino gates as per one of the top tips but that didn't work. What did work for me was a four wall box of stone behemoth gates and then kiting the rex into there with a flyer and then closing the rex inside. Make sure you placed the gate box near a high boulder so that you can land there and tranq the rex from above.
How to Escape this Rex get a Mammoth and wolly rhinos get more arrows / 50-20 arrows
One of my techniques that helps survive, is to not fight or engage with any animals at level 15 or higher. Try it, it works very well!
Punch with Fists and feed it raw meat, easy tame. (may include Head being torn off)
