What are tips for rex? Tips and strategies for rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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 want to tame one of these pretty early, its actually quite easy that you can even do it on foot. Just a crossbow and atleast a stack of tranq arrows is enough (I recommend 2 stacks just in case). Just make sure to lure it into a nearby herbivore and it'll attack it instead. During that time just shoot it until it pass out and there you go, all you have to do is to feed it and wait.
To the person that said real men tame these with tranq arrow and a cliff… REAL MEN TAME THESE CRITTERS WITH A BOOMERANG ON FOOT (thank lord I didn’t accidentally kill Fox Trot my rex lol)
This guide is only for low level rexes
Step 1: get a crossbow with about 15 tranq arrows
Step 2: find a Rex
Step 3: run away from the Rex and shoot with crossbow
Step 4: repeat until unconscious
Step 5: insert raw meat into inventory and wait doesn’t need narcotics if low level
Step 6: enjoy your new Rex
Why are they everywhere on the CENTER MAP! Seriously they’re everywhere!
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) 🦖
When you come across a Rex and it is trying to kill you. Try to find a near dino with a high level or any level really. To make it distracted,so you have a chance to get away from it.
One of the best Dinos for base defense, meat runs and guarding your team in general. We have two in our tribe, within the first few hours our female laid 5 eggs. One is level 86 and the other 161, never have had to worry about them in battle, they've held their own against alphas, packs of the overrated Allos and many other Dinos that some may consider troublesome.
Best tame, once you get the ability to make a saddle, go an tame one be be prepared to be on the move constantly cause they cover a lot of ground.
Also avoid water combat unless you're in shallow water. I plan on taming a 3rd, They're the best in my opinion. If you can't tame a giga, the next best land carnivore is the Rex, hands down.

Now some people overestimate the rex.It’s actually pretty easy to tame.So there are hundreds of tutorials on taming rexes that you can find on the internet.
You can make traps to trap them and then shoot them with tranq arrows or darts.So what I do is:I build a really tall tower out of stone pillars and then I build something to stand on on the top.Then I just shoot the t-rex and since it can’t reach the top or break stone you can easily knock him out.
You’ll also need a lot of tranq arrows,a few hundred will do.And also a parachute so you can come down safely in case something goes wrong.And I forgot to type this but make ladders to come up and down from the tower.
So I have a Rex and a spino, however when u target something, the Rex doesn’t attack immediately but the spino does. I’ll try get the saddle anyways
I recently tamed a Rex and it was not that hard at all. So if the Rex u are looking for is level 1-15, Then you only need like 30 tranquil arrows. Just find a hill bigger than the Rex and can’t be climed by one, Then get its attention and start shooting. Just don’t let anything eat it when it gets knocked.
This is for new players:apparently base player speed is enough to outrun a wild one,but as a general tip,make sure to level mobement speed and stamina,will always come in handy!
I tried to tame one *100* and I did not succeed because my kibble rand out and it’s torpor was low and when it woke I ran for my life. DO NOT RUN OUT OF KIBBLE
go to carnivore island there are some of them
it took very long to tame it but it was worth it:
u need:
1-3 beartraps (it's possible he doesn't get in one)
much tranq arrows(i didn't count them but it took long)
some meat (i always carry 30 with me to tame a carnivore just to be prepared)
i found two in the southeast on the coast near herbivore island. i placed the beartrap and shot him with tranq arrows then i ran to the beartrap and he got caught i kept shooting him and when he was sleeping i tamed him with the meat
i did this again with the other one

The Rex are very slow . Put a stone gates around him while he is stuck and use a bear trap then put the x3-x4 stone gates then tranq him out . Make sure you clear the area before setting the bear traps others creature can spring it and u would be left with using your self or a tanky dino for a distraction
