When I was level 20 this thing was a piece of cake to kill
It’s really not that hard a tame. Trap it with stone gateways and a bear trap. Knock it out with maybe over 100 tranq arrows. (Which aren’t as hard to get as you may think). And BOOM! You have your self a rex. Oh yeah and feed it some kibble, for best taming better stats AND less time for taming. I would say it’s a medium tame.
When your taming your first Rex I would suggest to trap it with STONE gates And also feed it prime meat
Low key just grapple to a ledge that it can’t reach, shoot it with tranqs (I use darts but I suppose arrows or shocking darts work to) and then when it gets to a high torpor and starts running chase it down either by yourself or on a dino while shooting it still.
Nop I was wrong and tel Rex’s have a little bit better stats up
What arrows or darts should I use and why
EASIEST AND CHEAPEST WAY TO TAME A REX
1) Tame a good stamina or high health pteranodon, argy or tapejara
2) Make 4 metal billboards with cementing paste and metal ingots
3) Find a rex, have the billboards in your hot bar and circle around the rex while placing them around(You can also do it easier when they roar)
4) Stay back and tranq it out
5) If you are in an unsafe area it is also nice to surround the rex with wooden spike walls when it’s knocked out
Good Luck taming!
If you are fast enough, you could walk backwards and if your melee weapon has enough range you can just keep getting the rex when it tries to bite you. Probably best if you use a pike.
Tek rexes have a 5% chance to spawn instead of regular rexes and are 20% better
Build a Stone Pilla trap what didn't work then when the Rex is chasing you hide and wait the the Rex attack the trap. When he doing it SHOOT HIM WITH ALL YOUR TRANQ ARROWS. (sorry for bad English)
During Easter event on mobile I found an Eery Alpha Rex. It looks cool.
I have never seen one of these in scorched earth.
To tame this bad boy is very easy, i will tell you the most easiest way to tame more then one if you want!
1 build a raft
2 build a cage on the raft that is made of stone. Build 6 rock foundations in the front of the raft then build 3 stone roofs for the floor, because this part will hang over the raft then build the three front walls on the on the raft with stone door frames, do not build on the side you drive the raft leave that only 2 door frames high! Then build the ramp to from the low back part then you have completed your portable Trex trap!
3 look for a Rex on the beach or close by
4 then lead the rex in your trap
5 tang it and tame it!
The reason you build the portable trap is you can take it back to base and tame it there so that way you have all your resources in one place to tame it good luck!
I tamed a lvl 150 with 50 tram arrows
It wont aggress you when you are riding a mount
A tribe mate and myself brought hundreds of arrows due to the X-dino increase to damage resistance. Turns out after doing some research that they dont need 3x the amount of arrows they just take longer for the torpidity to raise high enough. I would recommend bringing a spy glass when taming X-Dinos.
Throw your EX at it and run believe me works everytime
Thumb wrestle the rex for max taming efficiency. But if you dont win the rex will taunt you in front of your other dino. And its pretty embarassing.
Many people overcomplicate how to tame these— it’s a lot simpler than you think!
A good Daeodon mount with points in Health (and a lot of meat) can tank most Rexes while you keep tranq-ing away on piggyback. They’re decently fast too, so they can keep up when the Rex starts running. Just watch out for Purlovia or Microraptor, or else you’ll become the Rex bait!
I tamed this monster using a crossbow with tranq arrows, and 3 large bear traps...i almost died taming it. but it's kinda worth it because i tamed this powerful creature...
