Tips & Strategies

What are tips for rex? Tips and strategies for rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I found a 145 at level 10 and killed it and got 6 levels from it
Get an argentiveris and shoot then fly then shoot than shoot than fly
Rex’s do have Eagle Eye Vision so watch out for that!!!
I just tamed a lvl 2 Rex and they are extremely slow in water first we tried to use a rock and hit it with tranquil arrow but it was able to climb the rock (the rock was extremely tall and we could only get up it using a ptredon) so we escaped using our pt and found out they are extremely slow in water and we just kept it in water and was able to tame it.
If you are on The Island you can just grab these with a rynio and trap it easily!!
While most people think of a rex as a disadvantage, I think opposite.
1. Tank. These guys can deal quite some dmg before low, along with hp. I fought a lvl 9 alpha rex with my lvl 20 with ascendant saddle, and I made it up to 12/25K hp before I died & refresh my game.
2. High apex. This creature can be safe from most of the islands threats (NOT TERRITORIAL BOIS) meaning you'll be safe for long distances.
3. Lvls. While people say Luling up is hard, my rex levels up fast. It's pretty useful for combat (raptor dues within 2 bites for me)
4. Rarities/Farming. Albino Rex's can be hard, but truly worthy. Mine is albino for example. Female Rex's can give pretty good eggs as well to sustain hunger, or even kibble
5. Grinding. The rex is useful to collect TONS of meat and possibly hide within minutes of rampage. If your team is mainly carnivores, this rex is useful for getting the food you need. They also don't eat much, so it's also very useful.
6. Taming. If you have prime meat or better, it's possible to not even need narcotics. It takes a decent amount of time, but very time-saving.
7. Abilities. The roar can affect most creatures with a low apex lvl and if their lvl is lower than the rex. It stuns them for a short period of time, and sometimes can force them to drop feces. (Bleh)
Now for weaknesses.
1. Low speed. This dino has poor stamina for running, and can't escape fast enough for alphas (like how the alpha rex killed me) along with not recommending long travels.
2. Bad weight. A rex normally has about 500 weight before its basically sad.
3. Low armor/defence. Without a strong saddle or high hp/dmg, your weak spot on a rex grows.
4. Breeding. I never bred a rex, but It must be a pain from research. The egg takes s long time to hatch, and it eats about every minute, along with growth time.
5. Swimming. The biggest weak spot of a rex is swimming. They dont have enough stamina for long trips, and extremely slow in water. It's a good hinting method, but still.
6. Abilities. Above it showed the good advantages, but there's weak spots as well. The roar doesn't affect creatures with a higher apex or higher lvl than the rex, and doesn't affect alphas. Doesn't affect any aquatic creatures either, and some creatures might even target the rex instead of stunning. (Slim chance, but in some worlds its possible)
7. Saddles. Requiring a high lvl along with tons of material is a true pain. It's also very rare to get a saddle from supply crates as well. I tamed my rex around lvl 40-50, and yet the saddle is about lvl 75.
I hope these tips helped your taming for a rex! Pls up do others may see.
It just sad how easy is to tame them
Build 4 Dino gates place three of them in a u lure your Rex in and place the final gate closing it off so it doesn’t get out it helps if you had a bear trap but it’s not really needed as rexes shouldn’t be able to one shot you unless your ho is low and your gear is bad lol
I was lvl 11 and a rex CAME OUTA NOWHERE and I almost died
If you’re in the snow biome, have a decent and fast argy, and a safe place to k.o., this is a pretty simple tame. Get on a ledge, knock it out, and then just kill anything that gives prime. Argies, purlovias and mammoths are just a few of the animals that drop prime. Keep loading it with prime and eventually you’ll tame the dinosaur.
Get to high ground and shoot or escape
I Just Wanna Say The “Go under it and rub its tummy” does not work on mobile or switch
If your on mobile and you complete the dilo hunt persuit, equip your new enhanced bow, find a rex( I normally find a low lvl one), and shoot it to hell, and then you have you new rexbone helmet skin :D NOTE: I actually got ascendant bow)
So basically my tribe were scared of rex and then we made a trap it was 2 stone doorframes high and then we put it in. It was kinda lame when it took like 30 tranq darts, kinda a waste of time if you ask me because it only had like 120% melee and it had 20K FLIPPING OXYGEN
To tame this guy, there are many ways to knock it out, use a cliff, trap, or on foot if your cool like that. I reccomend a crossbow to knock it out. Once it’s down just stuff it with meat (prime meat is more effective then regular meat and is reletivly simpler to get than kibble). Also make sure to have narcotics or narcoberrys just in case. Once tamed it doesn’t do much, but is extremely good for bosses.
Spawned on my level 300 mutated yutys while I was combining the colors and made the babies go crazy
I just went to carno island with a high level argy and started wiping out the raptors, sabers, carnos, and scorpions. Within 10 minutes 2 rexes spawned, one being a tek rex. After clearing out for another 3 ish minutes, 2 more rexes spawned, one being a level 145. Seems like an effective way to find high level rexes Becuase I can’t find them at their other spawn locations around the island.
Make sure to starve it down when you knock it out don't just put your food in there wait till it's hungry but after you give it food don't take it out I will lose taming
