When comparing this to a spino, consider your own needs!

A spino is more versatile than a Rex, and the spino has small stam drain. The spino is a great swimmer, and has two stances. Basically, 2 legged stance is good for dps and rotation on-spot. 4 legged, the spino can run faster than the carno or raptor. The spino also has a water buff.

The Rex, in comparison, has almost 2 times the health of a same level spino. It has a poop roar, and has bigger spawns. The Rex is easier to tame and uses fewer narcs. It is great for bosses (not the titans). Spino AI forces it to use 4 leg weak mode, which makes it squishy.

Use the Rex for bosses and armies, and use spino for solo mount and overall

I just knocked out a lvl 145. I used the four stone Dino gate trap method, and it worked well. I recommend bringing two crossbows for that level of Rex. Your first will break after around seventy to eighty shots. A level 145 takes about 100 arrows, but I recommend bringing fifty more, just to be safe. You don’t need narcotics if you can get ahold of prime meat. I’m currently working the crap out of my ptero attacking brontos, paracers, diplos and carnos to get the meat. So far it’s going well. I’m only level forty seven, too, so it’s kind of difficult🤣 but if I can do it, so can everyone else. Good luck, fellow early game Rex tamers!

on scorched at around 75 lon 75 lat only rexes spawn, use this to your advantage

Just try to tranq it on foot and don’t let it bite you

to the person who said if you should revive the rex, try tidy save it mays respawn him.

Got a Rex saddle at level 50 I am mobile player and tamed on Rex from the Griffin mountain easy peasy

Who else thinks the rex should be bigger. Like in real life the giga was only 3 feet taller or so bigger than the rex but in ark it twice it’s size!! Also in real life the rex could easily kill a giga , much unlike ark. In other words the giga should be the short one and the rex should take its rightful place as king of the ark! Also the giga should be around the same size of the rex and the spino and a tamed rex should be able to kill a wild giga

Rexes Can’t break stone, with this in mind you can actually lure one into a trap, preferably 6 by 6 foundations and 4 walls high with a doorframe foundation if you’re going on foot, which you can easily do because rexes are actually reaaaally slow

Use shock darts for the x-rexes, anything else will take years.

Found a level 395 rex on lost island at the grassland areas below the volcanoes. It was a natural spawn and I was able to tame it successfully (on a single player). Seems to be a glitch- but apparently people have seen levels up to 800.

Hope you found this helpful

You don’t need a trap just get to a mountain and shoot it it’s easy I tamed one doing this it’s really easy

One of the best and most efficient ways to tame one is use a large wood signpost or a metal signpost literally one of the best traps I've used get it to by a decent tame that has good health and try to place a bunch of these in front and around it to trap it and back away and it will just sit there and bam rex tamed

In 2018 it still works the same as in 2015. Stand on a rock, and shoot it. Then, just breed the tamed ones.

These guys are honestly super easy if you have an Argy with decent stam. Just pick up a Parasaur of something likewise an carry it to get the Rex’s attention to follow you into a trap.

if you’re staying on old ark mobile instead of the new one , make sure you don’t leave it when you’re taming , they keep dissapearing mid tame on me if i don’t stand and watch

Controls on switch!

R2: bite

L2: roar

I'm saying this NOW AND NOW ONLY, the following is the same for all Tek saddles

R1: toggle shoot mode

R2 in shoot mode: fire!

Last: trike

Next: megalania

If you want one look in the mountains or snow and once tamed put it in a cry pod and take it back to bace

Found a alpha Rex with 3 Rex’s and a alpha carno at my base when I logged on. I now have no base left

DONT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO SAY NOTHING WILL ATTACK IT!!!!!!! Mine died because a murder turkey attacked it right as it was finished taming that is an hour I will never get back thanks a holes

Easy:

make sure you have a getaway, a couple stacks of meat, and a ton of tranq arrows(or darts)

stand on a real tall rock

shoot it to make it come to you (with rifle or crossbow)

once it’s stuck at the bottom of cliff (or rock) shoot it with TRANQ ARROWS(or darts)

repeat until it goes unconscious

get off and place your meat in inv

wait half an hour and you got the most popular apex predator in the dino kingdom
