What are tips for rex? Tips and strategies for rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
After me and my friend had just escaped valgero (Ben wiped 3 times). We go to rag and we are starting our with our thatch base and we hear a roar and the base disappears and we see three level 150 one of them tek and I went back to the island
I don't know what patch they released this on, but the Rex now does 15% more damage to herbivores than carnivores. Like so everyone can use as much exp as they need on melee :)
When taming, turn off ark music and play reality check through the skull. Trust me, it works.
Hover just above it with a Quetz then just hop off, stand on the Quetzs' back and tranq it! SIMPLE! Happy taming!
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
I tame one at lvl 50 and it was lvl 80…….
Took me three hours to tame
So I had decided to move my main base from a really nice area to living in a snowy mountain, and just tamed my first ever Rex (WOOOOOO) and since I’m lazy and the only two ways down aren’t too big well one is a death mission for a pack of wolves, I literally just get to my artifact of the immune farm (I don’t feel like running caves) and I get an artifact of immune and get to my base which is at the blue obelisk and I go to the obelisk and save make a save if I don’t get the potent powder I just restore my save and I keep going until either A I get an eerie pistol (WHY SO RARE) or B I get potent powder which is much more likely and once I get the powder I put it into the inventory of my Rex and I start increasing his levels and put it into health until it reaches 10k-20k and then put the rest into strength so that when it’s maxed out it’s the most feared thing in the whole multi verse.
They spawn in the redwoods mountain biome, and the snowy mountain biome, and carnivore island. Basically they really like mountains.
Get on the back of an argy and shoot it down. Then circle it (dont be near it as nothing will attack it, it will attack you and hurt it) , then wait for it to tame. I hope you found this helpful!
I got a rex… FINALLY I CAN CONQUER THE WORLD the rex is high level 145 im so happy :) ark aint always so bad but the i hate knocked out creatures despawning but i got a rex and thats all that matters
Get something that can face tank the damage and go ham with tranqs
The boxing method mentioned by others is very useful! I trapped a level 92 Rex in the box and it took under 20 tranq darts with the basic longneck rifle to knock it out (most were body shots before I started aiming for the head, I’m not sure if headshots increase torpor quicker). I killed some baby dinos beforehand and had my hyeanadon hold the prime meat in the craftable meat punch saddle. The tame bar goes up by over 20 percent for prime meat each time it eats, and 9 percent if it eats raw meat. The guide says the Rex’s TORPOR reduces quickly, but it DOES NOT. I did not need to put any narcotics into the Rex throughout the entire taming process. Have fun, you got this!
I remember on an official pvp server me and my tribe mate were chilin with our sinos on lost island and a lv 180 black female rex with blue underbelly and red pattern attacked us. Lost out carno pair and a couple of raptors, but eh it was worth it. We named her glitch. :) also for details on how we tamed it we air striked it with out sinos with tranq darts

It’s the easiest thing on earth to tame anything on scorched earth just get any kind of flier and land on a rock near it and start shooting.🦖🪨🔫👍
Best way to tame is on a taming boat.
Once knocked out you can move the boat away from shore. Dino might not agro on the Rex, but will agro on to you and if you're near the Rex, could accidentally hit it.
I know hundreds of people have already said this, but get 4 stone gateways, and a large bear trap. Put three of the gateways down in an open box format, and the large bear trap in the center of it, lure the Rex of choice into it, and once it stumbles into the trap, carefully get behind it and place the final gateway and now the Behemoth is stuck, just load a bunch of Tranq Arrows/Darts into it and tame it
This rex is strong
Really really strong and powerful
When it's down all you should be weary of is the players
