I just tamed a level 135 of these on mobile ultimate, and it’s stronger than my level 80 carch that just got killed. Really sad about the carch, and I will be taming another, but the Rex is a great stand in! Always loved this beast.
Rex

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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…

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…

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 you vs brood mother don't use rex use a spino because of the water buff in the cave an when you vs the yeti use a rex then for the dragon 5 high level allos and 10 rexes and 5 deodans
When it's down all you should be weary of is the players
“Run!” Okay I probably sound like every Jurassic Park/World character to ever exist, but seriously, they’re really slow, you can do it! Unless it’s alpha, then you’re screwed
Always best to trap a rex unless using a tek bow or similar as they run when their torpor is almost done!!
Be sure to take more than you think you need when taking a Rex just in case you have to let it wake up and restart the tame. Has happened to me multiple times.
Don't be scared these are very easy to take/kill you just need a crossbow to take out a low/med level one

Just keep running and looking back while shooting but if it’s a high level don’t run just accept your fate :)
A trap will be the safest way.rexes can kill you in 3 hits so if it kills then you dead use a trap tranq it and knock it then put some food in his inventory you have a rex that's a killing machine
DONT GO TO BLUE OBLESK (common knowledge)
Me:Let's go to the Dead Island
Rex: I'm about to end this man's whole career!
Dont use flares it wont follow them
If you have high movement speed 125% + you can "kite" the rex and shoot him. If you don't have a pteranodon and fly with it every time you hit the rex.
Try to not get hit. The rex does insane amounts of damage and can kill you in a few bites if you don't…

Good Luck
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
If you can’t get the most recommended tame for each boss, this is one of your next options. Also pair with a yuty, and if in a snow boss arena, use a otter. Happy Rex hunting!
