I just found one near my base wish me luck and any tips

Nobody:

Everbody: Use gates and stuff

Me: *uses a cliff*

OMG, my hands are shaking! I just knocked out one of these bad boys and am standing on its unconscious bony as we speak! I’m so excited!

Wanna tame this dangerous nugget? Here’s how to! As with everything, you will need supplies, I recommend tranq darts, but arrows work just fine as well! Pack at least 100 tranq arrows, or 50 tranq darts as well as a extra tranqing weapon, pack at least 50/80 narcotics, anything between there should be good for a decent leveled rex, max levels should take 140 narcs or toxin, toxin is more affective but might be hard to come by! Now the taming food, very clearly this is a meat eating dinosaur, the best meat for it will be prime or mutton, exceptional kibble works great too! :D Next, Use a flying mount ( if you have one! ) and fly arround! They spawn on almost every map, and are pretty easy to find if your looking in the right place, they like almost every environment I can name a few maps as well as they’re common spawn points! Valguero, they spawn near beaver lake, look up at the green obelisk and to your left should be a moderately dense forest, there should also be a hill with crystals, below this hill is a common spawn point for both Rex’s and Tek Rex! The island, the spawn point for the islands rex is kinda simple, they like the arctic, as well as mountains, anywhere arround there should be some! Lost island, they also like the arctic! Anyway I’ll stop rambling on about maps and get to the point! Ok so theres a simple way to tame these beasts! Since The Tyrannosaurus rex wasn’t capable of running, it was limited to just brisk walking, meaning they aren’t very fast, although being chased might seem like a diffrent story, all you need to be able to outrun one is just 3 points in speed I’m pretty sure! The reason you need to be able to out run one, to tame one is because u don’t need a trap if the Dino you are trying to tame is slow, you just have to be smart, however it’s completely up to you, There are quite a few ways to tame this, I can name a few, Trapping, this is a aggravating task if the Rex doesn’t want to enter the trap, if you are a low level, a trap would be recommended, a Rex trap should be stoned dinosaur gates and gateways, It would also be recommended to have 1/2 large beartraps so it doesn’t get out the trap should look like a like a square with one missing side facing the Rex, this is where the Rex will enter the trap place bear traps near the side opposite of the missing side, this is because when the Rex follows you to the trap, you guide it until u have it almost perfectly aligned to the missing side of the trap, then run arround the trap to the opposite side of the missing gateway, once the Rex gets stuck on the bear trap you quickly run behind the Rex to the missing gate way and very carefully but swiftly place the gate and gateway down! Then tranq it, it will not break out of this trap I don’t think! 2 the open playfield! This is a easy knockout if you have armor and moderately quick, it’s a pretty simple technique, you just have to be smarter than the creature! This involves you running arround with a ranged tranqing weapon with a Rex following you, it’s just Run then shoot, and repeat until it starts running then you chase it and shoot! And 3 easy knockout! Just lead it into a lot of tough terrain so it can’t get to you but you can still tranq it >:D The Higher level the Rex the better! Now the taming, there torpor goes down very slow compared to the other Apex predators of the ark, the best taming food for rex would be kibble, mutton, or prime! They take about 10 to 20 minutes to tame if ur feeling anxious feel free to stuff it with narcs and put spikes arround it and go do something else! You tamed yourself a Well known apex predator! What’s it good for? Well they are amazing tames, and one of best apex predator for boss battles! Amazing for they’re damage per bite, and health! They can also roar stunning small creatures stiff, while the medium sized dinos run for they’re life’s, it can also stun enemy players in pvp or pvx, they can carry a decent amount of weight, and can… somehow “run?” That’s quite a feat for a Rex but once tamed they can sprint! Gather a few of these to breed bring a yuty or two on the team and you got yourself a boss slaying team! >:D thanks for the support, Happy taming! And take care!

Create a 3x3 mobile taming pen 3 walls high on a raft with a Dino gateway on one side and ramps on the other. Use a flyer to lead it up the ramp into the pen then move it to a safe area to tame. I got 2 150s without a single issue.

I use 3 by 3 stone foundation with 2 door frames high on each side with a wooden ramp leading into the trap. It takes a bit of resources but I think it works the best, up for the noobs

When I was a newbie I did not know bolas only work for small creatures….that was a dumb mistake

Just found out they deal more damage against herbivores than carnivores. Not sure on the percentage though.

My speed is actually faster than any wild rex. So I just run for a few seconds, turn around and shoot it in the face and repeat.

TLC patch to be added in March 2018 to add a terrain bug fix that will allow it to not get stuck on rocks and add a roar that will force players (and maybe creatyres too) to poop themselves.

Stay on a high cliff where it can’t reach you while you shoot it

I would think these were gonna be harder to tame but they’re actually not that hard, my stamina and movement speed is pretty high I’d say around 200 or higher but I didn’t need a trap or any of that, all I used was tranq arrows, u shoot it once then run away for a little bit turn around quick shoot it again then run away again and shoot it again and repeat, if it starts running it means it’s almost knocked out just chase after it and keep shooting and feed it meat!

If you ever see one and it sees you here's how you tame and stun it

So there's a glitch in both games where there's a rock glitch

The rock glitch works like this

1st you find a rock

Make sure you can't sprint or walk up the rock

Make sure you can easily jump up and climb the rock

Look for something you want to tame

Get club ( clubs are harder or extreme mode to tame) or tanq ( easy mode) or anything you can use to kill

Find the rex then run up the rock ( PS: this works for any other animal including spinos)

The rex shouldn't be able to run up the rock so you can safely hit him or shoot him also melee is impossible any melee weapon is dangerous and I suggest you don't use them (why: they can still hit you and when they do you get knocked off the rock and have to run) also make sure the rock is big and tall or else they can walk on it

Pt 2 coming at 50 ups

Rexes actually do 15% more damage to herbivores. Credit goes to another tip that said rexes do extra damage to herbivores. (Author note: Idk what the plural or Rex is so I just added es)

A really funny thing you can do with alpha t-rexes is to get a rhynio, lure an alpha t rex to the beach, and get it to swim after you in the ocean. If it loses interest and becomes passive, then get close to it and dismount on your rhynio and it should start swimming after you again. Then when it gets too close you can fly some distance away, dismount, and it will start chasing you again. Do this a few dozen times and you can trick the alpha rex into swimming to herbivore island or any other crazy location since alphas can't drown.

You can also leave the alpha rex at sea then fly away from it until it disappears in your render distance and forget about it since it will never despawn, drown, or even move so you can go to it later to kill it.

Bonus tip: if you dismount on your rhynio, your rhynio will automatically start regenerating stamina in the air after 5 seconds.

Honestly I’m the odd one out... I tamed one with a journey bow and a dire bear. No gates no platforms nothing. Just a bow a bear and patients. Hmph I’m weird

Who ever thinks Rex are not stealthy they are wrong I was trying to tame a para when this thing comes out of nowhere

Don’t be scared of these guys. Just get high ground and bait it with other Dino’s that are around. Ez

Rexes can be found in the forests, redwoods, and mountains.

Don't go near them without a plan learned the hard way
