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

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!

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.

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…

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

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

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…

If you want to tame a rex i reccomend going to the carno island

Reason: it has one of the best and most frequent rex spawns+ has alot of argentavis+ carnos for constant prime meat source

You need 4 stone dino gateways

Place three in a U shape and a large bear trap in the…

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

Once you reach a certain level, you can usually place the 3rd side of the triangle while kiting on foot. Just watch for the knockback when it bites you.

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…

Found a 140 near a river on New mobile its one of the rivers near the volcano and it had a alpha next to it that gave me a Mastercraft metal hatchet and nowi gotta prepare my thyla before I tame the beast it's also a male so I'm kinda lucky

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)
