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.

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.

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

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…

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.

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)

Since rexs are the second best land carnivore (behind giga) I would recommend just leveling it for PvP. Like on all my 150 kibble tame rexs I go for 10k health then 500 melee damage and then put the rest of my levels back and forth between health and damage.

PS: A good…
