RUN for your life, or kill it with a PTE
If you trying to tame it like a real man you walk up to it hit it with a club and then lead it off a cliff then you use your crossbow.
You can use metal billboards and a bear trap.
Fun fact
Rexs and Yutys have the same stats in the stat calculator!
I find that the best way to knock these out is to get a quetzal and stand on the platform while in the air. It has basically no sway so aiming will be easy plus you can bring along a ballista to keep it still with the chain bola. Be sure to bring some cooked prime meat :)
Large and beefy, these lizards are known all around the community for one thing: BIG DAMAGE. Rexes will take out just about anything you want them to, only losing to the greatest creatures. Rexes aren’t rare either, if you know where to look. (Pro tip: the more north you go, the more rexes you might see!)
Find a cliff that it can’t climb, get the high ground and shoot it with tranqs.
If you have a good speed stat it’s fairly easy to knock it out. Just run n gun and you can knock it out. No traps are needed as long as you can keep a distance while shooting.

If you don't have anytime for make a stone trap, use wood instead, but you must make it bigger or double it. So the Rex will take a time for destroying your structure. (Don't use thatch because Rex can destroy it in 3 bites!)
If you're having a taming pen made out of stone (or else) on a WOODEN raft, don't use it for a rex.
It's great for a LOT of dinos, but a high level rex will destroy your raft to dust (and all structures attached to it, no matter what they are made of) before you knock him out.
They are very easy to outrun even on a basic level, I had three around my base at the beach and I just swam deep enough into the water and they left me alone. You can also run past any animal bigger than you and it will be distracted and leave you alone.
Tutorial on how to tame a Rex without trap:
1.find it
2.make it follow you and jump to the high ground
3.make sure the Rex won't be able to walk up to that high ground
4.shoot it with a lot of tranq arrows (crossbow recommended)
5.it gets unconscious and you can buy a minor soothing balm in consumables of amber shop which costs 10 ambers
6.feed it raw or raw prime meat or raw meat (you don't need to use any narcotics if you used the minor soothing balm or feeding it raw prime meat without any soothing balm)
7.congrats,you tamed a Rex.
Does anyone know if you can trap the rex with a net projectile?
these guys are scary early game, but i can tell you right now these guys arent hard to tame.
i literally just tamed a level 14 by flying up to a big rock and shooting her with arrows, passed out in no time. i have to wait another like 13 levels until i can ride her though
They are so easy to tame because they are idiots so just stand on a cliff and knock ‘em out for they won’t move or try get to you
Up if useful
So uh, i attempted to tame one, it went down okay, it had 102hp left, i fed it some narcotics, as i was gathering narco berries when a random theri spawned on my boat right next to the downed Rex and chunky (my sarco) so of course it attacked my sarco and killing the Rex in crossfire, and yeah I killed that theri with my bare hands for it. So please when you go to tame one of these, stay close and watch out for theri’s.
