What are tips for rex? Tips and strategies for rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I’m not sure if the developers did anything about this already but if you go to lost island and go to the “Boskar Meadows” region, you can find level 400+ rexes there. However, you really need to search for them. Good luck trying to find one.
Uh I just discovered an extremely cruel way to gather large amounts of raw prime meat on mobile. I hatched a Rex egg and got twins, but after checking their stats I realised they were not the best (their dad tamed out at lvl 202 and their mom tamed out at lvl 209 but the babies were only lvl 201). I decided to kill them cuz I was running out of tame slots. Afterwards I ate their dead bodies with my wolf and found out that my wolf’s inventory is filled with raw prime meat. I immediately turned on my industrial grill and cooked all of it. The 2 baby Rex gave me a total of 128 raw prime meat... that’s like as much raw prime meat as an alpha raptor would drop from each one of the babies. So yeah if you really want easy raw prime meat and don’t care about being cruel you can try to get multiple breeding pairs of Rexes and kill their babies...
FIRST TIME BREEDIN I GOT A MUT!
You’ll be fine with taming this as long have you have high ground, their roars don’t have any effect on you or other animals, so don’t worry about that. Bring about 150 tranq arrows and get onto a high rock (I couldn’t find one so I just stood on top of some random server players tower and shot at it from there) and just continuously shoot at it, then once it starts running you might have to get onto the ground and chase after it, still shooting at it, until it’s finally knocked out.
If you just so happened to be taming this thing in the chalk cliffs on valguero like me, make sure there are no armadillos or ankylos around the Rex , because if the Rex gets knocked next to a herd of them, they will all start to attack the unconscious Rex and all of your hard work goes down the drain. Their torpor goes down pretty slowly and I didn’t need any narcos, but I reccomend bringing a few just in case.
These things are so easy to tame, i tamed about 5 of them
How to tame:
- Get a crossbow
- Get tranq arrows (40-100)
- Find a rex
- You don’t need a trap, a fast dino can outrun them (Dino’s like Iguanodons, Raptors etc.)
- Knock it out
- Tame it (Even Raw Meat will tame it, it takes longer. I recommend using prime meat)
- And boom you got a Rex
Use a 4x4 stone platform with 2 high stone door frames all around make a ramp on one side and lead it in. Enjoy your Rex.
They roar and make you poop. Then they most likely kill you. Correct me if you think I’m wrong.
In the artic I saw a Rex on some ice there was two I sniped one and killed it right above them there was a flat cliff I got a Rex from snipping it on the cliff we’re it can’t get me
My way of killing a Rex is to grapple to a high place and shoot it from up there
I tamed my rex using a crossbow and 40 tranqs. I had really high level speed which I used to outtrun it and keep shooting it. It did kill my favorite trike on the way though so rip.
Honestly I had more trouble taming a dire Wolf than this guy. Just find a cliff and tranq him. I was at a low level and used tranq arrows (level 32). If you are a noob, I believe in you!
Place 3 dino gates in a |_| formation, agro it with a flyer, fly over you gates the land so it goes into it, then from your mount place the 4th dino gate behind it. vwalla.. you have it trapped. xrex take more darts/arrows to KO. so bring extra
1:tame a few scorps
2:make kibble
3:tame a 150 with kibble
4:up only health and you got your self a turret tank better then a turtle
good tame for bosses use 14 stone pillars for a easy trap
They are fast but can’t get on tall rocks
is anybody else out there always having an spyglass looking at the tranq amount then gets the arrows plus 3-5 and boom
so for the standard tranq arrow u can look at it and make like each arrow 100 so for something with 2309 u need 23 and then plus the extra it’s around 26-28
i often use tot this way bc i kinda live on an raft with my triceratops and an otter but so while the otters food always get bad bc fish, i can just jump on edgar(the triceratops) and get the berries needed but when i’m finally high enough i will use intoxicating arrows except for small breed or things with low health
Spin wide circles around it it’s turning radius is horrible so you can get tranqs off on it
I was about to be killed but my spike barriers helped so much they were the wooden ones up if this helped to kill the rex
