What are tips for rex? Tips and strategies for rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
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.
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
Once me and my cousins found one we were scared but we got our dinos and completely destroyed it so it not that strong
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
Just use three stone gates and a bear trap and make sure the trap is in a triangular position and then get Rex to follow you get in the bear trap and then like always place a gate behind it and also to make sure the bear trap is near the of the trap between the two gates
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.
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
