This or a Giga? Only the best know

How to tame a Rex:

The rex is a large predator, it is moderately fast but is tanky and does some real damage. It is mostly found on non-snow mountains, excluding white sky peak and frozen fang. It spawns after you clear its kins, so you can go around killing low level Rexes and wait for high levels.

How to tame:

200 tranq arrows will be enough, but I bring 300 just in case I find something else(u never find what you’re looking for in ark).

No narcotics bc Rexes tames are pure wait but bring it loads of prime. Have cooked prime just in case but have narcs if you tame on cooked prime or worse.

Method 1 safari tame

A 130% speed and around 300 health some levels in stam as well.

U just run, and turn and shoot. When it is catching up, circle it as they have abysmal turn radius. Just don’t get hit and repeat the procedure. A pt is good as you fly away when the Rex is close and land and shoot when it is farther.

Method 2 trap

Bring 4 stone dino gateframes and 2 LARGE bear traps.

Make a I_| shape with the gateframes and place the traps in the middle.

Use a flyer to lure the Rex in and quickly place another gateframe in the opening so that is is a cube O shape. The Rex is trapped.

After you knock it out, place a simple bed and sleep. Starve your tame!!!!!! Get prime in the process and when the timer ends shove about 50 prime meat down its throat(less if its low level use Dododex)

Uses: Tank

Harvest: gets tons of meat hide and prime

Boss Dino

Army: very tanky and does great dmg.

Have creative ways to use your Rex such as taming tanks.

Hope you enjoy your Rex!

This is basically the go to choice for almost all the bosses.why? because its the one of the best for fighting bosses especially forest,ice and megapithecus, because point you probably don't have a giga at that point,it has high HP and high damage and if you breed it up..it's gonna crush the weaker bosses.if you want to add up the damage output of the Rex with the yuty then sure you can do it if you're willing to go into the snow and possibly get ambushed by purlovias.

So my experience with this beast was horrifying but I knocked it out it took so much tranq arrows it took 30 tranq arrows and I ran fast with the Brontos because there were lots of dinos with the brontosaurus then it was attacking the other dinos then I shot it a lot then it fell asleep because the thing it was attacking a a tank it was an ankylo so that’s my experience with a rex.

The Rex eggs are 33 in the egg incubator

Lead it a cliff and make the cliff colapse then run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Four huge metal signs put them into a square and put the fourth one in after the rex is in, it works.

Who else wishes they would add it so we cans put thanks in AR’s

I have some rexes in my single player u have to be very careful when trying I tried once I got arrows and the bow broke so I used a sling shot and it knocked out put some meat in it and I had a rex!

Ride your Iguanodon, use other dinos as bait and just shoot it with tranq arrows, darts etc. Add: you can knock it out while on a cliff or when it is stuck other is using a large beartrap. Always bring your escape dino with you Incase something attacks you.

I’ve killed 90 of these with a primitive sword and 500 health

How to tame: get tranqs and meat and some narcs and bear traps. Spot a Rex. Watch Rex get eaten by spino. Tame spino instead.

To be honest spino is easier. It costs Less narcs meat tranqs and levels for saddle. It is more powerful then a Rex on its hind legs. I don’t want anyone to be mad but the Rex is weak compared to the spino. I suggest skipping the Rex. Unless you have a tek rex saddle I would never tame one. Tame some yutys and spinos instead. -lava

The best way to tame it is to stand at a high point the shoot like any other dino then build around it a spike walls and let its food level drop near half while keeping it unconscious with bio toxins(make sure to take enough 70 just to be safe)

You can even explore a little around then when its food gets near half feed it any kind of meat doesn’t have to be prime and it will be tamed under 30 sec

Be careful when taming these guys in or around the swap. Leeches, if nearby, can and will attach to them after they're unconscious, and you can't remove them until after the dino is tamed. Beware the leeches.

I saw a Rex near where my base is and I didn't want it to get closer so I took all my stuff out of my inventory and I ran up to it and led it to a Wolly Rino but it killed the Rino than I just led it further back so it wasn't as close to my base it was just a level 4 with a thousand health but I didn't really have great tools so I led it off!

I found the best way to tame aggressive and more dangerous creatures is to use Tapejara (saddle acquired at level 55). They can land on high and vertical surfaces while still allowing you to shoot. If the tame is not close enough to the ledge, I suggest shooting it or Argo-ing it to follow you. This method helped a lot i was able to easily tame a spino and Rex.

Build a pillar out of stone/metal foundations, about 7-8 high and shoot the rex from there. Keeping rex down won't be a problem unless you tame it with fish or just raw meat. Tame it with prime or mutton, and you'll get yourself a nice rex.

Well I don't know if it happen in pc because I am good with mobile control and play ark mobile but for me rex is soo much easier then taming spino you just need a high place where rex can't reach you and hit him with treanq arrow or tranquilizer dert until it got unconscious then just feed prime meat it won't take lot narcotic 10 is enough for me I didn't even needed narcotic I tamed a mex level rex without narcotic

You can find these bad boys in the mountains, snowy parts, and in the red woods. Use around 30 tranq arrows/darts to knock them out. Feed them raw prime meat or raw meat if you have the courage to wait and boom got the king of the dinosaurs.

Low levels are easy, get on a high rock and have a bow with tranqs and a spyglass (to watch its torpor) and when it runs away it will be knocked out. (I did this on carnivore island)
