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 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.
Go to a high place shoot it with tranqs and feed it raw prime meat don’t do extra
How to tame rex:
1) Get resources:
.Tranq darts (or tranq arrows, I prefer tranq darts) about 10-20
.Cooked prime meat or just normal prime meat about 20-50 raw meat and 10 prime meat( or cooked) (Normal meat will do)
(Cooked prime meat lasts longer)
.4 reinforced dinosaur gateways
.4 reinforced dinosaur gateway doors
. And a Rifle gun (for the tranq darts) or a bow (for the tranq arrows)
2) find a rex
3) trap the rex using the reinforced dinosaur gateways
4) tranq the rex (about 10-20 tranqs will knock it out)
5) feed the rex the meat
6) now you have your own pet rex!
I used this method and now I have 4 females and 2 male rexes!
Have fun and watch out for more tips from me!

There torpor drops extremely slowly
feeding the rex berries makes it food goes down faster
Same with all other carnivores in the game
Get any bow then trap it with 4dino gates
Caught one with a basic stone door frame and stairs trap, only took about 5 tranq darts for a level 10
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!
To tame a rex at low level need 3 large bear traps place them in line. Agro the rex it will stuck in 1st bear trap then start shooting tranq arrows ....then it will stck in second continue shooting tranq arrows ..pow rex is uncounsious .... but its little risky.😁
The safest way to trap a rex is to build a 2x2 square STONE foundation, add 4 STONE door frames on each side, and add four ramps to make one big ramp on the side your going to lure the rex into. Then, just have it chase you into the taming pen you've made, and get yourself out through one of the door ways. The next safest, but a little bit more risky and resource friendly, would be to set up 2 STONE dinosaur gate ways to make an angle, with a LARGE bear trap in the middle, so that once you lure the t rex into the LARGE bear trap, you can place the last dinosaur gate way behind it so it won't get out. Then, use a nock out method of your choice. Once it's nocked out, put your taming food of choice in it's inventory, and wait for it to tame up. No creature of my knowledge attacks an awake or unconscious rex, so you can go far away from it for a while if your in an area with other Rexes.
