What are tips for rex? Tips and strategies for rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I had to knock out a 135 rex out with a slingshot. On day three. I had used my crossbow, two other bows, and all of my tranq arrows. I had absolutely no choice, but to knock him out with a slingshot. It took many stones and tears. But somewhere around 150 stones wasted, I knocked him down fed him, and he was tamed.
This things are OP. In valguero, the only things that can kill it once it is tamed are gigas, rock golems and wyverns. But if you have a Rex and you don’t see any of these nearby, don’t worry at all. Pls up if you think this is true
Easiest tame ever u need 15 to 50 tranq arrow depending on level and a 700 hp iguadon or gallmis (seriously) with a crossbow run and hit him till knocked out feed it anything u got wait here is ur rex and after u get 2 u have a infinite rex factory ( a spino is better but harder than this to tame in early time)
Place 1 stone foundation near the rex you want to tame, (not too close) then 1 doorframe and door, both stone. Then place 3 stone walls around it. Add an extra layer on top of the base structure of stone doorframes then cap it of with a ceiling. Shoot the rex to get it’s attention, then run inside and the rex won’t be able to hit you, but you’ll be able to shoot it. This trap also works for Spinosaurus and dire bears.
Don't die...... but for real you can just go somewhere it can't get you and spam thank arrows til it gets knocked out.
There easy tames no traps needed just use a tranqs and crossbow rifle optional
Correct Rex in a cage and then shoot it with 40 shrink darts
Get a friend with a flying mount and let him hold you as you shoot it in the face. Then build a wall around it.
If you are looking for a high lvl then I recommend u to go snow biome it has the highest spawning location of rex there will be chances of a high lvl rex to spawn if it didn't then kill the rexes u dont want to tame and go far from that place wait a few minutes and there will another rex repeat this process untill u got a rex of your desire
A tek rex snuck up on me while I was trying to find a safe way to tame a tek stego -- honestly, taming the rex instead was an excellent idea.
She was only a level two when I tamed her and gained no levels (I had no prime) but she was easily tearing apart trikes and other tough creatures on the way back to my base without facing hardly any damage. Keep in mind, she was only level two!
I had never tamed a rex before, but I don't at all regret it -- I can 100% see why they're so popular. They make excellent tanks for any kind of fight, and are fun if you (like me) just feel like running around and murdering everything that moves.
My only issue is the stamina consumption. I would suggest not running -- it drains stamina in mere seconds and isn't much faster than the walk, as far as I can tell. I'm upgrading her stamina but it'll take a lot to combat the stamina consumption.
I've only had her for a short period of time, but I already love her!
They can be found at forests redwoods and mountains
If you're using a taming pen for rexes, build it at least three walls high. Sure you are able to keep it inside the two walls high pen, but an especially cheeky rex might climb out of it, which is definitely not going to end well for you.
No need for traps. Get a crossbow with tranq arrows (fifty if yiur by yourself and 30 each with multiple players) get high ground or tank hits like a beast, and fire away.
Why do big carnivores attack almost every thing they see? i found another high level rex i lead it to a cliff with my spino i put the spino on the cliff but the rex attacked carnos and the carnos killed it… just why? do big carnivores hate everything? irl they aint evil or have anger issues they just kill for food but in ark they attack anything even when theyre not hungry i hope wildcard adds a hunger feature for creatures so carnivores dont have anger issues in ark 2
If you want to find high level rexes ho to the snow biome, trust me.
I built a base and went to go look for prime meat to tame this super cute compy (don’t blame me I know you all do too!) and then a Rex spawned near me, I ran as fast as I could but got eaten, and now I respawned in my base with the compy in it and I hear giant footsteps coming at me( the base is made of wood) pray for my compy and my base😔✊
Here is how I did my one.
1. Go to Carno island.
2. Locate your Rex.
3. Use a raptor to make it Afro on you and run to the small cliff on Carno island.
4. Make sure you are at the top of the cliff and your Rex is at the bottom and shoot at the Rex
5. If the Rex somehow manages to get up the cliff. Just get on a raptor and run of the cliff(don’t worry, it’s not high enough to take too much damage). Run around the cliff fast enough so that when you get to the top the Rex is still at the bottom.
6. Repeat until knocked out.
P.S. there are better ways to do this like using a trap but this is how I did mine so this is kind of a cheap way of doing it.
Anyway happy taming!
