Just run with a crossbow or a longneck with tranqs there slow so if you have some levels into speed you can easily outrun them.
I got mine named it blurk cause he was blue and if you want tips get him to munch on some brachis and knockout from afar
Honestly to tame a Rex it’s pretty easy for me at least I did the lazy method which was to find a hill or mountain and just knock them out from there with either tranq arrows or tranq darts don’t matter just get alot of them just in case. And if you have a hard time finding Rex’s go near mountains or near the shores that’s where I mostly find mine or one other spot is near the volcano where you can find them
I tamed a Rex by bringing 3 prime meats. Burg then again it was level 17 and I used 3x soothing palm. Anyways, when trying to tame a Rex grab 60 of the green arrows 100 “ocnotic” and knock it out. Best wearing flak armour, and having a escape. Also The Rex groups are mainly found in the cold area’s. But beware the Rex has large topour. And be sure to bring beds.
If you are going to go hunting with it, it’s best to just wait until you are on the right level and get enough materials to make a saddle and ride it. If you can’t wait till then, definitely don’t hunt near water or the ocean at least. On my first day of my first Rex, I got carried away, got on my Carno, and started to attack a Brontosaurus. It retreated into the ocean and my Rex chased after it, then a surprisingly big swarm of Megs attacked my Rex and I couldn’t save without getting out alive. It managed to kill a few Megs, but it wasn’t a match for all of them. My point is, if you want your Rex to live, think before you are about to do something with it.
I got Rex arms yesterday because i saw two brontos vs one Rex
Guess who won
Best way I've found is tranq arrows + crossbow + Griffin and hover just high enough to where it can't get you and be in a place without alot of other creatures. It'll stay below you and you can shoot "through" the Griffin down at it until it starts to run. Then just switch between flying and shooting.
If you do encounter a Rex I would put on your best armor and take out some good weapons if you have at least maybe Bary you should be fine just my idea hope you like it
Is you have the materials to make a large bear trap, taming pen, and longneck rifle with darts just lure it with a flyer and use prime meat or kibble for an effective tame i got a level 50 today on the mountain. I hope you found this helpfulGood luck!
To tame one of these when you are not on a high level, just stand on a cliff or some place they can’t get you then shoot tranq arrows at it or tranq dart or anything that involves tranq then after it has been knocked out go down there get any type of meat and a few narco berries, wait, then you got a pet Rex (:
Everyone says: do IT in a mountain. But you have to look out tgat the rex cant climb up. They are good climbers and have a large hitbox. I've lost my saber who couldnt climbe because het was too small and died to the rex, (i followed him a couple seconds later)
A level 15 and below you can simply just shoot and run from then tame it this is a great tactic if you are early game.
If u have ascendent bow and aim for the head t rex will go down in no time
25 fence foundations, 30 door frames(all stone,) one behe and one behe door. Aet trap walk rex in. Shoot at your leisure. Tame is fast on evo weekends(x2) with mutton. And all I do for that is knock rex out and build a small 22x1 with walls out of thatch and go get an ovis from highlands(rag) or wherever they spawn on your map. Bring it back. Drop in pin. And play the waiting game. I use a chainsaw for harvesting(you get a lot that way)
6 pillars on top of each other. 6 ladders to get on top. Rex will aggro but won’t break pillars so just shoot tranqs from safety of the pillars. Should be easy tame for low level rex if you got the prime meat.
Just tamed one with a crossbow, a rock, a flier, tranq arrows, minor balm, (towards the end) and normal raw fish and meat, turns out these are pretty easy to tame as a male. Now I need to go tame his girl-

Pro tip as soon you as you get large bear traps you can tame a rex so easy all you got to do is place 3 large bear traps in a row get the rex and try and put him in a the row of large bear traps then shoot him with tranq arrows
Its easy to tame a rex or any dinos that are not fast runners
heres some tip
1.tame a tapejara put a saddle then shoot the rex while you and the tapejara is flying
2.shoot it with tranq darts/arrow or toxicant arrow
3.if its torpor running land then catch it or just change seat in front or back but you must make that your tapejara is following you or else it will land.. but dont worry tapejaras wont lose stamina if you change seats it will just regain some stamin
4.if its knockedout put some walls so nothing attacks it or just kill some predators that are near in the rex or it might disturb you from taming it
5.if tamed put the saddle then have fun :)
6.if you accidentaly hit it you will lose some taming effectiveness and a bonus level
