What are tips for rex? Tips and strategies for rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
So i just found out i have tek Rex near my base
I swear guys I pinky promise swear that I saw a rex get killed by dimorphodons! they flew just above its head and hit it while managing to always dodge its bites. These were wild, not mine or somebody else’s ( I was in single player on xbox) there was only two dimo’s. it was nuts. And let’s just say I had meat for ages.
How to tame a T-Rex for dummies:
1. Find a mountain or forest biome, Rexes usually spawn in these biomes.
2. Head back to base and craft up a ton of narcotics, I usually go with about 400, but I always over-prepare. Also, make sure you have at least 80 tranq arrows, or you might not knock it out.
3. Find a high rock with a flying dino, an argy is perfect, and do NOT underestimate how far up it can hit you.
4. Hit the Rex with your argy and guide it back to the high rock mentioned earlier while it’s aggro’d, hit the T-Rex repeatedly, and go for headshots.
5. The Rex will wander away from time to time during the process, make sure to hop back on your argy and remind him who’s boss. (Aggro him again)
6. After it’s Torpor is high enough, it will eventually flee, don’t get too close to it, but follow with it with your argy, landing and firing tranq arrows occasionally.
7. It will eventually knock out, and you will NOT want to put any food in its inventory yet. Instead, put it on a tracker and monitor its Torpor from time to time. Now would also be a good time to go and round up some prime meat, which is an excellent, easy-to-get food for the Rex.
8. Return to the Rex with your prime meat, (a little extra never hurts) and feed it some Narcotics, to raise its Torpor again. By now, it’s hunger should have dipped a considerable amount, and now you can put the prime meat into its inventory.
9. Protect your T-Rex while it eats up, some creatures will attack it while it is KO’d.
10. Enjoy your T-Rex! (And make sure they have LOADS of food in their inventory at all times)
He can take up to 90 tranq arrow and 56 toxicant arrows make sure to but in trap so he can't run he can be found in icey or mountain spot good luck on catching him
I am a noob,level 24, and I knocked one of these bad bois out without a trap or anything.
Explination: I grabbed thirty tranq arrows,thirty-six narcs and went over to a cliff and started shooting it took only 13 of the arrows because #1 im on mobile, and #2 because it was low level.
I hope you enjoyed my lil explination :)
For me, traps are never necessary unless it’s for an Argy, even then, I’ve managed to tame one of those just by using the environment as a weapon, untill it trapped itself without me wasting any resources,
Anyway, I got a 140 level Rex from Carno island tamed by riding my Direwolf and running circles around it, tranqing it without it hitting me except once or twice , easy tame without any traps!.
For me personally I took a ascendant crossbow and it took me 6 shots to knock out a level 60 and sooner or later he will be a happy boi
Incase this helps anyone, on ark mobile there is some near East zone 1
I remember when I first started the game I spent two hours taming a lvl 75 with a sling- then my game crashed and I lost everything-Rip Cruel Tyrant
Just place dino frames like this \_/. Make sure it Is In a plain surface AND when u get the rex into the trap just put the fourth frame behind And shoots it tranqs. Really easy
Lost my low lvl rex ( crunchy ) to a higher lvl rex…along with my trike and raptor…RIP
A good tip is if you dont have enough resources to build a trap from any material get on a high enough ledge so it can’t bite i tamed a 75+ with no trap with an two darts and 40 arrows
Once tamed are great and with a saddle better but they can’t swim well and here’s the big one they take huge fall damage so don’t go thinking jump off a mountain because he can’t it will Die but believe me I tried
If you’re not going to use a trap, I suggest riding a griffin or another flying mount that allows weapons, although taming a high level Rex is much easier with a trap as it ensures it won’t die attacking another creature. My trap suggestion is rather simple. You place down 3 stone Dino gates (not behemoth) in a square shape and hold onto the last one. Then you lure in your chosen Rex with another tame (this is the difficult bit). Once it starts attacking one of the gates, place the 4th behind it, and then happy tranq-ing. Hope this helps you :).
as u can see darts are the most effective. load up, have a friend pick u up in a bird, and fire away. i suggest the spike wall tactic just to be safe if you want a perfect tame! we got ourselves a 150 female earlier today and woke up at a lv 220!!
Some say no creature attacks one which is knocked out, welp hyaenas killed my 140
well if your a low level DONT TRY IT if you are past level 40 this is how it goas
place 3by3 bear trap and 4 stone gates
knock it out feed raw meet and name him killer
if you liked this pleas press the arow that points UP
Once I went to tame it. I was ready with everything,when I shot it with my first tranq arrow it died. XC XC XC
