What are tips for rex? Tips and strategies for rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If u see a Rex and u a noob then just get as close to your home as you can then let it kill u then when u respawn just tranq it and shoot it in da head a bunch a Times. Or if u bola a tribe mate and let it eat them u can pretty much take it down while ur distracted.
When you encounter a Rex, craft a ballista turret and a chain bola on it and then go for it to kill or tame.Tip:put 10 stacks of raw meat and raw prime meat.Remember, raw prime meat tames them faster!
If you have a raft put a ballista with chain bolos on it and chain it then run
I got a peteranodon with 1,5k health and around 500% meele and some Meat to forcespeede it, I took some 150 rexes out its Barrelroll is really strong cause IT cant't hiT you
Lead it to a group of brontos and they’ll handle it from there.
Honestly, I thought they’d be harder to tame! In solo mode I just used tranq darts, ran, shot, ran, and repeat. Easier than I thought! Just make sure you stay with them though. They take a while to tame and will need to be protected. I killed 6 raptors, 4 carnos, and a couple scorpions while waiting
I tamed one today with this strategy! You only need some stone pillars and that’s all!
So firstly I placed the pillars in a line with a little gap just so I could shoot through. Then I placed more pillars so it made a box with one side open like a U shape .
Secondly I hit the Rex once and it aggroed on me while I ran and trapped the Rex into my cage. It didn’t turn around but instead tried to break the cage (So I didn’t close the cage) . Then I shot normal arrows onto it because I didn’t have any tranq.
After a while it should turn around and run away. I followed it and wacked it with my bat for around 15 seconds and it became unconscious.
Finally I tamed it in around 15 minutes with only 10 dizzying potion (I forgot what it’s called but it’s the one which heals you and makes you unconscious)
And that’s how you take a Rex with a very low level! You don’t even need tranq arrows! I hope this works for you I took 8 minutes writing this so I will appreciate the upvote!
Easiest way: using stone build a 1×1 bunker 2 floors high. Second floor walls should be all windows. Once you've done this, lead the rex to you, get inside and crouch. Now just tranq the hell out of it shooting out the windows.
Ran into a level 13 female alfa on the way to the volcano
Get of a Ptera, get the rex to aggro on you, find a cliff, and shoot down at it with tranq darts until KO. Keep an eye out for any raptors or other little dweebs that'll knockdown the efficiency.
if you are fast enough, you can actually just run shot run shot the rex (tested this on low lvls and always worked)
Using your pelagornis fly to a safe distance and land then run up on it using a crossbow and tranq darts while you're back peddling hit it with darts jump on pelagornis and repeat
85 latitude 80 longitude is a good place to find some on the island there's usually one or two
If you find one near a mountain get on the mountain and it will just look at you (it might try to climb up if it’s a small mountain/Hill ) then just shoot it in the face with dart tranq arrows etc ( just be careful of other dinos that may be on that hill or maintain with you )
On carnivore island on the island it gets stuck pretty easily. Easy to lead into trees to get it stuck just make it follow you to the tree area. I hit it twice with Tranq arrows then went in with my frog and used its topor attack easy tame. The hard part was protecting the tame for the time nessesary to tame it.
If taming on the redwood mountain, use the trap method it saves you sooo much stress as it stops the rex from nearly eating you when you get stuck on a boulder and then running away right near to a thyla.
i used thycacoleo climbed up a cliff - where It couldn't eat me. I used my long neck rifle and tranquilized then fed it narcotics and raw prime meat/raw meat
Rex's are slow to turn, with 130 movement speed and 200 health I can solo tame them on foot just stay off to the side rear of the Rex also I do it in basic flak
