Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Fr tho... The cheapest but most dangerous way of taming a Rex is to find a high level tame that you can access your weapons from. I use Thylacoleos and level up their health and stamina so that I can get the Rex to chase me while maintaining a safe distance and get a couple…

Today I knocked out a lvl 45 rex. DodoDex said it would take me about 40 tranq arrows from a crossbow. I shot about 15 arrows and it started running. 5 more shots and it was down. DodoDex said it would take 40 shots. I shot him 20 times and it went down?? Does it have any head…

I like building an argy trap to tame these, just get 5 behemoth gateways and two doors, line them up on the mountain with gaps in between so u can run out as it chase u in, one problem is u need a tribe mate on the other side so they can close the gate as u lead it in. another…

If you run into one then run to a deep body of water then swim to far away from the rex and you can head back but till you can get it's weak point then you can retake your shore!

Quetzal bombing- the act of riding a quetzal into the air then standing on its back and tranqing a Rex. (or annoying beast) use this to your advantage!

You can just tame it with 2 Stone Gateways. Just place one and lure it in. While he is stuck in that gateway place the other one somewhere between his arms and his legs. Now he cant get out.

Just so you know use dotame not forcetame for dotame acts as if you actually tamed it and can't ride it right away

I encountered Rex and luckily I have tranqs n bows with me and I also made a trap for any dinos its lvl.100 and in still lvl.23 is there any other way to get saddles not only just leveling up?

It would useful if the Rex could bite with a tek saddle instead of the lasers and can turn it back on and shoot

If you run into one unprepared look for the nearest bronto or anything the can put up a fight and run to it and hope to make the enemy of your enemy a friend so you can escape

Never try to kill a red without traps .play safe and have a quetz with a platform saddle or scale a cliff and arrow it to death from above.being alone with no help or tames or traps with you will leave you dead by the rex

When your trying to run from a rex dont bola your tribe mate that's just selfish. Just use a bear trap, it lasts longer and your teammate will at least know the time spent making and placing that trap in the place you did. Anyway it'll probably distract them long…

It Walked over my metal spike walls. Killed it with no tames. Thank goodness for tek. PS. They spawn where west meats snow. When i went on my sarco first no T rexs. Second time Ong so Many jellyfish

I put my tamed red outside my base and targeted a wild dodo I brought in. It couldn’t get in. I put it in my base on wander. Just came out right after putting him wander Aggro and he’s out. Really? Lol.

Don’t underestimate this creature. I found a level 3 battling 5 argies, s pack of hyaenodons, 2 kentros and 4 anklos all at once.
