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

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…

Quick tip cuz I learned this:

It really isn’t that hard to tame one depending on its level (for this example this is gonna be a low level one). For the bare minimum, you’ll need tranq arrows, some kind of bow, and a lotta meat (if we’re just talking about raw meat maybe…

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…

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

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

Me and my big brother tried to tome it with 50 tranq arrow and crossbow and it ran out and I don't know how we tame him after it with sling shot and patience

I was 7 and my brother was 10 so don't think we were idiot "we were idiot tbh"

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

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!!

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

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…

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…

Definitely a must on pvp servers. Good to have a mix between tanks (20k health) and damage dealers (400+ melee). If you have the means definitely breed them for damage buff/resistance. Working on third gen Rex's now :)

Tamed a spino in the center, tried to bring it home as I was flying on my argy and randomly a tek rex spawned in the safe beach area of the map and killed them both after throwing me off the argy with the roar. I cried. Horrible dinosaur. I hate you tek rex
