What are tips for rex? Tips and strategies for rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Taming these amazing dinos is pretty easy, as they are slow and don't bits as fast as a spino. If you have a Bird with 2k health or more you can use it to tank the rex and shoot tranq arrows. Or if you have 126% speed you can just run and shoot (which is what i do). if you're at a place with q lot of Rocks i would suggest running behind the larger Rocks and then tranq. Once it's down you shouldn't have to wordt about anything as their torpor drops very slowly and nothing But allos attack them when their down. When you get a 110+ put your first points info health until 15k, then 2k stam and the rest into melee and you have yourself a alpha Slayer.
Build a roofless taming pen near a Rex spawn and kite it in with a flying mount. Close the doors and shoot with darts.
Just run and shoot with tranqs easy way :) I tamed mine like that if you have friends you all tag him and he'll just keep running after someone while the others shoot him
I myself have leveled my movement speed to 138 which is able to outrun wild rexs even raptors and a lot of other stuff. And I did that for the sole purpose of taming stuff like a rex cause I just shoot it 1 time then reload as I'm running then just repeat till down. It's actually easy to solo tame one if ur movement speed is high enough. And you only need 125 speed to out run a rex so if your tribe is looking for Rex's but not on a lot like you are do this and an easy solo tame with enough resources
So I tried to knock one out with tranq arrows and I guess The Rex can fit into a cave because I am not dead in a cave
Get on a high cliff and shoot tranqs in its face.
Get to higher ground, try to shoot down at him where he cant reach you, use large bear traps to keep him from running
Long rifle tranq darts and good armor is all you need and not be scared to die....... take it like a man
Did anyone else see the first Jurrasic Park movie? It broke through a steel fence. You think your little stone trap will contain him? It won't. He is coming for you.
Make sure you have tons of meat just incase you have twins like i did....ugh.
What I normally do is fly back & fourth on a Pteranadon, hop off, trank & repeat!
Find a ledge and sit on it and just snipe the Rex until it is unconscious If it runs away use a pteranodon to chase it and land then fire at it a few more times a's It runs tI finish it off.
Defianetly Takes Way More Then 86 Arrows if The Gates Are Placed Right It Wont Attack It Just Tries To Get Out Also The Gates Are Better On Flat Land Or The Tame May Walk Over A Gate
Get a boat. Build 9 foundations in the middle and celings around all sides. Then travel to a place with a whole lot of rexes these have someone training it around then someone shooting it with tranks. Use tranks it's not worth using nark arrows. Then once tamed put the tames Rex on your boat and travel back home
Make a 6x4 stone or metal foundation base. Walls 3 high with gate for an exit. Put ramps on one side and pick up some prey with bird and kite it into the pin. Make a small tower to stand on outside to shoot rex. Also have spike walls to lay down in front of ramps so nothing else walks in and also some spikes to put down around Rex's head if it clips thru walls
Best way to tame most things actually is have a friend and an Argy and just shoot it from the sky and knock it out.
Use a raft 3x2 to tame. You can easily remove it from any other dinos for a safe tame. I usually like to take it back to my base to tame it up.
build a platform for your quetz. then have someone fly you over the top of the rex and begin shooting it. the rex will try toget to you but wont succeed. once down, land and pump it full of narcotics or narcoberries... then add the scorpion kibble
Have a tribe member hold you while on a Flying mount (Pteranodon,Agrentavis) and hover above the Rex and shoot it with tran'qs. When it's down, get spikes and surround it with them. Make sure you have a way to get in and out for any reason.
If you see one in night and your in river going from west zone near the dead island to valcano and you see one and think the coast is clear it's not a raptor jumped on me while I pulled out my sniper rifle and helped rex kill me
