What are tips for rex? Tips and strategies for rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
The rex "box" is much smaller it seems and mostly consist of its feet and lower body so they will fit through small dino gates...my rex raft has about 9 foundations sinked into raft in the shape of H with 3 pillars holding a 5x5 platfom,2 gates and 2 high doors the rest of the way around the outside...with the last 4 i have 2 platforms off the back for shooting smaller game, a bed and a fireplace for the north...it may have been fixed but rex use to just chomp boxes through walls so i dont use boxes...i use a frog or raptor to lure in because they are quick and can jump or fit between 2 stone doors stacked
I suggest 2 people
If you capture some dinos knock them out and let them get back up it will starve out without narcotics , you just have to knock it out again when the starve timer is close to empty and put food on , note that the Dino must be trapped and not feeding when awake 😀
Headshots don't count
Build a taming boat with two high walls and ramps then drive around untill you find a rex stick em in there drive to a better location nock it out n tame it (perfect englisch from germany (: )
If you're alone and don't have a quetz you should keep in mind that rexes get really easily stuck. Just get him/her to a nearby rock which is high enough and it usually works out, but make sure you keep a flyer close to you in case you need to reposition. if this doesn't work then you can try standing on a cliff and shooting down on him.
Have 150%+ movement speed (the higher the better) and just tranq it will a crossbow and tranq arrows. Run away when it comes close to you and hit it again untill it's down. You shouldn't get hit. This can also apply to taming any creature. If you don't have enough movement speed to outrun it then use a mind-wipe Rockwell. Simples =)
Once you have the Rex knocked out you are better to just start the timer and leave it because nothing aggros to a Rex so nothing will attack it other than other players. I usually knock it out and go back to base make the kibble etc or do whatever you need to do for two hours then go back narcotic it up and repeat until the starve timer is ready and it is ready to feed (: same goes for a giga! Enjoy!
Headshots dont count so just try for body shots.
For solo tame, make a trap boat that is two walls high and a second boat with a tower. Lure it in on foot if you have beds on the tower raft. Lure by bird is easier. Knock it out, move it away from shore and safely tame.
Bring extra and be prepared tbh I just tamed a 150 Rex and even though it says on thing on here it's recommended but I spent more than 4 hours starving time for this Rex always be propared and efficient
Easiest way we found to knock it out is to use either your best crossbow with tranq arrows or longneck Rifle with tranq darts, having one of your tribe mates carry you on a Ptera or argy. The key here is to always be aiming in the same direction as the person on the bird when shooting, otherwise you may end up shooting the carrying bird with the tranq arrows or darts. This method allows you to get a better vantage and more head shots which are more effective in knocking the animal out.
So i found i high level rex near a cliff i want a rex! But i want an allosaur more but all the high levels keep getting killed but when i keep hitting the rex it keeps ignoring me! I have an ascendant crossbow with tranqs prime meat an argentavis and a soothing balm and the rex went into the swamp and got killed by a paracer…… WHY DOES THE OVERSEER/GULA BEETLE HATE ME??!?!?! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
I melt these guys using an ascendant sword and my high melee damage
The Rex roar stones a lot dinosaurs but the spinosaurus is stronger than the Rex
