Encountering Tips

How do I kill a rex? rex encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
THIS IS HOW YOU EASILY BEAT AN APLHA TREX,
Lure alpha trex into the middle of the ocean by carrying a herbivore app in the talons of an Argentavis (I used a Parasaurolophus) then use an aquatic mount like Beelzebufo or megalodon to bite the alpha Rex to death, with the water mounts increased speed underwater it can easily evade trex attacks
Carea more about big prey than you, so try to run past anything bigger and meatier than you, then keep running. It won't take long to kill whatever it finds. That being said, I did see a Rex take a long while to kill 2 carbonenemy turtles
Dude run rexes are perfectly slow
Bruh, yall wrong. Real men knock this beast out with fist
Um normal spinos give more Xp than normal rex but alphas give more xp than normal spino and spino has lesser health just beware of the spino speed.
So i just found out i have tek Rex near my base
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 was nuts. And let’s just say I had meat for ages.
Incase this helps anyone, on ark mobile there is some near East zone 1
Lost my low lvl rex ( crunchy ) to a higher lvl rex…along with my trike and raptor…RIP
Once I went to tame it. I was ready with everything,when I shot it with my first tranq arrow it died. XC XC XC
I feel like the spawn of these on the island have been messed up since they added the cerato
Why are rexes usually found in the arctic? It’s the coldest place and the most dangerous (besides swamp, maybe).
Just a casual day and oh IT’S A REX FIGHTING A SPINOSAURUS.
I saw an alpha just chilling in the snow area
I just wanted oil not a fight with that 63k hp alpha rex
As you prbly know I ran like U couldn't run
The bread and butter of the Rex is their high Health. A good way to find a high Hp Rex and know it's Hp stat before KO is to ride a mount and use the magnifying glass to see it's health. Griffins, Sabers, and direwolfves are all good mounts to ride while trying to use the magnifying glass on the Rex. Between 7000 and 10000 is what you want to aim for to make it worth taming.
If you don’t know where they live they live in red woods maybe near swamps because I saw near a swamp in north and that it
If you see one, and are trying to fight or knock it out, i recommend going to a ledge above the rex, which in where it spawns can happen, make sure to use a good level longneck or other powerful tool if you want to kill one, and relocate if it gets close (they are not too fast). To knock one i recommend tranq arrows or darts (arrows if you have a good crossbow, they cheaper) and if you knock it just feed it prime meat or mutton, wait and then you get a Rex. If you have a tame that can outrun it you could relocate much easier
For noobs, low level rexs spawn at the southeastern part of the map
Use an assault rifle or a fabricated pistol and aim for the head
Easy process to find a tek rex on the island in UME:
1. Go to carnivore island
2. Bring a strong tame that can decimate every creature there (i usually bring a carcharo cuz it can 1 shot almost every creature there)
3. Kill any raptor, sabertooth, carno, argy, and rex that spawns there and continue for as long as you can until you see a shiny, metallic rex that looks robotic
4. If you're on singleplayer, then here are some bonus tips:
4a. I recommend backing up a save file every time you see a supply crate reach the ground since every time you enter your game a supply crate will be guaranteed to spawn near you shortly after. (You can also use this to farm keys since you wont need fo fly miles at a time to check every supply crate since if you're at carno island every supply crate that spawns WILL ALWAYS be on carno island unless you leave) If you can't kill everything on carno island once before the first supply crate reaches the ground, then back up a save every time you kill a rex or 2.
4b. If you find an alpha raptor, carno or rex and you need better gear you can back up your save and then kill the alpha to have a chance to get hide armor, sickles, pikes, metal axes, metal picks, crossbows, bows, and finally simple pistols (sorry this doesnt include swords). Chitin armor can also drop from alpha carnos and alpha rexes, and when paired with a high enough difficulty level and good enough luck, you can get a mastercraft or ascendant piece of chitin armor that can be stronger than a primitive flak piece (100 armor)
