How do I kill a rex? rex encountering and battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Never enter the tundra without fur armour, which is pretty obvious. I’ve had to avoid a alpha rex in the tundra and proceeded to die of frostbite.
ouch
Oh man. All these stories of death are about spinos and gigas, but, my rex drowned. I tried to cryopod him but he died just before I could. I’ve made a grave for sharptooth. On the beaches of the river he drowned in. I shall forever miss him. And my other rex, sharptooth II, will carry on his legacy. All the others seem phony when they ask for upvers as a
RIP. All I’m asking is to check if your rex if he/she’s encumbered or out of stamina before a long swim. :(
If you just started and there is a rex and you have a dodo pick it up and throw it at the rex the dodo will save your life R.I.P that dodo
I got killed 29 times so stay owt of range
Tamed one level 9 and it had more hp than my level30 spino
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
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)
Rex’s need to take wide turns to be able to attack you. If you find a golden spot (roughly between his back legs and stomach), you can basically play ring-around-the-rosie with them, and attack them in the process. I recommend not using a dinosaur to do so, may be too large to hit that golden spot and the rex may be able to hit the dino.
If you see a rex and your level 30 and you have a gun and bullets tame a pt and fly up somewhere it can't get you start shooting and pray a raptor is not behind you
Okay these guys are INSANE!!! I had to outrun one on foot once and climbed a cliff and thought I was safe but the rex CLIMBED THE CLIFF and killed me and another time I was walking but ran right into a rex but luckily it was more interested in a para that was nearby so yeah avoid these till you are lvl 50
(How to escape) craft yourself a super duper grappling hook, grapple a tree (high out of the rexes hitbox) now pray to God for your life, and plea for you life to the Rex.
I killed one at level 1 MwAHAHAHA I AM SO POWERFULL
(had some help from 4 brontosauruses)
TAKE THE L REX
If you see an alpha do not approach if you own any dinosaurs,if you do please put your dinosaurs inside their pen or your house. I learned from experience it was not fun….
Just head to Carno Island at the northeast of the map. If you don't immediately find one, just murder everything in sight until one spawns lol. I recommend using a high dps Argie to delete the island's ecosystem.
If your looking for an alpha I always see them in the snow on the island
JURASSIC PARK LIED!!! Do not be still unless you want to be killed
If you are a beginner, and you find yourself in a predicament, where a Rex is chasing you down here is what to do; 1. Scout, once it saw you it will roar, look everywhere that might get it stuck( Rocks, trees, ravines) or run through rough terrain!
2, vigilence if you here distant stomping, the Rex may still be following you, this leaves you with the same options as before or try to run around the beasts favourite food, it might take that opportunity rather than just a snack. (Parasaurs trikes or any herbivore that drops medium poop)
3. Prevention, Rex unlike any other creature releases a distinctive roar, being a raspy kinda like this; RAAAAAHHH or it’s primary roar ; roaA -A-A. Not very good at saying roars, but after you hear the roar, check your sorroundings as when it roars it saw something and is gonna chase it down until it eats something, that something will vary time to time, if you see a Rex stay away from it unless you have a decent mount, and or weapon!
Taming; wanna tame one of these beasts? I’ll tell you my way, step 1. Prepare, do not use melee weapons, as they do a lot of dmg per hit, so I recommend tranq arrows, and a decent ranked crossbow, remember all Rex’s regardless of lvl always have more than 1000 torpor, so pack a lot of tranq arrows, also pack scorpion kibble or prime meat for a quicker tame, prime works well as well. Step 2 the hunt, rex are commonly found in open areas; volcano, arctic, mountains, and plains) I recommend a flying animal put it on lowest follow, and fly arround till u see one. Step 3. The Knockout, the objective is to get as much tranqs as you can without it hitting you, so shoot it until I gets close then hop on your bird and fly further away to continue shooting it, once it runs get off you mount and chase it down while shooting it, once out put the taming supplies in its inventory! Ther you go you now have a Rex! Up if helpful
Use stone trap and keep distance with tranq darts.
I was on Fjorder with my brother and was on Vannaland south which was supposed to be easy but we found 2 rexes and a tek one.
If you see the Rex and you’re nothing but a chum with a spear I recommend you run into the woods; he might not see you but if he saw you your last hope is jumping off the cliff and pray there is spino-free water below
