Tips & Strategies

What are tips for rex? Tips and strategies for rex in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
*walks to Rex* “see it’s tamed” says my bro John “ok...” I said *rex chomps John to pieces” other tribe mate starts to run. *I bola tribemate and run away leaving him to die*
Now some people overestimate the rex.It’s actually pretty easy to tame.So there are hundreds of tutorials on taming rexes that you can find on the internet.
You can make traps to trap them and then shoot them with tranq arrows or darts.So what I do is:I build a really tall tower out of stone pillars and then I build something to stand on on the top.Then I just shoot the t-rex and since it can’t reach the top or break stone you can easily knock him out.
You’ll also need a lot of tranq arrows,a few hundred will do.And also a parachute so you can come down safely in case something goes wrong.And I forgot to type this but make ladders to come up and down from the tower.
One of my techniques that helps survive, is to not fight or engage with any animals at level 15 or higher. Try it, it works very well!
Punch with Fists and feed it raw meat, easy tame. (may include Head being torn off)
I tried the triangle formation of metal dino gates as per one of the top tips but that didn't work. What did work for me was a four wall box of stone behemoth gates and then kiting the rex into there with a flyer and then closing the rex inside. Make sure you placed the gate box near a high boulder so that you can land there and tranq the rex from above.
This guy is annoying for me because whenever I try to knock him out he always goes into the water😞😞😞
Many of the people here are saying to just go and shoot them. Just do it. I would agree. When if tamed mine I was scared that it was to fast, but you can easily beat it while sprinting. shoot it, run away, repeat. easy. Tranq arrows will work fine just bring enough. And be prepared to make more just incase.
Get a friend with a flyer to pick you up, then fly over the rex and tranq it
The rex I was gonna tame died to a freaking BARYONYX! Of all things... I feel like killing everything
I Tamed one at level 21 I stood on a cliff and it got stuck and I shot it with a bow and tranq arrows it was level 195
You may say in lying... but I managed to kill a Rex with a dodo. (with about 55 pieces of C4)
What arrows or darts should I use and why
BOSS REX’s
For gamma bosses I recommend:
Hp 10K
Md 600
With 50 armor saddles.
For beta bosses I recommend:
Hp 15K
Md 1.2K
With 80 armor saddles.
For alpha bosses I recommend:
Hp 35K
Md 2K
With 120 armor saddles.
Buff your rexes with a yuty and optionally heal them with a pig. 100% imprint provides 30% more damage given and damage negation when the imprinted rider is riding.
I don’t recommend rexes for bosses that deal fire damage as carnivores take increased damage from it.
All of these estimations are assuming you are solo on official rates, the more people in the fight the lower the rex stats are required to be.
I tried to tame one *100* and I did not succeed because my kibble rand out and it’s torpor was low and when it woke I ran for my life. DO NOT RUN OUT OF KIBBLE
So I have a Rex and a spino, however when u target something, the Rex doesn’t attack immediately but the spino does. I’ll try get the saddle anyways
To the person that said real men tame these with tranq arrow and a cliff… REAL MEN TAME THESE CRITTERS WITH A BOOMERANG ON FOOT (thank lord I didn’t accidentally kill Fox Trot my rex lol)
This guide is only for low level rexes
Step 1: get a crossbow with about 15 tranq arrows
Step 2: find a Rex
Step 3: run away from the Rex and shoot with crossbow
Step 4: repeat until unconscious
Step 5: insert raw meat into inventory and wait doesn’t need narcotics if low level
Step 6: enjoy your new Rex
If you want to tame one of these pretty early, its actually quite easy that you can even do it on foot. Just a crossbow and atleast a stack of tranq arrows is enough (I recommend 2 stacks just in case). Just make sure to lure it into a nearby herbivore and it'll attack it instead. During that time just shoot it until it pass out and there you go, all you have to do is to feed it and wait.
The best way to kill a Rex is if you have a bow and arrow and enough arrows house and you get up on a high rock you can kill one of these things with ease trust me I’ve done it
