Many people overcomplicate how to tame these— it’s a lot simpler than you think!
A good Daeodon mount with points in Health (and a lot of meat) can tank most Rexes while you keep tranq-ing away on piggyback. They’re decently fast too, so they can keep up when the Rex starts running. Just watch out for Purlovia or Microraptor, or else you’ll become the Rex bait!
EASIEST AND CHEAPEST WAY TO TAME A REX
1) Tame a good stamina or high health pteranodon, argy or tapejara
2) Make 4 metal billboards with cementing paste and metal ingots
3) Find a rex, have the billboards in your hot bar and circle around the rex while placing them around(You can also do it easier when they roar)
4) Stay back and tranq it out
5) If you are in an unsafe area it is also nice to surround the rex with wooden spike walls when it’s knocked out
Good Luck taming!
If you are fast enough, you could walk backwards and if your melee weapon has enough range you can just keep getting the rex when it tries to bite you. Probably best if you use a pike.
I tamed a lvl 150 with 50 tram arrows
It wont aggress you when you are riding a mount
During Easter event on mobile I found an Eery Alpha Rex. It looks cool.
Tek rexes have a 5% chance to spawn instead of regular rexes and are 20% better
Instead of using all of those fancy expensive traps just use a cliff or tall rock now you can tame a rex with ez
I have never seen one of these in scorched earth.
To tame this bad boy is very easy, i will tell you the most easiest way to tame more then one if you want!
1 build a raft
2 build a cage on the raft that is made of stone. Build 6 rock foundations in the front of the raft then build 3 stone roofs for the floor, because this part will hang over the raft then build the three front walls on the on the raft with stone door frames, do not build on the side you drive the raft leave that only 2 door frames high! Then build the ramp to from the low back part then you have completed your portable Trex trap!
3 look for a Rex on the beach or close by
4 then lead the rex in your trap
5 tang it and tame it!
The reason you build the portable trap is you can take it back to base and tame it there so that way you have all your resources in one place to tame it good luck!
To tame this guy, there are many ways to knock it out, use a cliff, trap, or on foot if your cool like that. I reccomend a crossbow to knock it out. Once it’s down just stuff it with meat (prime meat is more effective then regular meat and is reletivly simpler to get than kibble). Also make sure to have narcotics or narcoberrys just in case. Once tamed it doesn’t do much, but is extremely good for bosses.
A tamed sarco can easily beat a low level rex

Their not that hard trust me don't get scared by them as soon as you get long neck rifle and tranq darts your ready to go. I waited way too long and didn't get my first rex until level 80 just get an argie fly up to a medium height rock and start spamming tranqs into his head. Need about 20-30 tranqs for a low level rex
A tribe mate and myself brought hundreds of arrows due to the X-dino increase to damage resistance. Turns out after doing some research that they dont need 3x the amount of arrows they just take longer for the torpidity to raise high enough. I would recommend bringing a spy glass when taming X-Dinos.
Throw your EX at it and run believe me works everytime
Thumb wrestle the rex for max taming efficiency. But if you dont win the rex will taunt you in front of your other dino. And its pretty embarassing.
Can be carried by the Rynio. (Dragonfly)
