Tips & Strategies
Honestly I’m the odd one out... I tamed one with a journey bow and a dire bear. No gates no platforms nothing. Just a bow a bear and patients. Hmph I’m weird

My speed is actually faster than any wild rex. So I just run for a few seconds, turn around and shoot it in the face and repeat.
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
Rexes can be found in the forests, redwoods, and mountains.
Equipment Taming
1 Longneck Rifle.
Around 200 Darts incase. Depends on lvl
4 Stone gates.
1 Large bear trap.
Place 3 gates next to the large bear trap.
Get the rex attention and run past the bear trap.
Until the rex gets stuck in the trap.
Then place 1 gate behind the rex don't get to close.
Then shoot rex until it knocks out.
This also works with spino
How to raise and tame a good Rex
1. Use crossbow with tranq arrows or rifle with tranq darts
2. Find the Rex a tough opponent to defeat
3. While he or she is fighting, open fire on the king or queen
4. Once the Rex is down feed it prime meat alongside with normal meat in case you run out of prime
5. Use narcotics on higher levels bio toxin might be needed.
6. Once the Rex awakens take them hunting for large dinos and bosses too but they have to be extremely high level
7. When leveling up switch between health and dmg upgrades
Please take good care of your tyrannus. PEACE
No real men knock it out with a club
Step 1.get a bow or crossbow
Step 2.get a crap ton of trank arrows
Step 3.find a rex
Step 4. Find a cliff that the rex can’t climb
Step 5. Lur the rex to the cliff
Step 6.shoot the rex until it is knocked out
Step 7. Feed the rex raw meat/prim meat
Step 8. Enjoy Your rex
This or a Giga? Only the best know
Since rexs are the second best land carnivore (behind giga) I would recommend just leveling it for PvP. Like on all my 150 kibble tame rexs I go for 10k health then 500 melee damage and then put the rest of my levels back and forth between health and damage.
PS: A good 2nd-5th gen Rex can and will kill tamed gigas
Dont be scared of them, get a flyer and make sure to have a high health and stamina, fly at him (make sure its only one or your dunso) and let him take a bite of your flyer once in a while then lead him into a square wall of dino gates with a trap in it. Once he is stuck quickly close up the open gate, laugh at him and shoot him (alot)
To kill:
Step one: get a longneck/crossbow (crossbow takes longer)
Step two: get on a high cliff make sure nothing is around it
Step three: then just shoot it in the head for some reason in mobile it wont see you if youre high enough ive done it my self it works.
I had to knock out a 135 rex out with a slingshot. On day three. I had used my crossbow, two other bows, and all of my tranq arrows. I had absolutely no choice, but to knock him out with a slingshot. It took many stones and tears. But somewhere around 150 stones wasted, I knocked him down fed him, and he was tamed.
To escape in a jungle, zigzag around trees and rocks.To escape in the arctic, climb up a mountain or for both, lead it to a passive animal like a diplodocus or wooly mammoth or something big and safe to fight it or hold it off.Use those tips and you can evade all sorts of huge carnivores…
