Ps:this tip is fir mobile

taming a rex isn’t easy…
from my experience, here is how to do it:
1) PREPARATION
assuming you found one, there is a bit of preparation to be done, you need at least 30 tranq arrows (give or take a few, due to levels).
- get a crossbow, if not get a bow, the important thing is that the weapon you chose is compatible with tranq arrows.
-next, for tameing, you will need to harvest bio toxin from mitocondrias (blue belly fish found in the sea). this will raise the torpor level if it is running low, and it will avoid losing the rex after having knocked it out.
-get a lot of meat (3 stacks should do the trick, but it really depends on the level), this will allow the tameing bar to fill up: as you have probably guessed, it is not vegetarian…
2) K.O (knock the rex out)
-get the ranged weapon you are using and put it in your hot bar, then open your inventory, and drag the tranq arrow to the same slot as the ranged weapon. This will select the tranq arrow as the ammo for that weapon. If you hold the weapon in your hand, it should say something along the lines of
(weapon name)(tranq arrows loaded/number of tranq arrows)(tranq arrows)
eg, if you had a crossbow with 30 tranq arrows, it would say
crossbow (0/30) tranq arrow, unless if the arrow is loaded.
To knock out the rex, you want to find a cliff near it, and get to the top (a flying mount may be helpful). Now, just wait until it is close enough to shoot accurately, then fire away with your tranq arrows. If it starts running away, hop down the cliff, and continue shooting it (only do this if it runs out of range!!). repeat until it gets knocked out.
3) TAMEING:
careful not to hit it again, get to the rex and open its inventory, then put all the meat and bio toxin in its inventory.
from this point on, patience is required…
If you notice that the torpor level is dangerously low, feed it the bio toxin, it will raise the torpor level by 80, but, oddly enough, won’t harm the rex in any way. If the remaining meat spoils, or you run out of it, you might want to harvest more before it wakes up. when it wakes up, if you managed to tame it, it will tell you in a prompt, otherwise, you didn’t manage, and you should run as fast as possible in the other direction.
NOTES:
-tranq arrows need the mortar and pestle to craft, since you need to create narcotic (narcoberrys + spoiled meat), then combine it with stone arrows.
-a primitive bow may break before you can fully K.O the rex, so bringing two or three might be a good idea
-avoid tameing it near water, because it is defenceless against sea creatures like mitochondria or rays.
-find a solo rex, unless you want to tame two at the same time, which would be considerably harder.

Far more aggressive to u if ur not on a mount
Swap Giga and Rex, Giga were kind of like pack hunters and not so intelligent, lived in (North America?) and ate like, baby sauropods and other herbivores and were fast. Then we get to Rex. Omg, like how do you even describe this? it’s so overpowered, prob taking down other rexes JUST for prey, plus hunted literal sauropods and are more intelligent than you think. Their bite force crushes bone easily, what the literal heck, plus they are only a little slower than giga (which is still, way too fast.)
I killed it with my raptor lev 100
You can build a pit fall trap using stone walls make and a ramp in to it make sure there’s a Dino gate somewhere in the trap so you can escape and tame the beast
To the guy who said find these at top left island, it’s top right. Carno island, also known as carnivore or monster island.
To be honest, I tamed 2 Rex's and one of them was hard to get because it was under the snow
So if you wanna tip on taming a rex quicker without anything except a weapon?
Get it stuck or climb up high enough so it can't reach you
Then Tranq it (50-100+ arrows) then if you want to save time
I suggest you use
📱
-Raw prime meat
-Scorpion kibble
-raw meat
-raw fish meat
💻
-raw mutton (if available)
-kibble
-Raw prime meat
-raw prime fish meat
-raw meat
-raw fish meat
If these help give it a like! 🙂
I just used a bow,arrows(Tranqs),mate and a few narcotics.
1 grab A pterosaur 2 hit it 3 lead it into paddock 4 shoot with tranqs 5 give cooked prime meat X12
Do not try to kill a rex having a heart before his name if you hit him 1 or more t-rex come to kill you
I remember the early days when a rex was actually scary and you couldn’t just absolutely rip it up with like, 4 mid level raptors.
The cheapest trap for rex are the traps of the other players around.
Just walk around the trap instead of trapping it the trap.
If it flees catch it up and shoot, it will turn around and get agro again and then do the walk around trap thing again.
I prefer tranq darts, with arrows u need a ton
Are allos or rexes better for bosses?
Don't waste your time for making traps I know it's work but it's a time waste U should find a High place U can easily find it with petradon and use taranq arrows and biotoxin to knock out him and biotoxin
BECUZ it's torper rate drop Faster U know U should try it 👍🏼
It may not say is but if a Rex eats any thing he gets tons of health. I think the bigger the kill the more health. Hope this helps
