Easy to tame if you have a fast mount and enough arrows. I started a new world and with my equus tamed a lvl 145 with a crossbow. Narcoberries and raw meat did the trick. Now I have a base guardian with lots of teeth.

Get one Dino stone and metal and wood use the stone to make dinosaur gate frame then use the metal and wood to make the doors then set the trap put the Dinosaur bait In and make sure there is a lot of T. rex and make a place to watch the T. rex and for the place you are watching from has a exit also have a saddle for the T. rex ready

Where to find: You can honestly find these guys almost everywhere. Mainly in highlands/grassy areas, also the green forest areas. Sometimes even beaches!

What they're good for:

I personally use them for hunting and they usually can kill things with one bite.

How to tame:

Find a rex

Make a stone dino pen (preferably 4 walls high)

Lure the rex into trap

I personally use the bow and stone tranq arrows as it's the cheapest and almost the most effective taming method.

Shoot it down (depending on rex level your bow may break 5 times so be prepared for that).

Feed it meat or kibble of your choice !

Use narco berries or narcotics if necessary.

*REMEMBER TO ALWAYS HAVE AT LEAST 30 MORE TRANQ ARROWS THAN RECOMMENDED*

Easy beginner tame! Unfortunately though you can't get the rex saddle till level 78 I believe.

Disclaimer: I mainly play on slightly boosted servers so it may not be this easy on official.

Use a pheromone dart on a bronto, then shoot the Rex while it attacks it, then kill the bronto or tame it. You could also use a tamed bronto on passive.

Just downed a lvl 180 tek rex on official 97 darts to the head and down.

X-Rex are extremely squishy when compared to the Tek Rex. Best to go for Tek Rex if you want to do hunting missions.

Wild X-Dino’s receive a 60% damage reduction. To calculate what is required to take down an X-Variant, take your current weapons attack and multiple by .4, then add that value as a custom weapon into Dododex.

Build 3 walls high 3x3 raft taming pen, go to carnivore island, kill nearby argies and scorpions (easy) lure one rex into the pen, tranq it down, go back to herbivore island, done.

Im so mad whenever i want to tame one these guys just run into a bunch of brontos/terror birds and get emselves killed wtf

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…

This or a Giga? Only the best know

How to tame a Rex:

The rex is a large predator, it is moderately fast but is tanky and does some real damage. It is mostly found on non-snow mountains, excluding white sky peak and frozen fang. It spawns after you clear its kins, so you can go around killing low level Rexes and wait for high levels.

How to tame:

200 tranq arrows will be enough, but I bring 300 just in case I find something else(u never find what you’re looking for in ark).

No narcotics bc Rexes tames are pure wait but bring it loads of prime. Have cooked prime just in case but have narcs if you tame on cooked prime or worse.

Method 1 safari tame

A 130% speed and around 300 health some levels in stam as well.

U just run, and turn and shoot. When it is catching up, circle it as they have abysmal turn radius. Just don’t get hit and repeat the procedure. A pt is good as you fly away when the Rex is close and land and shoot when it is farther.

Method 2 trap

Bring 4 stone dino gateframes and 2 LARGE bear traps.

Make a I_| shape with the gateframes and place the traps in the middle.

Use a flyer to lure the Rex in and quickly place another gateframe in the opening so that is is a cube O shape. The Rex is trapped.

After you knock it out, place a simple bed and sleep. Starve your tame!!!!!! Get prime in the process and when the timer ends shove about 50 prime meat down its throat(less if its low level use Dododex)

Uses: Tank

Harvest: gets tons of meat hide and prime

Boss Dino

Army: very tanky and does great dmg.

Have creative ways to use your Rex such as taming tanks.

Hope you enjoy your Rex!

This is basically the go to choice for almost all the bosses.why? because its the one of the best for fighting bosses especially forest,ice and megapithecus, because point you probably don't have a giga at that point,it has high HP and high damage and if you breed it up..it's gonna crush the weaker bosses.if you want to add up the damage output of the Rex with the yuty then sure you can do it if you're willing to go into the snow and possibly get ambushed by purlovias.

I think there should be a page for Humans to show base stats, KO chart, narcotics needed, food and water drain, and torpor timer

Dont worry, you can out run them, just run faster than other dino, i found them mostly near snowy mountain area, sometime on dead island ( dont try to tame one there )and mountain, rarely near river,swamp and beaches on the island map

Im using mobile btw if you wondering

I used a bow and tranq arrows it always easier

when i was looking for allosaurus on the western coast but i cant find any allos but a 280 rex! so i build my stone dino gateway its like this I_I with a large bear trap on the middle bait the rex if the rex get into the trap close the the trap by placing gateway , make sure you do it before the rex get free from the bear trap, tranq it i recomend use an ascendan rifle

Built a trap

3x3 foundations, walls on 3 sides 2 high.

On the 4th wall put in a single doorway.

Opposite this wall put wood ramps on the outside of the trap, so anything from the outside can run in and fall in. Put a behemoth gate (yes takes investment, so place the trap in an open area with a ton of dinos so you can keep reusing it) on the base of the ramp so you can block it off AFTER you have something trapped.

To be completely safe,

Place a foundation outside the trap behind the doorway, box it in with walls and doorways,so you can be safe from other dinos trying to attack you while you tranq dinos.

Just set this up and went overboard by setting up 6 Dino gates on the outside around the main trap.

145 Rex is in and taming.

Nothing really bothers you when you get one of these guys so great for exploring and already has good health and damage when tamed

Use small gates to easy trap and knock the rex
