Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
Make sure to starve it down when you knock it out don't just put your food in there wait till it's hungry but after you give it food don't take it out I will lose taming
These aren’t as hard as people say they are to tame. Get about 30 tranqs, get on a rock, and shoot. Kill a diplodocus, feed the Rex the prime meat, BOOM! You have a Rex tame.
who agrees this is the iconic tame of the game? like its quite the accomplishment when you do it during mid game but nit really end game.
.stone gateway. Trap shoot with trank.
Just go on top of a cliff or some where it can not get to you then shoot it when it runs jump off of cliff ( or some where high ) with parachute and chase it down while shooting it ( this is what I do for all most every thing
I tamed a rex at level 35 it was easy just tranqued it without trap
I like to get 4 behemoth gateways and but down 3 in a triangle shape with a large bear trap In the middle, when the Rex runs Into the trap I place the forth gate closing off the trap, I then use a gun with tranq darts (50-100) and knock it out, I found prime meat to be the easiest taming food to give it.
Summon Command:
Gmsummon “rex_character_bp_c” (level)
Whenever I see them it's either dead because they attack everything near them and get killed because they pick the wrong opponent or, I kill them because I keep running out of Trang arrows.
Tip for taming: aggro the Rex then make it follow you to a group of herbivores, not quite strong enough to kill it but just enough to keep it distracted, then gust rapid fire with a bow and tranq arrows and kill the herbivores (both for protecting the Rex and for meat) and ta-da! You’ve tamed a Rex, no traps…
I had a Rex egg I had just bred it put it in the fridge came back the next day it was gone / 11 hours later ooohhh I left it in the wrong fridge
These guys are honestly super easy if you have an Argy with decent stam. Just pick up a Parasaur of something likewise an carry it to get the Rex’s attention to follow you into a trap.
I was 80% of taming a good level one and it disappeared what happend!
Really easy to tame just take some tranq darts and a tapejara and sit on the side of a cliff and tranq it
You don’t really need a trap just get on a cliff
How to tame a rex:
1. First, you need to bring 4 stone dinosaur gates. And a large bear trap.
2. Place 3 of the gates (in this shape \_/) and the large bear trap inside them.
3. After you've found a rex, lure it and get it stuck in the trap.
4. After the rex is stuck in the trap, quickly place the fourth gate to prevent the rex from escaping.
5. Now knock the rex out with a tranquilizing ammo like tranq arrows or certain darts.
6. After the rex is knocked out, feed it meat or preferred kibbles.
Hope this helps!
You can also do the exact same thing to tame a giganotosaurus, but with metal gates.
My next tip will be on diplodocus!

Look for CaptainFatdog on YouTube, he makes super cheap traps that are accessible way earlier than all these overpriced versions. You can tame pretty much anything as soon as you get access to stone, aswell as rexes! His rex trap is literally 14 pillars, its cheap and easy to put up 👍
The Tek Bow is by far the most effective tool to knock out a rex just wait about five seconds between each shot so your not wasting and element shards.
Who knew you could use boomerang to knock out 168 tek rex.hows that make sense ark has gone crazy
I tamed mine when I was looking for a star o in a nearby lake and it scared me, so I led it back to my base walls to tame it. It didn’t attack me because it was too busy nomming on my walls
