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…

I just tamed a lvl 2 Rex and they are extremely slow in water first we tried to use a rock and hit it with tranquil arrow but it was able to climb the rock (the rock was extremely tall and we could only get up it using a ptredon) so we escaped using our pt and found out they…

If you are on The Island you can just grab these with a rynio and trap it easily!!

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

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.

Really easy to tame just take some tranq darts and a tapejara and sit on the side of a cliff and tranq it

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

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…

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…

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

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.

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.

The easiest way to kill these buds is to go up onto a mountain (a high one..) with a flying mount, or, find how to get up the mountain. Get out your gun, and start shooting. Takes 3 to 4 hits to kill. If your low leveled and see this... RUN or if u don’t have a gun, RUN

Place down 3 stone gateways and a large beartrap in the middle. Let the Rex walk in there and then place a forth gateway behind the Rex.

Once knocked out, you can honestly get away without taming spikes if it's just a good Rex. Nothing naturally attacks them in the wild if it's not fully tamed. You don't need to waste material and sit next to the rex if you're kibble taming it for 3 hours.…

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.
