Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
Easy:
make sure you have a getaway, a couple stacks of meat, and a ton of tranq arrows(or darts)
stand on a real tall rock
shoot it to make it come to you (with rifle or crossbow)
once it’s stuck at the bottom of cliff (or rock) shoot it with TRANQ ARROWS(or darts)
repeat until it goes unconscious
get off and place your meat in inv
wait half an hour and you got the most popular apex predator in the dino kingdom
Baby rex’s are so cute. if your breed them have a lot of campfires and wood or thatch. my Rex wants walk every time for the imprinting thing. Already so big soon she’ll be as big as her mother and father.
Yo, I tamed a rex by hopping on a tall rock, shooting it up with tranq arrows and feeding it regular meat
I have 2 rexs named stomp and chomp and used jerky and it tamed really fast
I just knocked out a lvl 145. I used the four stone Dino gate trap method, and it worked well. I recommend bringing two crossbows for that level of Rex. Your first will break after around seventy to eighty shots. A level 145 takes about 100 arrows, but I recommend bringing fifty more, just to be safe. You don’t need narcotics if you can get ahold of prime meat. I’m currently working the crap out of my ptero attacking brontos, paracers, diplos and carnos to get the meat. So far it’s going well. I’m only level forty seven, too, so it’s kind of difficult🤣 but if I can do it, so can everyone else. Good luck, fellow early game Rex tamers!
Got a Rex saddle at level 50 I am mobile player and tamed on Rex from the Griffin mountain easy peasy
Tame one they said it'll be easy they said tries to take
what I hate you guys
I had a level 8 Rex and it took 18 arrows to take it down and it only needed 2 narcotics it takes a while to take but the trex is worth the struggle.
KOing one and taming isn’t a problem it’s just most of the time where ever you knock out a Rex there will most likely be other predators around that can kill it while unconscious, I would clear out the area or lure it into a different spot if you can see other animals that might interfere with taming.
Okay so people are saying to use platform saddles which yes is not bad it’s just work to get a quetzal, if you have 2 people all you have to do is build 3 stone Dino gates in an unfinished square away from the Rex, then get the Rex to aggro on you and lead it in and go through the middle square (you can use large bear traps but I never use them) and then while the Rex is still aggro at you the second person needs to come behind and place the last gate.
If you want one look in the mountains or snow and once tamed put it in a cry pod and take it back to bace
For some strange reason the pachyrhinosaurus puff has no effect on it when Koed
Very easy to knock out because they are slower than a lvl 1 character so every so often turn around to shoot it until it starts to run
If your trying to get the rex in a trap but it keeps agroing on everything else then use an argy to pick up the creature (if possible) that the rex agros on and guide into towards your trap and drop the creature in the trap.
TBH you don’t need to use a 3x3 foundation trap if you are short on resources. 2x2 is enough and 2 or 3 door frames high but it has an occasional chance that it will glitch out but ONLY if something that appeals to it or you gets close it but rarely. Use kibble for high leveled ones along with a soothing balm to get an op one.
When taming, turn off ark music and play reality check through the skull. Trust me, it works.
Hover just above it with a Quetz then just hop off, stand on the Quetzs' back and tranq it! SIMPLE! Happy taming!
if you’re staying on old ark mobile instead of the new one , make sure you don’t leave it when you’re taming , they keep dissapearing mid tame on me if i don’t stand and watch
I tame one at lvl 50 and it was lvl 80…….
Took me three hours to tame
Get on the back of an argy and shoot it down. Then circle it (dont be near it as nothing will attack it, it will attack you and hurt it) , then wait for it to tame. I hope you found this helpful!
