Terrible turning circle just get on a cliff and bring a bunch of arrows/darts
If you're playing the island, expect to find your first rex that's worth taming on day fifty. It'll have 13000 food and end up not worth taming.
Get on a cliff that the rex can’t reach and tranq the s#&* out of it.
u can tame them already on lvl 21. just get 2 of Bows and 40 tranqs for around 10 level rex. climp on heigh stages so it can reach you and just hit him with tranqs till he runs away. get after him and hit him again but font go to close otherwise he snaps u with 2 bites
If you have decent movement speed just sprint around it and shoot it it won’t catch you
Share a tip about how to make a pet dinosaur to this app
If you trying to tame it like a real man you walk up to it hit it with a club and then lead it off a cliff then you use your crossbow.
First built a structure of rock walls and climate it with the help of stairs and break stairs from downward rex can't climb and hit it with crossbow or gun to knock it out.
Second use spike trap to cover it so one dino will able to attack it then use narcotics over 64 to make it more unconscious over night till it's hunguer is 59 percent and use meat to tame it
Fun fact
Rexs and Yutys have the same stats in the stat calculator!
I find that the best way to knock these out is to get a quetzal and stand on the platform while in the air. It has basically no sway so aiming will be easy plus you can bring along a ballista to keep it still with the chain bola. Be sure to bring some cooked prime meat :)
An easy way to knock one out with a friend.
Take your flyer and carry your friend, fly high enough so that the Rex can’t reach you or your friend, but also so that they can shoot at the Rex. Get your friend to shoot at them with whatever tranq, I did it with about 8 tranq arrows and a normal bow but you might need more.
If you’re playing solo though I suggest leading the Rex under a rock ledge, land on the ledge and shoot at it till it gets knocked. Or you could just run at it and try to knock it fast but I’d rather play it the safe way.
Find a cliff that it can’t climb, get the high ground and shoot it with tranqs.
If you have a good speed stat it’s fairly easy to knock it out. Just run n gun and you can knock it out. No traps are needed as long as you can keep a distance while shooting.
Just use three stone gates and a bear trap and make sure the trap is in a triangular position and then get Rex to follow you get in the bear trap and then like always place a gate behind it and also to make sure the bear trap is near the of the trap between the two gates
If you find one get in an open area with different dinosaurs also stay a decent ways away from it and while it is feasting on other animals shoot it with tranq darts and a longneck rifle or get a trap
If you're having a taming pen made out of stone (or else) on a WOODEN raft, don't use it for a rex.
It's great for a LOT of dinos, but a high level rex will destroy your raft to dust (and all structures attached to it, no matter what they are made of) before you knock him out.
Does anyone know if you can trap the rex with a net projectile?
You can use metal billboards and a bear trap.
these guys are scary early game, but i can tell you right now these guys arent hard to tame.
i literally just tamed a level 14 by flying up to a big rock and shooting her with arrows, passed out in no time. i have to wait another like 13 levels until i can ride her though
