Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
Honestly I’m the odd one out... I tamed one with a journey bow and a dire bear. No gates no platforms nothing. Just a bow a bear and patients. Hmph I’m weird
Written April 30 2020
My speed is actually faster than any wild rex. So I just run for a few seconds, turn around and shoot it in the face and repeat.
Equipment Taming
1 Longneck Rifle.
Around 200 Darts incase. Depends on lvl
4 Stone gates.
1 Large bear trap.
Place 3 gates next to the large bear trap.
Get the rex attention and run past the bear trap.
Until the rex gets stuck in the trap.
Then place 1 gate behind the rex don't get to close.
Then shoot rex until it knocks out.
This also works with spino
If you are like a *hillbilly* in ark like me reads are easy to tame just get on a cliff with a slingshot and trans bow and then proceed to knock it out do this with regular levels high levels I don't 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!
How to raise and tame a good Rex
1. Use crossbow with tranq arrows or rifle with tranq darts
2. Find the Rex a tough opponent to defeat
3. While he or she is fighting, open fire on the king or queen
4. Once the Rex is down feed it prime meat alongside with normal meat in case you run out of prime
5. Use narcotics on higher levels bio toxin might be needed.
6. Once the Rex awakens take them hunting for large dinos and bosses too but they have to be extremely high level
7. When leveling up switch between health and dmg upgrades
Please take good care of your tyrannus. PEACE
No real men knock it out with a club
Step 1.get a bow or crossbow
Step 2.get a crap ton of trank arrows
Step 3.find a rex
Step 4. Find a cliff that the rex can’t climb
Step 5. Lur the rex to the cliff
Step 6.shoot the rex until it is knocked out
Step 7. Feed the rex raw meat/prim meat
Step 8. Enjoy Your rex
Dont be scared of them, get a flyer and make sure to have a high health and stamina, fly at him (make sure its only one or your dunso) and let him take a bite of your flyer once in a while then lead him into a square wall of dino gates with a trap in it. Once he is stuck quickly close up the open gate, laugh at him and shoot him (alot)
If on the island, just place a 3x3x3 trap with stone doorframes in a flat area in snow biome. Metal/wood ramps on one side. Pretty much anything will fit except titan. Idk if gigga fits. Place a bed/sleeping bag on the side and u can take anything.
Why do big carnivores attack almost every thing they see? i found another high level rex i lead it to a cliff with my spino i put the spino on the cliff but the rex attacked carnos and the carnos killed it… just why? do big carnivores hate everything? irl they aint evil or have anger issues they just kill for food but in ark they attack anything even when theyre not hungry i hope wildcard adds a hunger feature for creatures so carnivores dont have anger issues in ark 2
If you play ark mobile please answer. I wanted to tame a 145 rex and he never made it to the trap because he died to a 125 tickle chicken. I have his implant to revive him. It cost 40 amber, and I have 37. I can get this amber in 2 daily pursuits. Tell me should I revive him. Yes or no. Someone comment if yes or no on Everything Else New.
I am a noob,level 24, and I knocked one of these bad bois out without a trap or anything.
Explination: I grabbed thirty tranq arrows,thirty-six narcs and went over to a cliff and started shooting it took only 13 of the arrows because #1 im on mobile, and #2 because it was low level.
I hope you enjoyed my lil explination :)
All you need is a decent crossbow and some high ground with a good amount of Tranqs
Don't die...... but for real you can just go somewhere it can't get you and spam thank arrows til it gets knocked out.
I remember on an official pvp server me and my tribe mate were chilin with our sinos on lost island and a lv 180 black female rex with blue underbelly and red pattern attacked us. Lost out carno pair and a couple of raptors, but eh it was worth it. We named her glitch. :) also for details on how we tamed it we air striked it with out sinos with tranq darts

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.
For me personally I took a ascendant crossbow and it took me 6 shots to knock out a level 60 and sooner or later he will be a happy boi
Place 1 stone foundation near the rex you want to tame, (not too close) then 1 doorframe and door, both stone. Then place 3 stone walls around it. Add an extra layer on top of the base structure of stone doorframes then cap it of with a ceiling. Shoot the rex to get it’s attention, then run inside and the rex won’t be able to hit you, but you’ll be able to shoot it. This trap also works for Spinosaurus and dire bears.
No need for traps. Get a crossbow with tranq arrows (fifty if yiur by yourself and 30 each with multiple players) get high ground or tank hits like a beast, and fire away.
