Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
Stay on a high cliff where it can’t reach you while you shoot it
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.
I would think these were gonna be harder to tame but they’re actually not that hard, my stamina and movement speed is pretty high I’d say around 200 or higher but I didn’t need a trap or any of that, all I used was tranq arrows, u shoot it once then run away for a little bit turn around quick shoot it again then run away again and shoot it again and repeat, if it starts running it means it’s almost knocked out just chase after it and keep shooting and feed it meat!
If you want to find high level rexes ho to the snow biome, trust me.
When your taming your first Rex I would suggest to trap it with STONE gates And also feed it prime meat
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

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 giganotosaurus, but with metal gates.
My next tip will be on diplodocus!

Here is how I did my one.
1. Go to Carno island.
2. Locate your Rex.
3. Use a raptor to make it Afro on you and run to the small cliff on Carno island.
4. Make sure you are at the top of the cliff and your Rex is at the bottom and shoot at the Rex
5. If the Rex somehow manages to get up the cliff. Just get on a raptor and run of the cliff(don’t worry, it’s not high enough to take too much damage). Run around the cliff fast enough so that when you get to the top the Rex is still at the bottom.
6. Repeat until knocked out.
P.S. there are better ways to do this like using a trap but this is how I did mine so this is kind of a cheap way of doing it.
Anyway happy taming!
No need to complete a degree, have a job, wife, children and gta vi release by sleeping after trapping it down and then knocking it off will make its hunger 0 so just feed it and it will tamed under a minute.
Also this tricks works on any creature. I don’t know why this trick isn’t popular
On mobile I knocked 240lvl but when I go to get meat (kill some dinos) it despawns, and yes I know nothing killed it because I have my tapejara next to him but on my luck and my experience from before I saved data when I knocked it. Beware guys do not leave them alone they can despawn on some places espesauly in volcano, under blue obelis... And sorry for my bad english, hose I helped. ✌🏻
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
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)
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
Build a Stone Pilla trap what didn't work then when the Rex is chasing you hide and wait the the Rex attack the trap. When he doing it SHOOT HIM WITH ALL YOUR TRANQ ARROWS. (sorry for bad English)
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 starts running. Just watch out for Purlovia or Microraptor, or else you’ll become the Rex bait!
He can take up to 90 tranq arrow and 56 toxicant arrows make sure to but in trap so he can't run he can be found in icey or mountain spot good luck on catching him
All you need is a decent crossbow and some high ground with a good amount of Tranqs
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
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.
