Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
My Rex lv 176 died to a alpha raptor 😐
It was good for tge 6 minutes I had him
Just level up your movement speed past 120% and you can outrun it, running around in circles while your friends blast it with tranq arrows from a higher ground
If u want help to find them you can go past herbivore island then past giga mountain and go to this island just a bit from the beach and there usually are Rex’s scorpions raptors and argentavis there
You need a tall frock and a bird to get on top of it and shoot it and when it comes shoot the tail and it’s super easy.
Easiest, cheapest method to knock out any level Rex is simply build 1 stone foundation,3 walls and 2 doorframes(no reinforced doors needed)....place the foundation down and the 3 walls in a U shape on the foundation then in the gap put 1 doorframe and the other doorframe on top....Then run up to the Rex tickle its balls and once u have Agro make a dash for your contraption run through the doorframe....Spin around, go into crouch and start firing tranq darts at it through the door frame( don't worry it won't be able to bite you as the doorframes are 2 walls high) This works on gigas too but go 3 wall high on door frames and use metal instead of stone. Hope this helps fresh spawns :)))
Just stand on a tall rock and then massacre everything in the area and feed there sweet remains to it (by the same person as the stand on a tall rock) proof it works I have 2
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

I tamed most of my rex’s on gen 2, I recommend this bc you can just fly a bit above them and just shoot them knocking them out then feeding them prime meat and some narcotics. Gen 2 is good bc you get a free tek suit you can use witthout getting the temgrams
I highly recommend using 4 stone gateways, large bear trap and narcotic.
Remember to bring lots of food when taming
Want taming this in early game?. Just use crosbow with tranq arrow, find high cliff, and keep shooting. No trap, no chain bola or etc, just run in case if this guy try to escape from u (u r faster more than them). It takes 12 shoots with 3 miss on me (free aim not only head shoot). Put at least 100 raw meat on its inventory, and also 15 nacrotics just in case this guy wanted to wake up earlier. G L
If you build a cage 3 high of stone doorways and then put a ramp up into the cage, then you just fly over over it with him chasing you.
Took a flyer to high ground. Knocked out with crossbow and tranq arrows until passed out. May need a few stacks and wait...patiently. Got a lvl 7. PVE
I was going to tame a spino and successfully I tamed it by shooting from a cliff nearby then after putting the food I saw a rex closely and then with my bryonx I again climbed the cliff and shoot a few more tranc arrows I was not planning to tame it but since it went unconscious I used 3× smoothing bam and I got my spino and rex at the same time and I only used 44 tarnc arrows which also included a few misses. And now I not afraid of any dino on the island.
Some say build a trap. I say cut costs and find a cliff.
To be honest, I tamed 2 Rex's and one of them was hard to get because it was under the snow
So if you wanna tip on taming a rex quicker without anything except a weapon?
Get it stuck or climb up high enough so it can't reach you
Then Tranq it (50-100+ arrows) then if you want to save time
I suggest you use

I just used a bow,arrows(Tranqs),mate and a few narcotics.
Get a crossbow and darts
Find a high place to start
Bring the Rex over here
Tranq it in fear
Give it some prime meat
It will grow to
Know you.
To tame a Rex follow these steps
1• have 5 stone gateways and first put four of them and leave some gap in btw , put a large bear trap in middle of the four gateways
2• mount on your flyer (I used argy) then go to the Rex and make him follow you to the trap. Then put the 5th gateway in the gap.
3• knock it out with tranq darts
4 put soothing balm 10x ( if playing on mobile) and some prime meat. And it will get tamed
You can build a pit fall trap using stone walls make and a ramp in to it make sure there’s a Dino gate somewhere in the trap so you can escape and tame the beast
