How ARK players tame and knock out the Rex: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

If you are on a Sarco and find one near water (like my Tek Rex) shoot it with tranqs from afar while riding your Sarco. I then tamed un-aggro’d using standard raw meat :)

I tamed one at a lvl 6 without any Dino’s cuz my tribe mates gave me Tranq arrows and a primitive bow.... it was stuck in rocks and it was fighting argies, I tamed the argies too. Lucky day in a pvp server...

If i were to trap a rex i will use dino gateways. Not behemoth ones because the rex can walk through it. The normal ones. Like taming a giga you just want to make like a square but with one side missing. This serves an entrance to the trap. Then put a bear trap in the middle.…

All you find a high cliff get up to it sand a few steps back from the ledge and shoot a grapple into the ground and repel till you have a good vantage point and shoot darts in to it. And boom you have a rex.

You can have my pickax and stone and everything else

If you want to tame one of these things, all you need is a flyer, a highpoint, and tranq darts. Rexes are slow, but they’re deadly and can quite literally scare the crap out of smaller dinos. If you’re taming one on a big open grassland, you’ll need a trap, and there’s…

Easy Way to tame one of these:

1) Insta Tame an Argy (get close to knockout drag a body so it eats and gets the healing effect this will drop its hunger so place whatever food you have for it and will be instant tame works on any level!)

2) Get that argy as a killing machine…

If your gonna tame a lol 300 Rex, get a quetzal and put storages on him, or else the man is just gonna star at you and wonder why you were shooting it after you run out of tranks. P.s. NEVER PUT UR ARGY ON FOLLOW

Alot of bad tips, just get 140 movement on your player. Get some flak, run turn shoot rinse repeat easy tame. I have a wild line of rexes hatching with 9k health 370 melee from just doing this

I find most of my rexes in the redwoods. Typically there’s a lot of ledges around there, so just sit on a ledge and shoot the Rex with tranqs

You can knock him out even with tranq arrow and a good quality crossbow with atleast damage of 180% , you can tame a rex even if he has lost his 25 % health if he have lost more health than it would be riskly if using a crossbow but it will be ok if you are using long neck…

Trap it trap is simple stone but I prefer metal cuz i have a lot pillers one in the middle 2 clicks or whatever the snap points are away make another on all sides around and then add another on the end it'll walk through now add one up for the stair end and 2 for the wall…

Taming one is easy just a use some tranquilizer darts and your good

Put some spike walls around your trap after you trap it. It’ll bite some unsuspecting herbivores that wander near and fight. Before you know it, it’s dead. Trust me, I have lost 4 high leveled rexes already.

DO NOT USE BIOTOXIN!!! It ruins the taming effectiveness, and ur rex will come out a low level. And plus on most maps narcotics are easier to make.
