Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
So a great trap I use is to get four metal billboards and a large bear trap. Put three down in a square shape, and once it gets stuck in the bear trap, place the last one. It might look scary, but in the trap its feet are stuck and the you can shoot it down with tranq arrows.
These look oh so hard to knock out I knocked out 2 in a row, I had alot of points put into speed though don't get the wrong message
How to tame this without kibble:fish to get prim fish meat them feed it soothing balm and raw prime fish meat it will be tamed
A Rex would be a really easy as long as you have a enhanced bow apprentice or up you could run while time to time shooting I m telling this to you because it worked for me at lvl 40 no prob Rex lvl 75 (same thing for taming) try it out (yes I couldn’t ride it big sad)
just ride galimimus and shoot em. and dont let raptors kill it like i did…
If you are Playing with friends, Get out Anything You can think of that is strong enough to tame a T. rex. But however you have to circle cause the T. rex will be distracted and while the people attack it. But I’m order to do that you still need to find a way to get on The T. rex. Then he can’t attack you. Then when you tame it make sure to give it levels to kill all the dinosaurs harder than the meteorite!
I have already told you how to tame them but here is one more thing:if you are trying to knock them out with the longneck rifle you’ll need about 200 tranq darts.(But don’t forget the backup darts incase you miss.
To tame these guys I prefer to use traps.You can build one easily if you have the items.You can use stone dinosaur gates an large beartraps to trap them.You can find tutorials on the internet.To knock them out you’ll beed a compound bow,a crossbow or a longneck rifle.(I prefer the longneck because of its not so high level engram)use tranq darts with the rifle,tranq arrows with the bows.
Wild hyaenodons will attack an unconscious Rex. Clear them out beforehand. Just had a wild unconscious max level Rex get killed by a pack.
If you are not picky try getting a low level one because i knoched a level 2 in a couple of shots and took only like 5 mins to tame
Even early game they're not too hard to tame. Get yourself an Iguanodon and put it on all fours, then it will never run out of stamina. Run back and forth shooting the Rex it will never catch you. Just got one with tranq arrows and a bow, but you could do the same with stone arrows if you wanted to kill it.
I have found that using 4 Metal Billboards works relatively well, adding a bear trap (like giga traps) works even better
If you got a high level Dino you can just tank it and shoot it with a longneck rifle
These things have a tendency to chase you and then forget about you. They have a short attention span. When you actually do manage to get one to chase you lease it towards a large bear trap. It’ll get stuck. When it does, place normal stone Dino gates around it to trap it. Then tranq and feed.
When I tamed a rex I just kited it do not use a trap unless your not as experienced as other people. But you do not need a trap the only thing you need is traqs and a flyer
Easiest way to tame...
1.Get a good flyer
2.Tranquilliser dart are best but i tamed it with tranq arrow in crossbow.(almost 20 shots)
3.kibble is best but u can also use raw prime meet.
4.Have bio toxin or narcotics handy I didnt use it because it’s torpid is like 1700 and I used minor soothing balm with raw prime meet.
Strategy:
1.Ride ur flyer and make Rex follow u to some cliffs (I tamed it near snow where there is a cliff and some pond which is perfect place to find a Rex and tame it without any disturbance like raptors,wolfs,etc...)
2.Stand on cliff and start shooting tranqs.
3.Once it starts to run u can chase it on foot it might be getting down on next shot once it starts to run.
4.Use soothing balm or whatever plan u have to tame it.
IF ITS SNOW KEEP SOME FIRE TORCHES, FIREPLACES,HANDY TO KEEP U WARM.
Make a trap or tame it with a freind. It is so much easier
My bro knocked it with clube, he is a real men
Hang from a quetzal with a grapple, wayyyyy to easy. You can tame just about anything that way
General trap for most dinos, 3x3 stone foundstions, 2-3 high doorframe, wood ramp leading in any side, works for most dinos
