Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
If you are newbie and have metal armor equipped and lots of health on your character you can pretty much fight a low level rex solo. I punched one low level until he was down with a metal armor and with 300 in health.
I don't know about max levels tho. You could try.
But please, don't go in a fight against two rexes, they're slow, sure, but two or more of them could be somewhat dangerous even if low level.
And if you're a beginner with a low level rex, I wouldn't recommend going by the swamps or the center with a low level rex following you. An alpha raptor can kill your rex in seconds. I had my first rex killed that way. It's frustrating. You can go by the beaches, they're somewhat safe, and most of the dinos that spawn there won't attack your rex. Of course if you have a base in the center or the swamps (masoquist) you don't have a choice, so pray, pray for your rex safety.
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
A easy and cheap way to tame is using 3 stone fence foundation and 6 stone doorway plus a door. You make it into a u shape and lure rex in then close the door and tame it up. For mobile as the door auto close I recommend using another fence foundation and 2 doorways to block of the exit/entrance you can also try pillars.
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
Oi, uma maneira fácil que eu uso para domar rex é fazer uma caixa 6x6 De baldrames de pedra , batente de porta de pedra e de um dos lados escadas . 3 de altura ja basta e só atrair de preto ou argentavis e ele fica preso na box de pedra
General trap for most dinos, 3x3 stone foundstions, 2-3 high doorframe, wood ramp leading in any side, works for most dinos
I want a Rex :( sadly I am to scared 😔
I just noticed that the starve timer of a level 1 is lower than the torpor drain.
How to tame: 1, get to level 59 or 60 and get the hunt: tyrannosaurus Rex quest you can abandon and re do it if you know the threat of the marked area you can do it without the quest but finding it without the quest is just excruciating 2, preparing: get TONS of tranq arrows and set a trap if your taming a high level one for low levels you don't need a trap just a high cliff or a high rock that the rex can't walk on and reach you also bring a bunch off narcotics for high levels for low levels just bring 50 - 69 narcotics 3, lead it to somewhere safe for taming 3, kill everything with your rex
