How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
Do you know what the vertex of y(x)=-2x^2 +4x-7 is I need help with algabra homework
Every body keeps saying bring tons of tranq arrows but I knocked one out with only 15 or 20
I’ve never tamed a single Carno in my life… but I have 2 Brontos, 2 Spinos, And 2 Rexes. I’m literally not joking at all. Oh ya I also have 5 Sarco with saddles. I’m lvl 35. So, yes.. maybe I went too far too soon, but hey, I can kill a giga 🤷🏻
How do you get the egg to hatch without an incubator/dimetrodon
Easy to tame if you have a fast mount and enough arrows. I started a new world and with my equus tamed a lvl 145 with a crossbow. Narcoberries and raw meat did the trick. Now I have a base guardian with lots of teeth.
Get one Dino stone and metal and wood use the stone to make dinosaur gate frame then use the metal and wood to make the doors then set the trap put the Dinosaur bait In and make sure there is a lot of T. rex and make a place to watch the T. rex and for the place you are watching from has a exit also have a saddle for the T. rex ready
Where to find: You can honestly find these guys almost everywhere. Mainly in highlands/grassy areas, also the green forest areas. Sometimes even beaches!
What they're good for:
I personally use them for hunting and they usually can kill things with one bite.
How to tame:
Find a rex
Make a stone dino pen (preferably 4 walls high)
Lure the rex into trap
I personally use the bow and stone tranq arrows as it's the cheapest and almost the most effective taming method.
Shoot it down (depending on rex level your bow may break 5 times so be prepared for that).
Feed it meat or kibble of your choice !
Use narco berries or narcotics if necessary.
*REMEMBER TO ALWAYS HAVE AT LEAST 30 MORE TRANQ ARROWS THAN RECOMMENDED*
Easy beginner tame! Unfortunately though you can't get the rex saddle till level 78 I believe.
Disclaimer: I mainly play on slightly boosted servers so it may not be this easy on official.
Use a pheromone dart on a bronto, then shoot the Rex while it attacks it, then kill the bronto or tame it. You could also use a tamed bronto on passive.
Just downed a lvl 180 tek rex on official 97 darts to the head and down.
Wild X-Dino’s receive a 60% damage reduction. To calculate what is required to take down an X-Variant, take your current weapons attack and multiple by .4, then add that value as a custom weapon into Dododex.
Build 3 walls high 3x3 raft taming pen, go to carnivore island, kill nearby argies and scorpions (easy) lure one rex into the pen, tranq it down, go back to herbivore island, done.
Im so mad whenever i want to tame one these guys just run into a bunch of brontos/terror birds and get emselves killed wtf
Build a mini house and anger it and trap it in the house and then tame it it worked for me
How to tame: first get a cross bow lvl 25 and 250 or more tranq arrows lvl 21 or darts lvl 62 up to you second find a Rex and shoot from a distance there not fast but they have decent reach keep shooting until its knocked out put in your taming food in and bam💥 Rex tame😎😎 sorry if spelling is incorrect because I’m still Asian😂😂😂
This or a Giga? Only the best know
How to tame a Rex:
The rex is a large predator, it is moderately fast but is tanky and does some real damage. It is mostly found on non-snow mountains, excluding white sky peak and frozen fang. It spawns after you clear its kins, so you can go around killing low level Rexes and wait for high levels.
How to tame:
200 tranq arrows will be enough, but I bring 300 just in case I find something else(u never find what you’re looking for in ark).
No narcotics bc Rexes tames are pure wait but bring it loads of prime. Have cooked prime just in case but have narcs if you tame on cooked prime or worse.
Method 1 safari tame
A 130% speed and around 300 health some levels in stam as well.
U just run, and turn and shoot. When it is catching up, circle it as they have abysmal turn radius. Just don’t get hit and repeat the procedure. A pt is good as you fly away when the Rex is close and land and shoot when it is farther.
Method 2 trap
Bring 4 stone dino gateframes and 2 LARGE bear traps.
Make a I_| shape with the gateframes and place the traps in the middle.
Use a flyer to lure the Rex in and quickly place another gateframe in the opening so that is is a cube O shape. The Rex is trapped.
After you knock it out, place a simple bed and sleep. Starve your tame!!!!!! Get prime in the process and when the timer ends shove about 50 prime meat down its throat(less if its low level use Dododex)
Uses: Tank
Harvest: gets tons of meat hide and prime
Boss Dino
Army: very tanky and does great dmg.
Have creative ways to use your Rex such as taming tanks.
Hope you enjoy your Rex!
I think there should be a page for Humans to show base stats, KO chart, narcotics needed, food and water drain, and torpor timer
I used a bow and tranq arrows it always easier
when i was looking for allosaurus on the western coast but i cant find any allos but a 280 rex! so i build my stone dino gateway its like this I_I with a large bear trap on the middle bait the rex if the rex get into the trap close the the trap by placing gateway , make sure you do it before the rex get free from the bear trap, tranq it i recomend use an ascendan rifle
Built a trap
3x3 foundations, walls on 3 sides 2 high.
On the 4th wall put in a single doorway.
Opposite this wall put wood ramps on the outside of the trap, so anything from the outside can run in and fall in. Put a behemoth gate (yes takes investment, so place the trap in an open area with a ton of dinos so you can keep reusing it) on the base of the ramp so you can block it off AFTER you have something trapped.
To be completely safe,
Place a foundation outside the trap behind the doorway, box it in with walls and doorways,so you can be safe from other dinos trying to attack you while you tranq dinos.
Just set this up and went overboard by setting up 6 Dino gates on the outside around the main trap.
145 Rex is in and taming.
