How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
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!
So my experience with this beast was horrifying but I knocked it out it took so much tranq arrows it took 30 tranq arrows and I ran fast with the Brontos because there were lots of dinos with the brontosaurus then it was attacking the other dinos then I shot it a lot then it fell asleep because the thing it was attacking a a tank it was an ankylo so that’s my experience with a rex.
The Rex eggs are 33 in the egg incubator
Lead it a cliff and make the cliff colapse then run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Four huge metal signs put them into a square and put the fourth one in after the rex is in, it works.
Who else wishes they would add it so we cans put thanks in AR’s
I have some rexes in my single player u have to be very careful when trying I tried once I got arrows and the bow broke so I used a sling shot and it knocked out put some meat in it and I had a rex!
Ride your Iguanodon, use other dinos as bait and just shoot it with tranq arrows, darts etc. Add: you can knock it out while on a cliff or when it is stuck other is using a large beartrap. Always bring your escape dino with you Incase something attacks you.
How to tame: get tranqs and meat and some narcs and bear traps. Spot a Rex. Watch Rex get eaten by spino. Tame spino instead.
To be honest spino is easier. It costs Less narcs meat tranqs and levels for saddle. It is more powerful then a Rex on its hind legs. I don’t want anyone to be mad but the Rex is weak compared to the spino. I suggest skipping the Rex. Unless you have a tek rex saddle I would never tame one. Tame some yutys and spinos instead. -lava
Be careful when taming these guys in or around the swap. Leeches, if nearby, can and will attach to them after they're unconscious, and you can't remove them until after the dino is tamed. Beware the leeches.
I found the best way to tame aggressive and more dangerous creatures is to use Tapejara (saddle acquired at level 55). They can land on high and vertical surfaces while still allowing you to shoot. If the tame is not close enough to the ledge, I suggest shooting it or Argo-ing it to follow you. This method helped a lot i was able to easily tame a spino and Rex.
Build a pillar out of stone/metal foundations, about 7-8 high and shoot the rex from there. Keeping rex down won't be a problem unless you tame it with fish or just raw meat. Tame it with prime or mutton, and you'll get yourself a nice rex.
Well I don't know if it happen in pc because I am good with mobile control and play ark mobile but for me rex is soo much easier then taming spino you just need a high place where rex can't reach you and hit him with treanq arrow or tranquilizer dert until it got unconscious then just feed prime meat it won't take lot narcotic 10 is enough for me I didn't even needed narcotic I tamed a mex level rex without narcotic
You can find these bad boys in the mountains, snowy parts, and in the red woods. Use around 30 tranq arrows/darts to knock them out. Feed them raw prime meat or raw meat if you have the courage to wait and boom got the king of the dinosaurs.
Low levels are easy, get on a high rock and have a bow with tranqs and a spyglass (to watch its torpor) and when it runs away it will be knocked out. (I did this on carnivore island)
Go to a high place shoot it with tranqs and feed it raw prime meat don’t do extra
How to tame rex:
1) Get resources:
.Tranq darts (or tranq arrows, I prefer tranq darts) about 10-20
.Cooked prime meat or just normal prime meat about 20-50 raw meat and 10 prime meat( or cooked) (Normal meat will do)
(Cooked prime meat lasts longer)
.4 reinforced dinosaur gateways
.4 reinforced dinosaur gateway doors
. And a Rifle gun (for the tranq darts) or a bow (for the tranq arrows)
2) find a rex
3) trap the rex using the reinforced dinosaur gateways
4) tranq the rex (about 10-20 tranqs will knock it out)
5) feed the rex the meat
6) now you have your own pet rex!
I used this method and now I have 4 females and 2 male rexes!
Have fun and watch out for more tips from me!
