Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
Honestly I’m the odd one out... I tamed one with a journey bow and a dire bear. No gates no platforms nothing. Just a bow a bear and patients. Hmph I’m weird
Written April 30 2020
My speed is actually faster than any wild rex. So I just run for a few seconds, turn around and shoot it in the face and repeat.
Equipment Taming
1 Longneck Rifle.
Around 200 Darts incase. Depends on lvl
4 Stone gates.
1 Large bear trap.
Place 3 gates next to the large bear trap.
Get the rex attention and run past the bear trap.
Until the rex gets stuck in the trap.
Then place 1 gate behind the rex don't get to close.
Then shoot rex until it knocks out.
This also works with spino
How to raise and tame a good Rex
1. Use crossbow with tranq arrows or rifle with tranq darts
2. Find the Rex a tough opponent to defeat
3. While he or she is fighting, open fire on the king or queen
4. Once the Rex is down feed it prime meat alongside with normal meat in case you run out of prime
5. Use narcotics on higher levels bio toxin might be needed.
6. Once the Rex awakens take them hunting for large dinos and bosses too but they have to be extremely high level
7. When leveling up switch between health and dmg upgrades
Please take good care of your tyrannus. PEACE

Dont be scared of them, get a flyer and make sure to have a high health and stamina, fly at him (make sure its only one or your dunso) and let him take a bite of your flyer once in a while then lead him into a square wall of dino gates with a trap in it. Once he is stuck quickly close up the open gate, laugh at him and shoot him (alot)
If on the island, just place a 3x3x3 trap with stone doorframes in a flat area in snow biome. Metal/wood ramps on one side. Pretty much anything will fit except titan. Idk if gigga fits. Place a bed/sleeping bag on the side and u can take anything.
Why do big carnivores attack almost every thing they see? i found another high level rex i lead it to a cliff with my spino i put the spino on the cliff but the rex attacked carnos and the carnos killed it… just why? do big carnivores hate everything? irl they aint evil or have anger issues they just kill for food but in ark they attack anything even when theyre not hungry i hope wildcard adds a hunger feature for creatures so carnivores dont have anger issues in ark 2
If you play ark mobile please answer. I wanted to tame a 145 rex and he never made it to the trap because he died to a 125 tickle chicken. I have his implant to revive him. It cost 40 amber, and I have 37. I can get this amber in 2 daily pursuits. Tell me should I revive him. Yes or no. Someone comment if yes or no on Everything Else New.
I am a noob,level 24, and I knocked one of these bad bois out without a trap or anything.
Explination: I grabbed thirty tranq arrows,thirty-six narcs and went over to a cliff and started shooting it took only 13 of the arrows because #1 im on mobile, and #2 because it was low level.
I hope you enjoyed my lil explination :)
All you need is a decent crossbow and some high ground with a good amount of Tranqs
If you are like a *hillbilly* in ark like me reads are easy to tame just get on a cliff with a slingshot and trans bow and then proceed to knock it out do this with regular levels high levels I don't know
- @nother random kid
Don't die...... but for real you can just go somewhere it can't get you and spam thank arrows til it gets knocked out.
Place 1 stone foundation near the rex you want to tame, (not too close) then 1 doorframe and door, both stone. Then place 3 stone walls around it. Add an extra layer on top of the base structure of stone doorframes then cap it of with a ceiling. Shoot the rex to get it’s attention, then run inside and the rex won’t be able to hit you, but you’ll be able to shoot it. This trap also works for Spinosaurus and dire bears.
For me personally I took a ascendant crossbow and it took me 6 shots to knock out a level 60 and sooner or later he will be a happy boi
No need for traps. Get a crossbow with tranq arrows (fifty if yiur by yourself and 30 each with multiple players) get high ground or tank hits like a beast, and fire away.
If you're using a taming pen for rexes, build it at least three walls high. Sure you are able to keep it inside the two walls high pen, but an especially cheeky rex might climb out of it, which is definitely not going to end well for you.
These aren’t as hard as people say they are to tame. Get about 30 tranqs, get on a rock, and shoot. Kill a diplodocus, feed the Rex the prime meat, BOOM! You have a Rex tame.
In my 4yrs of ark experience I use eqqus to tame these. You can pump health and some melee but not too much or you can possibly kill the rex. You can just follow them around and kick them to sleep. Super easy.
