Easiest tame ever u need 15 to 50 tranq arrow depending on level and a 700 hp iguadon or gallmis (seriously) with a crossbow run and hit him till knocked out feed it anything u got wait here is ur rex and after u get 2 u have a infinite rex factory ( a spino is better but harder than this to tame in early time)
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

There easy tames no traps needed just use a tranqs and crossbow rifle optional
Me and my big brother tried to tome it with 50 tranq arrow and crossbow and it ran out and I don't know how we tame him after it with sling shot and patience
I was 7 and my brother was 10 so don't think we were idiot "we were idiot tbh"
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)
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

How to tame any knockout creature in ark
First trap the creature then place a bed or sleeping bag sleep and wake up start to tranq the dino then put the food in its inventory it’s ok if you don’t have kibble use prime meat if it’s a carnivore use mejoberries if it’s a herbivore and look at the taming going to 100% under 5 minutes
For me, traps are never necessary unless it’s for an Argy, even then, I’ve managed to tame one of those just by using the environment as a weapon, untill it trapped itself without me wasting any resources,
Anyway, I got a 140 level Rex from Carno island tamed by riding my Direwolf and running circles around it, tranqing it without it hitting me except once or twice , easy tame without any traps!.
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.
Just place dino frames like this \_/. Make sure it Is In a plain surface AND when u get the rex into the trap just put the fourth frame behind And shoots it tranqs. Really easy
A good tip is if you dont have enough resources to build a trap from any material get on a high enough ledge so it can’t bite i tamed a 75+ with no trap with an two darts and 40 arrows
If you want to find high level rexes ho to the snow biome, trust me.
Get a friend with a flying mount and let him hold you as you shoot it in the face. Then build a wall around it.
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.
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.
