Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
Quick tip cuz I learned this:
It really isn’t that hard to tame one depending on its level (for this example this is gonna be a low level one). For the bare minimum, you’ll need tranq arrows, some kind of bow, and a lotta meat (if we’re just talking about raw meat maybe like 80 would be good). If you can’t outrun the Rex, have some kind of speedy creature with decent stamina. Again, in this example I’m talking about low levels (1-45 I think). If it’s a higher level, investing in a trap might be better.
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

Well it's is a knockout take u should tame a flyer like a quetz platform saddle but then at least 110 tranq should do it prime meat or kibble
If you want to tame this massive behemoth it’s pretty slow and you should be able to knock it out from it but if you want to trap it; I recommend one of captain fatdogs videos
1. Get a scorpion, kapro or 600 tranq arrows
2. Only upgrade health on the scorpion!!
3. Attack while riding scorpion or use tranq arrows.
4. Make sure you have meat- prime meat works best!
5. Shove food in it's mouth
6. 👍
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
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)
Step 1.get a bow or crossbow
Step 2.get a crap ton of trank arrows
Step 3.find a rex
Step 4. Find a cliff that the rex can’t climb
Step 5. Lur the rex to the cliff
Step 6.shoot the rex until it is knocked out
Step 7. Feed the rex raw meat/prim meat
Step 8. Enjoy Your rex
No real men knock it out with a club
All you need is a decent crossbow and some high ground with a good amount of Tranqs
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"
The safest way to find and tame a rex is to go to the winte- south zone 2 "alley" with the river that intersects into a swamp and another river that eventually goes to green ob
If you are playing casually and you pass through this area a lot one should spawn because it isn't rare for them to spawn here.
If you find a rex and it sees you it will start to prioritize you for a moment but if you have enough tranqs and movement speed you can run far enough away from it so that it will attack something else instead, then you can tranq while it is attacking the other creature.
If you don't you can just use a pternadon or anything thats faster than a trex then just dismount to tranq.
After you knocked it out you can get prime meat from stegos, diplos, or carnos that spawn in this area.
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.
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.
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
