Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
here is something that would be cool in ark.
you know, scientists wonder why the T-rex have them tiny arms. they are so short they cant do much, so people have very few ideas because of what is known about these beasts. but some think they uses there claws to poke into dinosaurs that are hard fights such as a T-rex would hold down a smaller but big enough for its tiny arms to hold. so i think it would be cool if rexes in ark could hold down big and only big dinosaurs.
punch the sky if you think would be something you would think nice to be a bigger stronger animal for the end game, i never get many so just if you can.
Easy tame on genesis 2 just fly above it with your free tek suit
Easy levels on a map with explorer notes
Easy Ascendant saddles with genesis 1 mission: hide and sink
Easy breeding on genesis 2, do maewing race, it will give you faster raising buff, get egg incubator from a drop to hatch eggs easily.
Use with imprinted Yutyrannus to kill whatever you feel like killing. - Layth
If you need rexes with good levels on the island... just take a powerful tame to the carnivore island (in the top right corner of the map) and kill everything you see. Sooner or later you will get what you need. (You don't need to leave the island for them to respawn I believe).
If you wanna tame anything just get something beefy you can shoot off of and hope
Here’s how your going to tame this hunk of junk:
You will need: longneck rifle with tranq darts (or a bow with tranq arrows if not at that level) and a huge rock.
Stand on top of the huge rock and shoot him in I’ve stomach or the head till he drops then feed him raw meat and narcotics until he becomes your Rex!
Bring a stack of Tranq arrows, a bow, 30 narcotics and a flying boi. Then you gotta find one lead it to a big ol rock that it can’t get on and shoot it until it runs then chase it down and tame. Need at least 4 stacks of meat or kibble or whatever
The way I tried to tame mine (I didnt wanna tame it tho this works best for any situation) put down a three by three of stone foundations (anything under stone will be destroyed) and four levels of door frames with two levels of walls on top. use tranc darts for the best results.
Need to know before taming! On mobile, the Rex has very high torpor!!! It took me 30 - 50 darts from my mastercraft longneck rifle to bring down a 135. Make sure to bring lots of extra darts!!
Just knocked out a level 145 Rex with 29 train darts !
the best places to find. 1: arctic. 2: top of redwoods. 3: around mountains. 4: bottom of red woods. to tame it just get fast mount and shoot it while its distracted on a tame or wild animal and just shoot it. if you tame it with only a sling shot your either a man, or a idiot.
how to tame a rex:
- rides a raptor
-Take meat (raw early is the best)
-take narcoberries, narcotics, biotoxin...
- run behind the rex he doesn't know how to turn around
- shoot tranquilizer arrows at his behind
when he is asleep watch him prevent him from waking up but don't worry there is only a giga who will attack him...
To tame this beast you will need 3 behemoth gates 2 behemoth doors a longneck rifle or crossbow about 100 Trank arrows or a 100 Trank darts. This will depend on its level though next you will place your behemoth gates close enough the Rex can’t get through but far enough apart you or you and your Dino can get out than place the doors on both ends open 1door than get the Rex to chase you in to the trap run out the side and shut the door then shoot it with the tranks until he or she is out than feed prime meet muten or kibble then he or she is yours. The other methed if you have a flyer with a lot Stam and speed get you tranks and shoot it till it gets close hop on your tame fly a little way away hop of and shoot it again and repeat until it is nocked out if this was helpful press the arrow that points to the sky if you need more help gust get on you tube and search how to tame a rex
One time I knocked out a high level rex that I randomly by running around its feet and shooting at it, just stay behind it and you’ll be fine. I do recommend having metal armor just in case though
If you try this it's not necessary just get allo or carno
How to tame rexy (ark mobile exclusive)
All you need is
Tranq arrows and darts (bring plenty, about 200)
150 bio toxins
Prime meat 50
Soothing balm(if possible)
They are found in snowy mountains and they respawn pretty fast
Just aggro one and run while shooting periodically, they run pretty slow-ish so yea, chase it when it starts torpor running until its unconscious
Keep an eye on him cus they might get conscious and boom rexy has been successfully tamed, the pc version of trying to tame it is a lot more harder and takes skill but mobile is basically rex running
Tame a high level argy and use it to lead the Rex into a trap with three stone gates and a large bear trap in the center, when the Rex gets immobilized by the trap, run behind and place a fourth gate behind it and shove tranqs until it’s out. BAM! Rex
Don’t tranq it near the beach, it might run into the water and kill itself
U can u have a Dino that has tons of health and while the Rex is going for it tranq the Rex
Get on a cliff and tranq it like hell
Btw there is no head multiplier, shoot it in the body where you likely won’t miss, and you can get on an elevated platform. Once it starts running shoot very slowly, once every 6 seconds for max efficiency, be extremely cautious. I once tamed a tek stego lvl 162 and I shot it when it was about to fall. I lost 20% taming effectiveness. Also tek Rex’s (and any other tek variants) can be like ten levels higher than normal even on official. Also if you aren’t using prime then that’s a big mistake, make prime your minimum. At least use mostly prime and finish with normal meat.
