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
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.

If you want to tame a Rex you need too have a pteranodon and 100 tranq arrows then fly a bit away and shot
Use only bolas to tame it and you're good to go!
*Edit: good as dead*
The Rex, despite it’s reputation in media everywhere else is a piece of cake here in Ark. Maybe I might be exaggerating slightly since I got brutally mauled by one trying it on foot, granted I had 477 tranqs in my inventory but oh well. Anyway to tame the Tyrant Lizard King you need: A balm, kibble prime meat or scorpion kibble, Bio-Toxin 4 Stone Gates, 100-ish Tranq arrows, 1-3 Bear Traps, 900 armor at the minimum and an optional fast moving mount. Set up the Gates and Bear Traps in your hot bar, place 3 of the gates in this manner |_| and put the bear traps in it, then lead the rex on foot or with the mount to the trap, once the rex stops moving and starts biting put the gate. Now tranq it, and put the balm and either hunt for prime meat or put kibble, force feed bio toxin in this process. Voila, you now have the second most ferocious carnivore in Ark and the most Famous. Have fun with your new toy. - The Nameless Tuso
It was easier to knock out than I thought
i tame it be cause he stock in two woods so i just simply hit thei with bow and tranq arrow and boom i have a pet rexx😅😅
Hey just now playing people don’t have to use traps you can use cliffs and shoot from there and when he runs chase him And shoot in head with tray arrows and he will fall then kill something like diplo for prime they don’t do damage or kill a bronto with trike
It is easier with Qwetzal but if you do not have one second best option is with large bear traps
I guess you have to wait if you don't have kibble or prime meats. rex is easy to knock out. lol that thicc boi sure needs more raw meats
The same thing is that I have a good day
Get on top of a tall cliff to tame if you want to kill it use a long neck rifle still on the cliff
Crazy stamina drain I had to change the settings because of it
Make sure there are no other predators around. You will need to know this.
For the newer players that encounter one of these things. 9 times out of 10 a bronto will spawn next to this thing. If you don’t want to use a trap try to lead the Rex to the bronto and tranq it with a crossbow and you should have your Rex as long as the bronto doesn’t kill it. Note that this only works if the bronto is around the same level as the Rex that you are taming.
Step one: take 2 hours to find one Rex
Step two: get on big hill that Rex can’t reach
Step three: hit with tranq stuff
Step four: chase because Rex is a wimp
Step five: knock out and tame with meat
I recommend for taming a Rex efficiently and getting hold on them as they run and chase you is with an Argentavis. The Argy has all the things needed such as, a way to keep the distance from the creature/Rex, stamina, weight capacity, movement/movement speed, and if you get An Argy to a high enough level they can slaughter a lot of creatures in Ark. Be sure to put your Argy on passive and not to follow unless you want your creature your trying to tame dead.
How to tame any level Rex:
1: Build a pen out of either Dino gates or three high walls.
2: Build a 5 wall high tower at the end of the pen that’s not facing where the Rex is (you don’t want the pen to be too close or far away as when your are building it the Rex could just wander round the side and then it’s annoying to get it back into position).
3: Lure in the Rex with a flyer or if your really dumb then you could run away from it.
4: Lots of tranqs them throw in some narcotics or bio toxin.
5: Wait until it’s hunger is low then put in some raw prime meat mixed with some raw meat in case you run out or for when it wakes and you have a Rex!
Also you might want to farm some prime while you wait for the hunger to go down if your near the ice mountains then kill some penguins but always remember to check it’s torpor sometimes.
