Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
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.
YouTubers: we’re gonna need these stone gates
Me: *shoots it from atop cliff* All right, everyone, today we’ll tame a rex, the easy way!
One time I was on smalls and knocked out a 135 with a slingshot and my other friend. It had 50hp left and someone killed it when it tamed on a 365 mana
Knocking out a rex is easy get enough movement speed and just shoot it on a cliff if it gets on the cliff parachute down and shoot it.
DO NOT TRY TO TAME MATE BOOSTED X-REXES! Please for the love of god separate them. They take enough tranqs as it is, so don’t try it because you definitely won’t have enough tranqs to get them. I know from experience…
So I was level 81 looking for a Rex and found a lv 85 male I built a trap 16 stone door frames 4 wooden ramps and 4 stone foundations for the trap it escaped once but got back in and boo that thing was a pain it took almost all my tranq arrows and broke my crossbow and resorted to fists then I knocked it out and it was at 49hp I speed feed it meat to get its health back up then now I have a lv 125 male Rex!
I was bombarded by raptors while taming this but I managed to tame it after that I wondered how to get it to herbivore island and when I made him swim he swam fast, and way faster than me.
I would run away but not far to aggravate it to follow me and knock it out with either darts, tranq arrows, or a slingshot.
If you have a Sino or a tek suit u can just hover above it and shoot down and it will just stand still until they run from torpor
On extinction they can get stuck on mountains for an easy tame
