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

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.

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

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.

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.
