Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
If you’re using the bear trap strategy and want to lead the Rex into your trap with a flyer, use a high lvl Pteranodon and avoid using an argy. When I tamed my first Rex I used my lvl 230 Pteranodon and it followed me into the trap first try. When I tamed my second Rex I was on my lvl 240 argy and the Rex would fight anything but my argy. It took half hour for the Rex and I to clear the entire area of any wildlife and for the Rex to finally follow me into the trap. After trapping it I realised it was too low for me to tranq safely so I waited another half hour for it regen to ~2/3 health. Still was a successful tame but had there been a few more brontos nearby the Rex probably would have died.
My little baby Rex is getting so big and fast almost as big as her mom, and she’s so juvenile. 😭
For once I will get 100% imprinting in baby Rex bench every time she just wants to walk every 30 mins the thought makes me so happy 100% imprinting
If your on easy they only take a few 15 tranqs you can easily outrun them. Once tamed their only downside is their stamina
Get some scorpions and whistle them to attack the Rex while you and your friend light it up with tranq arrows or darts. The best way to ko a Rex without any building nonsense. WARNING the scorpions WILL die.
I found a T Rex and got it to chase me, I ran to where there was a Brontosaurus and stood behind it. While the T Rex was busy with the brontosaurus I started hitting it with tranquilizer darts till it went down, Brontosaurus walked off and I tamed me a T Rex
Do not agrow it on the ground feels were it can get you get in a small place where it will still be argue and can’t reach
Kill the T. rex
Falcon will dno it for you
Of you want a Rex alpha you can spawn it with Summon MegaRex_Character_BP_C
Just make a giant bear trap and 4 stone gates and put the the stone gates in a U shape then put a giant bear trap in the middle, lure it in through the the giant bear trap without the gate when the giant bear trap is set when u hear the giant bear trap set off the last gate behind the rex then knock it out.
I’d recommend anyone to make a trap for anything in the game honestly since it’s soooooo much easier and safer (ik everyone says this and that) but making a trap is new player friendly and it will raise tame effectiveness
These guys normally spawn near cliffs so get on top of the cliff and shoot the rex with Tranq darts.
Me and my tribe mate tamed three rexs so I say get Tek armor fly using it and tranq it and we play on ark FINERCRAFT/ BOOSTED/ INSTAME/CLUSTER6 with mutations on valgeruo over Xbox one unnificul pc sessions
On ark mobile, you can do direbear persuit to get ascendant longneck and then start shooting t rex in da face
Just block it in a corner and its lvl 4 you will need atless 20 trank darts
I use the trap method if there is a lot of hostile creatures nearby but if theres only the rex and herbivores then i just tranq it on foot
Make a trap, of you have doedic, stego, smithy. There not hard to make, its minimum of 3 behemoth gateways, max of 5 if ur worried about ur abikity to space. Put down two gateways on both sides, and have one open, lure it in, close other gateway when its in.
Then you don’t have to worry about anything and just shoot it
Plus this becomes a multi use trap to get griffins, wyverns, argies and anything else thats small enough to fit and big enough to were it cant get through your gaps
you don't need fancy traps or anything like that, if you skill in movement speed you can outrun it easily and turn around to get 2/3 shots on it(i was lvl 25 and tamed a lvl 80(bring backup biws if you don't have the crossbow))
When I tame these things, I just run and then get behind it and shoot it as much as possible while it takes like an hour to turn around and just keep repeating that until KO
Super easy to tame hardest part is nocking it out. Get on a hill and shoot it with Tranqs. Takes like 1 min and 20-30 meat to tame
