ONCE I FOUND A 25 TO 27 LEVEL REX IT WAS A FEMALE WHEN I CHECKED HER HEALTH AND TORPOR WITH MY SPYGLASS I WAS HER HEALTH WAS 1500+ AND HER TORPOR 4100+ WELL I TAMED HER AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS WELL IN THOSE SHE DIED BUT THE FINAL ATTEMPT WAS WITH VERY PATIENCE THE WAY THAT SHE ALIVE AFTER GETTING KILLED BY ME WAS THAT WHEN SHE DIES I CLOSE THE GAME AND THE DATA WAS NOT SAVED
Just tried taming a Rex. I brought a bit more tranqs than the taming calculator told me too. I hit the Rex with every shot and low and behold. Not even half torpor done. The calculator has been off for me before but not by this much. Just letting you know so you don't almost die like I did :)
Ok thank you helped me,my Rex lvl 49 has got alone and kiled more than 2 args and a Rex lvl 6
First get a ascendant rifle then load it with 200+ tranq darts the. When it’s knocked out put spikes around it (wouldn’t recommend metal as it uses too much metal ingots) then go to the south zone 2 cave and get the artifact and then tribute it for a soothing balm then after that feed the red then go to sleep then when you wake up get your Dino and kill a low lvl stego nearby for prime meat and feed it to the Rex
Want a op Dino here
Step one find a Rex
Step two knock it out woth tranq dart or arrows and surround it with fences
Step three give it prime or reguler meat and bring naracotics
Step 4 if you want to tame a really high level bring soothing balm
Step 5 get a saddle for it
And boom tamed
How to tame a Rex
Step 1 find a Rex
Step 2 bring tranq darts or tranq arrows whatever you prefer
Step 3 bring naracotics
Step 4 knock it out
Step 5 give it prime or reguler if you have no prime
Step 6 wait for it to tame and surround it with wooden spike walls to be safe
And boom the Rex should be tamed oh and when you find it probably make a trap these guys are strong
How to tame a Rex.
1-you can outrun it eazily by using a raptor or a flying mount while keeping ahead of it and getting off and pelting it with tranq ammo of your choice,use dinosaurs that yih can use your tools and weapons on its back,a raptor or any others could work,even without a fast tame,you can outrun it with 120+-130 movement speed.
the second method is:
2-using a trap for the Rex,a trap that's wooden will work,but it's risky as if you use it on a high level Rex it will break the wood very eazily,I reccomend a stone trap,as it cannot damage stone structures,the trap that's 2 walls high and 3 walls in widgh should work,attract it's attention and lure it in into the trap and outrun it,once it's in the trap,pelt it with tranq ammo until it's knocked out,keep it asleep(it's torpor goes down quite slowly,but it has alot of torpor so bring alot of tranq ammo)use narcotics or biotoxin,use a soothing balm for high levels and in ark mobile also use a soothing balm,use raw prime meat or raw meat,for a high level I reccomend you use it's preferred choice of kibble,which is the quetzal kibble.
3-you've now got a Rex!now I will tell you it's advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages:it's base damage is 75(level1),and has a big hitbox when attacking,also it's hitbox is pretty big like I said,so you can land extra hits when a Dino is trying to get to you.
Disadvantages:it has poor stamina,slow swim speed,and kinda slow movement speed that's close to a raptors.
Fun fact:it's saddle is unlocked at level 74.
I recommend use a taming trap if you don't have the materials to do that then just get high ground And shoot it
Make sure to bring 2 crossbows if its over level 150. I tamed a level 130 with a max durability crossbow and it only had 5% durability left by the end
If you want to tame a Rex you have come to the right person
Prepare:
•Stack of 50 knockout ammo (tranq darts or tranq arrows)
•Weapon (crossbow, bow, rifle)PS: make sure your weapon is at full durability!
•Taming food (I recommend the pulminoscorpus kibble but any meat will do)
•A LOT of Bio toxin or narcotics(I don’t recommend narcoberries)
•I recommend to bring a strong saddled tame that is tall enough so raptors can’t get you ( they are a challenge without a mount)
Knockout:
There are two methods of knockout
Method 1: TRAP
First grab 9 to 16 large bear traps and arrange them as shown:
@@@. @@@@
@@@ or @@@@
@@@. @@@@
And grab a flying mount (I recommend pteranodon or tapejera)and get the Rex to agro on you and follow you and run him into the bear traps and fire away. Feed him the food and voila you have a Rex
Method 2: THE CHEAP AND EASY
This is a much easier method than method 1 but it can be dangerous
So find a cliff that is tall enough so the Rex can’t reach you and fire away(be careful because if you fall off the cliff you can kiss your entire ark legacy goodbye)
And either way works but they require different skill sets. And make sure you feed the Rex the bio toxin constantly and you have yourself the ultimate boss fighter!
baby’s like stego kibble it says i need more words
Tip: If you play with friends like me, get a flying bird of some type that can carry things and have your friend fly the bird pick you up and shoot your new huge Dino with tranq arrows/darts!
The way I tamed my Rex is I k.o-d it and put wooden spike walls around so pluminos and theriz couldn’t get me
Get on a cliff to where i cant bite u and shot it when it starts running chase
You don’t need a trap to tame these, there are less costly taming methods.
1-This only works for low levels but if you line up a bunch of large best traps and bait a Rex into it it is a pretty easy tame.
2-If you use a creature you can shoot off of you can just follow the Rex around shooting it until it is knocked out.
3-If you get on to a hill or big rock that the Rex cannot get on to you can just shoot it from there until torpor run then chase it with a relatively fast creature to finish knocking it out.
I have never used a trap but from what I have seen and experienced using a trap is much easier than any of the methods listed above.👍
True men tame with a ramshackle crossbow and a rock!
How to easily tame a rex:
1. Get a sarco (easy tame) and crossbow with tranq arrows
2. Find a preffered level rex
3. Lure it into a river
4. Keep swimming up and down the river with the sarco. The rex is a slow swimmer.
5.tranq it out
6. Get prime meat and feed. dont worry about kibble, as prime meat is easier.
7. You will not need narcotics (at least i didnt need them)
8. Enjoy your powerhouse of rex! ;)
Just go and punch it out like a boss
