Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
Can you make it more easy hatching a Rex egg because it takes a while
First egg from breeding I got triplets
When I go Rex tameing I get close to 30 Trank arrows
Just in case I miss some shots but when you go tameing hit all head shots and I recommend using primaries triceratops ribs or mutton but you can use normal meat to
I'd prefer you use a crossbow and a tapejara on low lvl if on high use a tapejara or a long neck.
After you knock it out just leave it till it’s food gets to below half then pump it full of prime meat or kibble and it should tame real quick
When shooting go next to there feet and walk towards there tail in a cycle and he can't hit you
.
I legit just used a crossbow and 16 tranq arrows and I knocked Hulk out. So far he's my best boy🥰
I just tamed a Rex it took about ten toxcant arrows and about five tanq arrows to knock him out including missed ones really cool to have around and put him on neutral to protect your pets. Give it four pulminscopius kibble and you should have a Rex in ten minutes
Up if this helped
Ngl prob the easiest apex creature to tame in the game. Just make sure you have a low amount of weight on you and put 5-8 points into ur movement speed, you can pretty much outrun it and pelt it with tranqs.
On genesis 2, hover above it while shooting tranqs
Just like every carnivore in the game wild rexes will go for the nearest herbivore. So you if you are trying to lure one into a trap it would be best if you pick up a parasaur(or a deer if you're in the Arctic) with your Argentavis. It should help to get it trapped easily.
If u wanna tame a rex don’t use tranq arrows and a good tip for taking use gate and a bear trap for a ez knock out:)
I‘m level 35 and I tried to tame it for the first time. The Rex was lvl. 11. Unlucky it was near the ocean so he ran into it and disappeared. He was nearly knockouted. I think he died in the ocean. So guys be careful if you’re near water !!
So if you wish to tame a low level rex on the island you need a health boosted trike. Then you need about like, 20-35 tranq arrows because they have a massive torpidity pool, so then just shoot it's head until it is down, then you need bio toxin or narcrotic (bc the sleep berries won't do much) then shove da prime meat down it's throat until it urs, then give yourself a pat on the back
If you want to get a couple easy Rex, go to RG island. I found three normal, and 1 tek
Idiots idiots idiots you don’t need a trap just need a high-ish rock or something like that and a bow, crossbow, or some other thing that can shoot tranq stuff knock the Rex out feed regular meet or if you have any of the other stuff feed it that you don’t need as much narcotics and Dododex says btw you only need to feed narcotics once the consciousness is really low so you use less for my level 2 (which I had first thought was 26 bc it looked like the 26 had been in the place the 26 was and I had come for the 26) I only used 1 narcotic and I didn’t even really need to use it it just made me feel better and less nervous when I used it.
Resource intensive but easy and flexible trap to tame any (and many) rex:
1) Get a wooden raft
2) Place stone foundations 3 by 3 to make your raft indestructible by rexes (look up dropped raft foundation on utube to get the 3x3, it takes 10 seconds). You can also use a hatch frame over the rudder to still drive.
3) Fill in all sides with empty stone doorframes 2 high
4) Add wood ramps up the front of the boat so the rex can walk over to get in
5) Park the boat anywhere near rexes, lure your favorite into the trap and tranq through the open walls from safety, the rex can’t get out
Now you have an easy and mobile rex trap that works for plenty of other dinos too :) I’m not sure if you can drive around with the rex while it’s unconscious, but you can always build a couple spike walls to keep other dinos away. Enjoy my favorite trap in Ark and have fun with free rexes!
Use a fast flyer ( wywren,snow owl,Griffin......) Then go in large circles while every bit stoping, shooting and realising till he's out. Then kill a stego or two to get enough RAW prime
I would usually build a trap using behemoth gates and than tranq it out with tranquilizer darts or shocking darts
Pretty simple tame just use your ordinary stone pitfall trap. You’ll need about 75 tranqs for a 150. They don’t take headshots so don’t bother with them. You’ll need rex’s For the boss fights on the island especially.
