Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
Always tame your rexes on the outer parts of Carno Island. Lure one without attracting anything else, then bear trap it, I sent a buttload of tranqs into its face. It can’t run because it’s in the bear trap. (MOBILE) (THE ISLAND MAP)
These things are slow as heck, just run and shoot it and your good. Just make sure you do run into anything that will kill you or your Rex.
How many tranquilizer darts will it take to knock it out
Easy just get the high ground then use around 40 (tranq) arrows or around 18 toxicant arrows then feed it raw or prime meat when its unconscious
You need a stone trap make it of foundations , door frames and ramps btw it is better on a raft because you can travel with it
50 toxicant arrows and high ground will knock them out and adding soothing balm and plenty of meat add 10x your taming speed I got an easy tame with a level 7 it’s health was at 450 out of 1100 so to easy in my opinion but cool Dino
A good ark YouTuber to watch is phlinger phoo
To all of the ark newbies out there, YOU CAN TAME THIS ONE YOU HAVE CROSSBOWS AND TRANQ ARROWS!!! Since rexs are slow, you can run a good distance and bombard tranq arrows to its face. Feel like you want more of a challenge? Use it’s big Turning radius, it’s large enough for you to stay near its leg and not get bit, and it’s small enough to stay near its leg and not get bit. I knocked out a lvl 80 only using a crossbow and a lvl 10 pteranodon. If you are going to tame one, BRING TRANQ ARROWS! This thing takes a lot of tranqs to knock out and you can miss your shots (unless you have aimbot). Happy taming!
Stand on a cliff and shoot the Rec with Tranqs. You'll need a flyer though.
Craft about 20-25 stone pillars and ladders to go with it. Once you find a Rex go to a nearby safe location then Boulder a tower of pillars then add ladders. Use a flying mount with good stats (like argent) to lure the Rex to the pillars then hop on to the pillars and knock it out. You can also use a very high leveled quetz instead of pillars but you need tons of stamina and HP.
It should have very low torpardity
get on a cliff with your flyer and shoot him. they are terrible at running, just make sure there aren’t any more rexs around.
I tamed 4 by shooting it off a cliff

Unless i got lucky, taming isnt that hard.
Me (with a normal crossbow and tranq arrows) and my level 7 baryonyx knocked one out pretty easily.
Have tribemate pick you up with griffin claws, have home fly you above the Rex while you shoot it with shocking tranq darts, ez clap. Kill all other threats in the area then put your food on the Rex and have saddle ready to go.
I easily tamed a lvl 15 Rex with just a lvl 30 raptor and tranq arrows he's quite easy to tame just make sure he's the only big carnivore around otherwise you'll get overpowered but that's why u have a raptor or two and maybe dilo just in case that happens

Don’t try to tame a apex Rex with normal arrows you will die of old age
Find a cliff get about 100 tranq arrows just in case and shoot it, simple, easy, fun.
I knocked out level 120 rex with 12 toxic arrow and tame it with kibble and 15× shooting balm about 1 minute
The best way to tame one is to tame a quez and hit it with tranq it from above
