Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
Make a 6x4 stone or metal foundation base. Walls 3 high with gate for an exit. Put ramps on one side and pick up some prey with bird and kite it into the pin. Make a small tower to stand on outside to shoot rex. Also have spike walls to lay down in front of ramps so nothing else walks in and also some spikes to put down around Rex's head if it clips thru walls
Best way to tame most things actually is have a friend and an Argy and just shoot it from the sky and knock it out.
Use a raft 3x2 to tame. You can easily remove it from any other dinos for a safe tame. I usually like to take it back to my base to tame it up.
build a platform for your quetz. then have someone fly you over the top of the rex and begin shooting it. the rex will try toget to you but wont succeed. once down, land and pump it full of narcotics or narcoberries... then add the scorpion kibble
Have a tribe member hold you while on a Flying mount (Pteranodon,Agrentavis) and hover above the Rex and shoot it with tran'qs. When it's down, get spikes and surround it with them. Make sure you have a way to get in and out for any reason.
My Rex was tamed by the river near the green obelisk, and you want to know how I trapped her? I literally stood on top of a rock that she could have easily reached, and shot her with tranq darts. She just stood there. Doing nothing. Debbie was an extremely easy tame.
You should get to high ground to a point it can’t reach you then start shooting it (it’s best to use trank arrows or something like that)
Just lure them into a taming pen built with stone with your fly mount or fast mount for example gallimimus (RIP Genesis 😭) or raptors (RIP Blue 🥺) keep the pen away from your base. Check once in a while on it to trap it again if it managed to glitch out of the pen. Tranqs are ok or Toxicants are better. Feed soothing balm if possible to get a more outstanding result. Kibble is recommended but make sure you prepare those beforehand. If on mobile, that’s pulmonoscorpius kibble for you. If any other platform, Moschops or titanboa is suggested for you.
Just knocked one out with only 2 hp oof
How do you tame it faster when it’s knocked out
All x creatures take more tranq arrows and darts to knock them out. To save you some time Calculate the number of x creature you want to tame and whatever it says to knock it out times what ever you are using by 2.5, so if a Rex took 50 tranq arrows, an x Rex would take around 125 tranqs.
Tamed mine between the swamp and redwoods. Took me long, not because of knockin' it out but, because I kept forgetting the structures for my trap and the first ones, I brought the wrong Argy 😂 Then second I forgot my ramp. However it went well.
Just 3x3 foundations with 3 walls high, and ramp on and side, and you have a Rex trap.
I only tamed it when I was only Level 1 :D.It was a Level 16 Rex,I found it on Herbivore Island. Lol jk for my level,I was level 29 or 30.
Let me tell you how I got my Rexes I just got 10-15 Giant Bear Traps and placed it all down and and started using my tranq arrows and running to the bear traps like a PUS- and he would get stuck and still would want to chase me you poor bas- then he would try to run but I would chase him and knock him down.
To tame you will need to be near a cliff and have tranq arrows in a crossbow, once its knocked out you give it food... I did it with kibble it was easy
my red was easy for level 10 I used 5 electric prods and it was knocked out the pro way
Guys I found one at level 20 I'm at level 30 I was on a high ledge and I tamed it it was easy
I use minor soothing balm tho
If you have flak armour and 700 health you can just tame it without a trap by just shooting it and letting it bite you if it’s really low level like 40 at best
I'm a low level and saw a tek rex earlier today and turned around and ran as fast as I could well I checked behind me to check my progress in escaping and noticed its stuck in a rock, so I turn around and equip a club and beat it, had to repair that club 15 times but now I have a rex and am just cruising the beach and smoking everything
Make a pin out of stone gates leaving one end open. Drop a large bear trap inside. Lure the Rex inside slapping down last gate behind it. Make sure to kill everything around or be sad. Woot 2nd try 8)
