Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
bruh u guys make thing complicated just get a tapejara get on it's back and shoot that mf in its head when it tries to flee get back on the rider seat and chase it until its unconscious its so simple trust me I tame every Dino with this strategy.
up if u think this is useful
I DON,T THINH I CAN DO DAT!
And how to get 2 levels
Get on your breed and imprinted thyla and just tank it while you knock it out.
Give it a PrimeMeat to tame faster
If your on foot run!!! And dont even bother looking back ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Pretty easy to tame when you have the correct equipment, but extremely useful creatures. Get yourself a reasonably sized tame hole with 3 high stone walls, ramp on one side, door on the opposite and a dinosaur gate (worked for spino's as well) for the end... If your movement speed is good enough lead it into the tame hole, run out the other side and shoot it with tranq darts until it's down. Keeps you safe without much stress during the entire taming process, and is even better if the hole is close to your base along with the Rex's themselves. We currently have 6 within our tribe... One of the best tames to have imo.
Run away
I have 5
No your options if u do not have a quetzal to use and knock it out find a cliff and drag the Rex over with either a Dino of yours or hit it with a tranq if u are high enough u will get to shoot it without home hitting u
I think you should consider a Spino before a Rex as Spino is better for prime runs. It can easily get prime for taming the Rex
If you have a tamed argy just shoot it in the face with tranqs have a buddy hold you over it and ko that guy
Get your slingshot out and just run pick up rocks and keep pelting it with rocks
You just shoot it with trancs and knock it out.
Since rexes are fairly slow when they're wild, try my method: Use a pteranodon or something that flies fast, make him aggro on you, fly away, jump off, shoot in face, jump on yer bird again, fly away,repeat..
Stand on a rock, just ok'd a lvl 55 with 1 boomerang and some patients.
Be prepared...
50 / 100 arrows incase you miss
Good armor incase it bites u
Bring enough Kibble
A fire or fur armor incase its cold
1 quetz optional but will make life easy if u hover above and shoot
Spikes to surround once out cold
Build a 3x3 stone foundation on a raft, replace the foundation where you sit to control the raft with a stone hatchframe and hatch. Put stone walls 3x3 tall on the back of the raft, using 2 stone window frames and a stone doorframe/door on the bottom most lair. Put 2 stone fence foundations on each end of the walls, moving toward the front of the raft. Place a stone dino gateway and gate on each of those fence foundations. Place a wall 3 stone walls tall next to the dino gates, with stone window frames as the bottom layer. Place a wall 2 stone walls tall across the front of the raft. Place a row of 3 wooden ramps on the outside of the raft, starting at the top layer of walls on the front of the raft, down towards the water. Finally, place one layer of stone ceilings around the raft to the front, just before touching the ramps themselves. Now you can lure a Rex in there over the ramps, and escape on foot through the back door, or use a bird to lure it and land after it is caught.
There is a blind spot near the tail of the Rex where it's turning raidus won't allow it to hit you, and you circle the Rex and stay in the blind spot it will go down. Good luck!
Depending on where you're downing the Rex in question and what you have at your disposal, a fairly tall stone outpost tower or on the back of a quetzal have worked wonders for me. However, depending on your landscape and resources luring it towards a cliff to where it can't reach you is the best option if all you have on you is literally the tranqs, narcs, and maybe food depending on if you're meat or kibble taming. Just remember to be aware of your surroundings for any tame that starts a conforntAri
150 Rex with kibble is really good you can get its health up to 15k
