Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
He is so good so be ready to die
Get your Argy and make the Rex follow you to a beach or long flat area. Fly away from the Rex. Jump off your bird. Shoot Rex with tranq arrows. When Rex gets close, jump on your bird & do it again. Works well. I tamed several high levels this way.
So to tame I just placed a weird trap I meant for sure wolfs but the Rex fit in the trap idk how but I set it up using wood stairs I think like ten stone door wants and four stone foundation place 8 doorways around the place the 4 stairs both making an x and place 2 or4 in the corner and boom I also rocemmend direbear for this cause it’s a tank good for farming prime also bring lots of narcotics and tame
How to tame a Rex: Step 1. Get 10 tranquilizer darts- Step 2. Bring a couple dinosaurs if you want security but make sure they aren’t near the Rex unless you want him 💀. Step 3. Shoot the Rex from a good distance for a head start then when he notices run like hell. Step 4. Knock him out and bring 20 narcotics to keep him drugged I mean asleep. Step 5. Feed him prime meat, if he is a low level it should take like 8 prime meats. Step 6. Wait 10 minutes and it should work. I did this and now I have 5 of them 🫠
I just ran around a tree with tranq arrows in my crossbow lmao. He was a good distance away before I opened fire but having a meaty shield , like a bronto, is a good idea for them to munch on while you take them out. Just make sure health is stacked on your chomped boi. Happy hunting and good luck!
To tame a rex is “simple” knock it out with tranq darts and feed it meat, make sure you have a lot to narcotics to keep it asleep during the taming process, bring a weapon to fend off other nasties!
My Carno can wreck a Rex in five hits. Also you need a griffin if you want to shoot it from the air!
The alfha rex level 220 almost kill me and my 498 level spino idk why the alfha rex is so strong pls any tip how to kill it
This isn’t really helpful BUT Valguero has Rexes that come in larger pack than normal (up to SIX!) so be careful. I’m going after some lvl 37-40 females and a male
To the person who said, “I am standing on my new t-rex’s body”... ME TOO MAN! IM SO EXCITED!!!
I find that having decent armour, and just circling the rez (because they take forever to make sharp turns) is a good, resource friendly way to tame them. You may take a few hits but it should be okay if you have decent armour. I do this all the time and it never fails.
When your trying to tame a high level rex I reccomend having a quetz platform saddle and using that.
3x3 stone foundation with hole in middle if you want
2 high doorways all around (you can take out bottom layer if you have foundation support turned off)
3x3 or 3x4 ramp leading up to the pen attached to the doorways
He is a passive game very friendly don’t worry about what others say mine is named snuggles
You can roar well riding it. And it will smash rocks too.
Wonce you have them it will hiss like a snake
Just hit it with an ascendent club
Just tamed a 590 rex with 427 equus lol
Honestly just use an equus and knock it out with the back kick just dont kill it
Build a trap house with Dino gate and a reg door way at other end run straight through and around the side to close gate ehind it. Have window walls or a tall ledge you can shoot from and put it down. The trap house will also help tp protect it during taming from other creatures attacking it and ruining your efficiency.
