Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
I recently tamed a Rex and it was not that hard at all. So if the Rex u are looking for is level 1-15, Then you only need like 30 tranquil arrows. Just find a hill bigger than the Rex and can’t be climed by one, Then get its attention and start shooting. Just don’t let anything eat it when it gets knocked.
go to carnivore island there are some of them
it took very long to tame it but it was worth it:
u need:
1-3 beartraps (it's possible he doesn't get in one)
much tranq arrows(i didn't count them but it took long)
some meat (i always carry 30 with me to tame a carnivore just to be prepared)
i found two in the southeast on the coast near herbivore island. i placed the beartrap and shot him with tranq arrows then i ran to the beartrap and he got caught i kept shooting him and when he was sleeping i tamed him with the meat
i did this again with the other one
up for prince and princess
The Rex are very slow . Put a stone gates around him while he is stuck and use a bear trap then put the x3-x4 stone gates then tranq him out . Make sure you clear the area before setting the bear traps others creature can spring it and u would be left with using your self or a tanky dino for a distraction
U can knock it out with a primitive crossbow u just need a high ground or a dino with a lot of healt atleast 1 and half k and u shall be good
If you sink a ton of tranqs into it and it runs away and suddenly turns on you, its not trying to eat you. Their AI isnt the best and they get stuck on everything. They are just struggling on a nonexistant wall and are taking the long way around. Continue tranqing.
Taming one of these is actually pretty easy. All you need to do is find one, get to high ground or you could be on tape or a quetzal platform saddle ( make sure they are on follow). Shoot it in the face, that is most recommended, kill all other dangerous creatures in the areas harvest them and most of them should give you prime. Then feed prime and you have a new Rex! Good luck.!
Honestly, these are really easy to tame.
Get 100 tranqs, 60-80 narcs, (i reccomend 80 just to be safe) And 100+ fish meat.
Get 1 stone base, 2 tall stone walls (or metal), and 6 stone ceilings (To have space to land a flyer).
Make sure the walls are on only 1 side, so it should be 8 single walls tall. Or you can use a Tapejara.
Pick a flyer with a decent amount of health, just incase something goes wrong. I recommend a high-level Argie.
Build it by a Rex, Land and shoot. Chase it when it starts running away.
After its knocked out, you can put you flyer on Neutral, so it can distract anything.
Rexes eat fish meat quicker, so use that. Monitor the Rex's Torpor levels, and feed it narcs.
Now you have a Rex! Now you can get another one so they can breed, and now you have a Rex army.

If you wanna an easy way to bring a rex to trap or below a cliff, tame dodos or any small creatures a pteranodon can pick up. They will follow if your carrying any small creature, I have done it with not only rexs but raptors as well.
I hope this helps you to bring the dino you want to tame into a trap.
Yep, tamed it with tha ascendant bow tranq thing, another hint, get a LOT of Bio Toxin

Youtubers make giant traps that require a ton of prep without a Doedicurus. You can tame one with bear traps in half a second. Also, use bio toxins instead of narcotics.
Every 10 levels equals 1000 torpor, so a 150 will have 15000 torpor
Keep that in mind
you can use grappling hooks to hook onto your flyer in the air, to hang below your flyer but above the ground so you can just shoot it with tranq darts while you are up there. not sure what flyers it works on specifically, but i know it works for the quetzal and pteranodon.
I legit knocked one out with frog
In ragnarok, Viking bay 1 and 2 theres a big skeleton Rexs cant get in to unless they go to the back but once you find a rex go to inside it all the way to the back in the middle and shoot it with slingshots if your low level but if your high level than use tranq darts so you dont waste tranqs since you have a lot of time Depending on your level if your under level 69 than get a rex under level 100 or you'll be there forever but if your over level 69 get a Rex over level 100. On the island theres a cave on carnivore island go inside it and follow the ragnarok rules.In the center use a raptor level up its movement speed and stamina and run while shooting it with tranqs and it will run away or it wont either way chase it or keep shooting and then it will be tamed. There are many other ways to tame rexs but but i found these easier somehow. good luck with the taming!
Just tamed one I will tell you my experience, so I found one and shot it with tranc DARTS (but tranc arrows work just as well although you need a few more :)) and it kept on getting deststracted by other Dino's which made it not attack me, so after I knocd it out I killed the other animals attacking the unconchis body with my Pump shotgun and gave it raw meat and a couple of bio-toxins and boom I got Rexy I hoped this helps on your next Rex tame

Just shoot with tranqs and use prime that’s what I did
I knocked out one of these lvl 16 bad boys at level 42 with nothing but an ascendant bow and about 37 tranqs, YEET, further updates if I tame it, quick hints if you try to copy me, do the hunt Dilophosaurus pursuit, then find a cliff and start firing.

Y'all should use the strave taking method. Which is when you'll trap the rex in stone gates, you sleep in a bed and wake up. Then knock the rex out and feed it raw meat(not prime) and it'll take in a few minutes
if my eggs are incubating while i’m offline, while the babies survive for 18 hours without me imprinting them?
