Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
If you want narco berries then get a stegosaurus
You shouldn't really need a trap or alot of tranq they are pretty hard to miss head shot or miss and if you have bumped your movement a little you can easily out run a wild rex get distance fire a few tranq run shoot etc... it's torpor is so slow even if you leave for a few minutes to make a new bow or narc. It shouldn't matter at all super easy and able to do on foot by the time you can make tranq arrows
iLive next to alpha Rex and i tame her!
If you’re like me and don’t have anky’s or dodek’s to grind for materials, just get your movement speed up to 145%. This allows you to outrun them easily. Also, I play on 0.5 difficulty, so the max level of creatures that spawn is 60. I also have taming rates doubled. Just run away from the rex and periodically turn around and shoot it. I like to do this on the east side of the island by the big mountain. That way the beach is fairly safe and there is lots of room for the rex to start torpor running. The water usually isn’t a big problem. I just tamed two rexes this way!
relatively easy trap: 4 stone floors going in a box or square shape, then 2 stone doorframes high placed on top of the floors, leaving no spaces behind (16 doorframes), then two wooden ramps placed on any side of the doorframes. next, lead the Rex inside the trap and escape using the open doorframes. I recommend prime meat (will usually take narcotics, but I prefer biotoxin to keep them sleeping) or the kibble needed for the Rex.
please don’t challenge a giga with a Rex.
I would say to build a 9x9 stone platform with a one lvl of wall and place it near your base then go and find a high lvl rex with your rhynionatha since it can carry rexes then pick him and bring him to your base drop him In the platform you made he won't be able to do anything and you can easily knock it out ( if rex is hitting your rhynionatha midair try to fly diagonally this will prevent rex from hitting you)
These guys are so slow that I tame them without trapping them no matter the level
Step 1:raged all day look of one
Step 2:have a shot 100 tranquilizeing darts
Step 3:take the lives of land animals
Step 4: feed the Rex the Rew meat and if it going to wake up give it narcotics.
Step 5: have a good friend to make you a Rex satled.
And if you not find cry your self to sleep
I tamed one at lvl 45 and its really easy
Step 1:
Get biotoxin (preferably) or narcotics, maybe also narcoberries
Step 2: Get raw meat, prime meat, or mutton
Step 3: Get a bow, crossbow, or longneck.
Tranq arrows for bow and crossbow, tranq darts for longneck or other rifles
Step 4: Find rex
Step 5: Get on rock and bring and shoot (bring a fast or flying tame just in case, its optional)
Step 6: Once it’s knocked out, feed it the meat that I preferred
Step 7: Feed it, wait, and feed it toxins or narcotics when unconscious level is low
Step 8: Wait.
Step 9: Once you have tamed it, congrats! You have one of the most powerful non-boss creatures!
Extra: It’s saddle unlocks at lvl 74
I tamed a level 34 with no traps no tame where is my medal?
This is a tip for majority of large attack dinos like spino and all.
Just fine a high terrain or rock from where you can shoot from above. No need to build costly traps. Believe me, finding a high ground is much faster than farming for so much metal and rocks.
Rex are really slow so just hit with tranq arrow run turn around hit with tranq arrow and repeat, then feed it prime meat, wait and it’s tamed
to tame a rex: go on a ciff here it can touch you and shoot it till it fall as sleep and use prime raw meat
Hamburger cheese burger big Mack whopper
This is the first tip that was made for the rex trust. This will be an early game tame. You can use a club or slingshot, I prefer to use a Bola too. It will be stronger than a giga. Saddle will be unlocked at like level 35 so great tame for early game.
My personal favorite method of taming if hellfire off the tapejera. Wait between every shot or just pump it up until it has more narcotics than blood in its system.
How to tame!
1#. Find a stego. This will replace tranqs.
2#. Find a T. Rex. This will be a host and future tame.
3#. Lead the Rex to the stego. Let them fight. The Rex will 1. Kill the sego, 2. Die or 3. Get knocked out.
4#. If the Rex gets knocked, kill Mr. Stego.
5#. Feed Rex meat from stego
6#. Name your Rex after your favorite action movie.
