Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a rex? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a rex.
Glitch found: if you freeze your dinos with a cryopod and let them out, they will poop but there’s a chance that they will drop an egg, if you keep freezing them and letting them out, they will potentially drop an egg, did it like 10 times and got 2 eggs up so everybody can see
if my eggs are incubating while i’m offline, while the babies survive for 18 hours without me imprinting them?
In a grassland, you can hit and run. You actually go faster than it when sprinting!
Make sure to kill any creatures it aggroed, and do not leave it by itself, I was taming one and an argie in the redwoods so I left it to check on the argie, and when I came back it was getting killed by a Dino it aggroed. To see the full depressing story look under Barryonx, newest, utility, and Argentavis, newest funny.
These creatures are easy to tame I am only level 35 and I already have a T rex named T-bone.
If you want to tame one this is the way to do it.
1 You have to try to find one they live near around the snow area.
2 Once you found one try to go on a Cliff or anywhere that’s high.
3 use tranquilizer arrows or dart guns to shoot him down or her.
4 Get raw prime meat To feed and also try to protect it just in case.
5 You might need some bio depending what you are giving it.
Bang you have a T. rex.
It’s really not that hard a tame. Trap it with stone gateways and a bear trap. Knock it out with maybe over 100 tranq arrows. (Which aren’t as hard to get as you may think). And BOOM! You have your self a rex. Oh yeah and feed it some kibble, for best taming better stats AND less time for taming. I would say it’s a medium tame.
What arrows or darts should I use and why
When your taming your first Rex I would suggest to trap it with STONE gates And also feed it prime meat
Low key just grapple to a ledge that it can’t reach, shoot it with tranqs (I use darts but I suppose arrows or shocking darts work to) and then when it gets to a high torpor and starts running chase it down either by yourself or on a dino while shooting it still.
Nop I was wrong and tel Rex’s have a little bit better stats up
EASIEST AND CHEAPEST WAY TO TAME A REX
1) Tame a good stamina or high health pteranodon, argy or tapejara
2) Make 4 metal billboards with cementing paste and metal ingots
3) Find a rex, have the billboards in your hot bar and circle around the rex while placing them around(You can also do it easier when they roar)
4) Stay back and tranq it out
5) If you are in an unsafe area it is also nice to surround the rex with wooden spike walls when it’s knocked out
Good Luck taming!
Build a Stone Pilla trap what didn't work then when the Rex is chasing you hide and wait the the Rex attack the trap. When he doing it SHOOT HIM WITH ALL YOUR TRANQ ARROWS. (sorry for bad English)
To tame this bad boy is very easy, i will tell you the most easiest way to tame more then one if you want!
1 build a raft
2 build a cage on the raft that is made of stone. Build 6 rock foundations in the front of the raft then build 3 stone roofs for the floor, because this part will hang over the raft then build the three front walls on the on the raft with stone door frames, do not build on the side you drive the raft leave that only 2 door frames high! Then build the ramp to from the low back part then you have completed your portable Trex trap!
3 look for a Rex on the beach or close by
4 then lead the rex in your trap
5 tang it and tame it!
The reason you build the portable trap is you can take it back to base and tame it there so that way you have all your resources in one place to tame it good luck!
Many people overcomplicate how to tame these— it’s a lot simpler than you think!
A good Daeodon mount with points in Health (and a lot of meat) can tank most Rexes while you keep tranq-ing away on piggyback. They’re decently fast too, so they can keep up when the Rex starts running. Just watch out for Purlovia or Microraptor, or else you’ll become the Rex bait!
A tribe mate and myself brought hundreds of arrows due to the X-dino increase to damage resistance. Turns out after doing some research that they dont need 3x the amount of arrows they just take longer for the torpidity to raise high enough. I would recommend bringing a spy glass when taming X-Dinos.
Throw your EX at it and run believe me works everytime
Thumb wrestle the rex for max taming efficiency. But if you dont win the rex will taunt you in front of your other dino. And its pretty embarassing.
I tamed this monster using a crossbow with tranq arrows, and 3 large bear traps...i almost died taming it. but it's kinda worth it because i tamed this powerful creature...
How to tame:
1 Get a longneck/crossbow I recommend ascendant longneck/crossbow
2 Make a trap for easier taming
3 get shooting balm if on mobile
4 trap the rex
5 knock it out
6 feed the thick boi
And boom you got a rex
