Rex Camping My Base, Help Please!
I'm level 27 playing on single player and I just started building up walls around my base. I have the entire front blocked off, apart from a couple boulders I gotta break and place walls in those spots, but now some random Rex has popped up and he is camping in front of the walls. I have my dinos all hiding behind my house (which is inside the wall) so he cannot notice them and try to break through, but it's been about 3 days (ark days) and he still hasn't left. I cant go outside and get recourses to continue building walls with him there. Help me! What should I do??!! I need to get those recourses



P.S. The front is a large 3 level high wooden wall and I'm currently trying to upgrade to stone. I know they can't go over 3 tall walls but I know they can also break through them, and they can climb over the boulders nearby. So far the Rex hasn't done that yet, thankefully



Edit: Solved :D Rex is gone

strip naked and then run out and past him so he doesn't notice you. Then come at him from the opposite side until he notices you and then run like the dickens away from your base and draw him away.

Tranq it. Tamed it.

My wife's first play through she tranqed and tamed her first rex that was camping her base at Lvl 20. It destroyed half her base and trapped her in a section of it but lucky for her it was the part that had a container of tranq arrows. She died a few times getting it. Rex's on our sever have 10x the damage of vanilla.

Or that if you are capable of making tranq arrows.

Get a flyer if you don't already have one as this is the standard method i.e. to nip at it and lead it away.

Once you have Plantx, make a plot maybe 100 yards from base set to target All or Wilds.

If you cannot exit your front door then destroy a wall to get out and have one made to replace it.

Honestly in SP you should really only be living in the South or West or at an inaccessible place. I like to use a spot only accessible by flyer. Works great! Just have a back-up flyer.

make about 400 stone arrows and 3-4 bows, and bust a wall a little ways away from him, and shoot him through the gap till he dies or flees.

I'll start farming up materials to make a bunch of arrows for the next time that happens

It could be worse, it could have been a Giganotosaurus :) Good luck leading the rex away.

Or use a sling shot to knock him out.

Wife did it with a Lvl 30, only took her 400 or so rocks

tame anky = > anky farms stone/flint at a decent rate. you can use him for trees, but better dinos can be found for that.

anky sucks as a defender, but you can stockpile stone for the necessities, like sparkpowder, and cementing paste, or stone walls too =)

good defense dinos are those small ... furry birds that eat meat(morphodolololons?). or vultures. angry torpedoes ftw+easy to tame

hopefully the next time it happens you have enough torpedoes that t.dominus becomes casual.

Dimorphodon is what you are referring to. However, I high level anky can defend itself perfectly fine. For that matter, any low level dino is susceptible. A low level rex would not fair well against even a mid level theriz or anything of the sort. I do like dimorphs, but you need a decent amount of higher level one to really defend you. Better off finding a decent saber/wolf/or even a mid level (ie 30-50ish) rex. None of those are hard to knock out or tame, would just take a few hours on official rates, but would offer far better protection at a faster tame than a pack of dimorphs or using a bow to kill things. However, the rex saddle is lvl 74 engram. You might have to wait a bit to be able to ride it.

hit TAB then enter in:

kill

Dimo are the secret weapon of the game because they tame in 20-45 mins and six L100+ can take on even a L75 Alpha raptor.
