Where to find a Rex?

[Kasax]

Hey I just wanted to know where you could find a Rex and tame him? What is the best way to tame a Rex?

Using tranq darts and u find in north near snow and near mountains btw Its easier if u are 2 and shoot from Sky ore grapple urself to a high tree and shoot from here

Ive like 50 laying inside my base after I murdered over 100 of them to get 2 desireable mutations x)

Now veing serious there are plenty of locations, my favorite ones are NW where the ice begins both in the beach and close to the volcano

For an easy tame make a trap you can run into one side and out the other, but the rex can only get in but not out. E.g., a dinosaur gate on one side and a doorframe at the other, or something made with doorframes and a ramp up one side so you can run up the ramp, let it follow you, drop down, and then run out doorframes. It should be at least two walls high. If rexes are near water on your map you can build it on a raft and then bring the trap to them (and reuse for many other things, assuming you can avoid Leedsichthys); if not, build it on site near where they spawn.

If that's more work than you want but there are two people available, doing it from the air within the claws of a flyer or on the back seat of a tapejara is a good option. You can also use a tapejara clinging to the side of cliffs above a rex, though it can be hard when they start running away.

i use Frog for almost all taming since that patch that allow us to shoot while mounted on dino.
The only stats needed for taming frog is some weight and lots of speed; my current frog sits on 415% movement speed.
The idea here is not to tank but hit & run. Good armor saddle is good to have ofc :)
Using it for land and sea dinos since it is also a very good swimmer and need no oxygen.

You can tame them pretty much as soon as you get Tranq arrows (you could probably do the same with Slingshots if stone wasn't so heavy). Determined by your characters build and/or the mounts you have, you could even tame one without much prep. Most creatures (like the Rex) have terrible turning, which is EASY to abuse when you move at its speed or faster. Usually I tame these creatures by simply running circles around them whilst knocking them out.

You can find them near mountains, following the rivers, in the snow biome, and on Carno/Dead Island. Just a simple question on if it is a safe area that you can take advantage of.

Since you can not ask this for all the over 100 dinos....take this,this will be your only Bible now

Make a raft, set up a trap, go to the Carno/dead island. trap one, knock it out. bring home and tame.

yea the mountains tend to be the most common area's for the T.Rex to spawn even in the tundra but the tundra is more risky cause of wolf packs, saber's, packs of hell pigs, yuty's and Argents

What map? That would help people tell you where to find them.

Best way to tame is to build a taming pen close to where they are and the lure one into it and close it off. Then just shoot with tranq arrows until he goes to sleep. Then either raw mutton or pulmino kibble for the fastest tame.
