Use LOTS of Prime meat and narcotic not narco berries.

Farm prime meat. I'm sure you know this already tho.

get stimuants and narcotics have someone doing them both to starve it to about 100 food while thats happening run around cooking prime meat and killing for more when it reaches 100 hunger put it all in there and watch the magic

Let it starve, and farm tons of Prime Meat before it gets to the starving point. Make sure to keep it narc'd up and don't let it hit 0 or it'll wake up. By starve I literally mean starve. The absolute fastest tame for a T-Rex is 0 food, to the point it's taking damage, then LOAD it with Prime Meat. It'll tame so fast, and the % will be insane. Just try to tame it near areas where you can transport/farm Prime very quickly and you'll be set. Even if you can't get prime make sure to load it with meat and it'll give you a huge chunk of taming points right off the bat. :dappershark:

Make his food go down before you start tame and then give him a lot of prime meat, try find a area where there are many bronto's for prime meat.

How do I keep the prime meat good though it wastes so fast..

My friends and I have been throwing down the preservation bin to keep the prime meat much longer.

Have people timed the starving method? I feel like you just front load the time waiting for it to get to starve point.

Can some one direct me to comfrimation of this?

It is not actually faster, people just fall under the illusion that it is though, because they see the taming bar rise faster, not taking into consideration how long they've actually been waiting for the hunger to drop. It's logic, really, the hunger bar falls by a defined amount every 'tick', once the hunger has dropped by 50 or so the creature will eat until full. A starved creature will eat the same amount of meat every time, if the taming efficiency is the exact same, as a non starved creature.

The only time starving becomes more time efficient is if you use stimberries/stimulants to lower the creatures torpor and hunger, countering the narcotics you've used (narcotics also lower hunger as it increases torpor), but that also becomes way more resource expensive.

Prime meat and narcotics. Apparently wild carnivores like Prime meat jerky too.

With prime meat it is, because prime meat spoils fast

guys!

ROASTED prime meat will be better

and you must put all your meat to the dino cuz it will be good x2 longer

progress of taming depends of remaining time of meat that predator (Trex) eats

i'm using always roasted prime meat and roasted meat

not raw meat

Raw Prime Meat is 4x faster.
Cooked Prime Meat is 2x faster

Knock out the rex then go around and get prime meat from steggos, brontos, other rexs, spinos. Take it back to ur rex when u get some so it doesnt spoil. Leave regular raw meat in it while u go look for some more prime.
Carnivores will always eat raw prime over regular meat.

And of course the quickest way to tame a rex is to make Scorp Kibble. Get yourself one male and a few females and collect the eggs over time. cook some kibble and tame a lvl100 rexs in like 45min:steamhappy:
