The Tyrannosaurus (tye-RAN-uh-SAWR-us), or simply Rex, is one of

the dinosaurs in ARK: Survival Evolved. The Tyrannosaurus is a huge, bulky predator that
dominates virtually all of the island. It has considerably more   Health and   
Stamina compared to   Spinosaurus, but lacks the attack speed and mobility that   
 Spinosaurus has. They are also incredibly slow in water, making them vulnerable to attack
from below, but they make up for these drawbacks with sheer size and strength.

Basic Info[edit | edit source]

Dossier[edit | edit source]
This section is intended to be an exact copy of what the survivor Helena Walker, the author
of the dossiers, has written. There may be some discrepancies between this text and the
in-game creature.

Wild

“ Arguably the deadliest creature on the Island, Tyrannosaurus dominum is

a killing machine. Active mostly when hunting for food or defending its
„
nest, a good plan is to avoid every Tyrannosaurus.
It is pure power -- from its stomp to its tail. It is not able to intimidate
every foe with its roar, but upon hearing it, it might scare the poop out of
you - quite literally.
Despite being a different sub-species of Tyrannosaurus, everyone I've met
still refers to them as a "Rex" or a "T-Rex". I've long since stopped trying
 to convince anyone, especially the few who I've encountered wearing
Tyrannosaurus teeth as necklaces.
Domesticated
Taming a Tyrannosaurus is without a doubt the goal for any warlord or
warring tribe. Tyrannosaurus is a fierce battle companion. There is a
reason Tyrannosaurus is considered the king of dinosaurs (or in this
genus, the "lord"). Any tribe that manages to tame one has almost nothing
to fear.

~ Helena

Behavior[edit | edit source]
Highly aggressive, Tyrannosaurus will attack most living creatures in sight aside from other
apex predators. They're extremely bulky, having nearly double the health of Spinos of the
same level. They also possess surprisingly good stamina for their size, of which is also
greater than that of any same-leveled Spinosaurus. What Tyrannosaurus' lack in attacking
speed (when compared to a Spinosaurus) they make up for in sheer
health. Tyrannosaurus generally ignore mounted tamed animals and choose to attack wild
animals instead. However if they see a helpless tame or dismounted human in the open,
they will begin to attack.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
T. dominum is an exceptionally large (and often colorful) theropod dinosaur found on the
island. They are covered in small, pebbly scales that are often interrupted with large
osteoderms. Their underbelly, however, is smooth and tan with small rectangular scales.
Along their neck and back there is a large ridge of large bony scutes that may be used to
protect their vertebrae from the jaws of other carnivores (including other T. dominum.) They
have proportionately long legs that end in three thick, padded toes, each decorated with
one large claw. T. dominum regularly exceed seventy feet in length, however, they possess
disproportionately small arms. Strangely, these arms are heavily muscled and extremely
thick. When tamed and ridden no carnivores except for other Rexes, Spinosaurus,
Giganotosaurus, Yutyrannus and Therizinosaurus will attack you if you don't attack them
first, which makes it easy to travel with the rex without being hunted by other animals.

Tek Rex (Variant)[edit | edit source]

The Tek Rex is a creature that was permanently added to the game with the ARK:
ARKaeology event and is part of the Extinction Chronicles I event. It is a unique alternate of
the original Rex, and is purely made of Tek. Unlike the original, they spawn at a 5% rate at
a 20% higher level than usual.

Breeding[edit | edit source]
One of the more difficult dinos to breed in captivity, due to difficulty in maintaining proper
egg temperatures and the long period of hand feeding the infant. Recommend at least 2 Air
Conditioners and multiple standing torches to aid in maintaining the egg at the proper
temperature. Between monitoring the egg during incubation and hand feeding the infant, it
is an 8-9 hour commitment to get the baby to the stage where it will eat out of a feeding
trough.

 Temperature: 85-95 degrees F / 29 - 35 degrees C (not accounting for insulation)

 Incubation: Approximately 5 hours
 Maturation: Approximately 3 days 20 hours and 30 minutes.

Taming[edit | edit source]
For general infos about domesticating a wild creature see Taming.
KO Strategy[edit | edit source]
Since Rexes are relatively slow and incredibly strong, trying to tame a Rex solo on flat
ground can be risky. Bring a few friends and shoot Tranq Arrows at it. it will try flee once
torpor gets high but you can easily reach it sprinting.
Common strategies include:

 Build a tower 10 Stone Pillars high with a ceiling on top. Lure the Rex to it while
riding a flying mount, then land on your tower and shoot tranquilizers at it.
 Find a Rex that spawned near a cliff. Quite a lot of Rexes spawn in the cove on the
southeastern shores, sometimes 4 at a time. Stand on top of the cliff and shoot Tranq
Arrows at it - it will usually stand still while trying to reach you. This method makes it
relatively easy to tame a Rex solo. You can also aggro the Rex from a distance and
steer it to a cliff while riding a fast mount, such as a   Raptor.
 If you can't find a cliff, bring a friend with a   Tapejara,   Pteranodon,   
Argentavis or   Quetzal. One player flies the mount and carries the other player,
which then shoots Tranq Arrows at the Rex. Be careful to not let your mount run out of
stamina, or the Rex will most likely kill all three of you when you go down!
 Bring one or more tames set to passive. The Rex will usually attack your tame while
you can shoot Tranq Arrows at it from a distance.
  Another strategy is to find an area with large amounts of prey animals, and lure the
Rex towards it, then, while it is attacking or eating, shoot tranq arrows or darts at it,
avoiding its agro by running towards another prey animal, and repeating the process
until the Rex goes down. However, neutral prey, such as   Triceratops will continue
attacking, which will lower effectiveness, so be prepared to kill the prey as well.
 Lure a rex into a behemoth gate cage and use your friend's flyer (Don't use pteros,
if you try and shoot it will shoot them) to start shooting it down and you got yourself a
safe spot
 Ride a   Raptor oriented for   Stamina, speed, and enough carry   Weight.
A   Raptor outruns easily a Rex so run forward, turn to the side, shoot at it, then turn
and resume running again. Each pause to shoot will allow the   Raptor to regen   
Stamina while you take the time to line up a good shot. As well using rocks and other
terrain features to kite it around help greatly. It will eventually run which is easy to catch
on a   Raptor.
 Create a simple trap. Four stone foundations 2x2. Surround perimeter with stone
doorways two high. Pick a side, build two ramps from the top doorway to the ground.
Kite the Rex up the ramp into the box. Stand back and tranq. Be ready to destroy a few
doorways once it's tamed. Replace, Rinse, Repeat.
 Create a taming boat that consists of STONE so the rex won't break it and make
the area the rex will be out of stone doorways.(ALSO MAKE SURE TO COVER THE
WOOD PART OF THE RAFT) This allows you to shoot it with tranqs and it won't get
out. Make a ramp that leads into the trap. Once your taming raft is made and ready
park it on the shore close to the rex you want to tame, make sure you're faster than the
rex, and agro it up the ramp. Into the trap and run through the gaps in the doorways
and tranq away! Alternatively, if you wall off the portion of the raft where you stand to
drive, you can drive the still-awake rex to your base and tame it in safety there.
 Build 3 stone gateways and place a LARGE bear trap in the middle. Lead the rex
into the bear trap and place a fourth gateway behind it, effectively trapping it. The
gateways will provide a guaranteed way to knock it out as the Rex won’t be able to
escape or fight back, assuming you’re a safe enough distance shooting at it. After it is
knocked out simply remove the gates and tame normally. The only problem would be if
the Rex decides to move around the gate, which would mean you would have to rotate
and lead the Rex into it.
 Another way to successfully capture one is to lay out large bear traps. About 6
should do the trick. Arrange the traps into a triangle shape and then get the Rex's
attention by shooting it with the tranq arrows. If you get it ensnared with the trap they
wont be able to escape and will keep getting stuck allowing you to knock it out with the
arrows.
 If it is near sea or a deep lake, it will never attack you if it can't reach the bottom of
the water without diving, so you can fire a crossbow and the rex will not attack you, this
can be used to escape if one aggros on you early-game.

Combat[edit | edit source]
This section describes how to fight against the Rex.
General[edit | edit source]
The Rex is an imposing threat that is not only durable, but also hits rather hard. Their ability
to traverse terrain quite well only helps to cement their position at the top of the food chain.
While they are definitely the larger of the dangers in the environment, they are not
necessarily the fastest and definitely not the smartest. Using one's wits and finesse will
help to avoid the wrath of this iconic dinosaur.
Strategy[edit | edit source]
Player base sprint speed is faster than that of a wild Rex. It is possible to kite the Rex and
do damage with ranged weaponry. If you get attacked by a Rex, try to find large rocks to
get it stuck, or if you have a flyer nearby, get on that and get above a cliff, and shoot it from
the cliff.

Another effective strategy—because of their terrible swimming speed—is to use a   

Wooden Raft. Drive your raft far enough away to where you can still shoot the Rex and it
doesn’t aggro anything else, then shoot it. Continue this process until it is dead. NOTE:
when using this strategy, don’t go too far out into the ocean, as you could aggro a   
Leedsichthys.
An additional note: If you are following the above strategy and there are sea creatures
present, they may aggro on the swimming Rex and perhaps steal the kill from you.

Another effective strategy can be shooting it with a   Chain Bola fired preferably from
a   Ballista Turret on a platform saddle, then shoot it with a   Longneck Rifle; use
bullets if you want to kill it, or   Tranquilizer Dart or   Shocking Tranquilizer Dart if you
want to tame it.

A tamed   Therizinosaur with its high damage and attack speed can easily overpower a
Rex. Alternatively , a tamed   Spino at a nearby level to the Rex can decimate it as well.
If these dinosaurs are not available when facing a higher level Rex, a pack of   
Allosaurus, especially mate boosted, can easily take down one at nearly any level.
With higher health and armor, a powerful sword or shotgun can easily take down almost
any level of Rex.
Weaponry[edit | edit source]
Make sure that you have at least a Crossbow or Longneck Rifle. Fabricated weapons such
as the Assault Rifle or the Rocket Launcher work best, but would be a waste of resources
that would be better for raiding, or defense. Strong dinosaurs can also suffice as effective
weaponry to down a Rex.
Dangers[edit | edit source]
Tyrannosaurus has a balanced amount of the primary stats, i.e. damage and health. The
Rex is not to be trifled with, especially in the early game. If a player has low stamina (or is
low level), the player could run out of stamina and the Rex could easily catch up. Getting it
stuck between trees is useless, as it destroys trees as it walks. They can effectively kill a
low-level player in only a few bites and reduce thatch structures to nothing in seconds.
Even players in flak armor aren't very safe from a continuous Rex assault.
Weakness[edit | edit source]
When it comes to raw power, Rexes have few weaknesses as they can easily overpower
lesser creatures and get over terrain surprisingly well. However, Rexes are not very
intelligent (like most other creatures) and tend to aggro to the closest thing in the area
aside from other apex predators, so running into a group of Dodos, Parasaurs, or Trikes
can give you time to escape. If you need to escape from a wild Rex and other herbivores
aren't around, base player sprint speed is higher than that of a wild Rex, so you can outrun
one on foot. However, small obstacles in your path can allow it to catch up, as the Rex
could easily walk over something a player would have to go around. By doing this, you can
also run into a pack of Raptors, Carnos and other creatures that can kill you, so be aware
of them!
In the event that you can overpower a Rex, it has no additional utilities to effectively defend
itself, unlike a   Yutyrannus or   Spino for example. This can make the Rex an easy
and bountiful target.

Utility[edit | edit source]
Roles[edit | edit source]

 Tank: Possessing a huge health pool, the Rex also inflicts greater damage and
moves much faster when compared to bulkier tanks such as the Brontosaurus. (Level
up Health and Melee Damage)
 Hunter: One of the best creatures in the game at harvesting meat and other
resources from carcasses, the Rex has little to fear in the wilds. (Level up Melee
Damage and Health)
 Damage: While still nowhere near that of Giganotosaurus, the Rex's damage
output is incredibly high, and its durability is also useful for long skirmishes. (Level
up Melee Damage and Health)
 Transport: Decent speed, effective traversing over rough terrain, and good carry
weight make Rexes decent for transporting goods. Although they do not get any weight
reductions on resources, very few are dumb enough to challenge the raw power of a
Rex convoy. (Level up Weight, Movement Speed, and Stamina)
 Intimidation Tame: With its high volume of roar and large overpowering
appearance, the Tyrannosaurus is by far one of the best ways to ward off anyone who
dares attack your mount. Furthermore with its roar ability to cause lower-leveled
wild/non-allied dino/survivors to defecate makes it even more intimidating with the only
creatures being more intimidating are the   Yutyrannus,   Spino, and the   
Giganotosaurus.
 Raid Boss Tank/DPS: Rexes are among the best creature to use for battles
against the bosses such as the   Broodmother Lysrix and the   Megapithecus.
Their massive health pool and high damage can allow a horde of them to hold aggro on
a boss for a very long time. Coupled with a   Yutyrannus providing a courage roar
and a few   Daeodon providing healing, it's possible for them to take down a boss
without requiring guns and ammunition...but you should bring those with you, just in
case. (Level mostly Health and some Melee Damage.)
 Guardian:
 Battle Mount:
 War Mount:
 Combatant:
 Defender:

them to poop.
 The stun/interrupt will cause affected flyers to be grounded.
 Victims have a cooldown in order to prevent 'pooplocking'.
 Does not work on anything above the Rex's level.

Notes/Trivia[edit | edit source]
For information pertaining specifically to the real-world Rex, see the relevant Wikipedia
article.

 Its full name, Tyrannosaurus dominum, translates to "Lord of the Tyrant Lizards".

 To call it a T. rex would be scientifically incorrect,
considering Tyrannosaurus rex and Tyrannosaurus dominum are two separate
species of the same genus. However, the official dossier admits that most people call it
by the more popular name.
 Tyrannosaurus dominum is, on average, much larger than any
known Tyrannosaurus rex fossils. To put this in perspective, a regular sized human is
about as high as T. rex' knee, while the player character barely reaches the ankle of T.
dominum.
 T-Dominum and T-Rex are both scientifically incorrect spellings of the two
dinosaurs. Tyrannosaurus is the genus name, and therefore it's
capitalized. dominum and rex are the species' names, and are therefore not
capitalized. Because the name Tyrannosaurus is being abbreviated, the correct
spelling is T. dominum or T. rex.
 Rexes will often get themselves seriously injured or even killed by attacking too
many herbivores at once. Curiously enough, a player-controlled mounted Rex can
easily take on many enemies at once, if it manages to keep all enemies in front of it,
near its mouth. Unridden Rexes are unable to employ this strategy, causing them to get
surrounded and unable to attack.
 As of v260, the Rex requires a Behemoth Gateway; it can no longer fit into a
smaller gate. The Yutyrannus replaced the Rex to be one of the largest creatures that
can fit through any dinosaur gateway.
 Rexes, like other large animals, don't take bonus damage from head shots. Shoot
for the body.
 Riders beware: A sprinting Rex damages anything it steps on. This means knocking
down trees, instantly crushing the occasional dodo, and sometimes provoking herd
attacks that could actually threaten your mount if you're not ready for it.
 In the Survivor Profile, the devs misspelled Tyrannosaurus, they instead wrote
"Tyranosaurus".
 T. dominum's meaning is similiar to that of Indominus rex from the movie Jurassic
World.
 The Rex received a major update for TLC Phase 1 on the 10th February 2018 on
PC (consoles on the 23rd) with an appearance overhaul, a new ability to stun lower-
levelled wild/non-allied dinos and survivors by forcing them to defecate with a roar, and
better climbing of rocks and hills.
 A wild Rex only roars at players and tamed creatures, and its roar has longer
cooldowns than a tamed one. It does not roar at smaller wild creatures but immediately
attacks them on sight.
 Patch 278.0 removed PaintRegion 3 (former Back), but Patch 278.2 added
PaintRegion 4 as new Back, therefore making previously obtained color mutations in
those regions inaccessible.
  Tek Rex are among one of the few creatures that has all color regions.
 Keep in mind that   Tek Rex doesn't shoot and use   Element, it is almost
identical to the   Rex Bionic Costume.
 Before Yutyrannus released, the Rex could spawn in the snow biome on The Island
map (the rex can still spawn in the snow biome.)
 In patch 258 trailer, Rex used Giganotosaurus roar.
 Rex deal 15% additional damage to herbivores, it does have few exceptions,
like   Kentrosaurus.
 Rex, horse and parasaurolophus are the only creatures to have 2 variants of Chibi.
