Ark Basics Tyrannosaurus Rex - AND HOW TO PREP FOR BOSS FIGHTS 

you didn't cover imprinting the Rex's but this is insane how much you need for a boss fight.

On the topic of Rex saddles, consider using a respec and putting all your points into crafting speed. A mastercrafted saddle usually has around 75 armor. with enough crafting bonus you migh be able to extend that to over 100, which makes a huge difference.

Had to laugh... I wonder how many of the viewers even know what a Yugo is/was.

Ask and you shall recieve, your the best man.

Thank you so much for this video, I’ve been breeding Rexes , Yutys and Carnos. I’m clueless basically because I’ve tried different tactics and then I get lost in the shuffle of what’s the best possible stat and I have a Rexes that have over 60 levels that I haven’t put in because I’m just waiting until I know for sure where to put them. I need to make a spreadsheet but dang it’s just so much! But, you’ve given me some good info here and I’m feeling a little better about all the hours I’ve spent farming Rexes, Taming Rexes and raising Rexes... the raising is the worst! Speaking of, I’ve got to check on my juveniles... thanks Phlinger! You’re awesome!

I just tamed a Rex today by accident I never even had the saddle yet, I went to go look for tetrahedrons and got attacked by one and panicked and forgot to change arrows🤣

You are soooo underrated

7:05 that troodon was just reminding you that you haven't tamed one yet =D edit: i thought megatherium were a definite option for brood mother, *if* you've got riders for them.

"When you're ready for rexes, you'll know" Me and my buddy with primitive bows, 130 percent movement speed, and a whole shitload of tranq arrowd: hold my beer

I just tamed my very first rex a few days ago, just after making a crossbow. it's lvl 40, a red male, I was so happy for it, but i lost it somewhere in the swamp

Wish I could see the stats on one of the super tamed rex's for an idea of what to aim for. Probably has some seriously nice ones.

You the best, I looking high rex level for some time on the mountains and get no more then level 100. Now i tame two level 145. So Thanks 👍 Carry on the good work💪

I’m capturing a lv20 one at the moment; when I was trying to tame an argy

You have been such a help for me because I just started my own survival world and I’ve been doing amazing because of you thank you and no I’m not like 2

The first few times I went to "the mosh pit", there were always either some rexes or allos, but for some reason I've never seen anything bigger than carnos there since then. I keep going back there, hoping to find pine or the other, and nothing.

awesome video man. most underrated ark channel right here. subbed

Love the information of these videos thanks.

Just hatched 20.4 health and 717 melee on official! Yeet!

I can’t even find a decent level Rex after searching the mosh pit, black sands, Carno island, or gigs mountain after searching and killing for 3 hours

So much good information, thank you very much

I love this video I love your content unfortunately I wasn’t able to find a t Rex in the place you suggested but i was able find one on Dead Island

This actually really helped thank u

I like to use theriz for boss fights I have 3 really good saddles for them and I have yet to find a Rex saddle Also these cryopods are so damn useful !!!

Thanx for the help. The primitive crossbow I went through like 70+ tranq darts and ran out of narcotics and everything. Now I'm a little more proficient in getting narcotics but with a Mastercraft Crossbow it was less than 20 darts. I have 2 agents that help with the pick and drop in a pen haha. (Edit) accidentally hit send) I used a sabertooth as bait for the rex to get in the pen. But yeah 3 high is scary I went to grab more walls to put up 🤣🤣 great vidz.

Thank you! This really help full

I coudnt even see the taming pen. Too dark.

Thank you for these videos my guy this game is so hard to understand sometimes

Phlinger can you please do a quick video on the settings for your single player and what you did to get 120+ level dinos? I set up my base right on that elevated peninsula right where you tamed that female 135. Also, do you do dino wipes or just go kill everything in an area for respawns? Have you noticed different dino spawns when you clear an area? I've learned sooooo much by watching your multiple solo series and really appreciate all the information. Thank you!!!

Wish I saw this when I started months ago. I play slow and it took me FOREVER to figure some of this out.

If you have a good bow with the arrows that are better than normal tranq arrows you can tame it fast

Thank you phlinger, just in time. TEK REX ARMY RISE UP

To tame that is you need sarco is a fast swimer tranq arrows and crossbow or ascendant bow :)

Yeah the mosh pit, is crazy hella raptor's scorpions cornos, rex one of my favourite spot lol enough space to actually make traps, lol

Rex is my favorite dinosaur

Rexies yay \o/ roar roar roar Go, Phlinger, go!!!

Hey excellent video again man. There was just one thing that you mentioned you would go over and forgot to, that I would really appreciate knowing. You said there would be some paths that you show where you take your rex's when you're level grinding them?

Can you do a vid about what things you need for the fight, like rex stats, brews, food for rex's ect

Thanks for info

Phlinger: I'm ganna tell you everything you need to know about rexes and I'll try to make the video short Also phlinger: spends half the the video talking about breeding

in my games, i've seen a giga at "giga mountain" twice.. and i've played alot. they're always on the other mountains on the top left. the one you call "giga mountain" i call "argy mountain" lol.

I do solo with crossbow, FOOLS set some bear traps around and have my Pteradon sit in the corner as I run around like a lunatic while trying to shoot the Rex and not get eaten, I use this method because it saves recorces, I don't have to touch the water in Ark and best of all it's fun as all crap

I once had a base over by the Mosh pit. I tried to stop the spawning but it was impossible. I also for many ways to tame T-Rex's.

New title "arc basics collection" 👌

sorry for necro but that intro was *chef's kiss*

I never knew breeding was so complex

The most pit is where I get my dire wolves and there is always a t rex breaking my campfires and killing the wolves so I have my level 58 and 130 allosaurusus there on neutral.

I use bows slings and cloobs for the small one. Trenks and shock dartes to knock buger dinosaurs out. And wotch out for other creater that will attack and kill you.

Your right I tamed one

I actually live on Giga Mountain and I have never seen one nearby. I'll definitely avoid going AFK from now on though.

@phlinger, why do you still use breeding pen on rexes? Why not use targetting range lowest so they just dont move at all?

Over 300 hrs in SP and I haven’t seen 1 giga ever

Hey phlinger. so i have just tamed a rex recently and i put raw meat on it, i died from pulmorscorpious but when i came back the rex tamed, i was gone for less than a minute, i was very confused because it was lvl 25, not even a level five and it tamed up in less than a minute on raw meat, i think i had a glitch

I Tamed a new Mega Rex! It was a 145 came out as a 217 and its meelee is 482.5% !!! Thats just Crazy !

I don't really want to beat the game or smth i just like the game and it's just super fun :)

For any newer players: The following is purely my own opinion, but i think it is worth sharing a tested base location that works well. That ridge he was running up at 7:51 is an EXCELLENT hill-top location for an outpost or even a main base once you have reached the stone structures stage. There is a natural dino pen at the rear (the "T" shaped trench), which could also be used to make any taming pens. Just be sure to wall of the ends with dino/behemoth gates. There is a forest at the other side of the trench for near unlimited wood and thatch. There are river rocks and large boulders everywhere in the trench and in front of the river (for loads of metal, stone, and flint), and redwood trees right across the river (which has sabertooth salmon, coalicanths and piranha) for plenty of sap, and bee hives for honey. Just place dino gates near the bottom of the hill and start/end either side of those gates at points where the trench is to steep for wild dinos to climb. Then just build your structure within that space and you should have plenty of extra outdoor space between the base and the gates for your dinos to park without having to worry about wild dinos attacking. Personally, I find it to be the best overall location for a base on The Island. The only thing it is bad for is deep sea taming and resource collection for pearls, since you are at the center of the map not near the ocean or any clam spawns. But you can easily build at a 2nd location for that (I recommend) to the West close to the Red Obelisk or "The Moshpit" referenced in this video.

Phlinger : It takes time to get a good rex saddle Me : Gets rex saddle in my very first red drop XD

So... to recap, the best 5 boss fight dinos for the island... Allos, Rexes, therizinos, yutys, and idk what else For broodmother, 5 is megatherium For megapithecus, it’s the weakest boss I think, so imprinted Carnos, Thylas, spinos, and bears, among a few others, could be very useful. For the dragon, idk what is good for those, Allos spinos thylas and anything with lower health will get destroyed... so what’s good against the dragon?

If this series is still running, c could be concepts

Try looking in the cold area they spawn there a lot

Hey can you make like tutorials how to beat bosses, Cuz I wanna see you risk your dinos. I don't think I've seen you beat the booses yet

The tapejara like to land in the black sands too

I am your subscriber and I like the way you are explaining everything, I recently started playing Ark, I have a question, when I go offline and leave my base in official server, what aggression settings should I keep on my two Rex so if any random dino spawns, tries to attack them so they will fight and save the base.

Ngl, I looked this up AFTER I tamed a t-rex. Why? Bc I'm new to the game, and at 32 I tamed a t-rex by a mixture of pure luck and panic.

3:42 i allways go there and have never seen an giga, and my base is on the beach of this spot i go there to get metal even having a ankylo already ;_;

Would breeding big stat spinos work?

I only need one or two rexs for a boss but I put the damage of tamed Dino’s up

I tamed a 65 yesterday it’s 3x so it was 139 and it died coming back to my base by a 15 insect killer megatherium

Would anyone have started dying of laughter if the thylocoleo died

Can’t see a thing when you are showing the taming pen, too dark

I’m so sad this guy just pulled up and killed all my dinos I somehow managed to escape

Use captain fat dog Rex trap it is way cheaper only needs 14 pillars and works really well.

Phlinger, sorry this question is a little late, but I tamed several 150 rexes, and the best health in the breeding pool is 7700. Is this good, or should I look for better?

Glad i could see the Trex trap smh

I really wish they can do hybrids like allosaur mix t rex

You point out the mountain that you refer to as giga mountain, did they take gigas off the island? I've only been playing a couple of months and have not seen one.

I like to use Rex and allosaurs while mounting a yut

I’ve found some really nice TEK REXES and I’m breeding an ARMY OF TEK REXES. They’re BLUE and SILVER with GREEN LIGHTS!!!

i got a mastercraft rex saddle blueprint XD but i tamed a spino instead of rex :p saw some rexes,but they died instantly :d so i came here to see some spawns

Rawr

Ark beginner chronicles ... Yup that's an epic title

Oh yeah I've had a couple of problems in that place just outside of the ice place yeah,whil I was taking wolves two rexes got on my hair and almost killed my argee this is why you just don't spend the whole day in a taming pen and your argee is just outside

C FOR CRAFTING

🎶 Sweet home alabama 🎶

I flew on top of a big rock and shot one with tranq darts and ended up knocking it out, but it was in the water so it drowned

11:23 i suppose he means the car yugo, idk how he knows about it lol

I have tamed 3 Rexs at level 21, the moment I got tranq arrows. But I don't have a saddle. I play on mobile, so how do I get a saddle earlier? Also, in mobile, Spinos are stronger than Rexs. But thats only if they have the buff.

Ive played this game for so long and I still have no idea how he took only 10 scorpion kibble out of the fridge.

Dude wtf! I set my base at the foot of giga mountain. Didn't know gigas spawn there until I watched this vid.

Level 2 I found only took 4 trank arrows with a primitive crossbow

What the coordinates of your base? I see it on the map but can’t quite find the exact location

Ingene I’m very jealous.

How do you know if the rex you KO has good hp/dmg? How do u if its good decent or bad

I have a question, is there a difference between op mutation stacked Rex and op imprinted Rex

Yo i want to do it all with Therizinos wich i currently breed. Will i be fine with 20/20 Melee and 10/20 HP or should i max them out?

I built a trap and tamed one with a crossbow

What about the actual tame settings?... aggressive, attack my target...?

I do know if is the map or ark but i uave not seen a quetzal giga tapajar in like 300 days days in ark days. And i have been playing it for like 392 days

I found a level 144 tek rex one time but I thought it said level 14 so I killed it and didn't notice until its death message popped up🙄

O.o ur "Tek Quetzal" thing gave me a idea lol there should be a Tek saddle for the quetzel that makes it fly faster lol instead of having a gun or anything it's got like boosters on the wings and you just fly like 50% faster or something loo
