How to build a Rex taming trap in ARK: Survival Ascended (SEE DESCRIPTION) 

UPDATE: It seems that the pathfinding has been changed since I made this video. The trap still works but it's much harder to get it in. Best advice I can give is don't go too far ahead of the trap, keep the rex close to you.

The man, the myth. captain fatdog you have single handedly changed how people tame. Your traps are legendary.

Wildcard: "Ha! We've fixed the pathing. Now their traps are worthless!" Cpt Fatdog: "How many times do I have to teach you this lesson, old man!?"

This is insane. I knew beams would be great for traps but this is just ridiculous. Great discovery by you as always!

I watched the first stream you did, trying to figure out how to build a Rex trap, and I've gained a new level of appreciation for the work you do. There were soooo many solutions, but you rejected them all because they weren't simple enough, or had moving parts, or used too many different types of structures. Your commitment to simplicity and elegance is inspiring! ❤

Thanks for making our lives easier once again Cap your the GOAT!! I think I can speak for everyone and say we all appreciate you!

simply incredible, he always manages to surprise me with his ingenuity

Love how u strive for efficiency and convenience with your designs. Maybe it's weird to call it this but it's classy. No weird gimmicks, just pure efficiency.

Wow. So simple, yet so effective.

My only words were, "That's ridiculous. It's so simple!" Beautiful job as always, Cap'n!

I know this 1:44 here look short but its a long hours work and many ideas been deployed , tested. Really really appreciate your hard work. Keep it up .

I remember subscribing to this dude because of his innovative simplistic traps in ark. And I dont play ark too. My pc cant run the old ark let alone this new asa. Good to see him still rocking new ideas to help ark community. New ark players go subscribe him, like his videos and share , help him out. 🙂

The mastermind of ARK is back at it again with the genius traps! 👌

The fact that so little pieces works is astounding. Even more impressive is that you figured out this design.

What the hell lol.... you know... ive used sooooo many trap styles, then ultimately on foot, but... my god... so simple... you are amazing

Cannot wait to see what else you come up with! Love your traps. Still need to see if the yuty trap still works or not.

After watching the live Rex trap video, I didn't think it could be done! But you did it.... clean and simple! Great work...

I can't believe that works! I'm super impressed once again by the Fatdog genius, but in a sense I'm also disappointed that ASA hasn't given dinos a bit more realism in being able to step over a quarter wall. Doesn't mean I won't be using it though. Cheers big ears 😆🍻

I seriously only come to this channel for traps , bros definitely goated

This man tamed Ark itself. Rumor has it,most creatures just go straight to sleep when he logs on.

Oh man, you’re the guy that invented the argy trap! I was trying to tame an argent for the longest time and got frustrated. (Not a lot of Dino’s and didn’t have any fliers.) I saw your vid and was like “no way that’ll work.” Holy shit, it’s amazing! I got my argent and didn’t have to make like an elaborate build to trap it. I love minimalist traps in ark, very nice. Thank you!

If you add 2 more quarter walls to the other two pillers, so all 4 face inwards and remove the 2 upper pillers.. you have the perfect Tickle Chicken trap.. even works for tamed ones.

amazing. saw your livestream and how you were struggling with the path finding system, now i wake up and you’ve managed to trap it using 6 pillars and some quarter walls. absolutely impressive

Can’t even play the game yet and I’m already sending my buddy into fits of rage with your traps. Excellent work as always 😂

I have doubts in the non-flat area, but on the beach or green plain I have to admit, this is more than great!

Trap still works! Doesn't take much effort to get the Rex's in. I use a tanky argie walking it in. Takes a few attempts, but worth it. Thank you for your content

Sick and cheap trap Well done sir.

Great stuff, looking forward to more cheap, easy but effective traps!

Who would've guess CaptinFatDog would be the first few to figure out a Rex trap hahahaha. Gotta appreciate this man's dedication

You are the GOAT of traps , never seize to amaze me lol GG bro

thanks these are so helpful! its insane how you come up with them.

This is next level. The amount of resources needed to build this is ridiculous compared to the 2x2 with a ramp. 👍👍👍

Aww man!!!! This is awesome... But it would have been super if I knew this magic yesterday when I spent the day farming up dino gates just to tame the 135 I found. Well, putting it aside for the future adventures!

Simplicity is the highest form of perfection

Got to see the early live stream of Rex trap testing. Love that you had a breakthrough!

Captain Fatdog, The Ultimate Ark Survival Evolved and Ascended Trapper 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

captain fatdog strikes again with an incredibly simple Rex trap. I guess your traps will now be an essential for future ASA living with the new better dino pathfinding. 😁👍

Your thumbnails get me every time with the google eyes 😂🙌💗

You are absolutely incredible. Thank you.

oh my god thank you, I've been taming rexes with metal bill boards with beartraps...this makes it so much easier

my jaw dropped faster and harder than the rex did, very good job, thanks again for all these videos!

geez thats brilliant, even simpler than your ase pillar trap,(that i tried to make in asa and failed) cant wait to go rex hunting again, thanks for all the work researchin these traps

Alright now I can start my playthrough lol. Well done Cap!

You do make me laugh Cpt, you design such easy to make traps that work brilliantly.

I love how the new building system works and can’t to try it myself when I get ASA

pure art, better than ever 🥰 next, spino please

You are loving the new pillar placements

Captain Fatdog? More like Traptain Fatdog, cause he is the master of traps. I challenge WC to make a dino he can't trap

You are the best man. I never use any other traps than that of the mighty fatdog :)

got a level 130 Rex in first try, thanks!! I didnt use a bird, I walked myself as close to the rex as possible and walked it in

The captain strikes back! great work man, would love to see your trapping magic on a giga.

Going try this out, been needing some rexs

Your trap is absolutely beautiful😭

dude so hyped to see new content. i remember learning how to stack walls thanks to you!

The one above us!! You broke the matrix 😂😂😂

I was waiting for you to tell me it could be done! Excellent, as always.

Cap doing the absolute best science

Cap is unstoppable with the traps.

Capt. you are a legend and a mastermind. Love your videos.

Yes!!! Can’t wait for the rest of the tames.

Omg you can rotate them sideways. Building is so op now. Really hope they get meshing under control

Captain is the man of everything Ark Traps Ggs brother

hot damn Captain Fatdog you've done it again!

Another masterpiece from the Master Trapper!

you figured it out man awesome job!!!

Quick to the point I like it, ur my go to for tame info now

Not sure if they changed the AI again yesterday (reverting some of the post release change they made a few days ago), but I could not lead the rex in with an argy hovering on the ground and going just high enough to clear the front two pillars. The rex would consistently walk around. I was about to give up and just start shooting it on foot (after double checking the video to make sure I built it right) when the thing lost interest in me and wandered over one side of the trap and trapped itself. Couldn't get the rex to budge from any direction once it was in the trap so the trap works flawlessly if you can get them in. I guess my advice to anyone trying and struggling is to just stick with it and hang around the trap and eventually it will wander in. I built it on the beach and it was on a slope with the front of the trap higher than the back and that didn't seem to alter its effectiveness. Happy hunting!

Im glad they fixed the ai because now they follow you to the trap instead of trying to walk around

This also work for theri’s you just need to add another column of pillars in the gaps at the side and back

The trap still works! It's more difficult to get the Rex in there but it still works! Currently taming a 75 Red and Black Male for base defense PVE

YAY The OGs are back 😊

Crazy that this is better than the ASE trap. I thought that one was the pinacle of trap building, guess i was wrong.

Beauty of simplicity 😊

Love ASA's "improved dino AI"

You cracked it you goddamn genius! Thank you for your service, as always.

Love the new rex trap ❤thank u for your time in working these out would love to see a hyena trap ❤

Wait, rex cannot walk over 1 wall high walls??? o.0 What is the chance of this being a glitch? Absolutely Brilliant mate!

Hell yeah, Cap!! Knew you could do it bro!

Looking back at the ASE Rex trap, this looks INSANE! its so much simpler looking and easier to use 😂

The trapman is here!

Can’t wait for game to be released on Console simple, but effective trap. Water creatures next

The best traps in Ark tbh

not even seen a rex in ASA yet. but good to see you breaking ark and saving the landscape from gate and drop traps again cap

you are so brilliant man xD cant believe how this worked

I’ll just build a paddock to tranq my Rex on Carnivore Island, that’s where I farm my 150’s for flyers and land creatures. Using 3 gate ways is dumb lol I’ll even build a paddock even for Gigas. Hate ways saves resources but not fun that way lol

The goat for traps🔥

Its the Walls and Doors etc that are pathfinding issues, Or just use a honey throw and bear. But you can do a similar thing with pillars and the pathfinding doesnt cause it to run arouund.

Well, that didn't take long. After your 2-hour stream the other day I know we'd have working traps before Thanksgiving for a bunch of stuff.

THAT'S WHY CAPTAIN FATDOG IS THE G.O.A.T!!! THE G.O.A.T!!!

Love you Captain Fatdog

Going cheaper and cheaper!! 👍 For Gigas, may be just taller?? Two high pillars 🤔...

Thanks Captain Fatdog❤

The god damn goat back at it again

amazing work as always!!! please spino next!

No way this works! Haha crazy.... Fatdog is the king

Capt. Fatdog you genius!

Got myself 8 rexes with this method, its kinda ridiculous how op this trap is

salut merci a toi pour tes tutos, la france te dit bonjour ^^

hes back bois

insanely cheap , well done
