prodigy1202 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hello again fellow awesome people, I'm taking my first excursion to the West Lava Cave on the Center map, before I get to the Alpha rex part I have a couple of questions: first: Is the SCUBA gear absolutely necessary or am I able to go without it? Same question regarding grappling hooks. Also, upon arriving at the lava island I got dangerously close to a level 20 Alpha Rex. Now I have a group of fighters with me (not big ones, but fighters nonetheless). My security mount for this squad is a Rex named King. He's level 265. Would that be enough to take on a level 20 alpha rex? King has 20,000 health and 1000% melee damage. The rest of the guys in my party include three level 200+ Direbears, a level 200 Purlovia, a level 240+ Pulmino and a level 160 Baryonyx, but I don't wanna chance losing any of these guys. (Also, yes I know that none of them besides my Purlovia can fit into the cave, I just figured that out a few minutes ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disregard, I'm an idiot. I haven't don't this cave yet so I'm not sure. As for alpha rexs, your rex should be able to take it out. They are strong, but by no means are they anywhere near a giga. I take them out with our boss rexs when I see them as long as they aren't too high of a lvl. I would assume you'd be fine, but best bet is if you are unsure, just stay away.

d1nk Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Youll easily kill a level 100 alpha rex with your rex alone. If you have a quality saddle even better odds. You will demolish the 20. You could even take your direbears with mateboost to kill it easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molisa Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 It looks much scarier than it actually is, don't worry I kill Alpha Rexes with my Argy in my server just fine... ...i mean, she does have an op saddle tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodigy1202 Posted May 9, 2018 Author Share Posted May 9, 2018 Alright, my Rex has a primitive saddle, but I'll try and see whether King truly is the King. We'll show this Alpha Rex who the real alpha is (Also if this goes awry I can just restart my PS4 to get a redo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazaryu Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 to be fair, argies can easily fight any rex regardless of saddle considering how easy it is to stay out of bite range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArianaGaming Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Hello, Sounds like most answers are: its easy. Well it is not. My biggest fear is that I get into a bad place having the alpha rex behind me. So the alpha rex is super fast. First attack must be from the front, after that it is just as easy as all say. So wait it out until it stops moving and attack from front side of alpha Rex. Do it with a weak Rex just to learn. I am learning the dragon boss fight over again. Running 8 times now in single player and a lot more to go. If I want to win the fight. Regards, Ariana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS5DEJAN Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I killed a lvl 90 with a 20k hp and 500 melee (although close). Your 1000% melee will easily kill the lvl 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King will slaughter most alpha rexes and I can say that a wyvern with 25k hp and 350% damage can kill a lvl 85 alpha rex staying completely on the ground and only biting. I cannot speak for your bears, but one of mine has 12k hp and 500 melee, 70 armor saddle, which so far has killed alpha rexes up to lvl 100. If I were you I would kill it with King, I can guarantee you won't loose him, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direbears are like furry lower HP Rexs, they hit like trucks! Freakin' love bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themightyone Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Alpha rex isnt really a problem with higher level Rex's, or a low level giga 15k hp is really all you need.... don't do this from the saddle of a small dino though... obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinMeisterGeneral Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Ye 1k melee is enough to destroy an alpha rex. Gl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be enough to take on a level 20 alpha rex? The general rule of thumb for alphas is that they are 4x as strong as a regular animal. You almost never need to do any calculating based on "my animal has xxx health and xxx melee", you simply look at the level, multiply x4, and then decide whether you would fight a standard animal at that x4 level. If you've leveled your rex the way most people do (melee & HP) you could easily go face-to-face with a standard Lvl 300 rex or a Lvl 75 alpha rex. (I know, there's no such thing as a standard Lvl 300 rex, I'm just using that as a basis for comparison, since tamed animals can almost always beat wild animals that are higher level than they are).
