Tips & Strategies
For those that don’t want to make a trap to tame this dino (due to their posse of Carnos), there are other ways!
I rode a Quetzal to taunt and draw the Yuty away from the Carnos since most stopped to attack mammoths and megatheriums.
After you get the Yuty alone, dismount your Quetzal while standing on top to fire tranqs (or other KO ammo) over the side.
Sometimes the Yuty will stand underneath the Quetzal completely, so don’t push it and accidentally fall off the side, just move the Quetzal to a better vantage point and keep going.
Once knocked out completely, I noticed the Carnos never came back to where I drew him off to making it much safer!
I don’t tend to use traps for my tames so this strat seemed easiest for me.

How to build a trap
What you need:
9 stone foundations,
18 stone doorframes
4 wooden ramps
6 stone walls
How to build it
First, make sure you build the trap in a safe-ish area to make sure that nothing super powerful comes and either kills you or the Yuty while it’s trapped
Place the foundations in a 3x3 shape
Place 6 doorframes on each side except for one
Place the 6 walls on the remaining side
Place the ramps on the regular wall side so that the Yuty can walk into the trap
How to tame it
Find the Yuty, kill all of its carnos, and then lead the Yuty into the trap
I recommend that you use a wyvern for this because they are not affected by the roar
Keep shooting tranqs at it till it’s knocked.
It’s torpor doesn’t drop very fast, so you don’t need too many narcs
Use whatever kind of food you want
I hope this helped! Happy taming
At lvl 140, it took 50 minutes to starve tame with 25 mutton at taming effectiveness 97.3% (+68lvl).
About 30 tranquil darts with a 210% longneck rifle and 10 trans arrows with a 241% cross bow.
How to tame yutyrannus: run in the opposite direction and use a bola on your friend
It's over Anakin, I have the high ground!
You underestimate my power.
Don't try it...
Yutyrannus screaming
It really is that simple though, they can't reach you or your flier on a big enough rock, so if you don't want to make a trap you can just shoot down from a rock or cliff once the carnos are dealt with. Be ready for a goose chase once it starts running.
X creatures take 3x the tranqs required to tame a normal one.
Surprisingly you can net the yutyrannus (saved me many times)
It kinda looks like an Allo with feathers. Kinda cute. Ima go pet it, and holy sh*t it's not cute! Run for your life!
All you need to do is just get the high ground
STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THINGS NOT ON MOBILE! YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO PAY FOR THE GAME! It all balances out in the end
A good and easy trap for these is 3 stone behemoth gateways. You put up two in a V with a gap at the pinch for you to shoot/run through and then the third gateway at the other end. Put the doors on the V and when it follows you in pop in the last door and walk out through the gap. Make sure to kill the carnos before knocking out the yuty, they will eat it when knocked out. Now with the carnos dead go ahead and knockout the yuty and give it some kibble. No narcotics required. Have fun with your new Yutyrannus!!
