Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a yutyrannus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a yutyrannus.
Sprints slightly faster than an allo, easy to maneuver, can go over obsticles similar to an allo, stamina drain and recovery somewhat similar to allo, slightly more than a Spino and slightly less than a Rex with damage per hit, health and weight equivalent to a Rex, one of the roars can scare off almost all dinos (some need to be roared at more than once) which is great for protecting an unconcious tame, the other roar bolsters the combat prowess of nearby tames and can temporarily make wild carnos an ally. Yutyrannus is an amazing mount to have. There are a few cons though. Very slow attack speed, if standing still you have to wait for the attack to finish before you can move again (sounds silly but try it and see what I mean), has a lower starting melee damage percentage when tamed and gains less per lvl when compared to mounts of similar size (ex. Yutyrannus starts with about 260% and gains about 4-5% per lvl up, Rex starts with about 330% and gains about 5-6% per lvl up), low dps.
I just use the large bear trap method
Depending on your level and Materials you have. large bear traps are pretty cheap to craft. Craft five or more depending on how comfortable you feel.
And use any method of tranquilizing you like.
Tip: when your timing something it never hurts to go a little bit above of what you need in materials.
1. Find the fluffy t Rex. When you find one make sure you’re pretty close but not too close for it to notice you.
2. Place down all the bear traps in a line.
3. Once all your Bear traps have opened. Try to get the attention of the fluffy t Rex. Just shoot it once or go up to it (if you’re brave enough). Once you have its attention run to the first beer trap in the row of bear traps you’ve place down.
4. Once it’s caught in the bear trap you wanna run to the last bear trap in the row. You Want to have the bear traps between you and the fluffy t Rex. And that way you can start shooting it. and as it breaks each bear trap and try’s to come toward you it steps on another Bear trap getting it’s self stuck.
And depending on what tranquilize method you use you probably won’t have to worry too much about it running away but they’re pretty slow. I use this method for almost every dinosaur I tame that can fit in a large bear trap.
My new favorite dinosaur. And pretty easy to tame if you have a doedicurus for stone
Build a 2x2 stone trap with 2 high stone doorways (so u can get out and with a ramp of your choice and kill carnos that will follow it and just tranq until it drops. I got the help from a yt so credit to him for getting me a yuti. Have fun with your new dodo on steroids
Easy tame method:Make 2 by 2 trap stone with doorframe as walls and 4 ramps on one side then take a wyvern and run in front of yuty he/she will follow you then lead them to trap
I use wyverns to tame these, as wyverns are not affected by the scare roar thing. Just find a place it can’t climb to get you, then just tranq it. Once it runs get on your wyvern and chase it, then corner it and knock him out. Not the most safe way but it works.
It has feathers, its fluffy, it is the tickle chickens brother
Easiest way to tame one: go find one(I found a lot near the blue obelisk), pick off carno's with argy. Place behemoth gateway and gate, open gate, behind behemoth gateway place another behemoth gateway without gate this time.
Place a third behemoth gateway with a gate closed behind the one you just placed. (Make sure behemoth gateways are close to each other, I mean... CLOSE!) Place large beartrap inside the trap, then lead it into trap. Close gate and tranq. When done tranqing wait for it to starve (bring narcotics just incase) last step... feed it. Now it is yours. (Try to bring an empty cryopod)
one of the most annoying things about the Yuty is the fear roar, avoid it by staying behind the yuty every 5 sec or so.. You can pull him to your trap, it is just you need to pull him and avoid his roar again and again.
How to make a cheapest trap for Yuty:
You will need: 1 Foundation, 3 double doorframes and 2 ramps all in stone.
Place foundation then 2 doorframes on one side and one on opposite then place ramps on side with 1 doorframe
There you go just run in trap from ramp side and you have a Yuty now
Up for more people to know this cheap trap
Use a netgun, trust me It'll be much easier to tame.I actually foumd the 2 150 x yuti males today very close to each other tamed them both, and named the first one call of yuti World at roar
It take 6 hours to tame it with fish meat!
1 hour for normal meat
WHAT

These things are incredibly useful. When taming, however, they have one fatal flaw: They're morons. They will run around and attack EVERYTHING regardless of how damaged they are or how strong the opponent. They also fancy themselves to be great swimmers. Flying around the tundra you will see many swimming around until they meet their untimely doom. Please tame as many as you can to help save them from their own stupidity.
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.
On the Valguero map, they are pretty much all in the snow biome. If you are on a dino, dismount and go knock it out yourself because your dino will get scared.
I swear every time I see one it’s level 130 or more lol just my luck so now we got the best yutys on the server.
Here’s how I ko
I make a 3 by 3 foundation
Then enough doorframes to make it 2-3 tall then 4-6 ramps depending on how tall the trap is
Then I find the yuty or yutys and trap them
After that I grab my wyvern, darts and some podded ovis
Ko each yuty
Un pod the ovis
Use the wyverns ability fire, ice, poison, lightning or the others and kill the ovis then feed the mutton to the yutys
My yuty stats are 9.2k up 1930 Stam 356 damage
No mutations
Hope you get better all

Taming this big fluffy T-rex won't be easy when having or riding a dino with you because of its fear roar. It's hard to tame it because it will scare your dino away. So try to get it off a cliff but a cliff where you can see it and shoot it with tranq arrows. But be careful because it can go in the water. Once knocked out give it raw meat or mutton.
Way faster than a rex! Kite it into a good area or trap and watch out for any other carnivores that it can buff with that almighty roar. Unless you wanna be shredded meat of course!
Get 4 stone foundations, build a square. 16 stone door frames, 2 high on outside foundation. 4 ramps/stairs all on the same side. Then lead it with a flying creature. Shoot it with darts. The feed
For trying to tame one of these beast you do not want to be on a mount.you’ll need a trap 6 wood or stone foundations and about 16 doorframes.and you have to lead the yuty in by yourself.after it’s in the trap tranq it and it’s yours!
How to tame a Yuty with 3 large bear traps, a longneck and some tranqs:
1. Locate Yuty.
2. Align large bear traps in a straight line (each one has a bit of distance in between) a good distance away from the Yuty.
3. Clear area of large creatures, as they may fall into the traps.
4. Wait until the Yuty and it’s carnos move in to attack something.
5. Shoot the Yuty with a tranq after it has roared. The Yuty will then chase you while the carnos continue attacking their first target.
6. Shoot as many tranqs into the Yuty as you can while running back to the bear trap line set before.
7. Yuty will run over and become trapped in the bear trap, allowing the player to pump tranqs into it.
8. Kill the Yuty’s carnos, who were far too late in their task of defending their master, and feed the Yuty the carno meat >:)
9. Name it Abunga
NOTE: technically only 1 bear trap is needed if you perform perfectly, however I like to have backups placed in case a trap or two are tripped on accident, or it takes more than 1 trap for the Yuty to knock out (the higher the level, the higher the chance this will happen).
In my opinion this is way more resource and time efficient than a traditional stone wall trap. Hope this helps! :3
