Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a yutyrannus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a yutyrannus.
I recommend being extremely careful flying around areas where a Yuti may spawn, as it’s roar attack will send your flier into a frenzy and potentially into danger. To tame, try trapping it and shooting tranq arrows or darts (I wouldn’t recommend anything else as this may either 1. Waste materials, or 2. Damage the Yuti so it either loses taming effectiveness or kills it) into its side/back, as the head does more damage instead of more torpor. These are great fighters and amazing for boss fights, especially when paired with Daeodons for healing!
Land on ice burg snipe out carnos and tranq the yuty build spike walls around
No need for a lot of narcotics it’s a slow torpor drop
Ease tame
Rhynios are undoubtedly the best thing to tame yutys with, as well as it is for taming most things, but especially yutys, because you can shoot off the back of it and it doesn’t get affected by the roar.
Just build a trap, kite it in, then shoot it off the back of the rhynio.
Job done, easy.
When taming on Scorched, it’s good idea to use the Lymantria gas to slow it down while your partner can run after it and tranq it, if you don’t want to use traps. Works with other dinos too 🙌🏻
You can net them and place gates around it
I tamed two solo. One on the Island and the other on The Center. I used terrain to my advantage. One thing I'll say is forget the carnos. Tranq the yuty until it runs. Use the time to kill the carnos since their leader is booking it. Then finish tranqing the yuty.
These guys are usually difficult to tame just because they stupidly go ahead and attack everything in the area. They just love danger.
The Yuty does have one very exploitable weakness, as it fancies itself a good swimmer. It is not. Lead it into the water to get away or separate it from it's cronies.
Don't worry he won't bite just look how fluffy he is
They are the best! And they don’t drown when you knock them out in water
Super simple trap:
4-5 stone pillars
1 large bear trap
Building it:
Place a pillar and then place a bear trap right in front of you and then to the left and right of the bear trap place another Stone pillar. And for more ease put another Stone pillar behind one of them and then lore the yutty into the trap once the bear trap is activated place the final Stone pillar closing the gap.
I would highly reccomend getting on a high place or use a Dino as bait
How to tame a Yuty!
The Trap
Materials: 6x stone foundations, 20x stone double doorframes, 4x stone ramp.
Place the foundations in a 3x2 rectangle, then the doorframes 2 high vertically on the perimeter. Then go to one of the sides that has 2 foundations and place the ramps.
The Trapping
Use a flyer (Pteranodon). Be sure to kill all the Carnos that follow it around before trapping it. Be careful of it’s roar, as it will scare your mount and you will lose control for a certain amount of time. Aggro the Yuty and get it to follow you up the ramp into the trap.
The Tranqing
Use your tranq ammo of choice (Tranq arrow, tranq dart, shocking tranq dart) and start shooting the Yuty. Be careful of the Yuty’s roar while dismounted, as it will scare off your Pteranodon and you most likely won’t be able to find it (I learned that they hard way.
Other Utilities
The Yuty has a courage roar that will give all Dino’s within range a damage buff and will take reduced damage. It also has a fear roar that will scare off most small/medium Dino's.
Now you have tamed a Yuty!

With the new map genesis a yutyranus x will take atleast the double of what it's writhing with priimitif weapon if you got good no you might be ok but I recommend you to bring double
Idk why everyone says 9 stone foundation for a 3×3, you don't need the middle one because it can't bury so it's not gonna make your trap any less effective and it saves you a foundation. If they say stone wall, what they mean is stone doorframe; it's cheaper and you can shoot through it and the yuty can't fit through any easier than walls. You can also skip like every other unit on the perimeter from having any walls since the yuty is chonk and nothing will really attack it through these gaps since it's an Apex predator. Personally I prefer using stone fence foundation in the perimeter of a three by three and one regular foundation for the stairs which aren't attached but close enough. Saves a lot of resources which is useful for making these in bulk.
Can a tamed Yutyrannus attack, or does it just roar?
You can net yutys and this is usefull because u can build stuff around it when its netted
It’s annoying how they hang around with Caron’s but you could get a friend to lure them away from it giving you enough time to knock it out
X Yutyrannus at lvl 135 took 162 tranq darts give or take a few for missing. Also took a whole long neck rifle
My Favorite large Carnivore kill Carnos, trap it, tranq it and feed it mutton or prime and have fun!
