Tips & Strategies
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.

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 itβs 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 itβs knocked.
Itβs torpor doesnβt drop very fast, so you donβt need too many narcs
Use whatever kind of food you want
I hope this helped! Happy taming
If you're lucky, you can find one of these alone. I would recommend targeting one that is alone, unless it is too high of a level or too low. Therefore you don't have to worry about Carnotaurus trying to kill you. Kill off anything ot might try to pick a fight with, like mammoths (you can use the prime meat from them to tame it). It takes a good amount of arrows so best if you use tranq darts instead. Just be careful of its roaring because there could be Carnos nearby.
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.
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.
Make sure you have plenty of distance from the trap
How to tame yutyrannus: run in the opposite direction and use a bola on your friend
Surprisingly you can net the yutyrannus (saved me many times)
X creatures take 3x the tranqs required to tame a normal one.
If you have Desmodus, attach to a wall and fire one dart. The UT will fear roar but you won't detach and you can wait it out. After, just fire away until he runs, then detach from wall and chase and shoot. Took me about 15 minutes of chasing but he didn't fear roar after he started running. Used this after traps failed me
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)
