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

These guys can be netted with a net gun. Tranq darts are affective but i knocked out a lvl 135 with about 15 shocking tranq darts. Great for boss fights cause of its courage roar ability. Pair with an army of rexes and you’ll be a force to be reckoned with.
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.
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.
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)
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.
X creatures take 3x the tranqs required to tame a normal one.
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!
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)
