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.
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
STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THINGS NOT ON MOBILE! YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO PAY FOR THE GAME! It all balances out in the end
X creatures take 3x the tranqs required to tame a normal one.
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
Surprisingly you can net the yutyrannus (saved me many times)
The yutyrannus meaning “Feathered tyrant” is truly a force to be reckoned with. By itself it’s incredibly dangerous that’s obvious. Also the yutyrannus always spawns in with a escort of carnos that fight along side it.
So with all of that in mind, how the heck do you tame one!?
Well there is no easy way. The yutyrannus is very difficult to separate from its escort of carnos, you either have to manage to kill its escort of buffed carnos (buffed with courage), or with incredible luck, separate the yutyrannus from its carnos. (Additional warning: the carnos buffed by the yutyrannus usually target the creature the yuty targets.) thankfully Ark usually has a 3rd option. Grab your friendly neighborhood harpoon gun, and make some nets (not cast nets). And introduce the yutyrannus to your net launcher! Make sure it’s carno friends aren’t left out. When you net them, do whatever you want I usually kill them because they get up eventually. Once you net the yuty immediately knock it unconscious. Once they break free from the net there’s a cooldown preventing you from netting it again for a bit.
Once you knock it out it likes prime or extraordinary kibble. Make sure you have narcotics or biotoxin. Eventually you will have your yuty
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!
