Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a yutyrannus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a yutyrannus.
They spawn mostly in the Arctic to my knowledge, they arn't hard to trap, just use a taming raft.
Let me give you some advice if can don’t try and solo tame these things it’s a pain trust me I tamed my first one it took over a hour and a half just to get it trapped but when trapped super easy tame when you get rid of Carnos
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!
Previous Tip: Spino
Next Tip: Mosasaur

To tame a Yuty I use gigant doorframes (4-6 depending on how daring you are) and 2 Doors to keep on the outer frames. Kill off the carnos and lead your Yuty into the line of frames and trap it by closing the last gate. The best is that the trap can stay after taming if you would need another Yuty since they are easy to lead with a flier as long as you keep a distance, if you use vanilla structures you can pick everything up again to place again. Also remember! Yutys are slow eaters and will need narcotics so bring a bunch to be safe and have something that can Hunt prime Meat while it tames.
Happy hunting survivor! //Dely
I will never go back to tedious taming traps again now that the net exists! It took me about 5 nets using SHOCK darts to knock out a level 140, and the nets have about 10 seconds before they can be used on the same dino again. Net it, tranq it, get back on your flier, wait, and land to repeat the process again. I did this by myself with little trouble other than getting the yuty to not run into water.
Also watch it when yiu think you're about to KO it. It can be hard to tell at first glance whether it is simply trapped in the net or fully knocked out.
Build a trap out of 4x3 stone foundations and 2 stone doors high, then build a ramp on one side so that it can walk into the trap and can’t get out. Then kite one over the trap so it walks into it using a wyvern as they don’t get affected by the fear roar. Spinos also work because they can walk over the two wall high walls.
4 Stone gateways with 2 gateway doors is all you need to trap one, just put them in order with tiny gaps so you can get out.. put the first door on and then go and shoot him, get him after you and as soon as he in, put the second door behind him and go out the gaps, easy as can be 👍
I feel like this is a given but do NOT use an argy to try to lead it into a trap it will just get freaked out and youll lose control of your bird.
Rather build the trap large enough to hold both a rex and the yuty (make sure the rex has impeccable health just in case) and then lead the yuty in the trap and stand on the ramp just close enough to cryo your rex. Also make sure your rex is on passive or your yuty will probably die.
Net and build a trap with x3 Dino doorways and x2 gates around body. Then KO with tranq darts or narc arrows.
PS make sure their feet are inside the trap as they can stand up outside your trap.
Trap it in a trap and get prime meat before you take it
step 1: buy genesis season pass
step 2: grind genesis 2 until you have the net projectile
step 3: go to a mission terminal and put the net projectiles in its inventory
step 4: go to an obelisk(on other maps) and take the projectiles
step 5: craft a harpoon launcher
step 6: shoot the net on the yuty and kill carnos(preferably with rex) shoot another net on the yuty
step 7: k.o. yuty
step 8: TAME.... THE.... FLUFF REX
-thank you for reading through. hope it helped.
I would recommend trying to lure this into a trap if you can. They run fast when torpor gets high and they also tend to think they are fish. Megalodons love when you give them a free meal.
The 3x3 trap works with double door frames too, and might let carnos out for easier taming, I'm not certain, another tweak you could make is to make your base 2 by 3 rather than 3 by 3 to save on expenses, that also works on a rex or spino sized creature.
Wanna tame this fluffy predator? I’m going to tell you step by step how to tame one!; 1 for this tame you are definitely going to need some supplies, this is of course what I recommend bringing! I recommend a net gun, at least 5, this is because when a yutyrannus spawns in, they have 3/4 Carnos that spawn with them! Make sure to bring more nets just in case! If you don’t have access to the net gun the best bet for you is a trap, or the chaotic way! If you are low leveled I would recommend useing the trap as it’s a safe way of getting the yuty to stay in a specific area for safety and easy taming! You need 4 stone gates, and gateways, and like the Giga you place three in a box shape, and save the last one, put the beartrap in the middle of the trap once the yuty gets stuck on the trap run in behind it and put the final gate and gateway down! The chaotic way involves running arround tryna knock it out! Ok let’s back tack for a second I’m getting of the topic I was talking about. Ok For this tame you will need At least 200 narcotics or toxin, 200 is just to be safe as they’re torpor goes down slightly quicker that the Rex’s, I also strongly recommend bringing kibble, or prime (mutton works great as well) also pack tranq darts, and a good ‘old rifle! 2 spawn locations! These guys spawn on almost every map, aberration is the only one excluded from having yutys. I notice that most of the yutys I find spawn in the Antarctic regions, the map I find them most commonly at has to be crystal isles! Anyways now it’s time for 3 There are quite a few ways this could go wrong so i would suggest having a backup plan in case things go south! For this it would be ok to bring a tame with you, i suggest a flying mount! Also make sure if your on lost island to pack a few parachutes! I can list a few things you should be careful about taming this creature; 1, it’s fear roar, it will give you a debuff and if your riding a small creature it will panic and fly everywhere without warning regardless if your riding it or not! 2 it’s Carno gang, it’s carnos will get a dmg and resistance buff when the yuty roars, making them a dangerous threat, I recommend a net gun to get them out of the way then dispatch them later! (Feel free to tame the high levels if you want :D) 3 the yuty, the yuty being a carnivore uses it gang of carnos to help it in battle, and it’s most common prey is mammoths once it attacks something it will not stop chasing it unless it sees some easier prey, and as mammoths are docile, they will go after the yuty, This will end poorly for the yuty, so when this happens if you desire to tame that yuty you will have to help it kill the creatures tryna kill it! (These are just a list of possible mishaps, they are just common mistakes not all of these will happen, but sometimes one of these will and that’s just part of learning! :D) Now the knockout! I recommend a flyer to safely scout the area for a yuty, I recommend taming a higher level, if you plan on doing a boss! Having trouble finding one? Then listen carefully as you fly arround as the main giveaway of a yutyrannus’s position it’s of course its roar, you can here it from a distance and they are pretty easy to spot! Next if you are a low level you will have a choice trap or nets, the nets are the safer option to take everything down easily, with a trap you have to maneuver the yuty in with out the carnos getting in or coming after you! So I recommend armorif you plan on doing this! If you plan on netting, make sure nothing is after the yuty, if it’s all clear, shoot the carnos down first, and if you want to try to lead it somewhere I guess that’s alright, but I recommend knocking it out where it was, once you happy where the yuty is slap it with a net, and shoot it in the head with tranqs, be careful not to over do it! Once it’s out, that’s the hardest part done, now to feed it, kibble works best, but good quality meat works great too, I recommend mutton or prime, if you have no prime then luckily for you the carnos you used a net on, have a little bit of prime, it’s not a lot but it should be enough to tame it! Make sure you feed it some narcotics here and there and eventually you tamed the fluffiest predator on the ark! Congrats, but why to tame this? Here’s some good reasons it’s great! :D) 1. Fear roar, no matter what tame you have other than humans, they give a temporary special buff, this buff increases damage output, and put some resistance to input! Making this fluffy creature a common tame for boss slayers, also a decently fast mount, and a decent damage output, Very clearly this tame was meant for the boss battles and pvp wars, but it can be repurposed for whatever fulfills you! Happy taming! And take care!
Bring a thyla to chase and knock out then use the thyla to protect them
I actually tamed 2 of these, pretty easy. Only 70-120 tanq darts to knock these out and 1000-2200 narcotics. I basically breed these for fun, they have amazing damage, weight and health, better than a giga, but worse than a Titanosaurus.
I would say that I know the best way to tame one, all you need is:
4 stone gateways
4 stone gates
1 large bear trap
You will need to place the gateways in a square shape and leave just a small space between each, then put a large bear trap in the middle, now you will need to shoot the yuty and sit just behind the bear trap.
Once the yuty gets close you will need to back away a bit, the yuty should get stuck in the bear trap, now that it's stuck you should place a gate on each of the gateways so that it can't get out, now all you need to do is shoot it with tranqs through the gaps I told you to leave, and, boom you have a yuty!
Yuttyranus are actually not to hard to tame just build a 3x3 stone taming pen and then without a tame lure it inside make sure you have stuff nearby and a bed in case you die once it’s in it can never get in out so if the carnos are a problem you can take your time to kill them knocking them out is pretty easy and the rest of the tame just goes like taming a rex
Tamed a level 36 by luring the carno followers away, taking them out and tranquilizing her from above. Got her stuck on rocks in the process and I was high enough that the scream didnt effect my argy. Easy tame. No more than 100 narcotics, gather a bunch of prime meat while taming.
They are the king of the Rexes, tame these instead of Rexes
