How to tame a Yutyrannus

The Yuty is a snow-biome tame that never comes alone: wild ones command two or three Carnotaurus minions that defend it, and its fear roar can send your own mount running with you on it. Standard approach is a stone pen or cliff ledge, dealt with AFTER you kill the carno escort. Do not try to out-brawl the whole group in the open.

Its fear roar does not affect players on foot, so a common tactic is fighting from a ledge on foot with a good crossbow or rifle. Bring cold protection, lots of narcotics for a long tame, and Extraordinary Kibble if you want the effectiveness on a high level - this is a creature you tame FOR the levels.
