How do I avoid aggroing a Yutyrannus while taming it in ARK: Survival Evolved?
Taming a Yutyrannus in ARK: Survival Evolved can be a challenging task due to its aggressive nature and the unique mechanics surrounding its behavior. The Yutyrannus, often referred to as the "Yuty," is a large carnivorous dinosaur that can buff nearby creatures with its Courage Roar and debuff enemies with its Fear Roar. To avoid aggroing a Yutyrannus while taming it, you need to understand its mechanics and prepare accordingly.
The Yutyrannus cannot be tamed passively. It must be knocked out and fed its preferred food, which is either raw mutton, prime meat, or kibble. However, the Yutyrannus has a unique mechanic where it will not aggro on you if you are crouching and moving slowly. This is crucial to avoid triggering its aggression. When you crouch and move slowly, the Yutyrannus will not detect you unless you get too close or make sudden movements. This mechanic allows you to approach it safely and set up for the taming process.
To begin, you need to prepare the necessary resources. You will need a long-range weapon like a crossbow or a longneck rifle with tranquilizer darts or arrows. Narcotics or biotoxin are essential to keep the Yutyrannus unconscious during the taming process. You will also need its preferred food, such as raw mutton or kibble, to feed it once it is knocked out. Additionally, bring armor and medical supplies to protect yourself in case things go wrong.
The first step is to locate a Yutyrannus. They are commonly found in snowy biomes, such as the Snow Biome on The Island or the Frozen Tooth on Ragnarok. Once you find one, crouch and approach it slowly. Keep a safe distance and avoid making sudden movements. If the Yutyrannus detects you, it will roar and aggro, making the taming process much more difficult.
Next, you need to set up a taming pen. A taming pen is a structure made of stone or metal that traps the Yutyrannus, preventing it from escaping or attacking you. Build the pen in a location where the Yutyrannus can be lured into it. Use large dinosaur gates or walls to create the pen, ensuring it is large enough to accommodate the Yutyrannus but small enough to prevent it from moving around too much. Once the pen is ready, lure the Yutyrannus into it using a fast mount like a Pteranodon or a Raptor. Be careful not to get too close or aggro it during this process.
Once the Yutyrannus is trapped in the pen, you can begin the knockout process. Use your long-range weapon to shoot tranquilizer darts or arrows at the Yutyrannus. Aim for the head to maximize torpor gain. Be patient and take your time, as the Yutyrannus has high health and torpor. Keep an eye on its torpor level and use narcotics or biotoxin to keep it unconscious if necessary.
After the Yutyrannus is knocked out, place its preferred food in its inventory. Raw mutton is the best option, but prime meat or kibble will also work. Monitor its taming progress and keep feeding it as needed. Be prepared to defend the area, as other predators may be attracted to the unconscious Yutyrannus.
Common mistakes to avoid include getting too close to the Yutyrannus before it is trapped, using insufficient resources to keep it unconscious, and failing to defend the area during the taming process. Advanced techniques include using a taming calculator to determine the exact amount of food and narcotics needed, and using a taming pen with a roof to prevent the Yutyrannus from escaping.
In a tribe setting, coordination is key. Assign roles to tribe members, such as one person to lure the Yutyrannus, another to shoot tranquilizers, and others to defend the area. Solo players should focus on preparation and patience, ensuring they have all the necessary resources before attempting to tame a Yutyrannus.
In conclusion, taming a Yutyrannus requires careful planning, patience, and understanding of its mechanics. By crouching and moving slowly, setting up a taming pen, and using the right resources, you can successfully tame a Yutyrannus without aggroing it. With the right preparation and strategy, you can add this powerful dinosaur to your arsenal and enhance your survival in ARK: Survival Evolved.
