Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Yutyrannus, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Yutyrannus at different levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.

Use the narcotic calculator to determine exactly how many Narcotics, Bio Toxin, or Narcoberries you need for the Yutyrannus. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. At 0.73 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.

The Yutyrannus is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.

Melee starts at 100% - decent hitting power that scales with level-ups. The Yutyrannus has 1,100 base Health - impressively tough. With 420 base Stamina, the Yutyrannus has good endurance. A base Weight of 500 means massive inventory space.

The Yutyrannus is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Extraordinary Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

After taming, the Yutyrannus is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 32°C–34°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 30 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.94 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
