What are tips for hyaenodon? Tips and strategies for hyaenodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Put it in your unfinished house lol.
Just walk up to it and pet it. Simple
Drop it in a tall trap. If it runs constantly let it go until it chills and try again. Pet its butt but stay back.
I'm surprised more people haven't tested these little guys. Last time I played was in 2018 and at that time I could take 8 breed doggies with a yuti and I could take out gigas with them.. the meat pack I had was only journeyman too.. never got around to trying them on bosses. Underestimated tame.
These are impossible to take if your server is too crowded with players. Their behavior causes them to teleport randomly, and their threat detection AI is way too sensitive. Broken on all official servers currently.
Make a box of gates and use and argy to drop them in.
I recommend watching Phlinger Phoo's taming pen video, he covers a really good one in it.
This is not a knock out tame you have to crouch and pet it with Ghillie
If during taming the hyenodon get spooked and starts to run around just grab him with a ptera or argy and carry him around just a little, then drop. He’ll be calm and you colud pet him again.
P.S. this tame is a pain in the butt!
When taming,use full ghillie armor and take it on a place where you think there's no possible threat.Be VERY VERY careful not to touch them while petting or the taming proccess might restart. Also they can go through doorframes
When taming crouch down and keep a distance until ready to pet again! They run when you stand up or stay too close. Crouch down, pet and then back up for 30 seconds!
Make 2 tall pens, put 3 doggies in one, k.o the alpha, pick up one, put in small pen and keep petting til it’s yours. (Griffins can pick these guys up easily)
Ghillie suit. Always stay crouched. Never touch them. If they run stay crouched but you will lose progress from last pet. The higher the level the less progress for each pet. Full ghillie suit not half ass. STAY LOW BE PATIENT OR YOU WONT TAME THEM.
Pro Tip! These guys can actually give you prime meat and you can get them with any carnivore! (I think)
I want this tame so bad OnO it’s so cool and sad that you can bring some stuff in there too if not even the girl can go
I want a hyaenodon on da island
When you put it in a 2x2 stone dinosaur gate pen, they seem to not move often. Letting you get up to 5 pets in between moving periods.
