Tips & Strategies

What are tips for hyaenodon? Tips and strategies for hyaenodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Full ghille, kill off all dinos around the hyena you want. Dont need trap.
Just patiently crouch 100% of the time!!!
It'll stop, it'll turn so be prepared to turn with it staying behind it.
Don't be over eager to get too close an pet, every 2nd time they stop, wait for them to turn an then pet.
Pet then back off a good distance immediately.
Cactus broth helps but not needed.bit will help keep other wild dinos away better.
When taming, stay crouched and behind it the whole time. Pet it them back off, count down from 30 in your head and repeat until they tame. MAKE SURE TO STAY BEHIND THEM AT ALL TIMES!
If something gets too close, they get scared or something and you have to start all over! Move them into a trap or something first. Spread the word so that people don’t waste their time stupidly!!!
Trap in a tent!!! You can crouch and follow while wearing ghillie and trap!! Just open the flap and stay crouched off to the side and spam the pet button!!! Works on official PvE!! I have an army!!!
You can tame the alpha. After killing the underlings it should debuff shortly thereafter, as long as you don't lose it.
It's easy enough to just kill the pack and follow the one you want to tame. Full ghilly and just stay behind it, just within reach of petting.
They will attack you if they are in large numbers. If they attack, don't flee. Just keep fighting, because when they get to 2 (or 3) they will flee. They are also way to fast to flee form. Just stand and fight. (You're screwed without a mount)
If you startle the hyaenodon, the taming percentage goes down so try not to startle it!
I didn't have a full set of ghillie but I did have a friend and a Argent so I had my friend ride Argent and hold the dog above the ground while I went behind and pet it and now I have a level 209 doggo
The spawn on the floating island in the center
Easy to find, breed and level. King of Cave Diving. Can use golden hesperornis eggs to quickly level up petting and pack bonus make the tanky with high dps. Can easily reach 4k hp with 500% meelee. Yutyranno buff will make them extremly hard to kill, they heal themselves when eating corpses are small and get armor through their saddle one of the most reliable creatures on the ark.
They are super fun with a bigger pack like I got 20 and they are beast get two good lev male and female or tame the whole pack! Get some dogos
Just use an argy and pick up the doggy, then let someone else pet it.
I have tried for years to tame one of these dogos never had any luck n never used traps that being said i tried it ealier didnt see the thing about not going after an alpha doggo. I trapped the aplha in my mantis trap while he was trapped i run around and made sure that he was a sigma buy getting rid of his subordinates. Then i discovered even in full guillie he was still aggro went out of render would instantly aggo me so i relogged and apon relogging he was docile chill like who needs a pack the true sigma doggo i let him out and followed him giving him pets approximately 6-10 feet behind and every time hes stop roughly every 15 seconds id creep up pet the puppers the back of a couple feet note he always turn away from the side your creepin up on him from so if ya come from right rear, after pet he will turn to the left usully in about a from 12 to 10 angle and visa vera is you hugged the left but itd be 12 and 2 also im playing this on ase mobile so make note cuz this is where i always screwed this tame up when you pet its not like useing your last slot feed type option like how you pet the listro. you must open the wheel and physically select pet or i garentee nothing will happen except scaring off the poor puppers
Never tranq it to calm it. It will continue to sleep for the rest of its life. Mine is sleeping since 56min, and i can't wake up with stimulants cause it's glitched and i can't acces to it's inventory. Happy 150 Hyaenodon tame failled.
