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!

These things will only attack if they are in a pack of 4 or more.

These guys seem to only target dead or unconscious creatures. Please surround any tames in progress with spike walls so that a pack of these jerks won't come out of the woodwork & ruin your taming effectiveness 😑

These adorable killers can eat thatch

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!!!

These are the most useful protective animal.in my opinion. I got lucky with a pack of four level 80-90's and now I'm at twelve all around 120-140. I ain't ever gonna die.

You can tame the alpha. After killing the underlings it should debuff shortly thereafter, as long as you don't lose it.

If you’re breeding for mutations, the rejected pups make good prime meat to feed the alive ones. A little sad and barbaric but it works for me...

I use mine as guards to my slave cages

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)

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.

If you startle the hyaenodon, the taming percentage goes down so try not to startle it!

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

I equipped mine with meat packs and added them to a whistle group. Then I went out and whistled them to attack anything upwards of parasaurs they’re great for hunting.

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

Just use an argy and pick up the doggy, then let someone else pet it.

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.

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.
