Don’t nock it out it will not attack you you just have 2 walk over and pet the cute thing

You pet the doggo, not feed him

If you somehow have access to Scorched Earth items, be sure to make and consume Cactus Broth before taming this animal; Together with a full set of Ghillie Suit and a clear taming area, you can easily pet it without risking an aggro of either flee or attack kinds.

Build a 1x1 out of thatch or whatever your heart desires, grab an argy and drop one in it. You can pet it through the wall! BOOM! Done. I used wood foundation and thatch walls that were lying around. Must be walls, so it can't "see" you. Mine had its head sticking through a wall and I got super close and just started petting it like George from of mice and men.

Ok- to anyone who thinks this is a complicated tame, it’s not. All you have to do is crouch behind it and pet this little cutie a few times and BAM a life long friendship is born. Hope this tip was helpful. -Delinquent Dodo 🦤

I suggest using a good size pen with plenty of room and made of door frame at least 2 high i where full ghille (not needed but helps) pet then back away and let them walk around until I can get behind them again will take a few times to get hang of it but after taming one should be easier

if taming the alpha be very careful. the alpha is very skittish and will run if gotten close to. to tame the alpha you must kill all pack mates.

They are not on mobile! So sad, now I I can’t get a good boi…least I have the dire wolf.

Best way to tame a whole pack: make a normal ramp trap, but add FIVE extra foundations in a line away from the main body of the trap separated by a double door. At the end of the foundation tunnel, put another double door and a ceiling with a hatchframe surrounded by walls, the one at the end should be a single door. Make sure the ground is level enough for you to get under this.

Lure the pack into the trap (either by aggro-ing a 3+ member pack or using honey) and get the alpha to follow you down the corridor and lock it in the hatchframe room. It is now far enough away that the rest of the pack won't register as too close to it to tame. They are SO much more chill like this, you can just stand in their face and pet them, seriously. Tame any packmembers that catch your eye, then kill the rest.

Now the alpha is alone and tameable, but also far more jumpy. Crawl under the hatchframe and carefully pet it through the floor. It CAN still sense you if you're in the open part of the hatchframe, so stick to the edges and touch those tootsies when they stick through. And boom, entire pack is yours. Put some meat packs on them, breed them to see the cutest babies in the game and enjoy!

Wear a gille suit or whatever it’s called

Hands down one of if not the best hunting dog in ark. Cheap to armor, pack bonus, heals when harvesting corpses, and most importantly they are treated as man sized for Dino colishion so even raptors don’t get stuck on them. High lvl pack can down deathworms and alpha Rex BUT require a anchor or the Rex will spin and do massive trample damage.

Crouch and slowly walk near it the pet it when it says you can just be careful they startle easy.

Hyaenadons dont fit through doorframes. I had my own 1 tamed in a trap made of doorframes and 2 high. it had nowhere to run

They drop prime so if you’re not interested in taming them then killing them is a good option

Crouch when approching these in the wild then you will be able to pet it everytime so long as the alpha is not to near to them.

Noobs be warned their deadly and they come in packs but you can tame them with your bare hands petting them.

Is phlinger the only one that knows how to tame a hyaenodon or needs gaming?

If in a pack of 7 there unstoppable !!

For EASY taming trap one in a wooden cage and crouch

Throw honey from your hot bar to lure one into the cage
