Encountering Tips

How do I kill a hyaenodon? hyaenodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Fact about these things they know when they will win or lose a fight like for example if you were riding on an equus they would attack you but if you were on a Wyvern they wouldn’t little interesting fact I found on accident
Fact: Hyaenodons in real life were actually not even related to hyenas , their closest living relatives are pangolins(which also are not related in the slightest to raccoons, anteaters, aardvarks, armadillos or hedgehogs). And real hyenas despite appearances are actually not related to dogs or wolves, in fact their closest relatives are meerkats and mongooses and meerkats and mongooses' closest other relatives are cats and civets(also known as bearcats)
Add to mobile pls sread the word
Hyenadons are not dogs, they are more closely related to cats, sincerely - all actual hyena biologists
These absolute wankers are everywhere in the mountains and if you don’t have something larger than a parasaur it’ll target you and kill you
Fortunately if you are smart like me, you head to the nearest jutting rock and run around it, they have an insane leap so they’ll most likely overshoot and get punted down the mountains
Up this if you find it helpful
Pls stop spamming once again, it was not made by the ark Devs so u may as well stop spamming to add them
They can jump through stone windows. If you have any Windies in your taming pen, close them before you grab these guys.
You can find them in the city on extinction
Easy guide;
1. Grab the strongest one in the pack with a flyer.
2. Bring it to an area clear of anything.
3. Pet it multiple times.
Hyaenodons are opprotunists, meaning if they have an opprotunity to get a quick, free meal, they'll take it. Corpses? Heck yeah. Low HP? Yup.
You can find these cute little guys on beaches near the snow.
The spawn on the floating island in the center
You can tame the alpha. After killing the underlings it should debuff shortly thereafter, as long as you don't lose it.
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)
You Can Find them near the snow biome there between both borders and won't attack unless the feel like they can take you on so if there's 6 in a pack there's going to attack and alpha cannot be tammed
I haven’t found a single one in mobile!
Someone should write dmg multiplayers for head ect...
I had one, HAD. I brought it from Extinction to Valguero, I left it outside with my Wyvern, yet it still got killed by a Ravager. Hyaenodon=Weak when tamed.
A hyaenodon will run from you but if in a pack, they will all turn on you.
If tour at los hp yea. You dead meat 😂.
