How do I tame a hyaenodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a hyaenodon.
Alright, so I failed at this over and over again, and here’s what I learned so you’re not like me.
Don’t try to trap in rails or low walls, you’ll need something at least three high to not worry about them waltzing over.
Don’t get in front of them, they’ll bounce, and if they bounce, don’t chase them, if they run once all the progress depletes rapidly.
Use cactus soup or whatever it’s called, not bug spray (obviously).
If you get one trapped randomly in a rock, do not move when you pet it at all, and try to pet it when it’s looking away from you, it’ll be a lot safer.
Don’t try to tame the alpha, and don’t try to tame one near the alpha.
Once you attempt to tame one, and they end up running (at least for me), you cannot tame again 85% of the time, they just book it when you pet them.
If you’re not trapping, stay directly behind, and pray it doesn’t suddenly turn around.
Hope this helps someone, everyone deserves a dog.

You cannot find these guys sadly on mobile.
Step 1: use a flyer to grab it and drop it into a taming pen
Step 2: wear ghillie armour and pet it
Step 3: you now have a good doggo

This is a little expensive but, I tamed one in a box by tranqin it when it woke it was calm and I was able to follow it around the box and pet it. Hope this helps
If you want to find a good cheap taming pen go whatch phlinger phoo 👍
You pet them, you don’t knock em out, pet doggo don’t hurt doggo
Hyaenodons will only fight someone who they think they can beat. If the Hyaenodons do not think they can beat you, they will run. If they do, they will attack.
Wait!!!!!!!!! No hurt doggo only pet with guilly suit!!!!! Pet doggo
He’s a good doggo he likes to be pet when your in a ghilie suit
Normally you can't tame the pack leader, so just get a pteranodon or argy, pick it up and drop it in a large area (like a separate section of your base). When you take it away from the rest of the pack, it removes its 'pack leader' title, allowing you to tame the highest level hyena of that pack.
Despite it's appearance, the real life hyaenodon was nowhere near related to actual hyenas, but it actually belongs to a group of prehistoric mammals, all extinct, that are believed to be most closely related to pangolins, which aren't related to anteaters or armadillos, for your information.
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!
Build a 1x1 box with door frames and throw a hatch ceiling and 4 more regular walls up and throw it in, it's butt will hang down and you can crouch and pet it under it without spooking it. You CAN tame without alpha present but if it becomes spooked you have to leave your chunk and let it reset.
Basically follow them around and when there parents aren't looking pet them
I used a combat argy to follow them around till they got stuck on something. Tamed a 145 and 150 both times they just walked in place while I sat there and hit E every 30 secs. Don't leave the argy to close or they will continue to try and flee even while stuck.
So I've been trying to tame one all morning, and I've come across this knowledge. Any type of armour is sufficient, I use chitin bc It's what I keep on me at all times. Use a Ptera, grab the Alpha, and fly it far from the pack. Set it down in an area that's open and scarce of other dino's, and park far away. Run up near it, but crouch before getting too close. Always stay behind it's butt, and crouching. If it turns, turn with it, staying behind it. 6 or so pets should do the trick, I have dogs ranging from lvl 20 to 140. Go for the highest level you can find, and ALWAYS stay behind it. After tamed, fly out w it to your base with the Pt. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
If you're taming one on a server where you can't pick up wild dinos, make sure nothing is next to it because it will get scared and loose effectiveness
I hate how they are not on moniel overall- you just need to keep petting them to tame them0-0
It's a passive tame just creep up on one that's alone and it'll give you to pet it and once per enough it's yours if you want to ensure the tame get ghile armor
Easy nice tame, as long as you can kill around 3 other you could probably get them easy once you have chillie
