Taming & KO Tips
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.
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
A hyenadon has a unique way of taming and is by far one of the hardest to try if not experienced. Here are some things on how to tame these beloved doggos.
1. EQUIP GHILIE ARMOR. This will help you keep camouflage and decreases the chances of the flighty creature spot you.
2. GRAB A FLYING TAME. It is a good idea to have an argentavis or a pteranodon to fly over the area you find a hyena pack.
3. BEWARE OF THE PACK'S SURROUNDINGS. It is always a good idea to think about the surroundings. If you happen to find a hyenadon pack NEARBY A DANGEROUS THREAT like a T-rex, it is best to try to LURE THE HYENAS AWAY, or you can simply FIND ANOTHER PACK if you aren't looking for trouble.
4. PICK YOUR HYENA! As you scout the hyenadon pack, OBSERVE the pack with a SPYGLASS while you are in the air on on high ground, just far enough to WHERE THE PACK CANT REACH YOU. Some hyena packs HAVE SPECIAL COLORS like BLUE AND GREEN. It is a rare occurrence, but there is a chance.
5. STALK. Once you have chosen a hyena, place your tame in a spot far away from the hyenas. If the pack contains 3 MEMBERS OR MORE, they will BE AGRESSIVE and TRY TO ATTACK YOUR TAME. CROUCH down near the hyenas and KEEP AN EYE on your chosen doggo. Once your desired buddy is FAR ENOUGH FROM THE REST of the pack, STAY BEHIND the hyenadon.
6. PETTING TIME. Once you get behind the hyena, PET them and the taming affinity will grow while the taming process continues. If you are quick enough, going your characters INVENTORY, go to the top and go to the BIRDPRINT MARK and click on TRACK ALL. Exit that setting and get back to taming. A MARK AILL APPEAR in front of the hyena and will SHOW YOU IF THE TAMING PROCESS GOES DOWN. Time to pet again! This happens EVERY 30 SECONDS so make sure to keep track!
This process may take long depending on the doggo's level, but pet them until they are tamed.
I'm sorry this was a long trip but for ones who made it to this last paragraph, congrats! You now know how to tame COUNTLESS PETTING DOGGOS!!!!
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
You cannot find these guys sadly on mobile.
You pet them, you don’t knock em out, pet doggo don’t hurt doggo
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.
If you want to find a good cheap taming pen go whatch phlinger phoo 👍
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.
How to tame these good pups.
Step 1: get an argy or pt (or if you’re close to their spawn locations you don’t need)
Step 2: I’d recommend to get atleast 3 for the pack boost possibly mate boost.
Step 3: locate a pack
Step 4: stay away from alpha and pet the one you want to tame
Step 5: try to not make them mad or scared
Step 6: follow the one you picked around and pet until tamed
Step 7: repeat until you have enough pups
Thank you for reading I’m sorry if it didn’t work this is just how I tame them!<3
Wait!!!!!!!!! No hurt doggo only pet with guilly suit!!!!! Pet doggo
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.
Use an araneo (if araneo never gets aggro by anything.) he won’t provoke the doggo while u pet
gud boi
Basically follow them around and when there parents aren't looking pet them
If you want to tame one tame the rest because they will attack. And if you want to hunt with a scorpion they will murder it. You will be sad when you best knock out Dino is killed so try to move them with an argy or quetsle first
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
He’s a good doggo he likes to be pet when your in a ghilie suit
Always stay crouched while taming. And never get close enough to touch it. While following the Hyaenodon, if the Hyaenodon ever stops, its very likely it will turn and start to walk in a different direction; so be aware that it might walk in your direction. Then back straight up... over and over again... and eventually you’ll tame one. Hope this helps. :)
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.
