How ARK players tame and knock out the Hyaenodon: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

Do NOT wear a shoulder pet while taming. They can detect tames, and will run!

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…

Do NOT make trap high three walls just make it one wall high and then put sloped roof on top of it so they cant jump out

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

If you can try and to lead them to a deep place of water since they will swim above the water and then just pet them from underneath you will be able to tame more too because the are unable to swim fast

Full ghille, kill off all dinos around the hyena you want. Dont need trap.

Just patiently crouch 100% of the time!!!

It'll stop, it'll turn so be prepared to turn with it staying behind it.

Don't be over eager to get too close an pet, every 2nd time they…

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!

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!!!

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!

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.

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

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.

If you're on PvE like myself, you're going to need to first bola the alpha and then gate it in with 4 wooden Dino gateways and their coinciding doors. Just make a square around them. Then, wait for the other hyena's to be a far enough distance from the alpha/cage…

On Scorched earth you can place a tent on them, follow behind it with the tent ready to set it down, the tent will be red but let it walk to an out edge and spam the place button. Once it's inside open the door it will pop it's head out as it walks around so just…
