Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a hyaenodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a hyaenodon.
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 crouch to the side of the opening and pet it when it does. As long as your not to close to the opening it can't detect you.
Easy nice tame, as long as you can kill around 3 other you could probably get them easy once you have chillie
So I just tamed one and it just walked up on door frame and door lmao
1. Dont Use door frame and door
2. After petting keep your Distance
3. Never make eye contact even if you are wearing ghillie armor. They get scared
4. You got a HardToGetDogo.
Just started taming these guys and it can be easily startled to ruin the taming. I noticed that if you use First Person View, it gives you a slightly longer range to pet these guys without disturbing them during taming. Hope this helps😊
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 and then cage them in as well. I did each hyena individually because they spook otherwise.
A word worthy of note, Hyaenodon's WILL attack in large packs. Stick to a group of three, including the alpha.
Also worthy to note that alpha's occasionally enter some sort of rage mode and can quickly break free from bola's.
After you've got your hyena's caged, fly out of render distance to lose aggro and then fly back in and proceed with the tame.
You still need your ghillie suit and to be crouched.
These are only one time uses so make sure to demolish for resources after you're done!
Good luck out there!
Alr i feel like giving a tip on how to tame
1) make a 2x2 tatch foundation with a 1 wall high a wall and a door.
2) add a roof and another row of walls
3) take ur flyer and go kidnapp one
4) drop the hyaenadon you kidnapped in the trap
5) go under and pet it
6) you got a good boi
can someone tell me why I can't pet it ? I play ark on a ps5 I don't know why but when I was close enough the pet button didn't show up.
Just found out each du du of there movement is counted as 1 second out of the 30
Also when pet move back and then try to stay away from the face also upped speed is really good for the crouch
If you go a little to the side it can help because he will sometimes stop from all of a sudden and you will bump into him.
You have to pet it.......but THEY WILL ATTACK IF THEY SEE YOU!
The thing about these is that they don't attack anything unless an animal has really low HP and isn't surround by predators. Stick around a ton of Ankys or something like Ankys, and you should be fine. They are found in Scorched Earth, even though tons of people say they are not there. I found four in an Oasis.
I put 23 narc arrows on this bad boy. Didnt work lol. Pet em
Don't Shift + Tab for steam overlay, the sprint key makes you stand up. Also don't change from crouches to prone, any stance change will scare him/her
Put it in your unfinished house lol.
Alphas can be tamed if taken away from pack I just did it
I hate how they are not on moniel overall- you just need to keep petting them to tame them0-0
first use a flyer trap it in a 2x2 box then get some ghillie pet it once try it and fail but if you do just go out of render it won’t be scared anymore once you come back
When you locate one of these use the Equus to trap it under its belly and your free to tame without it being spooked
1 get gille Armor
2 get flying drop in 1 foundation long pen 3 or more high pet it then have a good doge
I've noticed that with enough space in a pen and ghille you can tame one in captivity easily. Don't need a second one nearby. Just run out of render distance and come back to a calm hyena if you spook it.
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 🦤
