Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a hyaenodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a hyaenodon.
Pick up with any any mount into a safe location the weather ghille and sneak up and pet every so often
Just walk up to it and pet it. Simple
Wear a gille suit or whatever it’s called
A buddy can hold it with a ptera while you tame it by sneaking up and petting his butt. There you go difficulty avoided.
These things will go full naruto on your butt
Snatch one from a pack with a ptera,if it agros just render out and back in after 3min. Then go full ghillie and start petting
Get a single foundation, surround it with walls so it’s literally just a 1x1 foundation with walls surrounding it, after that grab a Pteranodon or argentavis and drop the hyena in it, the hyena will become stuck in place but it will stick its head out of the wall letting you pet its head that’s clipped through the wall without it detecting you
Most of the comments say "use a flier to pick up and put in a taming pen" or something like that. But really, dont spend time and materials making a pen for passive tames. All ya gotta do is use a flier to pick up the hyaenodon you want and bring it to a safe place. You CAN tame pack leaders of any type of animal, just not alphas. Pack leaders only need to be taken away from their pack. So, either kill their pack or bring it away from their pack with a flier. You cant lead them away, or the whole pack will come, so yeah use a flier
Once the hyaenodon is in a safe place, preferably without large masses of bushes, because ive brought two hyaenodons there and they walk into the bushes and i cant find them. Then, make sure your mount is fairly far away, and crouch and stay behind the hyena. Pet it and back away whenever you can pet it and make sure it doesnt see you. If it turns sharply, and you cant move behind it fast enough just stop moving and it will ignore you. If it sees you it will run and some of the taming will go down. Super annoying. In valguero, the brown parts of the map are home to saberteeth (sabertooths?), mammoths, and hyenas with sometimes deinonychus and direwolf. Thats where i find my hyenas. Anyways, hyaenodons are super cute, go tame one (by the way, they will attack you if theyre in a pack)
I see what other people have said but in my opinion these things aren't much of a problem especially if you have something like an argentavis as you cna pick them up and either kill them or put them in a trap if you have a trap built but don't have an argentavis my tip for you is to get a fast dino or if you are fast hit one and sprint towards your trap if your lucky you can get the whole pack in there and kill the ones you don't want hopefully this helps but I wouldn't try tame one super early game :)
Place one stone foundation and place stone doorways on all four corners, place stone hatch and put four stone walls on second layer, get argie pick up hyandon and drop in top, fly away to de-agro and then crouch up and sit under it, tame through hatchframe
If you want an excellent taming bin watch Neebs Gaming - how to make a baby
if taming the alpha be very careful. the alpha is very skittish and will run if gotten close to. to tame the alpha you must kill all pack mates.
Ghillie suit. Always stay crouched. Never touch them. If they run stay crouched but you will lose progress from last pet. The higher the level the less progress for each pet. Full ghillie suit not half ass. STAY LOW BE PATIENT OR YOU WONT TAME THEM.
You pet the doggo, not feed him
Build a 1x1 out of thatch or whatever your heart desires, grab an argy and drop one in it. You can pet it through the wall! BOOM! Done. I used wood foundation and thatch walls that were lying around. Must be walls, so it can't "see" you. Mine had its head sticking through a wall and I got super close and just started petting it like George from of mice and men.
Is phlinger the only one that knows how to tame a hyaenodon or needs gaming?
Don’t nock it out it will not attack you you just have 2 walk over and pet the cute thing
If you somehow have access to Scorched Earth items, be sure to make and consume Cactus Broth before taming this animal; Together with a full set of Ghillie Suit and a clear taming area, you can easily pet it without risking an aggro of either flee or attack kinds.
The ultimate taming method is actually very simple :
1 : Do a 1X1 with 4 walls high ( no ceiling ) and 1 double Door .
2 : Take anything to grab the doggy and put it in the Trap ( i reco desmodus )
3 : Pet the doggy trough the wall because his head will stick out .
4 : now you are at 70% and will Want to use the desmodus potion to maximize the taming effectiveness , so just open the Door , let him go out , go behind him and use the potion 👌🏻
Congrats , you have now tamed a doggy like a pro with no effort 😎
Pro tips :
1. change settings for the click to be " E " and use a auto a clicker to even tame it AFK .
2. Passive tames are quite buggy , to resolve any dinos who would Never stop aggroing or be scared , use a yuti and fear him , it will reset any behaviour the dinos could have .
