Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a hyaenodon? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a hyaenodon.
Crouch and slowly walk near it the pet it when it says you can just be careful they startle easy.
Crouch when approching these in the wild then you will be able to pet it everytime so long as the alpha is not to near to them.
This is not a knock out tame you have to crouch and pet it with Ghillie
If there is a small Island,then put on it and it will try to swim but gives up and comes back relax easier to tame. Watch out for the tail when petting from behind. Lost so much of the progress of taming, took another 10 mins.
If you have a friend and an argentavis easily take these by picking up one which is not fleeing while your friend in a ghillie suit is a ways away. Fly over and hover low enough that they can pet them but not so low the hyaenodon touches the ground. Be sure the person on the ground is out of line of sight before you hover and then sneaks behind the hyaenodon to pet. They don't have to move between petting. If it spooks then drop it into an enclosure and move out of rendering distance. We were successful without ghillie suits but you have to be perfect at sneaking. Scaring them makes the time meter go down.
If you pick it up with a flyer to bring it back to your base for taming and you stop for stamina, it will sprint and run away as fast as possible
I suggest using a good size pen with plenty of room and made of door frame at least 2 high i where full ghille (not needed but helps) pet then back away and let them walk around until I can get behind them again will take a few times to get hang of it but after taming one should be easier
Build an 4x4 building with trapdoors an take the four structurs seperat closely the hyaenodon will sit in the trap door an cant move , and now u can pet it he cant move
PVE
1. Pray to the ark god's you find one stuck somewhere.
2. Make sure you're close enough to see the pet timer and far enough away to not lose efficiency.
Good luck!
Make a 1x 1 stone box 4 high with a doorway at ground level and a hatch frame at first level. Then stick on your ghilli gear drop in a hyeanodon crouch and stop under the hatch frame and pet away. Once tamed break wall to release
Drop it in a tall trap. If it runs constantly let it go until it chills and try again. Pet its butt but stay back.
Everyone says can't tame alpha. Kill pack, boom can tame alpha..
Make a box of walls with a hatch frame at the bottom, make sure there's enough space undernreath the crouch around and then pet it from below, usually they get stuck and u can stand still pressing 'pet', I've tried loads of methods but this one is the best by far.
I think they fixed the tame rate multiplier for hyenadons on Tuesday, took me 9 pets at 11.3% per pet and just under 5 minutes on a 5x tame server
If on a PVE sever and have honey to spare, make a pen out of Wooden gates with a ramp going up lead the pack in with the honey and wear ghille, becareful if more then 3 they will attack, but will only aggro if you scare the alpha one tamed one pick it up fly out of venda(to base) then continue to tame the rest till there is no alpha and can tame the highest level. Note you want to make the pen big enough so other creatures aren't close to be able to Argo the pack.
Your welcome enjoy your puppies
They are crazy and they will kill you, just giving you a heads up
These are impossible to take if your server is too crowded with players. Their behavior causes them to teleport randomly, and their threat detection AI is way too sensitive. Broken on all official servers currently.
I want this tame so bad OnO it’s so cool and sad that you can bring some stuff in there too if not even the girl can go
I want a hyaenodon on da island
No need for ghillie, you can just crouch. Net gun the alpha, and lead the others away so you can pet the doggo
