How do I tame a Hyaenodon without it calling its pack in ARK: Survival Evolved?
Taming a Hyaenodon in ARK: Survival Evolved can be tricky due to its pack behavior. When a Hyaenodon is attacked or feels threatened, it will call its pack for help, making taming more difficult. To tame a Hyaenodon without it calling its pack, you need to isolate it and use a specific strategy to avoid triggering its pack behavior. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to do this effectively.
First, letÔÇÖs talk about the mechanics. Hyaenodons are carnivorous creatures that roam in packs. They are aggressive and will attack if provoked. When taming, you need to knock them out using tranquilizers, but if you attack one directly, it will call its pack. To avoid this, you must use a method that prevents the Hyaenodon from detecting you as a threat. This can be achieved by using a trap or a taming pen to isolate the Hyaenodon from its pack.
To start, youÔÇÖll need to prepare the necessary resources. You will need a taming pen, which can be built using stone or metal structures. A 2x2 or 3x3 stone foundation with walls and a ramp works well. YouÔÇÖll also need a long-range weapon like a crossbow or a rifle with tranquilizer darts, as well as plenty of narcotics or biotoxin to keep the Hyaenodon unconscious. For food, Hyaenodons prefer raw mutton, which provides the fastest taming speed, but you can also use raw prime meat or raw meat if mutton is unavailable.
Once your taming pen is ready, the next step is to lure the Hyaenodon into it. This can be done by using a fast mount like a Raptor or a Pteranodon to aggro the Hyaenodon and lead it into the pen. Make sure to avoid attacking the Hyaenodon directly, as this will trigger its pack behavior. Instead, simply get its attention and lead it into the trap. Once inside, close the gate or door to trap it.
With the Hyaenodon trapped, you can now safely knock it out. Use your crossbow or rifle to shoot it with tranquilizer arrows or darts. Aim for the head to maximize torpor gain. Keep an eye on its torpor level and be ready to administer narcotics or biotoxin to keep it unconscious. Once itÔÇÖs knocked out, place the raw mutton or other preferred food in its inventory. The taming process will begin, and youÔÇÖll need to monitor its food consumption and torpor levels to ensure it doesnÔÇÖt wake up before the taming is complete.
There are a few important tips to keep in mind. First, always approach the Hyaenodon from behind or while itÔÇÖs distracted to avoid triggering its pack behavior. Second, make sure your taming pen is secure and that no other predators can interfere with the taming process. Third, have plenty of narcotics or biotoxin on hand, as Hyaenodons can lose torpor quickly. Finally, if youÔÇÖre playing solo, consider using a taming calculator to determine the exact amount of food and narcotics youÔÇÖll need.
Common mistakes to avoid include attacking the Hyaenodon directly, which will cause it to call its pack, and not having enough narcotics or biotoxin to keep it unconscious. Another mistake is not securing the taming pen properly, which can result in the Hyaenodon escaping or being attacked by other creatures.
For advanced techniques, you can use a taming pen with a roof to prevent the Hyaenodon from jumping out. You can also use a taming pen with multiple gates to make it easier to trap the Hyaenodon. Additionally, using a taming calculator can help you optimize the taming process by determining the exact amount of food and narcotics needed.
In terms of tribe or solo considerations, taming a Hyaenodon is easier with a tribe, as you can have one person lure the Hyaenodon while another closes the gate. However, itÔÇÖs still possible to do it solo with careful planning and execution.
In conclusion, taming a Hyaenodon without it calling its pack requires careful preparation and execution. By using a taming pen, avoiding direct attacks, and keeping the Hyaenodon unconscious with narcotics, you can successfully tame this powerful creature. With the right strategy and resources, youÔÇÖll have a loyal Hyaenodon to aid you in your survival and exploration in ARK: Survival Evolved.
