For everyone complaining that bear traps don’t work on this creature, this bear is much larger than a bear today. As the description reads “Immobilizes humans and SMALL creatures” there is a giant bear trap you can use for bigger creatures. - Apollyon

You would have a better chance of living after getting hit by a freight train than getting bit by a dire bear.

Hello people of ark I have a short Tip about the DireBear

This thing is a killer if tamed or not tamed

Breed this thing and u can use it in boss fights or in general pvp

A bear can beat a rex if bred good enough

U may want to get ur hands on one of these

Make a 4x2 taming pen with window frames 2 ramps then u lure the bear inside I recommend u use tranq darts arrows will kill it, but if u play prim+ u have no other choise

If u play primitive+ use arrows and when the bear is bloody and still attacking the walls drag a corpse of a Dino or player to it wait 5 seconds after it eats the corpse then shoot it with ur tranqs

If it’s unconscious u put mutton in its inventory since it tames better and same effect as kibble

After its tamed u can get fiber with it as well

Its also verry fast don’t put its lvls into speed only melee stam and hp

I hope u found this helpful if u did make sure to like it so more people notice it

When running from one don't run in a straight line they get faster the longer they run so try to go through a heavily wooded area since it will hit the trees and it will its speed will reset

I like the dire bear in the wild. why? It's because it's not crazy and goes and kills everything in its path(raptors/terrorbirds you pests)just dont go near it.They will be mad but overall it's great.Too bad there are no bees is ark mobile:/

Bear trap might not work but LARGE bear trap does.

Use a large bear trap and when it is trapped use grenades, cattle prods or use an assault or longneck rifle or a fabricated sniper rifle

This little guy killed my Rex, spino, and bary because they were all on passive. Tip: Don't leave your Dino's on passive in the redwoods.

Only large bear traps work I learnt that the hard way
