What are tips for dire bear? Tips and strategies for dire bear in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They aren't very tanky but do a ton of damage so have a creature with heath and damage! Out running a direbear is like finding unicorn. Het high ground, jump in a river or get in a enclosed place!
Direbears are omnorvers! Best for supor kibble or giant bee honey. Best to use tranq darts than tranq arrows case a direbears torpor is higher that it heath.
I would recondmend the red woods i found a lvl 115 there
Probably the most versatile ground mount. Can kill almost everything, with good saddle and imprint can even kill Alpha Rexes and death worms. Can gather honey, berries, meat, fiber, hide, pelt etc. At full speed can outrun Gallis and Micro raptors. You can shoot while mounted so it's good as taming companion. It also has an insulation effect like Otter and Dimetrodon so you can use it in cold/hot areas or for egg hatching. You can safely gather honey with right click, so if you have one you can tame others with high efficiency without kibble.
Diif you want to find direbears I recommend going to the redwood forest they're pretty common there I also recommend Taming a Pteranodon( if you're low level and you already have the saddle ) cuz its much easier to got out of danger when you have a flyer
The direbear is best all around pet it will collect berry,meat,hide,chitin,fur,low lvl 5 bear comes with 600 lbs carry and speeds close to a girlie use a trap to pin it up and thank it.
On official they can be the best starter tame you can get. Just don't get too excited because they struggle to kill spinos and up on abb. They work just like rhinos in the charge up run but the damage does not multiply. Becareful around these they can easily get a max level drake down to 50%. Overall they are a very good starting tame good at speed damage and health but they aren't as good end game.
Can’t Climb rocks get on rocks and use Tranq Arrows
Be careful when encountering these. Keep your distance because if agro, they hit like a bus. Two swipes with hide armor and you are dead. Shotguns take them out well.
Apparently, the BEAR TRAP doesn't work for the frickin BEAR??????!?!?!??!!?!?!?
Be ready to make tranq darts
And u should have a taming pen
