What are tips for dire bear? Tips and strategies for dire bear in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Direbear have little health compared to torpor. Keep a few tamed dodos at your ramp trap. When you've shot the bear enough for it to be bloody, throw in a dodo. It will instantly kill and eat it and start regenerating health. Give it a moment or two and continue darting. Happy hunting!
These guys can run up to really fast speeds when agro. When tamed they are AMAZING berrie and fibre collectors. Really powerful, a low level bear could easily take on a low level Rex.
To reduce chance of killing it while trying to knock it out is by shooting with a primitive crossbow without delay until it starts to show blood then switch to a regular bow and then space shots 7 seconds apart - works every time for me no matter the level
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
Only the large bear trap workd because he ate too much McDonald's
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:/
If you on mobile and meet it at 200 Or more (hard or brutal) don’t be happy because i was. The topor too much and heath is litte so . If you want tame him at high lv( watch his heath).( my english is bad)
Probably the most versatile land creature. Can eat berries and meat. Hard to tame unless you use DARTS or a SNOW OWL to heal it during tranq arrow-ing it with a x-bow.
Probably best to put HP>Dmg. These things are trucks but don't get to cocky.
You wont be able to knockout a high level direbear 400+ using tranq arrows in a crossbow instead use longneck rifle with tranq darts but the darts are only craftable in level 62.
(for Mobile)
Why is this not affected by bear trap?
Do not mess up with them when you are low...
They are SOOO strong!!!!
