What are tips for dire bear? Tips and strategies for dire bear in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Got into breeding direbears would definitely recommend we have one over lvl 300 and we are fully imprinting them to get them even better.
Please be careful when taking my level 30 tapejara died rip tape also be far away from them
Bear go chomp chomp on you if you’re not ready for it
Taming a 145 bear right now so if u use tranq arrows it will sometimes die instead of knock out so use traq darts for knock out , there super cute !!
The bear changed the game for me. Easiest thing there is to breed since they're an omnivore, so they eat berries, just be aware that they eat meat first if you're breeding anything else close by.
My bear has solo'd lvl 60 alpha Rex while only losing 10% health. Sounds unreal, but they can also solo alpha death worms.
Fighting them head on could prove unBEARable for lower or even mid level mounts.
This bear is better (bearer) in groups of 6 or more for PVP
It takes about 20 tranq darts with a journeyman rifle on a 150. It has over 900 weight and I'm inlove.
Primitive server tip: use taming pen and magnify glass.. bear will run when torpor is high, you can see how much torpor and how much damage your arrows do with Mag glass, torpor drops slower than health goes up :)
I found a 150 Dire Bear (pure black), and knocking it out with crossbow & tranq arrows almost killed it. Left it with 300 health out of 2500 so my recommendation would be to use tranq darts & tranq arrows as a mixture and or just tranq darts if you have enough. Tips from yours truly.-Nova
These bears are brilliant mounts- they can run fast and do a monsterous amount of damage. You can take rexs on these and if things go south you can outrun it anyway.
Make a 2×2 stone trap with 8 doorways and ramps on one side. Lure the bear and knock with darts (xbow will kill it). Feed honey or prime and boom! Tamed bear. Enjoy
But large bear trap works it works i tried it but bear trap doesnt work but large bear trap works.
