What are tips for dire bear? Tips and strategies for dire bear in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Use tranq arrows but no head shots it’ll die
I recommend using a cliff or a ledge do get high ground since bolas and bear trap don't work
Direbears, megladons of the ocean except they’re a lot more powerful and that have worse base health
Polar bears are far stronger than both regular dire bears and abberant dire bears. As of right now I believe they are only tamable on Ragnarok, unless you use cheats on Genesis (polar region) and then breed two bears. If your force tame the baby, it will act like a legitimate tame once it reaches full maturity. Polar bears are a little harder to get, but their well worth it in terms of stats.
I was reading all the tips but most were wrong. If you are planning to tame one of these, use a 3 by 3 taming pen with narcotic traps on the ramps. By far the safest way to take down the bear without putting yourself or the bear on danger.
Just use honey to tame them, all you have to do is grapple a couple bee hives for a high level, alpha killing, beast
You see one get on a rock and spray it until it gets knocked out and tame it may need some narcotics but still a great tame
Only down side is in mobile I think but anyways that direbears don’t have sound animations when tamed so you wouldn’t hear them coming
I go pelt hunting for these bring at least a few pack mule cause your inventory get hevy from pelt
Was trying to stay cheap and I’ve always tamed by bears using tranq arrows even tho they so close to dying and I’ve got this one knocked at about 246 lv and took 73 arrows and then it was one crossbow shot away from dying so I walked into the pen like a total badass’ and hit that thing five times over and it was at 8 hp so I couldn’t punch anymore and I went back to wait for it to regain enough hp and then it passed out. #ProWinsAgain
YOU NEED A BIG BEAR TRAP FOR THIS BIG BEAR
Go to a cliff and shoot it will work
Build a taming pen and knock with tranq with a snow owl near to heal.
