What are tips for dire bear? Tips and strategies for dire bear in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
First build a trap 3 dino gates spaced a little to leave a gap and doors either side trap and tranquil it with darts about 50 is enough now grapple up to beehives just before taming for the honey. And your done easy to tame and can easy kill just about anything
Really good for combat and gathering, easiest way to tame is to get a tapejara, place a large bear trap underneath a redwood tree, shoot at one while hanging on to the tree with the tapejara. It will aggro on to you but get stuck in the bear trap and can’t run away and it can’t hit you because you’re on the tree
If taming on Aberration, use shock darts. Killed a 150 that was at full health with regular tranq.
You can use an Argentavis trap to trap it and use Trang Darts instead of arrows! And you should tame with bee honey.
These guys are strong af as an all around mount, good health, good attack, and... OMNIVOROUS. It eats meat and berries
If you are looking for any old bear use darts. But to weed out the tanky ones from the weak ones use crossbow and bolts. Weaker ones usually die before getting knocked out
One of the best mounts ive used. Fast strong and dedly just level stam and health
If you're looking to take a dependable tame cave dibing then this is for you. I've watched bears take down groups of carnivores with ease and they can also swim pretty well. It's a jack of all trades!
I say it will almost eat anything in its path for example a direbear lvl 80 attacked and broke my boat ballista and one shot me!
Normally, I'd never tame a Direbear, but now I am trying to find them because they are amazing for collecting Fiber. They are usually rare, and don't have enough HP, so use Tranq Darts and even Shock Darts if you have them, and then feed it a bit of Prime Meat, Fish or Normal. It works!
Use darts every time I have tried to knock it out it dies
This is a T-rex in disguise. Lure into taming pin and light up with tranq.
The dire bear is amazing hands down best land mount high weight high melee and there speed is amazing just tamed a 145 out to 216 with kib
Onr thing to note id it says they gathet eood and thatch but they dont
Easy tame, 4×4 stone pen with stone windows and a ramp on one side....use bird to kite it in and dart it....great tames
Use Tranq Darts and get it stuck up against the wall, if you want block it in with walls so it can't run then put spikes around it when it's down to deter predators
Wgen you want to tame a low level bear arrows with a crossbow are ok. But when you want a 100+ bear take darts and in primitive you need a good crosbow (200% melee or higher) to get him down. When you dont have this he will die all the time.
Use like 10 darts at first the u can use arrows but wait 5 seconds in between
