Just don't get within 10 foundations of it and u will be ok.

If using a taming pen, be mindful of how much punishment your pen can take if made out of wood, its large aoe can hit above it as well.

To collect honey with this do you just attack a bee hive? I want to be sure so I don’t die. -Diligent Octopus

These guys are super underrated. If you can get an imprinted one, in my experience they’re as good as an unimprinted spino.

Really easy way to trap them:

Build a stone foundation, put stone doorways on all sides, and then put a ramp on one of the doorways. Get close to get them to draw their aggro, then run up the ramp and run through the trap. Traps them really well.

DONT USE NARCOTIC ARROWS! They have pretty bad health to torpor ratio so they need tranq darts.

Mutton or honey is best, but prime can be good too.

Make sure to keep them asleep. They wake up pretty fast.

They have about the same weight as a dino with 80k health, that's crazy

I do rocemmend I put almost all the level stats into health so it’s a tank and farming to

(Mobile) So this is going to be unpopular but I'll say my thoughts: The direbear is not a tame I would recommend. At least not on high lvs. Reasons:

1. It's not that easy to take down and tame, it's got a high amount of torpor, high torpor drain and extreme topor/health ratio. If you play on any difficulty higher than lv 30s and wield a bow/crossbow, chances are you'll kill the bear before it falls asleep. I'm assuming you're relying on rocks and high cliffs for knockout because if you use a tame to bait the bear chances are it'll be heavily injured or worse by the time the bear starts fleeing. Plus, the redwoods isn't exactly the most friendly zone for taming, especially when you're taming something that literally every carnivore aggros on.

2. It's not as useful as some may say. (Again, mobile.) It has good damage, health, dps and speed, but they're nothing special. At low lv a wild theriz can three-shot a direbear at the same lv, at higher lvs Direbears are too difficult to tame early on without tranq darts or tox arrows. By the time you acquire a good longneck (tribute from strong artifact should be quickest) and unlock tranq darts, you should already be able to move on to tame therizs and spinos, who are more efficient specialists that can do everything a direbear can. (Theriz for health, flowers, and fiber. Spino for meat, travel and dps)

3. It's small. It has a somewhat small attack range, but it's body registration is large, large enough to prevent access to most caves. (nope cryopod isn't a thing on mobile) You may get stuck between rocks or trees while traveling, and large carnivores can easily damage you before you get in range to attack them.

It does have a saving grace in the form of its considerable weight. The closest midgame creature I can think of is the notoriously slow argentavis, and the direbear can act as a far quicker and more combat ready mount than the bird. However, most often argentavis is only used either for its weight reduction or alongside an ankylo. Neither of which the direbear can beat. So, yeah. If the direbear had, say 20% less torpor, none of these would be an issue, and it would be one of the best tames in game no joke. But because of its high torpor and (relatively) low health, it's really not necessary or even rewarding to tame.

If you don't have tranq darts you can use toxicant arrow

Whoever rated this thing to be good at organic polymer clearly doesn't know they can't even gather it...

When taming build a trap terror birds always kill them just make sure the bear is safe

In mobile, the Direbear can break a Metal Sign

Easy enough to tame, find ing one is the difficult part. I suggest bringing a bigger and bulkier animal to take hits from this thing while the other player just tranquilizers it. If only one player, grabber onto tree without anything in it and shoot tranquilizers. They either take honey or prime meat. When it’s down PROTECT IT!!

I killed two of these furry giants and got 43 pelt!

Should have more health wildcard

It cannot damage stone, so try to build stone trap and shoot darts, trank arrows kill it before knockout, have it tamed and be disappointed.

Can someone tell me where these guys live on vagaro just write it in the tips.

Does anybody know if you can Tame a polar bear on fjordur

If you’re trying to get chitin or keratin for the saddle kill pulmos they drop around 220 chitin kill 2 and you got your self 100 cementing paste. Don’t try kill carbons for 40 keratin.

Just use an average trap to get these it will work believe me.

Great speed High damage PERFECT weight

But maybe underrated
