For everyone complaining that bear traps don’t work on this creature, this bear is much larger than a bear today. As the description reads “Immobilizes humans and SMALL creatures” there is a giant bear trap you can use for bigger creatures. - Apollyon

This is a bear. Why isn’t it able to be bear trapped?!

Hello people of ark I have a short Tip about the DireBear

This thing is a killer if tamed or not tamed

Breed this thing and u can use it in boss fights or in general pvp

A bear can beat a rex if bred good enough

U may want to get ur hands on one of these

Make a 4x2 taming pen with window frames 2 ramps then u lure the bear inside I recommend u use tranq darts arrows will kill it, but if u play prim+ u have no other choise

If u play primitive+ use arrows and when the bear is bloody and still attacking the walls drag a corpse of a Dino or player to it wait 5 seconds after it eats the corpse then shoot it with ur tranqs

If it’s unconscious u put mutton in its inventory since it tames better and same effect as kibble

After its tamed u can get fiber with it as well

Its also verry fast don’t put its lvls into speed only melee stam and hp

I hope u found this helpful if u did make sure to like it so more people notice it

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:/

You would have a better chance of living after getting hit by a freight train than getting bit by a dire bear.

Bear trap might not work but LARGE bear trap does.

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

Dire bears are OP if you can tame one, there heavy attack does mass amounts of damage. They are the best early game Dino.

Only large bear traps work I learnt that the hard way
