Direbear have little health compared to torpor. Keep a few tamed dodos at your ramp trap. When you've shot the bear enough for it to be bloody, throw in a dodo. It will instantly kill and eat it and start regenerating health. Give it a moment or two and continue darting. Happy hunting!

These guys can run up to really fast speeds when agro. When tamed they are AMAZING berrie and fibre collectors. Really powerful, a low level bear could easily take on a low level Rex.

To reduce chance of killing it while trying to knock it out is by shooting with a primitive crossbow without delay until it starts to show blood then switch to a regular bow and then space shots 7 seconds apart - works every time for me no matter the level

Anyone else think they should have a weight reduction on honey 🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯

The paw smack collects more prime meat and the bite attack collects more hide

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

If you tamed it you can go and get free huny without damaging

A high level can easily take down Alpha Carno's. It's perfect for taming other animals since it can collect both berries and prime meat. It can go through the central cave and is a highly speedy mount with good carry weight. It's also cuddly.

Only the large bear trap workd because he ate too much McDonald's

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:/

A level 1 direbear can do around 100 damage and we are talking about a wild one, a tamed one can do up to 150 damage, they are like therizino, expect direbear’s base health is very low, a level one wild dire bear has only 400 health

Do not mess up with them when you are low...

They are SOOO strong!!!!

Paint it yellow and the back legs red and call it winnie the poo

If you on mobile and meet it at 200 Or more (hard or brutal) don’t be happy because i was. The topor too much and heath is litte so . If you want tame him at high lv( watch his heath).( my english is bad)

Really fast and has proven to match a Rex so in my opinion the deadliest land mount besides the giga

Probably the most versatile land creature. Can eat berries and meat. Hard to tame unless you use DARTS or a SNOW OWL to heal it during tranq arrow-ing it with a x-bow.

Probably best to put HP>Dmg. These things are trucks but don't get to cocky.

You wont be able to knockout a high level direbear 400+ using tranq arrows in a crossbow instead use longneck rifle with tranq darts but the darts are only craftable in level 62.

(for Mobile)

The dire polar bear on Ragnarok ASA appears to be untamable as of July 11, 2025

Why is this not affected by bear trap?

While regular beartraps do not work, LARGE ones do.

Place the traps in a line and scatter some in the surrounding area, then line up the bear to parallel with the trap line, and start shooting tranqs.

This will cause them to slowly work their way through the traps, and all you need to do is keep shooting.

If it gets down to the last trap, hop on an Argentavis and fly high up, then away to a base (I find they will follow you very far).
