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

Large bear trap doesent work... why you lie? I almost died jumping around the bear trap trying to get a level 140. Plez fix

Great tame, even better if breed up. Descent all around. Worth the time imo. Not sure if the taunt when the bear stands and growls does anything but would be nice if it does.

Big con for me was that the bear sucks at swimming.

This thing is a BEAST
it collects fiber for days
a TRex with fur

Riding them gives you hypothermic and hyperthermic insulation. Like an otter.

Even low levels are useful too, tame a low level if you can’t find a high level and go on a killing spree and watch how much destruction they can do. Pump up health and melee

If you use normal tranquilizer arrows, the situation can get very... dire.

Craft 2 Stone Foundations Then Craft 6 Stone Doorframes And Craft 2 Wood Ramps (You Can Make Stone Ramps If You Want To) Boom You Made Your Trap Now Lead It In To The Trap Iguanodons Are A Good Pick To Lead It Into The Trap Or On Foot But I Would Recommended Make A Sleeping Bag If Your Doing It On Foot Just In Case Because They Pack A Huge Punch Then Don't Use Crossbows Or You Have A Huge Chance To Kill It! Saddle Is Crafted In Your Inventory

dont attack this unless you are a pro.a level 44 dire bear clapped my lvl 164 carbonemys

Very powerful creature will destroy your armor and hunt you down if aggro...if other bears in area they will also attack , they are territorial so keep your distance.

Just use honey to tame them, all you have to do is grapple a couple bee hives for a high level, alpha killing, beast

This was a challenging tame. You either outrun the bear and he stops chasing you before you get in the dino trap or he catches you and eats you. I definitely recommend shooting it from far distance then running. I also recommend getting a friend to help you as they can be bait. It's a tame I recommend though!

You see this run da da da da daaaa

The dex here is wrong about how much narcotics youll need bring more

Dire bears have the same base torpor and torpor gain per level as an allosaurus, meaning darts are almost a requirement (unless of course narco traps are utilised). To put this in perspective, Allos have 63% more base health than a dire bear and gain more health per level, and even with a lvl 150 allo there is still a 1.5% chance that they’ll die for a 100% damage Crossbow. In summary, use darts, it makes it a hell of a lot easier.

Consider them as if they are a real life bear...

For me, Dire Bears are one of the useful and greatest mounts because they have pretty awesome damage, they are fast, They can gather both berries and meat and also fibers too! Dire bears are also one of the best mount on some caves(Other than dire wolves)

You can feed a Dino body to the bear to regenerate the bears health. This will intern decrease the chance of death of you are using tranq arrows

Try using soothing balm thats a good trick

Bear traps works on bears but this one is dire you'll need a large bear trap
