One of the easiest passive tames besides the giga! :)

Dire bear don't care

If you are looking for new ways to take on Death Worms or Alpha Death Worms in scorched earth, two perfect Direbear tames are beast against them. Just level up health and melee.

They are strong and fast I love um

Ideal gathering animal as it gathers berries, meat, hide, wood, and fiber in large quantities. It can attack while running and its attack and speed are very high.

It’s very very powerful, i am in a casual easy, since I have started the game about a month ago, and I found a lvl 27 880 health, and creatures in this server RARELY pass level 30 in the wild, after I tamed it by starving it for 600 food( it had 3300 food ) I feed it prime meat, that I got from paraceratherium with my argy. After tame it became lvl 40 1040 health, an absolute monster, with 8k weight, I just 1 taped a 221 health gilli WOW! Just WOW!!!

Amazing starting tame. Start in center redwoods, get some metal going, maybe a pt. Build maybe 3 grapples, a crossy, and make a pit-fall trap. I’ve done a 2 stone foundation with stone gateways and 4 Ramos. LISTEN! When you ko a bear, you could / should use HLNA or a magnifying glass. Shoot the bear about 12 (8 to be safe) and feed yourself and make sure it eats your body every time. You don’t need to waste hours on a longneck with like 45 tranqs. You only need about 70~(if you miss or arks stupid registration) for one.

Idk why everyone says tranq arrows kill it, I used tranq darts on a lvl 27 and I knocked it with 163 remaining health

this, this os a great fighter for early

i have tamed one lvl 16 and now she's lvl 35,

hes can run fast

great claw

can Harvest prime, fiber

great weight

also little tanky

y'all should get one

Even though it has 3.7 stars for berries, which is below a stego, a stego is a much better berry farmer. Stegos can get up to 75 berries per a bush (2x), while bears can only get 50-60 (2x). Still a good berry gatherer but a better Rex substitute than a berry farmer.

Look out for the Direbears, they’re like regular bears... but dire

AXES SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE THROWN! “Share” if u think this is a good idea.

Bear traps won’t work so build like a stone trap from it

You can not tame bears living in caves!!!

Use a tapejara or pteranadon or quetz to put it in a 4x4 stone cage with normal stone doorframes as walls. Make sure it's two walls high.

Level 230 and up bears are almost invisible. Except chickens... Don't fight chickens.

The best thing I've ever had despite owning nine gigas they collect about 10k fiver in under a minute. They are also amazing for berries and meat. My 150 kibble tame bear could has taken 4 rexes on at once and barely lost 1k health they can 1 hit carnos with high mellee (400-500) and are perfect for taming as can keep u warm in cold and gather berries and meat .They can reach high speeds (quicker then a giga) so u can deliver prime to a tame easy as well. They also have about 1k weight at high levels so u can carry a lot on u.

Build a stone trap use 1 foundation 1 doorframe and 3 walls. Place large bear trap on foundation. Shoot bear with dart and start running. It will get into the box but can't escape giving you enough time to place a wall on the other end. Then start tranqing. Make sure to put up spike walls around you

Unless you have a very powerful character/mount, I would suggest to keep a good distance away from these magnificent beasts. They have a surprisingly small aggro range, but their melee damage is IMMENSE, and can kill even high level mounts with relative ease. It is honestly best to just leave them alone, as they don't even give that many resources when you harvest them, and you can easily lose an extremely valuable tame. Take it from me: I've lost two amazing wolves to these beasts, once from inexperience, once from being unable to escape due to having no stamina.

Prim +. Try using honey for a super quick tame
