ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These are AMAZING! From (admittedly limited) experience, they can gather 200+ honey from a single beehive in less than a minute at the cost of destroying the hive, but it's absolutely worth it. Also, they can help protect their rider from bees. They can take out attacking bees very fast. LMB to attack, RMB to gather. RMB also does damage to other creatures but will not damage the hive.
PS: If you have access to a Quetzal with a platform saddle, you can use that to help the bear get access to more hives and as a result get more honey. I did it and now have thousands of honey. Also, they eat both berries and meat and will eat those before eating the precious honey.
More Direbear Utility Tips
In the new update they can collect double the honey from beehives and the bees don't damage the bear. P's they're also getting a new model
Faster than a giga, strong as a rex, with some levels can get to 1k carry, can gather and eat both berries and meat,can even gather fiber, if you tame a high level one you have a super gathering and combat mount. Unmatched in utility.
Every dino you must have
Anky the living pickaxe (metal, obsidian)
Doedicurus the living axe (stone mostly)
Dire bear the living sickle (fiber, that pretty much it)
Argy the litteral cargo on ark (litterly lots of weight reduction)
Castoroides the ark lumberjack (woods)
Trike the soil master (tatch, berries)
Dire wolf the living tannery (hde, pelt, chitin)
Tyranosaurus rex the ark butcher (meat, prime meat, mutton)
Tame 3, paint one brown, one white,β one like a panda, and boom you got icy grizz and panpan
Their level up animation is the cutestπ€
With the tamed dire bear they can kill alphas (Carnos,raptors) my 123 lvl dire bear was able to kill an alpha raptor lvl 72. They make great companions and their babies are cute
Due to it's large aoe bite and low knock back it is ideal for hunting for leech blood in swamps

Hits like a Mac truck, more damage than a rex, easily 8k hp, super fast, LOTS of weight, awesome stam, great attack speed, gathers meat, berries, and fiber, super easy to tame, cheap saddle, pretty much a cheap theri that hits like a rex, fast as a galli, and has quetz weight. Iβm pretty much just waiting for a nerf.
The paw smack collects more prime meat and the bite attack collects more hide
