Tips & Strategies
ASE build a basic box trap and lure them in. Use Tranq darts if not you'll probably kill it. If using a crossbow place a couple beds by the trap. Use the calculator to see how many hits before it runs and strip and let it kill and eat your corpse before then to refill it's HP. Then you can start using the crossbow. Use honey if you can't use kibble

BEAR trap does not work on him
If you guys are wanting to have a really strong tank of a Dino, then definitely get a direbear. I have a level 67 bear and she is an absolute unit!!! She has 2,064 hp and she has over 300% melee damage, and she is my beloved baby. I have found a max level male bear in the redwoods and heβs beautiful; black on top and white on bottom. I am really wanting to breed themβ¦but Iβm worried about what things itβll need though. So I gotta hope and pray that it doesnβt want something crazy. Wish me the best of luck everyone!!!
USE DARTS, arrows will usually kill it before it knocks out
If you on mobile and meet it at 200 Or more (hard or brutal) donβt 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)
If you want to knock it out with a crossbow, shoot it until it gets low then feed it a dead body of any dinosaur. This will make it get all of its health back allowing you to knock it out without killing it.
These things are absolute beasts, they do insane damage, grind like a boss, and gain momentum while sprinting, to tame these, get a mount which allows rider weaponry and invest decent amount of health in it. Then let it aggro on you and start tranquilizing them ( rifle advised since x-bow may kill it ).
Its torpor run isn't that annoying so just knock it, feed it, then wreck the island's almost every bit( gigas and titans are exceptions ). Up if this helped.
To make honey last practically forever, make a fishing rod and equip honey, that is about to spoil, to the fishing rod, then un-equip it. It should refresh the spoil timer. Does not work with leech blood. Tested on PS4.

Hey hey booboo, I got me a picnic basket - if you know this everyone loves you
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!
