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.

FOR MOBILE PLAYERS!

1) Bite - Tap

2) Swipe - Swipe up

3) Stand and roar - Swipe down

One stone foundation and four stone door frames one ramp thank me later

Bears are perhaps the best bodyguards for protecting in-progress tames without needing to stick around and babysit the whole process. Their main advantage for this role (compared to other powerful tames) is that almost EVERYTHING aggros them, even the measly dilophosaur.

Station a few bears in strategic locations around your KO, then sit back and relax knowing that any predators that come by will attack - and promptly get demolished by - your bear brigade.

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

These things are MONSTERS! They can tear through caves as long as they can fit. On mobile I took him to the hunter cave and DEMOLISHED everything. They are also pretty good and chitin gathering. Just one sweep through the cave I got 1000+ chitin.

Tamed a couple max levels, breed them, leveled, bred some more, leveled more, mass breed for mutations, then got a 10/10 mutations 20 on melee and 20 on health for boss fights, named the original yogi, he slaughtered everything, then got killed instantly by the alpha ice Titan on fjordur

These things do NOT mess around. I’ve been killed with one or two swipes by a level 26, and I’m level 97 (I was wearing cloth armor, though). Then the dang bear murdered my newly tamed lavender Megatherium because I had put my tames on Passive before I tried to tame the Direbear. RIP Blossom T^T

Super easy to came just bring 10-20 prime meat (depends what level ur Dire is) the beast will get tamed up in less then 30 minutes. This beast gathers hide,fiber,berries,meat like it’s nothing. Hits like a mother trucker. Insane speed. Literally take this beats asap once you unlock its saddle.

Tame a high level (140-150) and go kill some alphas. My direbear is level 265, 33.4K health and 500% melee

Can't gather honey on crystal isles bee hives.

Can't be carried by crystal wyvern

Mine killed a Giga by biting its legs (it was imprinted, had 9.2k hp, mastercraft saddle and 800% dmg)

Guys you better tame it cuz it will make you become a pro bc it’s good for grinding herbs and meat bc I have one called hany he’s lvl 223 bc the owner of the server helped me to tame him so 1 like=1 love for hany :)

It can’t be caught in a Bear Trap but it can in a Large Bear Trap

Best utility mount after theri can gather meat and berries also this guy can get 1k weight and almost 900 melee with enough lvls I know this because my bear ( name is teddy the bear) is stronger than my 209 Rex

When it say 100% chance of death with your fist it means death for you not it

They have created many a murder scene for me: dead terror bird carcasses and a direbear walking away. No witnesses just a theory

Bears make an excellent mount for exploring caves. If you can get about 3 high level ones you and other tribemates can explore through most caves with ease. And if you were to get in trouble these bears can run at high speeds so you can escape most predators.

If your weapon gives a high chaceto kill in dododex, check for number of hits to flee. Shoot a few tranqs short of its flee value. Drop a couple of sleeping bags down, drop everything and jump in so that he can attack, kill, and most importantly eat you. If you respawn and your body is still there move towards him so his next bite eats your last body. This will heal him enough that you can now continue your KO without risk of it dying. Be sure to do this before he goes into flee mode because then he won’t attack you. Better still use longneck and darts but if you don’t have them unlocked yet, this method will always work.
