ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Dire Bears are one of the best mid-size mounts out there. They can harvest berries, fiber, thatch, hide, and meat very well. The swipe attack has a great AOE, which makes them great against swarms of enemies. They also provide a thermal buff that keeps you warm in cold climates. Their relatively small size, strong attacks, and thermal buff make them (in my humble opinion) one of the best mounts for cold caves, especially the large ice cave on the center. A very versatile mount, great for practically any role you want for it.
