What are tips for dire bear? Tips and strategies for dire bear in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
How to tame on of these :
I recommend using a trap since they run pretty fast and possibly into something dangerous. So let's go!
Step 1: Bring around 100 TranqArrows. Should be enough, depending on the level and your aim :'). Also make sure to bring something to keep him sleeping, depending on your settings.
Step 2: The trap. The basic 4 stone foundations, 8 doorframes and 2 stairs. You build 2x2 fountains and put all doorframes on it. Then build the stairs so you can walk on it.
Step 3 : Find a Freddy Fazbear you like to tame.
Step 4: Build the trap near your bear.
Step 5: Shoot the bear and lure him into the trap.
Step 6: Shoot it SLOWLY. It hasn't got much health and TranqArrows do 'a lot of damage'. Wait like a minute for each shoot when it starts bleeding.
Step 7: Feed it when it's knocked out. It eats kibble, meat, honey and berries.
Step 8: Have fun with your tame :)

With such a low breed timer and they're alternate swing being the same damage as a Rex they make ideal breeding and are great for meat runs very fast and have huge carry weights. A very good tame one of the best in my opinion
Agro the bear then place a bear trap A BIG ONE. Then trap it with metal bill boards and start using tranq darts to knock it out
Aww a cute level 2, I'm level 70, I can take it.
10 seconds later.
Oh god! Arrghhh
quits game.
Tip- the higher the level the better
I found a level 150 (max level on the server i play on)
I built a small trap so i could knock it out safely.
Used tranq arrows and a snow owl to heal them as i knocked them out
Only took 7 honey to tame them up with 100% effectiveness (the server is 3x so keep that in mind)
Trap i used- 4 stone foundations, 8 stone door frames, 6 stone fences, and two stone stairs
Hope this helped someone :)
Do not mess up with them when you are low...
They are SOOO strong!
1. shoot it with tranq arrows
2. gather raw or raw prime meat if you don't have them
3. Return to the place where you knocked it down just to see it get eaten by terror birds ane carnos.
High level bears in Ragnarok ice cave can't be tamed. I used heaps of darts to knock out a lvl 300 only for it to not eat my honey >:(
the amount of dinos i've seen go against wild versions of thia thing is insane. yet 70% of the time, dire bears come out on top. i've seen them beat gigantopithecus, terror birds, and carnotaurus.
