Tips & Strategies
Dire Bears are honestly my favorite Dino in ark. It is all around amazing for anything you need. It can get meat, prime meat, berries, and even fiber. It's good for fights due to the amazing amounts of damage it can do. This thing is also great for transporting over long distances because of how extremely fast it is. I have about 10 Dire Bears because of how helpful they are to me as my tribe. This is a must have

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 he’s beautiful; black on top and white on bottom. I am really wanting to breed them…but I’m worried about what things it’ll need though. So I gotta hope and pray that it doesn’t want something crazy. Wish me the best of luck everyone!!!
USE DARTS, arrows will usually kill it before it knocks out
A 3x3 and 1x door frames all round and you’ve got a good trap if you can try and feed it a dead body
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 :)

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.
Build a 2x2 stone trap with single doorframes surrounding it with ramps/stairs coming down from the top of it, lure it into the trap (use a slingshot to lure it), knock it out (preferably with tranq or anything higher in the engram), if health is too low, kill anything nearby and drag the dead body to the bear to get it’s health back up.
Make sure to prepare your 100+ narcotics and honey pot, mutton (if on Aberration kill all those Ovis mwahahah) or prime meat before and during taming (if you do not have any, use regular meat it’ll just take longer), remember the higher the level the longer and more resources it takes to tame it.
Meanwhile kill every carnivorous creatures around it to ensure its safety. (I usually make cryopod so I don’t have to destroy the structure once it is tamed to cryo the bear to reuse the trap)
Now you have a medium sized tank tamed to get honey or to assist in taming giant queen bees, hope this helps for those who are new at taming, happy taming everyone! \(^o^)/

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.

Get on a rock or die
If you on mobile and meet it at 200 Or more (hard or brutal) don’t 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)
