What are tips for dire bear? Tips and strategies for dire bear in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
After freshly taming 2 Rex’s with Bane (my Bary) and 3 favorite Dimo’s, I was on my way back to base and attacked one of these only around level 112 thinking I had plenty of backup with the Rex’s... Nope. Bane and I ran after everyone was destroyed around me... tamed him later from a cliff with my tranqs. He’s such a machine that I would do it all again. Named him Machine
They are almost guaranteed to die if your using a crossbow so I definitely recommend using tranq darts also when trapping try to do a 2x2 rather than a 1x2 as with a 1x2 they can glitch out the trap or sometimes not fit
Don't use crossbow, it will die
This is a warning to all
Do Not Kill This adorable teddy bear. Unless you wish to suffer the wrath of bear lovers everywhere.
If you have a quetzal you can pick him up and take him to somewhere safe. I recently found a lvl 150 direbear in the redwoods and it died while I was away getting food and got the idea to just use my quetzal. Also if you're on mobile you can do the hunt argentavis pursuit to get a quetzal saddle for free.
If you find your self in a fight with a dire bear be careful they are strong and faster than you unless you trained for the marathon then you will have to fight it
My lvl 80 Thylacoleo with 1800 health and 300% melee damage got attacked by a Direbear and my Thylacoleo got killed pretty fast. These guys are a killing machine. RIP My cat :(
These guys camped the exits to the cave I was in and I only had a bow bruh
best early tame on aberration great combat and harvesting tame
No-one really uses these- they are so underrated. I’m planning on taming a few as my terrestrial tanks. Tbh, I’m surprised something with this much power is so looked over
Please make these able to be ridden in all the caves!
