Consider them as if they are a real life bear...

Bring a owl if you are taming the bear. You can heal it when it’s health are low

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.

THESE THINGS ARE AMAZING!!!!!! They are a little hard to tame but once you do they are so worth it they are extremely fast, extremely powerful and tough useful even out of combat when gathering honey and can insulate you in the snow or heat and allow for more travel, besides it’s a giant cuddly bear, you know you want it.

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 like a train the more they move the more speed they can get

Don't use crossbow, it will die

In my opinion bears are one of the fastest land aminals in ark mobile

This is a warning to all

Do Not Kill This adorable teddy bear. Unless you wish to suffer the wrath of bear lovers everywhere.

Why won't the dire bear that I'm using collect organic polymer?

Has about the same damage as a Rex, but only a fraction of the health. It makes up for this with better carry weight, speed, and stamina. The best all around mount in the game in my opinion.

The best poly Farmer for Aberation

Tamed a high level one on aberration and she shreds everything. A very good tame for Abberation when you get one. Great fiber gatherer and a good honey gatherer. Overall a very good tame on any maps on which they spawn

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 :(

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

best early tame on aberration great combat and harvesting tame

These guys camped the exits to the cave I was in and I only had a bow bruh

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^)/

When tamed any meat (and maybe more) put in his inventory has a longer spoil time.

Tranq it get meat and if your lucky it’s still there if it’s not either it’s not there or it got eaten by terror birds carnos and an allosaurus
