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

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.

If the dire bear is to strong just build a 6 stone foundation, 10 stone walls and a ramp. Then just attract the bear and run into the thing, you need a lot of tranq arrows or darts (maybe 95) attach them on your bow and shoot, until it's knocked down feed it raw mutton, giant bee honey, prime meat or superior kibble then bam! Free winnie the pooh. Make sure to delete ramp so nothing can go in the pit and attack it while it's down.

Get on a rock or die

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.

Hey hey booboo, I got me a picnic basket - if you know this everyone loves you

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)

Direbear have little health compared to torpor. Keep a few tamed dodos at your ramp trap. When you've shot the bear enough for it to be bloody, throw in a dodo. It will instantly kill and eat it and start regenerating health. Give it a moment or two and continue darting. Happy hunting!
