İf you tame a direbear u can beat t-rex
Direbears are deadly when aggro'd so try to trap them in a ramp box. Use darts, as even an ascendant crossbow will porobably kill them. Great for carrying weight, crossing distances, and gathering fiber, meat, and berries.
In my eyes a lot of peeps don’t talk about this amazing sugar addicted bear and trust me when I say it’s worth it because u can run around on carnivore island and cause a blood bath.In a summary it is a mid game there lvl 30-50
Direbear has no pause time between hits. The attack has no push back on its end no matter the level. Just think of it as non-stop hit for hit if you're cornered. End result death. But can be avoided because Agro circle is very small (3 foot away from direbear will be its agro circle.) making it easy for a head start run in case you try to tame.
To tame a lvl 100+ you cannot use tranq arrows as it'll die but still the torpor will not increase fully... you need a lot of tranq darts...say like 50 for a lvl 120 bear... need a soothing balm and some prime or raw meat... I will suggest to put 3 stone pillars on each other and add wooden ladders... lure the bear (or you can also make the structure near the bear, as it only agros if you go too close to it) and get on the pillars...start shooting...This part is easy, but the knockout part is tricky, cuz the bear will run when it's torpor is high and believe me it runs really fast, make sure you don't lose it and keep shooting tranq darts...also make sure you have already killed any carnos and terror birds around...
But all your hardwork will pay...
I have a lvl 200 bear and i wiped the entire population of redwood. :)
If they start to run after a first few shots stay where you are and stay on a rock or somewhere it can't get you it will deal massive damage I lost a lv 129 baryonyx to a level 50 run in a zig zag it gains speed faster it runs straight
Don't keep on looking for that level 150 bear settle for a LVL 100 or higher than get an explorer note bonus and knock down trees to get LOTS OF LEVELS
it'll be your best friend
On mobile
Step one.get large bear trap
Step two.schoot it with tranq darts till its knocked out
Step three.use honey with smoothing balm
And boom you just got youreself a bear with 1 honey hope this helps all of you good luck
Craft 2 Stone Foundations Then Craft 6 Stone Doorframes And Craft 2 Wood Ramps (You Can Make Stone Ramps If You Want To) Boom You Made Your Trap Now Lead It In To The Trap Iguanodons Are A Good Pick To Lead It Into The Trap Or On Foot But I Would Recommended Make A Sleeping Bag If Your Doing It On Foot Just In Case Because They Pack A Huge Punch Then Don't Use Crossbows Or You Have A Huge Chance To Kill It! Saddle Is Crafted In Your Inventory
YOU CAN USE ARROWS, make sure to bring a dead corpse in trap and force him to hit you and the corpse and this will heal the bear, allowing you to continue shooting tranq arrows
You can either make a stone pen with a ramp and a door way then lead the bear up the ramp into the pen and you can escape through the door, or you can just find a clif or rock the bear can't climb and tranq it from a safe distance.
Some useful taming info
I used a argy trap, but there are better traps.
I did that because I was taming a argy.
I can’t remember if this can eat anything other than honey.
But honey is good for taming one of these Bears.
They are strong, if you tame a high level, they are very strong.
Get a imprinted one, that would do some good damage.
Seen in the redwoods and snow for the newest players.
That’s all for now!

Rescue Mount - Speed: (Gallimimus+Trike=DireBear)
- You’ve just been ripped off your saddle and your favorite tame is in trouble.. you need to get there NOW. Keep one of these hitched with spare gear.
- Their sprint is like a Locomotive Engine: Takes a sec to get going, but Holy F- do they move at top speed and has stamina for days. Roars in like a Semi-Truck to slap silly anything that dared threaten your fav tame.
- Find a Low-lvl and tame with Meat or Prime. Use it to get Honey, then tame your High-lvl.
I just found a dire polar bear on ragnarok in the ice biome
If you want to use bear traps , use large ones, and make a line of a couple as these boys are so damn strong they actually may break a few of them trying to get you as you traq them!
