For everyone complaining that bear traps don’t work on this creature, this bear is much larger than a bear today. As the description reads “Immobilizes humans and SMALL creatures” there is a giant bear trap you can use for bigger creatures. - Apollyon

This is a bear. Why isn’t it able to be bear trapped?!

You would have a better chance of living after getting hit by a freight train than getting bit by a dire bear.

Hello people of ark I have a short Tip about the DireBear

This thing is a killer if tamed or not tamed

Breed this thing and u can use it in boss fights or in general pvp

A bear can beat a rex if bred good enough

U may want to get ur hands on one of these

Make a 4x2 taming pen with window frames 2 ramps then u lure the bear inside I recommend u use tranq darts arrows will kill it, but if u play prim+ u have no other choise

If u play primitive+ use arrows and when the bear is bloody and still attacking the walls drag a corpse of a Dino or player to it wait 5 seconds after it eats the corpse then shoot it with ur tranqs

If it’s unconscious u put mutton in its inventory since it tames better and same effect as kibble

After its tamed u can get fiber with it as well

Its also verry fast don’t put its lvls into speed only melee stam and hp

I hope u found this helpful if u did make sure to like it so more people notice it

I like the dire bear in the wild. why? It's because it's not crazy and goes and kills everything in its path(raptors/terrorbirds you pests)just dont go near it.They will be mad but overall it's great.Too bad there are no bees is ark mobile:/

When running from one don't run in a straight line they get faster the longer they run so try to go through a heavily wooded area since it will hit the trees and it will its speed will reset

A level 18 bear two shotted me while i was taming a galimimus and i was wearing flak armor YEP ITS THAT OP (i was at full hp)

Bear trap might not work but LARGE bear trap does.

Gotta love how a pursuit on mobile is for you to make bear traps to hunt 2 of these guys, and they aren't even affected by bear traps XD

This little guy killed my Rex, spino, and bary because they were all on passive. Tip: Don't leave your Dino's on passive in the redwoods.

Only large bear traps work I learnt that the hard way

I just found a dire polar bear on ragnarok in the ice biome

Dire bears are OP if you can tame one, there heavy attack does mass amounts of damage. They are the best early game Dino.

Everyone shut up about the bear traps the large bear traps work

Very powerful creature will destroy your armor and hunt you down if aggro...if other bears in area they will also attack , they are territorial so keep your distance.

Your unfortunate encounter with them is their fortunate dinner with you

This is a warning to all

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

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 :(

Beasts can crush anything you will run in to definitely tame one

There is a polar bear type that can be found in the cave. YOU CANNOT tame them. But in ragnarok you can find Polar Dire Bear that are tameable. Or atleast on the server used.
