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?!

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

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

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:/

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

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

This ahole chased me down a bridge a cliff a waterfall he just didn’t give up he’s crazy don’t get close to em or else ya dead

Bear trap might not work but LARGE bear trap does.

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

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

Only large bear traps work I learnt that the hard way

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.

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.

THESE GUYS HIT LIKES SMALL ISLANDS. Mine was able to kill a pack of Lvl 100 to 195 allasaurs

Find some at red woods bears are good

(Hear there growls you dead XD jk)

89%100

So ya

Bear traps works on bears but this one is dire you'll need a large bear trap

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
