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

Only large bear traps work I learnt that the hard way

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

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.

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

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

Please make these able to be ridden in all the caves!

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

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

DO NOT MESS WITH THEESE. They can easily take out Carnos I littarly saw like two take out a carno in like two seconds. They live in the red wood forest so make sure you make a tree base so they don’t tear you to shreds in less than a second. Make sure you have amazing health and make sure you have op gear before you even take one of theese on

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.

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

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

For taming a dire Bear I would recommend you get on a rock

One time I was going pelt hunting in the redwoods ( I’m to lazy to fly to the cold biome) and I went to attack 2 bears and I noticed I was out of stam so I was like “oh I’ll just land and I’ll let the bears beat on me for a bit” And then the two mate boosted max level bears said “ say hi to the purlovia on your walk home!” Don’t mess with boosted max bears

Unless you have a very powerful character/mount, I would suggest to keep a good distance away from these magnificent beasts. They have a surprisingly small aggro range, but their melee damage is IMMENSE, and can kill even high level mounts with relative ease. It is honestly best to just leave them alone, as they don't even give that many resources when you harvest them, and you can easily lose an extremely valuable tame. Take it from me: I've lost two amazing wolves to these beasts, once from inexperience, once from being unable to escape due to having no stamina.

Apparently, the BEAR TRAP doesn't work for the frickin BEAR??????!?!?!??!!?!?!?

LARGE BEAR TRAP GUYS those work

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.
