What are tips for dire bear? Tips and strategies for dire bear in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Best animal in the game. (Rather than kapro because kaprosuchus is life) Dire bears collect fiber like crazy, berries like a pro and can take on low level alpha rexes.
if you want to tame one easily, heres a good tip:
if your starting off, the best place go find these guys are in the redwoods. Stay within a level 10-30 if your beginning. 40+ can be for intermediate, or if you've tamed one before.
Id suggest using the rifle with darts or the shocking darts as its easier and takes less time (you can also use a compund bow and the toxicant arrows).
start by taking 4 metal foundations, and placing them into a square formation (2x2), then take 6 NORMAL (not double) doorframes and placing them on each side, leave one side open. Then place a metal dino gate on that one side with a door.
Then, find your direbare and use a small tame like a raptor or terror bird, or an animal that can jump (bary, iguanodon, etc.) and jump over or go through the little doorway that youve placed. The start tranqing the bear.
Hope this helped! :)
These things are AWESOME!! They carry a ton of weight, have a ton of stamina, don’t have the best health at low level, but best of all is their attack damage! These things hit harder than a Rex! Was in the northern winter area on The Island and I killed 2 Rex and THEN killed a pack of 5 dire wolves, not to mention the countless argies, and all without her losing half her life.
To tame one of these monsters you have to use darts and not arrows because they have low health and it will just kill it but be very careful because they are speedy and do lots of damage
Arrow kill bear
Toxicant knock out rex
Me wondering why ppl spamming tranq darts so they can knock out;-;
I prefer using toxicant bc it is cheaper by a lot
For toxicant arrows get:
Stone arrow (1)
Polymer(2)
Bio toxin (10)
You might need 10 toxicant arrows to knock one out
There is ur answer to that
If you have decent armor and decent movement speed, find a hive, grab some honey, drop your butt and run. Tamed a 145 dire bear in no time with just 1 hive. (May have been 2x taming event though) or drop a bed nearby and if you get bee’d to death just spawn back in and grab the honey off your body. I don’t think the bees stay aggro. I wouldn’t use arrows, mr bear got pretty bloody even using darts.
Soo the babies for these guys go through food really fast & I didn't know this until it died on me...soo make sure your constantly shoving food into its inventory since the babies dont eat from troughs..rip my first dirbear babdy
I used mejoberries to tame it.I know it wasn't the best choice but had soothing balm. Soon it was tamed!!! I named it Teddy.I rode teddy using the saddle and Teddy is very strong.i like dire bears they look awesome!
Where can I find it. Where is it Located
If you do t have rifle and darts take xbow and owl to heal the bear when knocking it out
