Get some one to hold it with a quetzul and someone else to shot it with traq darts so no one takes damage.

Easiest to K.O. If you build a small pen and trap him. Because of how easy it is to kill them, I found great success in knocking out a Dino (phiomas/parasaurs) out first, and dropping the bear next to them. Start tranqing the bear and sit behind the other knocked out Dino. When he attacks you he will kill and eat the other one restoring a good deal of Health and you don't even have to worry about killing him.

Dire Bears can be easily killed while be tranquilized, so it is best to utilize narcotic traps for easy taming. Just use dododex to see the amount of torpor the Dire Bear has. One set (2 traps) does 240 torpor so put down enough to raise its torpor so you can knock it out with one or two tranquilizer arrows. Make sure not to knock it out with the trap as you won't be able to tame it.

Carry with Wyvern and put it in a stone taming pen, that way it is a bit easier

To knock a bear out, I recommend darts. (Level 34 I think) and a longneck rifle. Shoot it about 5 times, that should work. Then feed it raw meat. It's encountered in the redwood forests in Island. Be careful, they do pack a punch. Make sure you get on a rock.

On primitive+ make a stone pillar trap and as much as possible narco trapwire and use Magnifying Glass during the finishing with arrows to be sure to not kill the beast, be careful because lot of chance of killing

Honey dos not work for taming

I tellin u should get low levels they have better torpor and are still strong also one the snow biome they are to much don’t tame there also I’m in mobile

Lead it into a tampering pen and watch it’s health it torpor is higher than its health also this thing can and will eat berries as well as honey and meat you can use tranq arrows but I suggest darts credit to Phlinger Phoo check out his ark basics on the DireBear on YouTube up this to support Plinger Phoo so noobs can learn how to tame in ark and to support his channel

add posin wyvern to chart up vote if argee

My dire Bear is level 189 and is so powerful it easily killed an alpha Rex level 78 Amazing for base defence

My tip? Down a Direbear. Tame the Direbear. Love your Direbear. Must have,all round excellent creature!

By far most versatile Dino in the game. Best metal gathered you can get if you don't have a quetz. My dire bear has over 3k metal and it's quick to get back to my base

One of the easiest passive tames besides the giga! :)

Dire bear don't care

Bear traps won’t work so build like a stone trap from it

You can not tame bears living in caves!!!

Amazing starting tame. Start in center redwoods, get some metal going, maybe a pt. Build maybe 3 grapples, a crossy, and make a pit-fall trap. I’ve done a 2 stone foundation with stone gateways and 4 Ramos. LISTEN! When you ko a bear, you could / should use HLNA or a magnifying glass. Shoot the bear about 12 (8 to be safe) and feed yourself and make sure it eats your body every time. You don’t need to waste hours on a longneck with like 45 tranqs. You only need about 70~(if you miss or arks stupid registration) for one.

Idk why everyone says tranq arrows kill it, I used tranq darts on a lvl 27 and I knocked it with 163 remaining health

this, this os a great fighter for early

i have tamed one lvl 16 and now she's lvl 35,

hes can run fast

great claw

can Harvest prime, fiber

great weight

also little tanky

y'all should get one

Use a tapejara or pteranadon or quetz to put it in a 4x4 stone cage with normal stone doorframes as walls. Make sure it's two walls high.
