Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a direbear? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a direbear.
Try using soothing balm thats a good trick
Easy enough to tame, find ing one is the difficult part. I suggest bringing a bigger and bulkier animal to take hits from this thing while the other player just tranquilizers it. If only one player, grabber onto tree without anything in it and shoot tranquilizers. They either take honey or prime meat. When it’s down PROTECT IT!!
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!
Direbears can die from tranq darts, to avoid this use a snow owl and continue tranqing and healing (this can be done with the RMB and won't effect torpor).
If on mobile and see a 450 or 400+ dont use crossbow to knock it it may DIE AAAAAAAAAAAA. AND MAKE SURE TO SAVE THE GAME
If you do t have rifle and darts take xbow and owl to heal the bear when knocking it out
Nothing about this creature but i tame and knock out creatures that are around level 60+ but i do tame high levels! Its just hard to find them
So for the people who wants to tame this beast easily with tranq arrows:
1. You gotta set up a box trap (My design: 2 stone foundations, 6 stone doorways and a wooden ramp. The normal box trap needs only 1 stone foundation and 4 stone doorways and a ramp, but it has a flaw that when you lure the bear up the ramp, it may jump over the box and kill you. My design is better because the bear will 100% fall inside of it.)
2. Once the bear is inside the trap, shoot it with tranq arrows each per 4-5 seconds. I recommend using the spy glass to check its torpor every time you shoot it for safety of not accidentally killing it. If the hp gets too low and the torpor isnt full yet, just wait until it regens enough hp, and then shoot it again (the HP regen of the bear is faster than the torpor drop, thats why it works).
3. Optional: cover the box with spikes around it so no predators can approach it while it's on low HP
4. While it's regenerating its HP, you can go hunt for some prime meat or do something else if you have a base nearby. You can also get some dinos to come to protect the bear when it's knocked out.
5. Feed it kibbles, honey, mutton, or just prime meat (raw meat is also ok but the taming rate will be lower)
6. Congratulations now you have tamed the beast
Like modern bears it is an omnivore feed it carno kibble if u want,but I recommend giant bee honey and modern bears also eat bee honey.
This is the best tame in the game fits in some caves, slapped out everything it came across.
build a stone gate box make sure it is stone and have a tribe mate on a argi and tranq it or use da frog
It’s prob best to not take any chances and use darts, but if u do use arrows just make sure your blood overlays are set on in the options menu so when it’s getting too bloody u know u need to stop to give it time to heal. I’m sure it’s not full proof but it’s worked for me the few times I’ve tried it. Both in single player and in official server.
But large bear trap works it works i tried it but bear trap doesnt work but large bear trap works.
The direbear is best all around pet it will collect berry,meat,hide,chitin,fur,low lvl 5 bear comes with 600 lbs carry and speeds close to a girlie use a trap to pin it up and thank it.
me and my friend used an argy trap and just knocked it out in there
Can’t Climb rocks get on rocks and use Tranq Arrows
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
Guys these things will eat berries/mejoberries
If you're lazy like me and don't want to use tranq darts, you can use arrows but make sure to take a snow owl and heal it when it starts getting bloody otherwise you will kill it.
DONT SHOOT UNTIL IT FALLS!!! Take a careful watch over it’s health and, when it is low STOP shooting. Check the top or number with the telescope, it will continue to increase. Shoot it again only when the meter begins to go down and keep measuring until asleep.
