Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a direbear? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a direbear.
When i tamed one for my brother, i got up on a rock which i thought was unreachable from the grund. Turns out either there was a slope or a troodon defied gravity just for a nice meal, be wary of your surroundings while taming these, it will be worth it if you put a couple lvls into health. As many others said, these things kill rexes easily.
Cannot be bred with the Ragnarok Polar Dire Bear.
You can feed a Dino body to the bear to regenerate the bears health. This will intern decrease the chance of death of you are using tranq arrows
The most risk free and effective taming method is to
1. Build a taming pen
2. Lure or drop him in
3. Build a bed and storage chest next to it
4. Tranq the bear until he starts to show blood
5. Put your inventory in chest
6. Let the bear kill and eat you.
8. Respawn in bed, get inventory and finish tranqing. No need to switch to a bow or use traps.
This is very effective because the bear will regenerate a lot of health from eating you. And you will have no risk knocking it out. If you do this correct, maybe even kill yourself twice, you can get the bear to be at 80-100% health when you knock it out. Thus increasing chances of it surviving it someone/something hits it.
Go ahead bring a few hundred narcs with ya. Your going to need them.
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
Direbears are omnorvers! Best for supor kibble or giant bee honey. Best to use tranq darts than tranq arrows case a direbears torpor is higher that it heath.
I would recondmend the red woods i found a lvl 115 there
I got me a level 150 and this is a beast these things kill any alpha no problem just pump healf an melee an you should be gucci
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.
They are omnivores witch is very unique they'll eat either Berry's or meat making them easier tames and easier upkeep
It cannot damage stone, so try to build stone trap and shoot darts, trank arrows kill it before knockout, have it tamed and be disappointed.
Use a trap made from door frames lead it in close the gate trnq dart it and it will fall asleep boas don't work and to tame high lvl one get a low lvl bear get honey with it which is good as kibble for bears then fame a 150 ez
You have to wait for a couple of seconds if ur using tranq arrows
Use tranq arrows but no head shots it’ll die
These guys are definitely impossible to tame without a trap so I heavily recommend making one
And also you should try to use darts because arrows have an increased chance to kill it but if you are using arrows get a few tamed dodos and when it’s low but still aggressive put one in and it will start regaining health when it eats it
Up if helpful
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.
They like honey just as much as kibble, just get so,e honey from your local beehive and then you are good to go
If you wanna get mass berries and out run Gina's this is your animal. Also great in battle with aoe strike. Fiber getter for sure
Just use an average trap to get these it will work believe me.
