Use tranq arrows but no head shots it’ll die

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.

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

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.

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

You have to wait for a couple of seconds if ur using tranq arrows

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

They like honey just as much as kibble, just get so,e honey from your local beehive and then you are good to go

I was reading all the tips but most were wrong. If you are planning to tame one of these, use a 3 by 3 taming pen with narcotic traps on the ramps. By far the safest way to take down the bear without putting yourself or the bear on danger.

If you are on mobile and you're lv 40+ and you don't have this killing machine on easy mode get the metal collar so when 2x boost becomes 3x boost for your beautifull dire bear my dire bear was lv 38 then he kill a lv 15 alpha raptor and a lv 10 alpha Carbo so tame it just get on a high rock cause this thing is really fast and does double dmg

When breading keep at least 2k berries and meat

Just use an average trap to get these it will work believe me.

These things usually in the red woods so it’s dangerous and they will die by things attacking it while nocked out so

Step 1. Make a little house with one wall gone

2. Lure it into little house (put a door for easy escape

3. Place wall on other side quickly

4. Open door, window, trapped door ex. (Make sure to place one)

5. Shoot with tranq darts and wait for it to tame

6. Take it home (or be safe and put it in cryo pod if you can)

I use this strat on valguro

I downed a 145 with arrows and crossbow just stagger your shoots about 5 seconds apart and it will end eventually go down.

Breed two 150's and imprint cub to 100% killed 15 alpha worms solo and counting

Best way to tame a bear is using darts to knock it out and feed honey. Adds 7.0% taming with out useing balm

My friend darted a low level because we are starting on aberrations. His longneck broke before he started running so I did the only thing I could think of... I jumped at it with a shield and a club. Let’s just say I was a distraction so he could go get a new rifle, would not recommend

The new kibble doesn't work when taming

When taming dire bears, or ANYTHING in Redwood Forest, lead it away. I tamed more than 6 dire bears, and I'm only left with 3, because the rest died to terror birds.

And to actually tame one, in one hit, they will nearly kill you, so what I do is get on a rock, and tranq it, and feed it raw prime meat.

Starve tame it for about 15 minutes and with about 8-14 mutton, it will tame
