So here’s something I just learned: When a Purlovia leaps at you you can bat it away with a dire bears slash attack. I just beat the snow cave using this so I hope this helps :)

My dire bears just freaking ate the beta megapithecus. Had 15 bears, 1 yuty, 3 died but still god damn.

Everything is good but health, basically glass cannon

Fast but need a startup and just keep moving without hitting or colliding anything or they will be slow

Very fast and eliminates the need for any other berry/fiber gathering, does an amazing amount of damage.

Bears gather insane amounts of fiber but with the paw swipe it gathers better than the normal bite

Utility info

They are good at harvesting plants.

They are faster than a giga, so you can get away fast.

They are as strong as a Allo or Rex.

--GOOD POLYMER FARMER ONLY ON ABERRATION--

Use a Pelagornis instead in other maps and kill Penguins.

You need to tame this, hands down one of the best tames in ark so for the love of god get it

For dire bear I recommend taking a ptera with you and 6 stone walls 1 ramp and 2 stone foundations to build a strip like this

On the opposite beach then agro the bear to run away from the reds and fly over the tractor get him stuck note high stamina=best results then a simple bow or longneck to uncon him and then giant bee honey for easier tame

For me, Dire Bears are one of the useful and greatest mounts because they have pretty awesome damage, they are fast, They can gather both berries and meat and also fibers too! Dire bears are also one of the best mount on some caves(Other than dire wolves)

These animals are unmatched in usefulness. With some breeding, I was able to raise a bear that took out a lvl 125 alpha Rex. Best overall mount out there

Great for getting bio toxin from the red topped mushrooms with red bottoms in the abb section on val

THE DIREBEAR

Wild Direbears

Ark's Direbears are dangerous creatures located in and around the redwoods. Many survivors and their tames have been mauled by the incredible damage of the direbear. Direbears are not very aggressive but have a short temper when you come too close. Direbears have low health but amazing damage, much like the Spinosaurus. Able to defeat a Carnotaurus with ease, the Direbear can pose an unlikely threat.

Tamed Direbears

When tamed, the Direbear can gather many materials with incredible efficiency including Organic Polymer, Fiber and Honey.

They also gain huge momentum when sprinting enabling them to go very fast.

They can be used best with health and damage level-ups as they would make a very good defence and offence.

Is it faster than allos?

Up if yes down if no

These things are very strong, good harvesters for fiber and if you get a good pair then you’ve basically got murder machines. Also to the person who said there are larger bear traps, you are right and the people who say that the bear traps don’t immobilize it hate to come to the truth that they can just make bigger ones.

A very good berry and fiber gatherer

On mobile they look really cute with a bandana and it can really pull off the Winnie the Pooh look

The perfect mount. Gathers practically everything;berries meat hide chitin- the usual carnivore stuff and herbivore stuff combined. And with the gets faster the longer you run perk, you will never be stuck behind tribe members weather theyre on raptors or dire wolves. Can easily beat carnos and possibly some early level rexes. All round mount with basically no faults.

This is 100% the best poly farmer. It's in the radiation of aberration. You pick the white/pink bulb flowers with it. Get a slot cap of poly in a minute.
