Vicious and lightning fast, the Dire Wolf is a great all-around mount for adventuring and attacking. I highly recommended to bring packs of Dire Wolves for any hostile situation. Whether it be kill Alphas, or raid bases, it's size, agility, and damage make for a deadly beast.

Very important early tame although it may be difficult, it doesn't require a saddle and it gathers lots of hide which is difficult to get early in game

Getting a TLC patch in March 2018 to add howl that will initiate the pack bonus for 5 minutes, will be able to sniff out players or creatures with less than 50% health, and will be able to detect explorer notes. Like so people can see!

Bolas help a ton, but you still need a bit of luck.

These suckers hunt in packs so be careful, and as with most dangerous animals, you don't have to be faster than the dire wolf......just faster than the person running next to you

With no saddle, your wolf will have no means of armor. This means that you're way more prone to damage, so upgrading health is imperative if you want a Dire Wolf that is viable in combat.

I saw a pack of 46 wolf's,you have not felt fear until your bird needs rest on them

Use an Argentavis to pick up, have a friend shoot with Tranq arrows while you hover for easy KO.

Easily one of the best combat mounts in the game. It's cheap to tame and pretty powerful, and there's no level requirement for a saddle. Make sure you tame more than one though, so you can get the mate boost

This is my favorite creature in the game, they are strong, fast, have decent hp and stamina.They are so easy to find and tame ,you dont even need a saddle to ride them.they gather pelt,hide,chitin,meat so good that you just have to get one!

I watched a pack of wolves take on a Yuty and its two Carno bodyguards. Can't say what happened next, a third Carno murdered me.

The Dire wolf almost always stays in a pack, so when you see one, there are probably more around it. If it hasn't attacked you, turn around and run in the direct opposite way you saw it in.

Better if you kick a friend in the balls and dip.

These things are great scouts and have amazing damage for their size. Be careful when taming. Try to trap them so they cant hit you or escape when taming. Always make sure you have stamina on them as they dont move fast when winded.

Theres NEVER just one. If you see one theres 20 on the other side of that rock next to it....

Taming pens FTW
Legitimately dropped one after another in a pen knocked em all out and now i have 10 wolfs

Very good when a friend kills a mammoth and you use your wolf for pelt.

I raised a baby dire to juvenile hood then he stared at me and starved right before my eyes as I got back from hunting

Amazing tame with flawless speed, attack, and health. This mount is amazing for early or late game. This mount makes a perfect companion, especially in scorched earth. The statistic buffs from this animal being in packs also opens a way for a great multiplayer experience in pvp and pve.

Same tip as for da giga: bola your friend and run like flip

The direwolf is a great early to midgame mount for anyone who is able to tame them.Whil a you may think that there is just one always watch out mine times out of ten there is a pack.If you are able to tame up one that will become one of your most trustworthy mount even at low levels.
