DO NOT take a group of these on by yourself without tames and without bolas, if your movement speed is low and your stamina is too, nine times out of ten you will die. If you are going to go out in a dangerous area on foot, be sure to always take bolas with you as one hit to a dire wolf immobilises them for quite some time, allowing you to escape unharmed. If you want to kill one of these bad boys I would still suggest using bolas, however once bola'd do not attack it from the front as it will still take a chunk out of you. Just strike it from the side or behind. I would only suggest taking a group of these things on with multiple people or multiple high level tames(preferably heavy hitters).

A dire wolf does more damage but take more because of the lack of a saddle, meanwhile a saber tooth takes less damage and does less damage and if you making a pack you need a couple of saddles.

In ark mobile go strong cave kill one take its implant and revive it afte reviving you can tame a very high lvl dire wolf

You can do this with onyc also

Absolute amazing tames and can do most caves on the Island, also very fun to bring a pack and run around killing things! (Watch out for Gigas though) these are very strong tames once fully imprinted and with mate boost + Alpha bonus.

On mobile you can equip it with a helmet, this fixes the no armour from saddle problem quite nicely.

Does anybody know if a pyromane that is ridden, not imprinted with 8k hp and 450% melee can solo the spirit dire wolf and spirit dire bear?

Ark mobile. If you go to the ice cave and just set up a wall of window walls with a doorway (stone or better) you can pen them in and tame high level ones. If you have the amber for revival you could just take the implants and revive them. If you want to sneak through and select the level and gender you want use an arthro and just lure the one you want away. They won't attack but they will follow you at first hit 50% health and 25% health. Make sure to pull the artifact right. Currently running 2 level 809s about to start breading. This works! Happy hunting.

Dire wolves are the best creatures for getting keratin. So get an argy and pickup your direwolf. Head to the beach and kill turtles.

These guys, despite being one of the best combat mounts in the island and mobile (and a few other maps that they are in), they are easy to get ahold of. Torpor doesn’t drop as quick, jumps incredibly far, doesn’t need a saddle, and hits like a truck. The only hard part in getting one is luring them away from its pack.

These guys always come in packs. The alpha leader is the trickiest to defeat,and they can be anywhere when they jump at you in packs. I advise if you want one,they always carry Aleast one baby pup with the,. So,kill the pack and imprint on the baby is the easiest way to get one. The packs are useally 4-6,discounted the baby

Alright listen u need this guy as a early tame how u may ask? Here

1. Craft atleast 10 bolas

2. Get hide armor and an otter(passive tame)

3. Get the otter in ur shoulder go to the place where it spawns and tame it with narcos or other things..

BINGO! u have a gooooooood hoi 🐺

Already favorite animal in ark i love wolves

South 1 on ragnorak is best place to tame finding solo wolves to a abundant amount, I would suggest a pen to trap with resources set by. Atone is best, Rock Holes tend to pop up here and there near by locations though they stick out easily, you can find sheep all over the area for mutton giving up to 35 on official servers.

On crystal isles, go to the wolf den around 70 45 in cords there's a wolf den, get a argi and grab a high lvl one then fly across the river, get slightly away from the wolf after u drop it then bolą it and shot in its head with tranq darts or crossbow if it's below lvl 100

These guys are my favourite cave tames they can harvest tons of hide and chitin and also have good health and melee also in mobile you can tame a 800+ lvl wolf from killing it in yeti/strong cave and reviving it via Implant and taming these beasts

People have been saying these are a good tame for early game, but they aren’t. Why? BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN THE NORTH ZONE, YOU DO NOT EVER GO THERE IN EARLY GAME. EVER. Also, hide is actually an easy resource to get in early game, they are just good for farming pelt, and that is difficult to get.

I was actually able to tame one that exceeded lvl 450.And boy was it strong.

My wolf’s name was Wolflin and currently lvl 830+

How did I do it?

Step 1: Pick a wolf you wanted to tame.

Step 2: Kill it and get the implant. By doing so,you can nust revive it up with a high but reasonable enough amount of amber.(I did mine with 40+)

Step 3: Once you do,bola it up.(Idk but mine destroyed metal bear trap)

Tranq darts works best for this,so that is preffered.

Now,after all this,you can tame it as you please.

I tamed one (lvl-570)from the yeti cave and after I tamed it it is lvl 800+ , if you have a fully mutated one with 2k melee you can definitely take down a giga

Great tame for scorched Earth. Tough enough to kill small enemies and hunt small game, quick enough for hunting and fleeing. Jumps are very useful. The howel can be used to help your friends locate you. Can literally be used as an attack dog, and fetch you things if you use the right whistles. Eventually will have alpha boost. And it is a great pet doggie.

One of my favorites.
