The Direwolves are very clearly a great, early game, cheap to use tame that is amazing at dealing with caves. I would recommend to tame one as quick as you can but stay away from the threats that the arctic has to throw at you, when tamed, the best utility they offer is gaining early game artifacts in a pack they gain a boost which is brilliant for eliminating those who get in your way.
This is how I tame them wolves:
You will need…
1. Bola (I sometimes do without)
2. PLENTY of ammo (I don’t mean just 5 tranqs people)
3. A flier (I recommend argy to pick up wolf and go out of snowy biome)
4. Bio toxin or narcotics (just in case)
5. Kibble, meat, or fish (fish is not meat)
6. Full armor (if no bolas you’re gonna need it…)
7. (Optional) Hide hat so your dog can become pirate dog
8. (Should have mentioned earlier) bow, crossbow, or longneck rifle
What to do…
1. Fly on flier and go to snow biome.
2. Locate a dire wolf (you should know what a wolf looks like)
3. (If on an argy) pick it up and carry it out of snow biome, as predators like saber won’t get it there
3. (If no argy or Quetz) lure it away from predators (maybe take some time)
4. Take out that bola (if you have one) and throw it at that bad puppy!
5. Shoot the beast with tranqs until it does it’s falling-asleep thing
6. Put the kibble, meat, or fish in inventory along with narcotics/bio toxin
7. (Opt.) place bed by dog so if you die
7. Guard your to-be-your-doggo with all your life/lives
8. Name him when he wakes up an’ take back your narcotics/bio toxins
9. Get out of there to your home it is!
10. Lvl him/her up!
If you got this far,note there is a pack so be suspicious if you see one on it’s own, as it probably isn’t alone. Also, don’t charge low-lvl wolf at alpha raptor, even if it’s close to your house, b/c I learned the hard way. R.I.P Winter, my first direwolf that I will always hold in my heart.
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.
to tame it you first need to knock it out and then feed it crank kibble. it’s easy to find a carno as well
Gun down all but the alpha, it will lose the boost and you can tame it! If possible, you should bola one or 2 other ones and tame one if they are the opposite gender of the alpha! Happy taming!
Place 4 wood foundations and place door frames on them then place wooden ramps and lead the Doggo into the trap and there you go a nice and easy way to get a wolfie
I underestimated these guys and my lvl 430+ Saber got a hard beating from 'em XD
Luckily, she's a decent Saber and we managed it. Now, I gotta tame some of them to gather pelt 😆
Tamed a lvl 23 I outran and killed like 5 diplos and now my dog is lvl 83 (max level) put a chitin helmet on him and he is legitimately the best tame ever. Ps I killed everything at night and I named my wolf nightstalker he is AWESOME
In a dungeon, these things health SUCKS, but once you revive and tame them, they are AMAZING, mine tamed out at 225, and is now 237, and she is both amazing in looks, and stats. She can kill a lvl 50 bronto in less than thirty seconds. So yeah, these guys are the best (Eerie version looks cool at night, trust me)
Highkey the best "first" tame. I'd find a high level moschops tame it get some levels and then go get a wolf. When you find a pack use the moschops to tank all of the other wolves and just bola one. They are easy to ko and aren't hard to tame with prime meat
On mobile go to artifact of strong cave it has a 250 level wolfs
DO bring dinos or make a trap and make walls so you don’t kill it and do not try to get yourself in trouble with another pack of this VERY STRONG WOLFS or you might find your way in a way more powerful dino
If you want tame a dire wolf with high level craft a large cell and build a revival platform inside it and kill the dire wolf and take the green stone and revive it easy right
Comparing this to a sabre is a joke. I tamed both 150 sabre and wolf at the same time and my wolf can take on so much more and surprisingly enough I find the wolf more tanky even though it has no saddle and the melee is just so much better. As well as its so much easier to tame in the first place, half the time the sabretooth dies trying to tranq it.
How to tame as low lvl in ark (mobile, or not)
Get 2-5 fria curry, meat or prime and a ptera
Have health thingies and 4 foundations, 14 doorframes and 2 ramps, wood at least
Drink fria curry everytime you loose the buff and recover when needed
Find wolf
Build 4x4 trap and 2 doorframe height except from where the ramps are (they jump)
Get the pack in (with ptera for easier) and kill the ones you dont want
MOBILE BUG bed bug: sleep and whatever wolf you hit with tranq first will have its hunger dropped down to 0, meaning that it will tame instantly, or just use soothing balms.
Extra step:
Give them a stack of meat and get back to your house with ptera and request him
Tip:
This guys aggro from a lot far away (like 2 rexes in a line) so get the aggro, get them out, build trap, aggro and get them in.
For cheap but bad method:
High ground, bola, not more to explain
(Apology for bad english if there is)
