Tips & Strategies
Ummm you know how you can get a howl buff from them when there's two or more? Well my base is inconveinently DERECTLY ACROSS THE MAP FROM THE ARCTIC so it takes me like 10 minutes to get there. Anyway I tamed one today and it took SO FREAKING LONG to go there, find one, pick it up, bring it to a safe place, bola it, knock it out with a club, give it meat, and wait for it to tame. When I was taming one, I always have a hide sleeping bag on my Argy, so I slept there. When I woke up, the wolf was 59% tamed, so I fed it some narc. Then a sarco came runnin' at me and I killed it with my metal hatchet, got some prime, gave it to the wolf. It tamed, and Input it on a rock, flew home, requested it to my base. Done! Well it was so hard and I don't. think im gonna be taming another one.

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.
They can sniiff out hidden animal and also can sniiff out explorer nots and artifact

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.
Best dino for early game.
Doesnt heed much arrows to tame , just stand on top of a rock and shoot at it. Once tamed it doesnt need a saddle to be ridden. And believe me when i say it absolutly shreds anything!!
Up this so the noobs can see!!
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
You can put a cloth hat on them and they can be pirate dogs
Direwolves are easily my favorite tame on the island, they are extremely good battle creatures especially in packs. Breeding and imprinting (which I did) as well as leveling them up means you can take on nearly everything. Itβs extreme mobility and small size means you can use it for most caves, as well as collecting tons of chitin and meat along the way. This is a 9/10 tame for me, due to its relatively easy taming process (bola then tranq) and its extremely versatile usage.

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.
12 good ones = death to all the Server
