Tips & Strategies

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)
More Direwolf Utility Tips
No saddle needed.
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
