How do I kill a direwolf? direwolf battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
You can expect your snow base to be frequently harrassed by these guys. Build spike walls around your base to keep them out or at least make it easier for your tames to take them out. Never go out alone, even a lone mammoth is likely to die from a pack. Unlike raptors or sabers they get a pack bonus like compies, and they get an alpha buff. Shotgun can easily drop individuals.
If you think your safe inside your house boat while in snow biome your wrong these monsters will glitch through your walls and eat you and your happy bunch
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).
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 😆
What happens if you hear them howl ALL the time I've been playing for 28 days..?
Step one: tame a direwolf after hours of work
Step two: watch it get eaten by a rex.
RIP my cute direwolf
Three are enough for being a famous gang in the map
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.
Your screwed if you weren’t prepared to knockout and tame it, make sure you are gear up by then
Try not to tame these things near Rexes if you waste time and food on this animal and have it get killed by a pack of rexes, (clicks tongue) good luck getting out there alive 😑
Direbear: finally, a worthy opponent. OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY
Get a strong spear and then you can take them all on.
These guys are strong as anything so if you see one on scorched earth don't put down a tent they can destroy (I found out)
Spinos your dead
Raptors your through
If you hear a howl.. lord help you.
You see one and aren’t going to tame it and you won’t be able to kill it run I had just spawned in and got killed by direwolves On crystal isles
Be very careful. I tried to pick a wild one up to take it to a taming pen and it can attack the bird you pick it up with
A youtuber said that these things couldn't damage wood. But on Dododex it says that it can damage wood. Why? The youtuber proved it by making a wooden wolf trap. The wolf bit the wood, I think and the wood wasnt damaged. Is Dododex lying, or is this info outdated? Its best to lead a direwolf out of the cold place if you are planning on taming one, and the artic is close to a normal beach. Then you could tame one. Im just confused about the Info.
You can find them in a den in the desert I tamed two 135s and 1 140 because somone put gates to keep them in and not attack you
I don't know why but I can't carry wild Direwolf with a argy lvl 51. Is it because of the level? But I can carry it when I tame it
Rose are red
Violets are blue
If you hear these guys howl
RUN FOR YOUR DAMN LIFE
