Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a direwolf? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a direwolf.
If you want to tame one than do this:
Bring some tranq arrows [20-30 just in case if you miss]
Find the one you want to tame
Tranq it out
Lead the rest of its pack to where you can kill them
Put some prime in its inventory [bring 10-12 just in case]
Then you will have a Dire Wolf
I hope this was helpful
Someone put like 50 wolves on PC right in front of my base and set all of them on wander and aggressive. They were all around level 200-350 and one wolf does 50 damage, and has 2k hp. Lord help me.
I tryed to trap one but the whole pack followed me in so now I have 6
Hey u yea u if u tame this u can put hats on it
Make a mental about breeding: make sure wolves are passive. After the gestational stage the baby is left " inside" the mother. If the mother is not on passive, when the baby is born they will kill it. I've lost many younglings bc I wasn't paying attention & moving them out the way.
I think this creatures are too strong... my friend and me see a group of wolfs (we play on ps4) one lvl 140 another lvl 145 (on ps4 is max level of wild dinos 150) we bola all of the 4 wolfs, kill the lowlevels and tame the good ones. After tame we have a women and a men of wolfs (lvl210 and lvl214) and without more skilling they make 654 damage!!!!!! I think the Direwolfs must be not bolable. they opopopopop fithing dinos and very easy to tame. i hope you learn about this tipp and rate 🔼 this to other players see this (we have over 6 wolfs (breeded) and he are verrry strong) (tip: tame so many you can)
im not sure if others are experiencing this, but on mobile whenever i knock out a wolf and move too far away from it while its unconscious, the whole creature disappears forever. just.. straight up ceases to exist. be careful mobile users
These guys are great tames! Here is a quick tutorial to take them.
You need:
1x bow or better
1x bola
Amount of tranqs depend on the level.
Bola the direwolf then shoot it with your tranqs arrows then put meat in it's inventory.
Enjoy your new direwolf. They are strong and also make cute pets.
Make sure when picking it up that you make sure it’s face is facing the opposite way of you so it can’t bite :D press dat ^ arrow!
please tame one of your a good level!! i love mine so much and you will too. me and t-bone have killed two rex and all kinds of other big dinos. you won’t regret doing this!!!
Don’t die if you do you lose your stuff so I recommend separating the pack from the one you want to tame then trap the one you want to tame and tranq it I would recommend taking a fjordhawk with you with a bed in a 1x1 nearby so you get your stuff back
A pack of 8 nearly killed my level 160 rex. They're very powerful creatures and are worth taming!
NEVER not look behind you when your taming a wolf who knows a Rex might randomly appear.
Bolas help a ton, but you still need a bit of luck.
You won’t believe I tamed one of it when I was level 32 and I knock it with club up so more people will see it
Don’t need a saddle for them after there tamed there just ridable
Easy tame they say wolfs dont come in packs they say....
Best way to tame these is get it away from its pack (pref go for Alpha) when alone bola it and use slingshot(it may die) or tranqs(i used tranqs) or club(you could die or get it killed) or darts(never tried) some may end in death but anyways. When tranqed, make sure NOTHING is in the area in a 10 ft radius. Starve it for a minute or two (pretty sure it doesn’t require much narcotics.) make sure to get a good taming effect. When tamed put it somewhere safe until you request it (unless u have rg)
I hope you liked and used my guide!

Use an Argentavis to pick up, have a friend shoot with Tranq arrows while you hover for easy KO.
If u r on ark mobile, then go in the snow cave because they have double level dire wolves compared to the natural spawn ones but with atleast 1000 total armor(u can check it where the character's stats are shown) and kill some with a long range weapon or very good sword but DO NOT HARVEST THERE BODY and take their implant and run out and collect some amber by collecting drops or by farming easy caves and then revive the Wolf and tame it. BOOM now u have a very high level dire Wolf and u can pump up its stats and use it to do other caves or even this one. Thank you!!
