Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a direwolf? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a direwolf.
How to tame:
You will need:
Tranq arrows or darts doesn’t matter what (or a boomerang) may kill it though Also just a tip tranq arrows from a crossbow may kill it if a low lvl. BOLAS WORK ON THEM SO THAT IS THE BEST WAY
1. Bola (ofc)
2.knock it out
3. MEAT prime- or just normal doesn’t matter really just any meat :)
4. Enjoy no saddle needed like if this helped
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.
(On mobile) while taming knocked out 2 wolfs, put food but no narcotics ,lost them they just dissapeared from their locations, gived up because it said on dododex it required narcotics (lvl 20 taming speed 1), randomly checked tames few hours later it was tamed
Did you know that the lvl 390s in the ice cave are tamable you make them agro bring to entrance we’re they can’t fit and tranq but make sure they don’t tame above max tamed lvl 450 good luck it takes 3 hours and 50 minutes to tame on 1x and 500 narcotics. When tamed you can breed super over powered wolves hope this is helpful and hope you read this it’s useful
-Wolf (yes my switch name is Wolf. Sakura if you read this up pls)
Honestly, just make a trap, get an argentavis, pick up the wanted direwolf, and drop the diré wolf in the trap.
I tryed to trap one but the whole pack followed me in so now I have 6
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)
Hey u yea u if u tame this u can put hats on it
Bolas help a ton, but you still need a bit of luck.
So the best way to tame them in my personal opinion goes as follows:
1. Get supplies: tamed saddled argy, 30-100 tranq arrows, a crap ton of bolas, narcotics, and a lot of prime meat. Also get four wood foundations and 8 wood walls,
2. Put the trap up like a box
3. Get on your argy, kidnap an angry wolf, and put it in the trap.
4. Get in there, bola it, shoot it, and feed it the prime meat.
5. You’ve got a cute wolf friend!
Thanks for listening. Hope this helps!
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
NEVER not look behind you when your taming a wolf who knows a Rex might randomly appear.
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!!
This is how I try to tame direwolves:
1. Bring my Iguanodon to artic.
2. Find a lone direwolf.
3. Lead it back to the warm climate.
4. Escape with my iguano.
5. Come back alone.
6. Bola it.
7. Knock it out with fists.
8. Feed it raw meat if its knocked.
9. Wait.
10. Make sure I have Bio Toxin.
11. Kill more dinos for meat.
(Hint, and help: The more food you put in, no matter how much effect it has, the process will be a tiny bit quicker. KNOCKOUT TAMES ONLY).
12. Feed direwolf ALL meat.
13. Hope it will tame and nothing disturbs it.
14. DEMOLISH ALL RAPTORS IN AREA... (Revenge for my poor still taming argy, who was killed by a stupid raptor...)
15. Repeat process if you want a tamed direwolf pack.
(The only reason I want to tame a dire wolf is because of my dog, Breese IRL.)
Dire wolfs are good for protecting yourbase.
Actually pretty easy to tame! Just get a pterodactyl (this is once you get saddle) and get hide on! Fur if you can or wear and otter that’ll help a bit. Make one aggro on you and make a cage (stone) and lead it to the cage with rams going up it. Doesn’t have to be big! Cheap one can be.. (2 stone foundations, 5 stone. Doorways and stone ramps.) hope this helps! Press that arrow pointing up :D
This is how I tamed my wolves, ITS HOW I DO IT, so don't get mad :
Step 1: make 3 or 4 stone foundations, place near wolf spawn.
Step 2: make proper amount of stone doorways for this, preferably 8. Place with foundations.
Step 3: Place 2 wood or metal ramps, since there are no stone ones. Attach them to the doorways.
Step 4: if you have a buff flyer, something that can take the damage, maybe Argy, use it and find wolves and lead them to your trap. Lead them up the ramp, flying over the trap with your tame. The wolves MAY jump out, but you can re-lead them into the trap.
Step 5: When you have successfully trapped as many as you'd like, kill all nearby threats, then tranq the amount of wolves you want. If ones very low lvl or horrible stats, you can kill them.
Step 6: hang out with your wolf cult
If you are on foot with a friend and encounter a pack of 6, kick your friend in the balls and dip. The friend will forgive you.....eventually.
When you want to tame it make sure you have a good bow.You’ll need tranq arrows and you bow find the one you want a hot it until it’s knocked out but if you scared to kill it and it’s at low health and it runs away it will pass out.Feed it raw meat or raw prime meat or the kibble it eats.when your looking for one have a trike or something that can absolutely kill everything. You can shoot the arrows of the trike that’s helpful so you don’t die.if it’s your first time being there there will be t-Rex’s and woolly rhinos and woolly mammoths sabertooth and a lot more so a least bring a trike.
For the Dire wolf I suggest that you kill it's pack mates and bola it, knock it out and use kibble or prime meat.
