Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a direwolf? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a direwolf.
All you need to tame a bunch of these mean dogs is an argy and a taming pen. 3x3 wood foundations, 2 walls high on 3 sides, and then stack doorframes. Easily snipe the wolf with crossbow.
Build a pen and use a argentavis and bring it back and drop it in and knock it out and you got
On mobile, you can get a super-high-level direwolf from the hard snow cave.
1 *Kill a direwolf*
Enter the cave and get a pack of wolves following you. Then retreat to the first room of the cave with the water pool in the middle and run around it. If you are fast enough, The wolves will try to run straight at you and fall into the water. There you can easily shoot them.
2 *Revive the wolf*
... at an obelisk or at a resurrection platform. This costs amber, on hard mode a lvl 590 wolf costs 32 amber.
3 *Tame the wolf*
You really dont need fancy buildings for this. Just revive it, run a bit away, then bola the wolf. You will only need one bola if you shoot it with the blue shock arrows on a Compound Bow (again, these you will find at the snow cave from tributing the artifact).
4 Enjoy having a super strong wolf. In the cave, they spawn at almost double level (so if your normal max level is 300, you will find 590 ones) and when tamed they gain even more levels. If you tame a 590 lvl wolf with calming balm he will need two prime meat and get 294 additional levels FOR FREE.
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.)
The best way to tame a dire wolf is to separate 1 or 2 from the pack

Make a little trap carry with argy ( it can still attack your argy so give it high health ) then drop in a trap.
No need to worry about the pack just pick the leader or the one you want.
Once you have three you get a pack bonus and a leader bonus for highest level wolf
Is this a mount for mobile? (Up for yes, down for no)
in the cave of the strong if ur on easy mode and want a high level wolf find a high level, take its implant as u cannot tame it in the cave, revive it, knock it and boom. Well done u just got a high level wolf.
My method of tame, stone dino gates, use an argy or similar carry size to pick up and put in pen, stand on gates and tranq. Gg, no re
Are u tired of dying from pack of dire wolves trying to tame one?
Well i have some few tips to tame this brave fearless guy
First of lets prepared the food from most effective to least effective
Carnotaurus kibble/mobile
Raw mutton
Raw prime meat
Cooked prime meat
Just incase
U can find dire wolfs in the cold biomes watch out for rexes. To tame one of these guys i reccomend using the fur set..u can build a box trap using 8 wooden wall 4 wooden foundation and 2 rails
I reccomend using tranq darts or trang ammo for begginers using longneck or crossbow should be good, lure the dire wolf to the box the knock it out by pleasure, the second one is a little bit safer but watch your step. This one called the pillars build a 6 pillars then get on top of it kill the dire wolf that u dont want to tame. And start shooting the high level dire wolf when its running away chase it until its knocked out, once it knocked out put ut food of choice in its inventory and make sure u have bio toxin or narcotics so it dosent wake up until its tamed...now for bonus infos, dire wolf can be ridden without saddle, its really fast among sabertooth and raptors...i guess thats all i can reccomend for you guys and have ur self a very good day!
Ah... yes.... enslaved furry fandom..
When tamed it will have 2 cool abilities
Howl and sniff
(Howl only works with the pack leader)
Howl gives buffs to the whole pack
And the other ability lets you sniff and you can find explorer notes and even a purlovia

If you're on mobile u can get super op dire wolves by killing and using a revival platform to resurrect the dire wolves in the snow cave
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
Dire wolf's can't damage stone so use 4×4 stone doorways and go the doorways high with a ramp perfect trap
I highly recommend taming with raw prime meat. I tamed a black one with prime meat and it started at 52%!!
Best way to tame these beasts on scorched earth when you pick one out fly or jump onto a rock just high enuff so the wolf can not reach you then shoot/trank away and tame your new beast!!! ^_^
1. Get an argy and get it to grab a dire wolf
2. Get it to a safe spot (like I did but then a theri spawned and killed my newly-tamed dire wolf :( )
3. I recommend feeding it raw prime meat grab extra in case it spoils I did it with only 2 prime meat
4 tada! Name ur new wolf :>
If you can tame it it is a really good tame! You don’t even have to have a saddle you can ride it bare back
