Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a direwolf? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a direwolf.
This is how I tame them wolves:
You will need…
1. Bola (I sometimes do without)
2. PLENTY of ammo (I don’t mean just 5 tranqs people)
3. A flier (I recommend argy to pick up wolf and go out of snowy biome)
4. Bio toxin or narcotics (just in case)
5. Kibble, meat, or fish (fish is not meat)
6. Full armor (if no bolas you’re gonna need it…)
7. (Optional) Hide hat so your dog can become pirate dog
8. (Should have mentioned earlier) bow, crossbow, or longneck rifle
What to do…
1. Fly on flier and go to snow biome.
2. Locate a dire wolf (you should know what a wolf looks like)
3. (If on an argy) pick it up and carry it out of snow biome, as predators like saber won’t get it there
3. (If no argy or Quetz) lure it away from predators (maybe take some time)
4. Take out that bola (if you have one) and throw it at that bad puppy!
5. Shoot the beast with tranqs until it does it’s falling-asleep thing
6. Put the kibble, meat, or fish in inventory along with narcotics/bio toxin
7. (Opt.) place bed by dog so if you die
7. Guard your to-be-your-doggo with all your life/lives
8. Name him when he wakes up an’ take back your narcotics/bio toxins
9. Get out of there to your home it is!
10. Lvl him/her up!
If you got this far,note there is a pack so be suspicious if you see one on it’s own, as it probably isn’t alone. Also, don’t charge low-lvl wolf at alpha raptor, even if it’s close to your house, b/c I learned the hard way. R.I.P Winter, my first direwolf that I will always hold in my heart.
They can die
Ha ha ha
But it's not cool when your trying to tame
you can sniff out purlovias with this
Yes get wolf!! Theyre very good you need (breed + bola +tranq arrows dart any you should get your own pack and breed a lot
I have tried to tame one forever, big tip get to high ground and kill the ones you don’t want and bola and frank the one/s you want! Just remember to bring raw meat or prime meat.
DO bring dinos or make a trap and make walls so you don’t kill it and do not try to get yourself in trouble with another pack of this VERY STRONG WOLFS or you might find your way in a way more powerful dino
If want to tame one easily
Fist tame a good level argy
Search wolf, they will be in pack
Make trap( 4 stone foundation and 8 stone gate or 7 wall + 1 gate) safe distance from the wolves pack..
Pick whichever wolf you want to tame, by your argy..
And put that wolf in the trap...
After that universal process knock by dart or tranq arrow.. and feed(prime meat or meat)...
Here the key is your "Argentavis"
On crystal isles, go to the wolf den around 70 45 in cords there's a wolf den, get a argi and grab a high lvl one then fly across the river, get slightly away from the wolf after u drop it then bolą it and shot in its head with tranq darts or crossbow if it's below lvl 100
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!
-Wolf
to tame it you first need to knock it out and then feed it crank kibble. it’s easy to find a carno as well
I tamed one (lvl-570)from the yeti cave and after I tamed it it is lvl 800+ , if you have a fully mutated one with 2k melee you can definitely take down a giga
Highkey the best "first" tame. I'd find a high level moschops tame it get some levels and then go get a wolf. When you find a pack use the moschops to tank all of the other wolves and just bola one. They are easy to ko and aren't hard to tame with prime meat
Tamed a lvl 23 I outran and killed like 5 diplos and now my dog is lvl 83 (max level) put a chitin helmet on him and he is legitimately the best tame ever. Ps I killed everything at night and I named my wolf nightstalker he is AWESOME
(official servers too) If you are gonna tame one, go to Ragnarok, they spawn at very high levels there, get 2 a male and female in 1 run then u should be fine, I got lvl 130 fem and 150 male, now I'm with my first baby wolf at lvl 206.
Place 4 wood foundations and place door frames on them then place wooden ramps and lead the Doggo into the trap and there you go a nice and easy way to get a wolfie
Gun down all but the alpha, it will lose the boost and you can tame it! If possible, you should bola one or 2 other ones and tame one if they are the opposite gender of the alpha! Happy taming!
go in cave where is artifact of strong there are highest levels
For me, make a simple door frame ramp trap. These work Amazing for not just dire wolves, but basically anything.
Really the best way to get a whole pack with this creature would be to train them like old school COD zombies if you have your movement speed up a little bit and so long as your close to a body of water you can escape and/or use the body of water as a tool to tame...now it is tricky but my partner and I use it a lot when we move to a new snow biome
Step 1
Obtain crossbow and tranks or bio (only tool that can fire underwater.
2.run to a pack that's close to water
3. Let them chase you and jump in water....
4.shoot like fish in barrel
Now I can see how this can seem like a high risk mission however the wolves will not travel too far in water and eventually retreat to dry land that's when you just pop up out and shoot them again to finish the knockout...the only other "hard" part is getting THE ONLY TWO GENDERS a male and female...then breeding can start and boom you have two packs that you have no idea what to do with because we picked up a couple and the next day there was 20 of em.....
If you want tame a dire wolf with high level craft a large cell and build a revival platform inside it and kill the dire wolf and take the green stone and revive it easy right
