Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a direwolf? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a direwolf.
Go to the Cave of the Strong, kill a high level one, revive it, then tame it.
I’m on mobile and I killed and revived 2 max level wolves and bred them to make a super OP wolf. He’s currently lvl 446 and I use him to no joke speed run the Ice cave multiple times to gather a lot of rewards and blueprints.
Hope this helps
Easy to tame, I normally don't even use a trap.
Just grab a handful of bolas and tranq arrows, darts or whatever you're using to knock it out. Then simply find the wolf you want, bola it and insert tranqs into it's head. Put meat in its inventory once it's down.
Boom you have wolf 🐺
Direwolves are very fast, they have very much health, really good malee and are kinda easy to tame. They are bolable and easy to tranq out, visit the northen Cave Of Strong for a high level, somewhere around 400-600
They spawn in arctic region and yes you can bola them
Use bola then use tranq darts. If not then arrows. When down I highly suggest carno kibble. If you don't have access to that then use raw prime meat or reg. Meat. Then once it up you have a Wolfy friend! No saddle needed
Tame one as fast as you can one of the best starter mounts and no saddle needed
Want to tame a dire wolf? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Before we start here are some tips:
•Don’t approach a whole pack of them. They will tear you to pieces
•The alpha (leader) has an orange red glow when it howls. This also means it’s the strongest
• You can ride them without a saddle on mobile
Now let’s start! You will need to pack:
•1 longneck rifle or 1 crossbow
•10-100 tranq arrows or 10-50 tranq darts ( darts deal more topor)
•20-40 raw meat or 10-30 prime meat
Now when you have that stuff approach a pack or one dire-wolf. Kill off the members of the pack you don’t want. Knock out the ones you do want with your crossbow or Longneck rifle. Feed the raw or prime meat to it and there you go! I hope this was helpful!!
I found the easiest way to tame Dire wolf is to make a pin with no top use the Alcatraz and pick one up and drop it in there.It's easier for you to scope out what wolf you want and then pick it up with the bird and just drop it in the pin and Tranquilize it.Many high level wolves by doing this simple technique.
Basically a arctic raptor. You bola it and trnaq it out, simple as that.
The best way to tame these are to build a stone trap ( 6 foundation’s or more and doorframes ), use an argument or anything that can pick it up, and drop it in the pen. Then knock ur out with whatever you have. Enjoy ur direwolf!!!
Ps: they are very strong in pack so I would recommend taming more than one and with both genders so you get the mate boost
They don’t die out of snow

Use a bola to stop it but u might need 3 trank it and kill its pack with meat
For me, make a simple door frame ramp trap. These work Amazing for not just dire wolves, but basically anything.
In Scorched earth these things usually travel alone, pick them up with an Argentavis (In the mountains) and bring it to a medium pen you made. Use a crossbow (I have a Mastercraft one) with some tranq arrows, I brought 50, and just knock them out. It tries to run, so just hit the tail. Once it is knocked out, I fed it raw meat, but I recommend to use the preferred kibble, I was just beginning in there, though.
What I usually do is I make a boat and expand it and a large gate with fence around it, not walls. I then go to tundra, park near an iceberg,place bear traps on the ice burg, shoot wolves so they come towards the iceberg and then shoot them with tranqs.
Uninteresting hints That May Be Helpful - So, just for those who are unaware, you find these massive doggos in the tundra area (snow place). Usually, you find ‘em in packs. Once I found a lone one though. If I had been playing on a server, I would have made a pun, you know, lone wolf. Quick hint for when that happens, DO NOT run forward and try punching it, you’ll usually find at least five baddies around it. Anywho, the pack situation, for the newer players, THE YELLOW ONE ISN’T TAMEABLE. I learned that the hard way 😞. Died at least 7 times. Another thing, these guys do team with raptors, sabres, the weird flying ant thing that calls itself a titan, titanoboas, rexes, Megalodon and so on. I actually had that entire list plus seven on my back once, believe me it was not fun.
Here’s some tips: bring bolas, a bow, tranq arrows, and make a trap and give prime meat or normal meat. I don’t know but you might need some narcos
Run straight. Dont look after you. Bring meat narcos campfire bola and slingshot.
Ur welcome
If your taming one you’ll need to separate it from the pack and hit it with about 5 tranq arrows, feed it to tame, and make sure to have between 5-10 narcotics, it wakes up quite fast 👍🏼 If this was useful
