What is a direwolf used for? direwolf battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
These are very good all-purpose tames. They actually make pretty good travel mounts if you're not carrying much because of their speed. A well-leveled one can take just about anything you might encounter on a short to medium length expedition. I recommend getting their health up to around 5k (depends on your difficulty) and then put points into melee, speed and stamina. Also very good for gathering chitin and keratin, although not quite as good as a saber (they're cuter though).
I see a lot of comments bad mouthing smaller mounts for combat, doesn’t really make sense to compare a small mount with a red for one you cannot shoot from a rex or hide it during combat or a raid, two a rex cannot run as nearly as fast as a wolf 3 doesn’t take a saddle doesn’t mean it’s useless try hitting me with your Rex while I sprint off turn around and snipe you off the back a passive Rex dies where he stands an neutral Rex dies in a trap, try out running a wolf good luck
Op for caving I just took down a 135 danger noodle with one and op hide and choking also good fast explorer mount and easy to tame no saddle needed either can equip helmets I gave me best helmet a flak one and he is sir knight or my other has nerdy glasses so sir nerdy pants I went down with nerdy and demolished the cave in a few mins
!Best explorer mount!
Do not underestimate the howl but they are the fifth best dinosaurs to go into caves with and just bring a few imprinted ones to the cave of the strong and stick right with all the wolves on attack target so they will only attack your target and make sure they don’t fall in they do better together trust me but still be afraid of that cave :.( one of my strongest wolf died rip pls up for rip and if you think I’m right
