Utility Tips
What is a direwolf used for? direwolf battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Amazing tame with flawless speed, attack, and health. This mount is amazing for early or late game. This mount makes a perfect companion, especially in scorched earth. The statistic buffs from this animal being in packs also opens a way for a great multiplayer experience in pvp and pve.
I can’t recommend these guys more for running caves. They have great knockback, keeping snakes and scorpions away, and they can be tanks if their health is lvled enough (10k is MORE than enough for caves, and alpha battles) they also fit through the exit to the Artifact Chamber in the Hunter’s Artifact cave, making it so much easier to clear that cave again, and again, and again. -BrokenWolves
The Direwolves are very clearly a great, early game, cheap to use tame that is amazing at dealing with caves. I would recommend to tame one as quick as you can but stay away from the threats that the arctic has to throw at you, when tamed, the best utility they offer is gaining early game artifacts in a pack they gain a boost which is brilliant for eliminating those who get in your way.
