Basic Info[]
Dossier[]
This section is intended to be an exact copy of what the survivor Helena Walker, the author of the dossiers, has written. There may be some discrepancies between this text and the in-game creature.
Arctodus dirus
TimeMid Pleistocene - Early Holocene
DietOmnivore
TemperamentTerritorial
- Wild
Found primarily among the Island's redwood regions, Arctodus dirus is an imposing creature. Many on the island have started calling it a Direbear, a name which is appropriate, both due to its enormity and its territorial nature. The Direbear ignores most non-hostile creatures while going about its daily routine of scavenging for meat and edible plant life... ...that is, until intruders enter the territory it considers its own, at which point the creature ferociously attacks. Most often, it is smartest to just run from an angry Direbear.
- Domesticated
Once tamed, the Direbear is a strong and reliable mount. It can carry vast quantities of goods, and can sprint for extremely long, nearly infinite periods. It is not the fastest creature from a hard stop, but after building up momentum, its sustained overland speed builds to among the best of the island. Of course, being able to feed a direbear both meat and plant life makes keeping one fairly convenient regardless of the environment. Arctodus has a fondness for honey and can harvest it without getting stung or destroying the hive. Perhaps more rewarding while you are riding it, those pesky bees will completely ignore you.
Behavior[]
The Dire Bear is an omnivore, meaning it can eat both berries and meat. It is very territorial and will attack if not given enough space. It possesses a charging mechanic similar to that of the Pachy or Woolly Rhino. It can maneuver at high speeds, and takes a while to actually lose stamina by a significant amount. It possesses a secondary swipe attack that can be used to gather berries and pluck out meat from its target. This swipe additionally does more damage than normal, but stops movement. The Dire Bear can also stand on its hind legs (crouching, default C).
Appearance[]
The Dire Bear is never a welcome sight for survivors in the frozen regions of the ARK. Resembling a grizzly bear in appearance, the Dire Bear is distinguishable by its shorter snout, earning it the nickname "Short-Faced Bear". Like other bears, they are capable of standing on their hind legs, but only to intimidate those that enter its territory. The beast is also surprisingly swift for its hulking build.
Color Scheme and Regions[]
This section displays the Dire Bear's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Dire Bear. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Dire Bear will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. Hover your cursor over a color to display its name and ID.
This information can be used to alter the Dire Bear's regions by entering cheat SetTargetDinoColor <ColorRegion> <ColorID>
in the cheat console. For instance, cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6
would color the Dire Bear's "back and head" magenta.

Taming[]
For general info about domesticating a wild creature see Taming.
KO Strategy[]
- Headshots do not give extra torpor for this tame, they are treated as body shots.
- Any taming strategy will work. Taming pens, picking up, standing on rocks will do. Just make sure not to be on the low ground, as its high base damage will make short work of your character.
- Building a wall or platform to shoot from without being hit from the Dire Bear is one way to ensure you're able to time your narcotic shots properly, which is very important since the Dire Bear has very little health compared to torpor.
- Be aware that the Dire Bear has very high torpor compared to their health. Monitoring the number and timing of Tranq Arrow you use is very important in order to prevent accidentally killing the Dire Bear. This is because it takes 4 seconds for all the torpidity from a Tranq Arrow to apply but only 2.61 seconds to reload a Crossbow. Tranquilizer Dart or Shocking Tranquilizer Dart are advised, as they have a much higher torpidity to damage ratio and the reload time on the Longneck Rifle is within half a second of the time it takes the darts to apply all their torpidity.
- One good strategy is to build a 2x2 foundation with 2-high door frames and a ramp leading to the top. lure the bear in by running up the ramp, jumping in, and running out the opposite end through the door frames. While tranqing , if using a crossbow/bow, place a box and a few beds nearby. Every 10-ish arrows, shove your gear into the box, run up to the cage, let the bear kill you (or drop/lure another creature to the cage), and make sure the corpse is eaten. You may have to drag the corpse to the bear afterwards to ensure it eats it. This ensures the bear heals from the damage done from the arrows. Make sure to feed it corpses every 10-ish arrows because once it gets visibly bloody, it will most likely have enough torpor that it will try to flee and it will never attack after that point. once this happens, all you can do is keep shooting and hope it doesn't die.

Preferred Food[]
The Dire Bear is an omnivore.
Combat[]
Can be stuck between trees or rocks, keep a distance and move in circles, don't run straight.
General[]
The Dire Bear is a strong, giant creature that is territorial. It won't attack you, unless you get really close to it. Dire Bears gain speed the longer it runs, similar to a Woolly Rhino but without the 10x damage increase per meter. Dire Bears don't seem to use this ability in the wild.
Strategy[]
The Dire Bear is slower than the player, so fleeing is a wise choice if you do not wish to kill/tame it. You could run and shoot at it until it gets close to you, run away again and repeat this process until it is dead. Bear traps and melee weapons are also effective, but be careful when using them, as the Bear has a large AoE. The best and cheapest way is to bring a tapejara and attack to get it to follow you. While it is roaring fly and land on the nearest redwood tree then simply shoot it with a crossbow.
Weaponry[]
Ranged weapons are recommended. Stay on high ground and shoot it from afar. Using melee weapons can be dangerous, but can be less dangerous when using high-tier armor and shields.
Dangers[]
They are decently fast and have a strong melee attack. Be careful engaging in a fight with one of these by yourself. When attempting to drop them in a pen with a Quetzal, be wary-like the Sabertooth and the Direwolf, the Dire Bear can sometimes attack while being carried and will quickly deplete your Quetzal's health.
Weakness[]
Their bulky body allows them to be easily shot from a distance. They are slower than the player, so it can usually not catch you if you run. They lose interest quickly, so fleeing is wise.
Utility[]
Roles[]
- War Mount: Excellent damage and speed. The Dire Bears area of attack is huge, reaching all the way back to its hind legs and a good meter in front of it. It can use its primary attack at all running speeds, meaning chasing down prey is easy (Level Health and Melee Damage).
- Gatherer: Very good at gathering Fiber and collecting meat. Not the best, but still gathers Berries, Hide, and Chitin (Level Health, Melee Damage, and Weight).
- Honey Harvester: Harvests Honey on Alternate Fire (Rmb, , ) from wild hives with 3x rate (15 honey) without harming the hives and without aggro from bees. Also acts as a targeting dummy towards Giant Bees to protect survivors riding on it.
- All-Purpose Mount: The Dire Bear is a very versatile mount. It can sprint very fast and has a high carry weight, while also having low stamina drain. Its secondary attack is quite powerful, at 65 base damage. All this makes the Dire Bear a valuable mid-game mount (Level Health, Weight, and Melee Damage).
- Travel: Though the Dire Bear's sprint ignores its speed stat, a fully accelerated Dire Bear is faster than even an unleveled Procoptodon and Gallimimus. Low stamina drain and decently high weight also enable it in this role, however its inability to jump makes getting around cliffs and ledges troublesome (Level Stam and Weight).
- Transport: The dire bear can easily transport goods from one place to another as it has a higher base weight than a Giganotosaurus and is very fast, but does have some problems in getting across rocky or mountainous areas.
- Damage: The dire bears damage is high and similar to a Rex's so it can tear through most creatures' health.
- Combatant: The dire bear has damage, decent health, and great speed. it is perfect for raiding lower tier bases.
- Tank:
Passive Abilities[]
- Insulation - Like the Dimetrodon standing next to a Dire Bear provides 35 Hypothermic and Hyperthermic insulation, which decreases based on your distance from it.

Notes/Trivia[]
For information pertaining specifically to the real-world Dire Bear, see the relevant Wikipedia article.
- The dossier was revealed on November 2, 2015[2]
- The Dire Bear is from the genus Arctodus, which are a group of Short-Faced Bears. Arctodus contained species of Short-Faced Bears that are considered to be one of the largest known terrestrial mammalian carnivorans.
- Arctodus stood about six feet tall on four legs, and eight feet on its hind legs, which were long and thin, making it the fastest genus of bear.
- Arctodus was once nicknamed the Running Bear, as its long legs enabled it to run vast distances.
- Although that the dossier originally said it is primarily found in mountains and tundras, the Dire Bear is so far known to only populates the Redwoods since the Redwoods were introduced into the game.
- On the map The Center they also live in dens located in other biomes.
- The Dire Bear may now get in AND out of the Central Cave.
- The "crouch" key will make the Dire Bear stand up on its hind legs temporarily but this "attack" does no damage.
- Dire Bear received a major update for TLC Phase 1 at 10 February 2018 for the pc (consoles on the 20th) with appearance overhaul, protection from giant bee knocking survivors off, and harvesting honey at 3x rate without damaging the wild hives. They are also brought into Aberration at the same patch.
- Oddly enough, Giant Worker Bee can still harm the survivor even if they are at the bear.
- On Aberration they are the best way to gather Organic Polymer by harvesting the plants on the way down to the Rock Drake nests
- The Polar Bears in the Snow Cave and Ice Cave still use the pre TLC Dire Bear model but use the new Dire Bear animations.
- They do not have protection against bees, nor giving this protection to mounted players.
- Baby Dire Bear reacts differently when they are imprinted after requesting for one as compared to leveling adult Dire Bear up. This shares the same trait as Thylacoleo.
- There's currently a bug with the dire polar bear on Valguero that when un-cryoed or pulled out of transfer that it will disappear from the game, making the map less useful for taming the dire polar bear, dispite it being a lot more common on Valguero.
- The Dire Bear is based off of an extinct bear known as the Short-Faced Bear, the variant of the creature known as Spirit Dire Bear has a similar name to a real animal called the Spirit Bear.[1].
- The Polar Bear found in Valguero cannot be transfer to other map, and once it's cryo'd inside of cryopod, it can no longer be summoned.
- In game, Dire Bear can run fast and also have sharp turn, however this is inaccurate, Short Faced Bear's legs were not used for sharp turns while sprinting, it would potentially break its leg if it attempted to do so, Carnotaurus also would have a similar issue.
- Although an R-Dire Bear variant exists in the game files, they don't spawn on Genesis: Part 2.
