Dire Bear — Detailed Guide
The Dire Bear is a big, territorial omnivore that serves as a solid mid-game mount. It hits hard, takes a beating and moves well through forests, which makes it a common pick for travel and fights on the ground.
Where to find it
- Both games: notably common on The Center and Ragnarok.
- ASA: also The Island, Valguero, Extinction, Astraeos, Lost Colony and Genesis Part 1.
- ASE: also notably common on Fjordur and Crystal Isles, and it appears on The Island, Valguero, Extinction, Lost Island and both Genesis maps.
It is mostly found in redwood areas.
Taming
A knockout tame.
Giant Bee Honey is its preferred food, and
Superior Kibble its preferred kibble. The
Dire Bear Saddle unlocks at level 45.
Breeding
A live-birth creature. The baby matures in about 1.9 days at 1x.
Uses
Ground combat and travel through dense forest. It also collects honey from wild Giant Beehives without angering the bees, and gathers meat and hide from carcasses.
Tips
Collect honey before you go out to tame one. It is far better than meat for this creature.
