Where is the Ferocious Bear?

How to beat the Ferocious Bear in V Rising
The Ferocious Bear can be an overbearing foe, excuse the poor but necessary pun. It is huge, and it can bully you pretty easily. A lot of its attacks move you around the arena. Those attacks often have an area of effect that can be difficult to avoid.
The key to the fight is movement, The Bear’s den is a decently sized area. You should avoid letting the Bear back you into the entrance, as it absolutely has the advantage in that narrow area. Move around the room to keep ahead of the bear. Its regular attacks hit directly in front, so try to stay behind it. However, your main concern is the bear’s area of effect attacks, which hit in all directions.
The Bear tends to chain these attacks together, making them difficult to fully avoid. First, it will attack directly around itself, then further away. Try not to dash out of the first attack if you can, as you may leave yourself stranded and unable to avoid the next attack. If you can manage to avoid these attacks, and consistently do damage in between, you should have no issue taking down the Ferocious Bear.
