Grizzly Bear

A  is a fiercely aggressive and very hostile creature that you can find in the forests. They seem to populate more toward to the coasts in just about every forested area of the world. They yield the best harvests from hunting a single creature on average, and are excellent sources of huntable materials, including Fangs.

Combat Strategies

 * The best strategy is to not hunt them alone. Attack them in groups, or tag-team them by having one player kite and distract it while the other attacks it.


 * Trying to hunt these by yourself using melee weapons is extremely dangerous, and more than likely a suicide mission due to the Grizzly Bear's fierce strength. Contrary to belief, the heavy knockback caused by getting hit from one of their attacks - actually benefits the player by creating space between the player and this beast from more deadly strikes. Of course, if it knocks you off of a cliff and you die, that is a different story, but you should always be aware of your surroundings if you wish to survive.


 * So if hunting them by melee is highly discouraged, the recommended way to hunt them is using Javelins. The most effective Javelin for low cost is Stone Javelin, but if you're rich you might as well make Iron Javelins since Steel variants are such a waste for only three javelins and only deals 1 more point of damage per hit. Stick with Stone or Iron. Whatever ranged method you choose, you should not start attacking it until you're at a good range and have time to either finish it before it reaches you, or kite it until it dies.


 * If you are cornered or bleeding and can't outrun the bear and must fight it by means of melee the best thing you an do is have a weapon with long reach such as a battle axe, halberd or great sword. With a decent weapon you can attempt to trick the Grizzly Bear into striking you and you further attempt to avoid its attack and then quickly strike before it strikes again. This is extremely difficult to do consistently.
