Where is bear statue?

I feel like I must have walked past it somehow without seeing it. I've seen 2 of the 3 clues/paintings for it, in two rooms near "Stomp Your Feet", but also haven't found the 3rd clue (or how to get to the guy in the fully-enclosed cave).

According to my map, the only two unopened doors in my entire cave system are one left from the horse and one left from "Stomp Your Feet". I've completed the Owl & Monkey. I've wasted a week doing nothing but watering my crops and re-exploring caves I've already been through (and a couple full days, no watering, just spelunking) and I'm at my wits' end.

you need to go through "stomp your feet" to move forwards. You dont even have to do the light puzzle to get to the exit.

I don't understand. There's a long vertical path up the right-hand side of "Stomp your feet" with blackout-dark entrances at the top/north and the bottom/south ends of the cave. The bottom one is blocked by rocks I can't break (can't get a tool close enough; auto-switches to torch), the top one leads into a dark maze I haven't been able to solve. (When I tried looking for how to get through it, the answer seemed to be "come back after completing the bear challenge", which is why I made this post.)

I've broken every rock in the not-blacked-out area of "Stomp your feet" without ever seeing the door-opening animation. I've scraped my face up and down both sides of the only lit area of the cave. Since seeing your reply I've done all of the above again and passed out in the cave again looking for a way to "move forwards".

Edit to add: In the darkness I have at least *noticed* the puddles/splashing, which I assume is the clue which is supposed to lead through the cave, based on the name... but the water doesn't seem to *lead* anywhere. At least, as far as I've figured out in several long days of wandering around in the dark.

I finally found someone who could help.

After completing the Monkey challenge, in a room two (2) rooms West of the Beach entrance, there is a Northern exit not marked on the map. I had traversed the room several times, broken many rocks, but apparently never broken *enough* rocks to open the Northern door--and the fact it wasn't marked on the map was a major misdirection for me. I was easily able to progress from there to the Clouds Garden and back around to the West entrance of Stomp Your Feet.

Currently paused just after reaching that room, so not sure how difficult it will actually be from there. Since just walking into the darkness is stressing me out at this point, I'll probably come back some time after getting copper tools and passing the room North of Clouds Garden. Anything but this stupid dark room. Based on what I can see on the map, it's the Clouds Garden path, not Stomp Your Feet, which leads to the Bear totem. In fact, the 3rd/final clue is in between the unmarked path and the Clouds Garden!

Your not the only one. The devs seem to have made these challenges actually challenging both logically and mentally... This game cannot be classified as a casual game. Stardew valley a child could play with some occasional tips from a parent/adult... Roots of Pacha even an adult needs to refer to guides and walkthroughs just so as to avoid going insane with these winding paths and annoying logic puzzles.

From "Pacha's pair of rocks" room, travel left through 3 more rooms. There are a set of roots you need to water in the third room you come to open a path to an area below. Once you break the required number of rocks, the door the the bear room will open. You can find a map screenshot in my profile

For anyone still having trouble, use the cave map on roots of pacha famdom site and get to the pachas pair of rocks room and from there get to the northward route (not the watering can room through the west)

Oh my God THANK YOU! I have been looking for a way through this for over a week (real time) and thought I missed something and needed story progression but nothing was happening. This was so helpful.
