Bear fight close to impossible?

[Mr_hanky]

Either that or my ranger just suck?:) Is there any tips to this fight, just tried it like 3-4 times and every time the damm normal bear just one hit my poor lion and then comes for me 3 seconds later...:( And i really want to see what that floating stuff above the corpse is for...

Are you talking about that cave with the bear? He's insane. He's going to one shot you, most likely. I'd come back to that later.

[Viper]

YOur not supposed to do that fight at this point in the game.

[Gabe Newell]

This is a party adventure game. You can't solo it.

[Mr_hanky]

hehe guess i will be back for my revenge later!

[Esmian]

Took me like 20mins of reloads to kill that stupid bear solo but I did it. ...Probably should've just come back later.

Is the bandit camp with cook fight also supposed to be done later? I can take the two bandits, but the regen on the outlaw is nuts.

I soloed the bandit camp with a chanter (using that lightning invocation) but I had to swig an endurance potion or two to get through it. Probably a cake walk with a 2nd party member.

[Esmian]

Yeah, if you have at least one endurance potion the bandit camp is pretty easy to solo.

I used the beer, the regen potion and switched to a shield (as a ranger) and couldn't find a way to over come the outlaw's regen with any weapon I had available. Maybe some clue you're in over your head would be appropriate for the first area you're turned loose in?

Bears actually have bugged accuracy, it's higher than it's supposed to be. I reported this bug in the backer beta recently.

There is one of the bandits with a really high regen rate. Was playing a paly and was able to kill the first 2 no problem but the 3rd kept regen any damage. I finally switched out weapons to a mace and the greater dps was able to counter the regen after a while.

Not sure why the one was able to heal so fast though didn't seem anything special.

If that's the bear at near the beginning, I killed it easily on easy as a ranger. Same with the bandit camp. I think I got lucky picking Antelope as my pet. He doesn't seem to do much damage, but makes a nice meatshield. So he kept the bear occupied while I filled it full of arrows from a safe distance. Antelope also seems to interrupt enemies quite a lot, so might be why the bandit camp was also painless.

Well, my troubles came on normal. It seems a bit odd things would spike like that with no warning, but maybe rangers just aren't geared for it. I'll come back later, I suppose.

i just killed the 3 bears(hardest difficulty) with a mage, 1 hitted them all with cone of fire, took me like 50 reloads to get the 3 crits tho

Went through this exact thing (and forum threads) with Lords of Xulima. CBL or find a way to kill it.
