I had to spear the bear several times though, which is a bit weird. Once he mauled me unconscious and when I woke up my boots and socks were frozen. Barely made it to a cave in heavy fog.

When game save near Tower, I suspect that bear will appear, then I run for right and for tower, get the parts and "goat" down the rock wall behind, leaving bear behind, run for railroad tunnel for ML, weather became fog and I have to shoot two pesky wolves in the way.
Reach the tunnel, and bear catch me. :steammocking:
