How it behaves
It notices players within 34 metres, attacks at close range for 32 damage, and pursues until the target escapes its territory.
Hunting notes
Watch the attack wind-up, step outside its reach, and return a strike during recovery. Armor reduces the cost of a mistake, but movement decides the fight.
Preparation and rewards
The dire bear extends the bear fight into a 140-health endurance trial. Its higher speed makes backing away less reliable, while the same heavy attack rewards a clean side-step and disciplined counterattack. Equip every armor piece earned earlier in the chain and carry enough healing to survive a late mistake. Choose level forest, taiga, or alpine ground before engaging rather than accepting the terrain where it first notices you.
