Thanks for creating and posting this. To the best of my knowledge, the incantation: Poison Mist, will not break the sleep cycle of a target. I have killed numerous Rune Bear using Poison Mist. When coming across a snoozing Rune Bear it is possible to kill it using Poison Mist, if one maintains enough distance. For those targets with exceptionally sensitive detection abilities, the majority of engagements require one to gain agro then lose it before sneaking up behind the target. For those Erdtree Avatars that are susceptible to poison, due to their detection sensitivity, it is essential to gain agro then lose it before attempting to sneak up behind them.
There is a melee weapon with relatively low Str/Dex requirements (but 14 Int) that has innate Sleep buildup and a Sleep Weapon art. It is also not that difficult to rush to. I think it might be a good alternative to sleep pots for Mage-builds, and situations where Sleep is applicable. I find these Rune-Bears (Boss or enemy variant) mostly difficult because they knock you around so much and their charge is tricky to avoid. So the first few encounters I had, it wasn't about being able to do damage; but rather surviving and getting to actually hit it. There is probably a trick to it that just conflicts with my playstyle, so I haven't worked it out yet.
I'm new to this game, and i was just minding my business killing those zombified workers in Limgrave, and then poof this effin bear appeared in a cloud of smoke 😔 i almost died of fright wtf. I haven't got the sleep pots recipe yet though, but good to know thanks for the tip!
What a horrible suggestion. Finding cracked pots to use for crafting is so limited. I only have 11 cracked pots for crafting material and I'm level 136 right now. The point is, you don't get enough of those crafting pot materials to utilize it effectively as a large scale arsenal. This is just a waste as there are plenty other ways to kill a rune bear. Especially with gravity stones and the meteorite staff. Combined with fast casting enough hits will knock the beat down and you can run up to do a critical. I'm just saying there are a ton of better ways than this. This is just a waste of materials.
So we have to roofie the bear...
Haha! You didn’t hear it from me…
This bear is very easy wait till the hidden one in snow field
