Love the realism of this game. My attacks against this boss feel exactly like if I was hitting a real bear with a stick doing next to no damage and getting mualed
By this point in the game I’m kinda able to figure out patterns and common opportunities to land attacks but on the whole this game will humble you as a gamer
This game is almost unenjoyable the way they make these boss fights one after another. Can’t even enjoy the game for five minutes without getting pissed off and stuck for a few hours again
It’s fun, don’t get me wrong.. I just have a life outside of gaming. I don’t want to spend hours stuck on one thing because it takes me days to even get a couple hours in
I agree with you I have played the game for about a week and I almost regret buying it You kill 1 boss after 300 tries and 5 minutes later you meet another one which you need 400 tries to beat There’s no time to actually enjoy the games
Exactly I was about to quite on the snake guy at first was really mad after calmed down starting playing more carefully and then crushed the shit out of him 😅
Thanks Man, glad someone actually talks and explains in their videos instead of just showing the fight footage! Very Helpful, took him down right after watching!
Ya this dam game almost made me refund it. I am this beatrnow. The first big head boss was wrecking me. The other bosses have been a bit easier even still taking a lot Ls but I can see the finish line with those. Shit is hard. Still enjoying it though
While I didn’t use your guide for the fight, apart from the fireproof mantle I also found that an immobilize while the bear is in cloud step will snap him out of it. It’s kind of a waste but if you’re going for a brute strength approach like I did it does help.
This was aa good fight. First attempt I was like Nah! Ain't gonna happen today. I got him in the 2nd or 3rd try with 'no' intent to expectation of actually defeating him. It was just a practice run of a sort. So satisfying. What happened next is also remarkable.
Haven’t had issue with any boss besides this one and he always gets me right at the end. The game will literally lag and he some how will always kill me. Never have gotten so mad in my life
After watching this game it is absolutely clear we are playing two different games. For one the bear does not allow distance between me and him he spams his claws swinging technique and then when I cloud form behind him and hit him he will elbow drop and fall backwards. Even after dodging the move from an Atomic elbow he will roll over and try to hit me. And then when finally getting his power down to an inch he starts spamming his wind form left and right and literally hits me back to back before my man can even get up.🙄 I think that last update did something
I found that your guide is good. I tried popping the Red tides early on so maybe I could use it twice but it seems like using it puts him into second phase early. He had like 80% health and switched
I feel you dude... And the frequency of bosses makes it hard to enjoy the game... You fight absolute flies and then something you're gonna spend hours on... Annoying. How the hell they thought this might be enjoyable, idk... Sekiro had it right. You beat the easy mobs, then you get a mini boss, you beat him after while and then you get a real boss. But not all big bosses are equally difficult. And the fights are somewhat enjoyable. Plus the item restriction adds to the difficulty.
Every fucking boss is way to hard. Was stuck for like a week fighting the aqua snake man, finally killed him, only to be stuck for days fighting the bear. This is just not fun and the game is way to diffucult.
Thank you. As always your guides are some of the best. Should be facing him shorty so keeping for reviewing again before. Cheers. EDIT: 3-4+ times so far. No luck. These bosses are way too OP and frustrating. The way it's going I'm not sure I want to continue much further with this game. The devs really messed up this game with over-OP boss rushes type of game which otherwise could have been a great game. And I don't think it's just me. I see many others complaining similarly as myself.
@@Elbethium True. And this one seems to be on top of the list. I've never had such a frustrating time with any other souls-like games and its bosses. And I've played quite a few so is not my first rodeo. Imagine I'm level 95 in the 1st chapter facing this boss and getting real horrors trying to beat him? And I'm that high a level not because I really wanted to spend most of my time farming over and over. It's because I had to find something else to occupy myself with in the game when I meet a boss I just can't get by which is mostly every boss in this game extremely OP and thrown at you every 5 minutes. Freaking ridiculous.
1:16 this was really the only thing stopping me from dying to him at 10% over and over and beating him on my first attempt after having obtained it. Made an annoyingly large difference. If you don't have it, go get it.
I subscribed after watching the video. Some of these streamers voices annoy me but not this guy's, plus it seems like he has chapter appropriate armor for the fight. Im going to try again after work today.
I had him down to a smidge and still had half a gourd but somehow managed to lose track of my health while concentrating on his vanishing act and he caught my with that delayed leap out of it 🤦♂️
@@optiglitch It's not a souls game because the game principles, mechanics, game design of the souls games are completely different. The only thing that it has in common with the Dark Souls games is that it is a 3rd person fighting game with high difficulty and complex boss fights. But besides that it's completely different.
Can get him to half but once he goes into the smoke/fire phase I just get wrecked. Can’t dodge it for shit. Also, your spinning staff attack has about a 40% chance of hitting him. You’d think the hit box would be gigantic but…no
Actually I was able to clear him in my 4th try. He was nothing when compared to wandering wight and White clad dude. Anyone stuck with this boss just time you dodges and attack him in his blond spot
I killed this stupid bear twice but each time he kills me exactly at the same time and then I end up dying instead of him. Load of nonsense. Most of the time I get his health next to nothing but then Im also near death and he always gets me. Why is it I cant use my abilities in his second phase but you can?
Idk I breezed through until black bear 😢 I mean I have a good tracking record. Ds3, blood borne, nioh 1 and 2, eluding ring, both remnants, demon souls. Sekiro was only one that I couldn’t finish
I found this boss extremely easy. Just dodged until he did some sort of belly flop, then i would get a full light attack combo, freeze, and then get full light attack combo. Too speed things up even while he was attacking just stay attacking his ass
Fuck mate I hadn’t found the Fire Mantle and was LITERALLY unable to survive the fire flurry EVERY time I tried. Just impossible. Must’ve tried 100 times and still couldn’t survive the 2nd wave of the fire. Saw your video, got the mantle and beat it in 3 attempts 😂. Should be mandatory in my opinion to have it before you can fight the bear tbh.

It's a boss rush, what did you expect.

Bro this bear has me in tears man 😭😭
Just remember every boss I have fought thus far has me in tears, but you can do it. 😂😂
I almost kill him today tell I ran out of mana and I use was gonna. Use that one ability to keep him in place then die😭😭😭

Stop lying u know u haven't
Stop being jealous and step up instead
Same here
This is a good game but it's very hard. I don't think people's who bought this game realized how hard it is.
I sure do but am getting use to it
@XakuX9 you might but I think most people who bought this felt it would be GOW level of difficulty. This game is 100 times harder than GOW
Ya this dam game almost made me refund it. I am this beatrnow. The first big head boss was wrecking me. The other bosses have been a bit easier even still taking a lot Ls but I can see the finish line with those. Shit is hard. Still enjoying it though
I thought it was a chill action game not bloodborne 2 😭
im still playing but it is definitely a tough game so far. To those who are complaining the difficulty, its called getting your moneys worth.
He always fucks me up in phase 2, with the fire shit… glad I know now that I needed the fire mantle
After struggling with the white snake maybe 100deaths, this black bear was nothing I could clear it just in one shot. I was so happy!
While I didn’t use your guide for the fight, apart from the fireproof mantle I also found that an immobilize while the bear is in cloud step will snap him out of it. It’s kind of a waste but if you’re going for a brute strength approach like I did it does help.
Still, a good tip and more options is always welcome
Thanks mate……I will try to follow this guide. The fire phase has been wrecking me.
You got this 😄👍 just make sure you have the fireproof mantle
@@Elbethiumman, I only got hit like twice!!!! Thanks again. Wish I could re-sub, lol

the bear was easy (4 tries) but the most annoying one till now was the guy with the 2 phases.. took me about 40 tries. i am in the second world now

@@giusepezanotti you talking about whiteclad noble?
@@pawpkitty the snake guy in the water i forgot his name
@@giusepezanotti yep that's him. Beat him in 2 tries. I'm going on 20 tries for the bear LOL.
Maybe they made him easier with the patch?
@@pawpkitty that’s why the game was so interesting like some bosses were harder for other people and easier for others
Haven’t had issue with any boss besides this one and he always gets me right at the end. The game will literally lag and he some how will always kill me. Never have gotten so mad in my life
I always die with the drop of framerate in performance mode exactly in his second phase

I've said it before and I'll say it again....
Every purchase of this game comes with its own chinese agent who controls the bosses and f*cks with you
My agent had white clad poppin.
I found that your guide is good. I tried popping the Red tides early on so maybe I could use it twice but it seems like using it puts him into second phase early. He had like 80% health and switched
I also learned this the hard way
Beat it first try after watching this video,it helped a lot.
My pleasure to help
I broke two controllers trying to fight this boss I haven’t beat him yet but I think I need therapy

Glad to help 😄👍
Thanks dude. I went as far as "This boss gives you a fire proof mantle" before i knew what was up. Big help.
THANK YOU😂 I been tryna beat this for a day n I tried this & beat it so easily😭💯🙏🏾
Just got black myth wukong late but this helps out alot thanks for the stats & strats 🥳

Nice work!
Earned that subscribe boss ! Beat him first try after this vid
Cant tell you how much i appreciate that

The bear looks like a Scotchman, the skirt really sells it 😆
Haha indeed
Wtf is a ''scotchman''
Scotsman and a kilt, You’d gets stabbed fir calling it a skirt in Scotland. 🏴

It pisses me off that I had him to within an inch of his life my 2nd try. Haven’t gotten close in about 12 tries. Smh

Hey it would really help if you made à video about how to get spirits because i dont have guidance and I dont know how to get headbutt
Holy shit got it first try after watching this video the fuck
Thank you!!
Can also knock him out of the fire charge thing with Immobilize.
They must have changed his attack. He's not once done that barrel roll thing for me
This was a pain just completed it. I did what they did at the start towards the end I just kept using transformation since i was low on health.
Took me 3 tries on my first play woth your help
Bro i finally beat him thanks
Great work!
@@Elbethium thanks to you bro you know i thougth it was gonna be sekiro hard but it quite easy when you learn to have patience lol

Thank youuuuuu so much
When he is in the “mist” before he attacks there is a pop sound
I can't trigger my fireproof mantle?? I know it's R2 L3 but nothing happens.
This boss was sooooo easy in comparison to the ones before it lol only took me like 3 tries
Actually I was able to clear him in my 4th try. He was nothing when compared to wandering wight and White clad dude. Anyone stuck with this boss just time you dodges and attack him in his blond spot

Idk I breezed through until black bear 😢 I mean I have a good tracking record. Ds3, blood borne, nioh 1 and 2, eluding ring, both remnants, demon souls. Sekiro was only one that I couldn’t finish
When he gets to that fire stage all my frames on ps5 disappear 😭 especially when he’s flying. Cannot tell what he is doing lol
I found this boss extremely easy. Just dodged until he did some sort of belly flop, then i would get a full light attack combo, freeze, and then get full light attack combo. Too speed things up even while he was attacking just stay attacking his ass
Been on this guy for 3 days definitely believe I’m done with it sadly
Bro this bear is cooking my ass like a steak frfr 😭
This bear made me slam my controller against the console, no game has made me tweak this hard i think need a break
Followed it exactly and had no problem so whatever….👍
third tried this guy, i forgot to watch your video sorry, good luck to yall!
Crazy how I beat him on the first try
Fuck mate I hadn’t found the Fire Mantle and was LITERALLY unable to survive the fire flurry EVERY time I tried. Just impossible. Must’ve tried 100 times and still couldn’t survive the 2nd wave of the fire. Saw your video, got the mantle and beat it in 3 attempts 😂. Should be mandatory in my opinion to have it before you can fight the bear tbh.
aahh......you make it look so easy XD
Bro the second phase is trash his range area is so fucking to big
