Where to find the Ferocious Bear boss in V Rising?

The Ferocious Bear is located in Bear Cave in the shadow of the Hallowed Mountains, towards the southeastern border of the Farbane Woods.

Before you head to the area however, we’d recommend reaching at least Level 36 in the game if you want to stand a fighting chance against the beast.

How to defeat the Ferocious Bear boss in V Rising?

The ferocious Bear can deal powerful splash damage in battle, and defeating it won’t be a walk in the park. Here’s a rundown of exactly how to best this creature, starting with the best gear and abilities you should take into battle.

• Nightstalker Armor
• A copper weapon
• Veil of Chaos (Travel)
• Aftershock (Basic 1)
• Blood Rite (Basic 2)

You can take down this boss using either melee or ranged attacks. However, we’d recommend choosing a ranged form of attack for dodging easily during difficult situations.

First Phase

The first phase in V Rising doesn’t reveal much about how this boss operates. Since the Ferocious Bear is huge in size, its movements are slow but if she hits you, you’ll feel it.

You need to be aware when it’s on its hind legs and try to evade it as soon as the red circle intensifies. Get as far away as possible because each attacked will be followed by more slams and this is where a ranged approach is ideal.

In this phase, the Bear can also get up close to you and try to obliterate and a shield will be handy in such situations in case you’re unable to escape.

Second Phase

The second phase will unleash the Bear’s ultimate power. Along with the previous attacks, it’ll go into  Rage mode with faster movement speeds preventing you from dodging enraged attacks.

You’ll either need to use a shield to block the attack or use Veil of Chaos to travel to a different location within her den. During this time, it may even run up to a close range and try to stun you. If it maneuvers this attack during enraged mode, you’ll be instantly wiped.

After all of this, the Bear will be vulnerable to attacks and if played wisely, you’ll be able to defeat it from a distance.
