Yetis vs. Bears

[Murreth 33]

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has any experience using Bears to attack Yetis, just curious if they hold their own against them or if it's just a waste of a bear.

Thanks for your time.

I tried it and it is efficent, bear will push yeti back so he is hitting not every attack. I used bear lvl 60 and it took me 1/5 health to bring down one yeti

Yup, bears work just fine. If you have the taming perks, taking on 2 or 3 at a time with a 50'ish lvl bear is doable.  It just takes a while as yeti have a lot of hp.  The trick is to get the bear to higher ground so it knocks the yeti back further when it attacks.  The biggest problem is when a yeti decides to run.  Chasing them down can be interesting.

Just put a cannon cart on your bear with an npc and some grapeshot.  It like 1-2 shots everything.  Just run around let the npc kill everything

Cool, thanks all!

Even a mid level bear will take out an alpha if you park the bear on a slope and keep hitting the bear with the right timing.  It'll take a while, but definitely doable.  The bear has a great knockback with each attack.
