Tips

The bear is aggressive and will stalk you relentlessly. Use the ziplines to help you gain distance and shoot.
When the pyres are doused, prioritize relighting them to continue the fight and eventually gain powerful fist attacks.
The newly acquired 'Wrath' Perk can be problematic as it activates with the right analog stick, potentially causing you to use fists unintentionally during firefights.
