Where can I find perfect pelts for crafting the Legendary Bear Coat?

To craft the Legendary Bear Coat in Red Dead Redemption 2, you need to hunt the Legendary Bear and obtain its perfect pelt. This process involves specific game mechanics, preparation, and execution. Here’s a detailed guide to help you succeed.\n\nFirst, you must unlock the Legendary Bear hunt. This is part of the main story mission "Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego," which occurs in Chapter 2. During this mission, Hosea Matthews will take you hunting for the Legendary Bear near the Grizzlies East region. If you miss this opportunity, you can return to the area later to hunt the bear independently. The Legendary Bear’s location is marked on your map near the O’Creagh’s Run lake, northeast of Valentine.\n\nBefore heading out, ensure you are well-prepared. Equip a powerful rifle, such as the Springfield Rifle or Bolt Action Rifle, as these weapons are ideal for taking down large animals like the Legendary Bear. Additionally, stock up on health tonics, as the bear is a formidable opponent. Use Dead Eye to target its weak spots, such as the head or chest, to maximize damage and ensure a clean kill. A clean kill is essential for obtaining a perfect pelt.\n\nOnce you arrive at the marked location, use Eagle Eye to track the bear. Look for yellow clues, such as scratches on trees or droppings, to locate the bear’s trail. Follow the trail carefully, as the Legendary Bear will eventually appear. Be ready for a fight, as the bear is aggressive and will charge at you. Use Dead Eye to land precise shots and avoid getting too close, as the bear can kill you in a single swipe.\n\nAfter successfully killing the Legendary Bear, skin it to obtain the pelt. The pelt is automatically perfect, as Legendary Animals always yield high-quality materials. However, you must transport the pelt to the Trapper to craft the Legendary Bear Coat. Be cautious while traveling, as losing the pelt due to death or other mishaps will require you to hunt the bear again. The Trapper can be found in Saint Denis, near Riggs Station, or in the wilderness near Strawberry.\n\nCrafting the Legendary Bear Coat requires not only the pelt but also additional materials, such as Perfect Deer Pelts and Perfect Wolf Pelts. These can be obtained by hunting deer and wolves in the wild. Use a bow with Improved Arrows or a rifle with a headshot to ensure perfect pelts. Deer are commonly found in forests and open plains, while wolves roam the Grizzlies and other mountainous regions.\n\nA common challenge players face is losing the Legendary Bear pelt before reaching the Trapper. To avoid this, fast travel to the nearest town and ride directly to the Trapper’s location. Alternatively, store the pelt on your horse and avoid engaging in combat or risky activities until you deliver it. If you lose the pelt, the game will automatically send it to the Trapper after a few in-game days, but this can delay your crafting progress.\n\nIn summary, hunting the Legendary Bear requires preparation, precision, and caution. Equip the right weapons, track the bear carefully, and deliver the pelt to the Trapper to craft the Legendary Bear Coat. By following these steps, you can successfully obtain one of the most iconic outfits in Red Dead Redemption 2.\n\nPractical Tip: Save your game before hunting the Legendary Bear. If something goes wrong, you can reload your save and try again without losing progress.
