What’s the easiest way to complete the "Bearly Legal" trophy for hunting Legendary Bears?

The ''Bearly Legal'' trophy in Red Dead Redemption 2 requires you to hunt and skin the Legendary Bear, one of the most challenging and rewarding tasks in the game. To unlock this trophy, you must successfully track, kill, and skin the Legendary Bear, which is part of the game''s hunting mechanics. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, including tips to make the hunt easier and avoid common pitfalls.\n\nFirst, you need to unlock the Legendary Bear hunt. This is done during Chapter 2 of the story, specifically in the mission ''Exit Pursued by a Bruised Ego.'' Hosea Matthews, a member of the Van der Linde gang, will take you to a hunting area near the Grizzlies East region. During this mission, you''ll encounter the Legendary Bear, but it will escape. After completing the mission, the bear becomes available for hunting in the open world.\n\nTo begin the hunt, travel to the area marked on your map near the Grizzlies East, just north of O''Creagh''s Run. The exact location is near the ''Bear Claw'' icon on the map. Before heading out, ensure you are well-prepared. Equip a powerful rifle, such as the Rolling Block Rifle or the Springfield Rifle, as these weapons deal high damage and are ideal for taking down large animals. Additionally, stock up on health tonics, as the bear can inflict significant damage if it gets too close.\n\nOnce you arrive at the hunting area, use Eagle Eye to track the bear. Look for yellow clues, such as scratches on trees, fur, or droppings. Follow these clues until you locate the bear. Be cautious, as the Legendary Bear is aggressive and will charge at you if it detects your presence. To avoid being caught off guard, stay on high ground or behind cover, and use Dead Eye to target its weak points, such as the head or chest.\n\nAfter killing the bear, approach it carefully and skin it to complete the trophy. Skinning the bear will also reward you with the Legendary Bear Pelt, which can be sold to a Trapper or used to craft unique items. If you die during the hunt, the bear will respawn after a few in-game days, so don''t worry about losing your progress.\n\nOne common challenge players face is the bear''s aggressive behavior. To counter this, use cover effectively and keep your distance. If the bear charges, use Dead Eye to slow time and land critical shots. Another tip is to bring a horse with high stamina and bonding level, as this will allow you to escape quickly if needed.\n\nFinally, remember that the Legendary Bear is a one-time hunt. Once you''ve skinned it, the trophy will unlock, and you can move on to other challenges. For an easier experience, consider upgrading your weapons and abilities before attempting the hunt. With patience and preparation, the ''Bearly Legal'' trophy is well within your reach.
