Runebear

Runebears are enormous bears with strange glowing markings on their chests, much bigger than ordinary bears. They roam forests and caves across the Lands Between, and they hit like a falling tree.

Many players first meet one in the Mistwood Ruins in Limgrave. As a proper boss, one waits at the end of Earthbore Cave on the Weeping Peninsula.

How to beat it

Runebears swipe, bite and throw themselves forward in long lunges. Stay at their side and roll toward their back when they swing. Their running charge covers a lot of ground, so do not back away in a straight line.
