The Captured Bear is a temporary ground mount in Crimson Desert. These bears have been captured and trained by various factions across Pywel, making them slightly more docile than their wild counterparts. Despite this, the Captured Bear still functions as a temporary mount that cannot be stored at stables or summoned on demand.
With 1,000 HP and moderate offensive stats, the Captured Bear sits in the middle of the bear mount hierarchy. It is weaker than the Black Bear and Grizzly Bear variants but still provides a solid combat platform for mounted engagements. Players typically encounter Captured Bears being ridden by faction soldiers or kept in cages at enemy encampments.

The Captured Bear has the same stats as the standard wild Bear mount. Its 1,000 HP and 120 attack are decent but fall short of the 1,500 HP found on Black Bears and Grizzly Bears.
Captured Bears can be obtained from faction encampments and patrols where soldiers ride or keep bears in captivity:
Locate faction soldiers riding Captured Bears on patrol routes or stationed at encampments.
Engage and defeat the rider in combat. Focus attacks on the soldier rather than the bear itself.
Once the rider is defeated, the bear will be temporarily stunned or disoriented.
Approach quickly and press the ride button to mount the bear before it recovers and becomes hostile.
Alternatively, some Captured Bears are found in cages at enemy camps. Destroying the cage releases the bear, which can then be subdued and ridden using the standard bear-mounting process.

Captured Bears share the same combat moveset as other bear mounts:
Claw swipe attacks dealing heavy frontal damage to nearby enemies.
Body slam that staggers enemies in a small radius around the bear.
High health pool (1,000 HP) allows the bear to serve as a damage sponge during extended fights.
Kliff can attack with his own weapons while riding, combining his damage with the bear's for effective mounted combat.
The Captured Bear shares identical stats with the standard wild Bear mount (1,000 HP, 120 attack, 165 stamina). For a stronger option, seek out a Black Bear or Grizzly Bear, which offer 1,500 HP and 180 attack. The Clawed Bear is another high-tier bear variant with 1,500 HP.
Focus on eliminating the rider first. Ranged attacks work well for picking off the soldier without tanking bear damage.
Once the rider is down, mount the bear quickly before it regains its bearings.
Use the Captured Bear to clear the remaining soldiers at the encampment for an efficient approach to faction encounters.
If you need a stronger bear mount, look for wild Black Bears or Grizzly Bears in forested and mountainous regions.
