Revision 2

Overview

The White Bear is a legendary bear mount introduced in Patch 1.01.00 of Crimson Desert. It is widely regarded as the best combat mount in the game, boasting massive stats of 1,500 HP and 180 Attack. The White Bear is one of three legendary animal mounts added in the patch, alongside the Silver Fang and Snowwhite Deer. Two boss-obtained mounts, the Rock Tusk Warthog and Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex, complete the legendary mount roster.

The White Bear is a premium battle tank. Its enormous HP pool lets it absorb tremendous punishment, while its 180 Attack stat allows it to deal devastating damage. It has multiple attack patterns including an AoE stun roar and its own equivalent of a turning slash. When dismounted, the bear automatically fights nearby enemies and handles being surrounded well. In the early game, the White Bear can practically solo bosses on its own due to its raw power. The trade-off is speed: it is the slowest of all five legendary mounts in straight-line movement, making it a poor choice for long-distance travel.

Stats

The White Bear has the highest HP and Attack of any legendary mount. Its stats are fixed and do not level up.

How to Obtain

The White Bear is found in the top-left area of the world map, to the left of Silver Wolf Mountain. It spawns next to her two cubs. The bear is not aggressive by default but will fight when attacked.

Defeat the White Bear in combat, then skin it to obtain a crafting item. Fire is always useful when hunting legendary animals. Take the item to a Witch NPC. Under "Craft Abyss Gear," go to the special items tab and craft a sigil. Consuming the sigil permanently registers the White Bear as a summonable mount.

If you killed the White Bear before the patch that introduced permanent legendary mounts, the required crafting item will be automatically added to your inventory when you launch the game.

Abilities and Combat

The White Bear has the richest combat kit of any mount in the game. Its abilities include:

• Multiple Melee Attacks: The bear has several attack patterns that the rider can trigger, including its own equivalent of a turning slash. These deal heavy damage and can hit multiple enemies in a wide arc.

• AoE Stun Roar: The bear unleashes a powerful roar that stuns all enemies in the surrounding area. This is invaluable when surrounded, giving the player time to reposition or land free hits on stunned targets.

• Autonomous Combat: When the player dismounts, the White Bear automatically engages nearby enemies. It handles being surrounded well, using its attacks independently. This makes it an extremely effective combat companion.

• Standard Jump: The bear's jump is functional but nothing special. It clears basic obstacles but lacks the bounding agility of the Snowwhite Deer or the Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex.

With 180 Attack, the White Bear can practically kill bosses on its own during the early game. Pair it with Healing Force Palm to keep the bear topped up during extended fights. This combination allows the player to let the bear tank and deal damage while the player supports with healing and ranged attacks.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

• Highest HP of any mount at 1,500; can absorb enormous amounts of damage

• Highest Attack at 180; capable of killing early-game bosses practically solo

• AoE stun roar provides crowd control against groups of enemies

• Autonomous combat when dismounted; handles being surrounded effectively

• Multiple attack patterns give versatile offensive options while mounted

• Permanent summonable mount; available anywhere at any time

Weaknesses:

• Slowest of all five legendary mounts in straight-line speed; terrible for long-distance travel

• Only 180 Stamina limits extended sprinting

• Jump is merely adequate; poor at navigating complex terrain compared to deer or ibex

• Large hitbox can make it unwieldy in tight spaces

• Overkill for basic encounters; a faster mount is more practical for everyday exploration
