Red Dead Online reports bear maulings in Big Valley, sighting of the Golden Spirit Bear, and more.

Fun fact, I’ve actually seen a bear in the wild. Now you can see the Golden Spirit Bear in-game.

Keep your wits about you: the bodies of poachers have been found mauled by the massive Golden Spirit Bear in Big Valley. It is known for its thick, golden-blonde coat – captivating to the eye and prized by poachers alike. Talk to Harriet to launch the Sighting Mission but be forewarned: any encounter with this beast could turn fatal at a moment’s notice.

Sample or Kill the Golden Spirit Bear to receive an Offer for 50% off an Established or Higher Naturalist Item and bring its pelt back to Gus’ Trapper Store for a lush, custom coat made of the bear’s coveted fur.

While you are visiting Harriet, you may want to pick up the latest Vitalism Studies Pamphlet and start gathering Harrietum Officinalis to complete your transformation into a wild boar.
