How to summon a bear to fight another bear in Avowed (Two Bears High-Fiving achievement)
If you're looking to get all of the achievements in Avowed, then you're going to need to summon a bear to fight another bear. Doing so will unlock the 'Two Bears High-Fiving' achievement in Avowed. It's also just a pretty cool spectacle to sit back and watch, so let me run you through the process. Two Bears High-Fiving achievement guide in Avowed First, you need to be able to summon a bear. This is done by unlocking the 'Bear Ally' ability from the 'Ranger' skill tree. This can only be purchased with one ability point once you reach level 15, so you're not going to be able to do this until you're a good 15-20 hours into the game. Screenshot by Destructoid Now that you can summon a Bear Ally, make your way to Emerald Stair and head to the northeast section of the map, near where the Ranger Headquarters is. Just to the west of this, you'll find a sunken area with shallow water. Alongside some of the mushroom monster enemies, you'll find a bear wandering around here (as long as you've not killed it already). Screenshot by Destructoid Clear out the mushroom enemies yourself and then summon your bear ally. Ideally, summon it as the bear enemy is near you, and they should lock on to one another. Let them fight it out for a bit, occasionally landing an attack or two yourself, and eventually, the achievement should pop. Bear locations in Avowed If you've already killed the bear northwest of the Ranger Headquarters, there are some others you've hopefully not killed yet (as enemies don't respawn). I advise searching around the west of Emerald Stair, near the Rock Arch Beascon fast travel point just east of The Delemgan Glade. Screenshot by Destructoid Here, you'll find two bears among other enemies that can be killed. The further you venture into Dalamagn territory toward the queen, you'll encounter some other bears, so this can be a good area to search. Alternatively, go back to Dawnshore and explore the forest areas to the east of the main city and the map in general. Specifically, visit the wooded areas on the map around Yellowband Camp, east of the Shrine to Woedica, and south of the Emerald Stair Gatehouse. I've circled each of these in red on the map screenshot below. Screenshot by Destructoid I found a few bears wandering around these locations and given you don't have to venture out this way for any main quests, there's a good chance you'll find a bear that you've not yet killed. Alternatively, you'll find a bear or two wandering the forest areas in the Overgrown Frontier on the west side of the Dawnshore map. All bear ally upgrades You can also make it easier to unlock this achievement by purchasing the Rank 2 and Rank 3 upgrades for the Bear Ally ability. I've listed each of these, when they're unlocked, and what they do below. Rank 2 (unlocked at level 15): Your bear ally roars when summoned, taunting enemies and increasing the damage it deals. Rank 3 (unlocked at level 20): Increases the duration of your bear ally summon by 15 seconds. By increasing its damage and the duration your bear ally will stick around for, you've got more chance of your bear actually engaging in a fight with another bear, and dealing heftier damage that should register to unlock the achievement. I managed to get it without either upgrade, but if you're having problems, this should help you out. That's everything you need to know on how to summon a bear to fight another bear in Avowed. For more help on your adventures across the living lands, we've got guides on where to find the Voice's memory in Dawnshore and Shatterscarp, as well as how to get Paradisan Ladder, Hylea's Talon, and Admeth's Wyrt.
