Mike23Ua Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Bearger does what Woodie can do in a matter of seconds. Bearger requires certain time of year & kiting, Woodie requires spawning into map and going ham. For *Wendy to achieve the same level of forest destruction as Woodie she needs that Bearger. Then Theres Wormwood who loses Sanity while chopping tree’s so Bearger is his best friend when it comes to not suffering massive sanity lost & gathering tons of wood.

Doesn't Wormwood also lose sanity in a form of negative sanity aura whenever plants/trees nearby get destroyed? I think they also stack up the more destruction around him happens.

Notecja Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Deerclops can be lumberjack too, just worse. Basically is as asking for trees to be invincible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pe Dabliu Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I think that all the RoG bosses weren't much of a threat in DST and needed some kind of rework like dfly and moose got. I don't really care about bearger, his drops are terrible, so he's more useful alive anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omg your missing out! that game is so chalk full of content: And it has two dlc expansions that are compatible with the vanilla game (yes you can totally play through adventures mode as Walani from Shipwrecked) you should at least check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In DST he's by far the most dangerous thing that comes for you, since Dragonfly no longer does. Compare him to the other season's threats. Autumn's Bearger: 6000 HP, 100 damage, 3 second delay between attacks, -400/m sanity aura, has a charge and slam attack. Winter's Deerclops: 4000 HP, 75 damage, 4 second delay between attacks, -400/m sanity aura, has no special attacks. Spring's Nothing: Summer's Sinkholes: I think it's like 50 damage or something but it's really easy to dodge and only happens a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evalora Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 technically that list is missing some details like deerclops possibly getting a free hit if tagging you too many times (freeze is its 'special attack' and laser deerclops is awful) or bearger's attack cooldown resetting after a slam, or how the real spring giant that insists on haranguing you is made of frogs i'm not even sure bearger counts anymore, the only seasonal bosses that actively have it out for you are deerclops/antlion, bearger isn't outright hostile in dst and mostly just follows you around with a 25% strength sanity aura, long as not got the honey goods anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearger wants to eat food and hibearnate, but you have food and your base has food so he's a problem. Deerclops wants to smash a bunch of structures then despawn, but your base is made out of structures so he's a problem. In DSA Dragonfly wants to burn random stuff so it becomes ash so she can eat, but your base is flammable so she's a problem. Moosegoose just chills at her nest and eats food nearby, but if your base is nearby she's a problem for the same reason as Bearger. Arguably Antlion has it out for you, I guess, but only because you aren't giving him tribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Vsauce music] No one forces you to use/bait Bearger into "lumberjacking". Kite it "like @ pr0" for ..not-really-useful loot after the first 2 Bears take-downs. Or retire him via teleportation on some Lunar Island for all eternity to not have his shenanigans anymore. 56 minutes ago, Well-met said: all he needed was his old charge ability back and he got it. I believe It has it, was reintroduced a couple of updates ago. Is pretty fun, adrenaline-inducing indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evalora Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 given even near nothing of note when deerclops spawns it will (usually, in lieu of distractions like pig houses) specifically walk up to you into aggro range, at least initially before getting bored and wandering around i would posit that deerclops is very much out to get you, indirectly or not (pays more attention to structures, especially clusters of them, and initially targets those if near them) in dst anyway the only boss that will beeline for your base if you're just hanging around that waiting for them to spawn (and thus enabling such) is deerclops, bearger has to be pretty close to detect and desire food stored (beebox an exception there but there's an incentive to just plunk your boxes in the nearest cave, they're quite nice to have unloaded for days at a time as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spino43 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 He is pretty much a boss already. imo he is more dangerous than deerclops, due to hitting harder, has more health, and has slam and charge attack. If you really want him to be an actual boss, just mod and remove his charge attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoByrd Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 IDK what you mean by "actual boss" here since there are multiple different bosses with wildly varying difficulties. Personally, I think Bearger is fine as is. Isn't it already the most powerful of the seasonal bosses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosePapp Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I like his design. He, along with moose goose, is one of the most beliavable wildlife bosses. He just chills around stealing food and killing anything that happens to be dumb enough to face it. He also doesn't despawn but rather hibernates in colder seasons and wanders during warmer seasons. He's pretty neat! If anything it's believable you can trick such a big brute into doing lumberjack work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
