    Far cry primal Great Scar Bear Glitch

    While hunting the great scar bear I found another cave entrance around where the fight was taking place. I was then notified that I completed the mission however I had not killed the bear yet. I returned to the bear fight and continued fighting him but his Heath bar disappeared and no matter how much damage I dealt he would not die. In order to maybe reset the mission I purposely let the great scar bear kill me. However when I respawned the mission was gone but in my animal summoning page I still can't access the great scar bear .

    similiar bug

    hi, i also have trouble with this mission. i manage to kill the bear, but i was not able to tame him, instead he was shown as a dead cave bear. instead of taming the button only offered to skin him.
    now i cannot retry the mission (it's not showing up on my map, even restarting etc did not help).
    playing on xbox one.

    Same problem

    Great Scar Beast fell off a cliff while I was fighting him. He died, quest completed, no trophy and couldn't tame him. Fix coming?

    Hi there,

    did you have a look to the know issues? especially this one :
    [Bug / Glitch] Epic / Falling Epic animals can sometimes fall of cliffs and die, making them un-tameable.
    Error description: Epic animals can sometimes fall off cliffs and die, leaving the user unable to tame them
    Workaround: Fast travel out of Beast Master Hunts area and then back, in order to retry.

    I tried this. It doesn't work if the mission is considered complete, which is what happened to me with the Scar Bear. I was given a new waypoint to follow after the bear drowned (it fell into the crevice) after being told that the bear had healed. I followed it, foolishly assuming that it had respawned, only to be met with the mission complete message.

    There is no Beast Master Hunt for me to go back to, because the game thinks I have already done it. And obviously it is still unavailable on my beast list, with no related trophies unlocked.

    I have the same issue as Greig91, My beast fell and died and then said it had healed. I was then given a new objective to find the beast's den. I found the den and the beast was not there. I fast traveled to my camp and then back again, no beast. The map does not have the beast master hunt icon on it anymore. I got messages that I completed the hunt but, did not get the achievements and did not get to tame the beast.

    I checked my Beast Master Hunt progress in the cave and oddly it's still at 3/4 (tiger, wolf, mammoth) despite me receiving the mission complete message for the bear as I mentioned before. So the game knows that I haven't really completed it, but obviously the mission marker (and the mission) is just gone.

    Broken Bear

    Xbox one - Day 1 patch -

    I second having issues with this quest/mission. I followed though the quest and successfully killed the bear. Instead of being prompted to tame the bear I was prompted with the option to skin the bear. The top left of the screen displayed the step of tame the beast before it healed. I hung out in the cave for a bit and the bear de-spawned. I tried fast travel, and quit, then return to the site. The bear did not re-spawn, and the dead bear is missing. I did get the mission complete flag, but I could not tame the guy. Any fix for this? The "known issue" work around did not solve this and did not seem to apply to this instance.

    Unable to tame Great Scar Bear

    Far Cry Primal (PS4)

    I was doing the mission to tame the Great Scar Bear, getting its health down so I could tame it, when all of a sudden a sabertooth tiger comes out of nowhere and starts attacking the bear. I had set the bear on fire just before the sabertooth tiger showed up, but once the sabertooth tiger started attacking it, it died unnaturally quick. I tried to tame it but it said it was healing, and the only prompt that came up was to skin it. I wandered away from it, thinking it may get back up after it healed itself, but instead it disappeared and respawned back to where it originally was when the mission started.

    I figured I could then just run up to it and try to down it again, but when I got there, it was dead and I couldn't do anything. I left the area, hoping it had just glitched out and would correct itself later, so I started another Wenja mission and then, instead of completing the mission, instead went to take over a nearby Bonfire location. On my way up to the bonfire, I got a mission failed notification for the Wenja mission I started and then I had gotten a mission complete notification for the great scar bear mission. Now the great scar bear was gone from my map and I was getting worried, so I went back to my village thinking I could get the mission again, but instead I got the cutscene that comes after completing the 3 hunts. I am now unable to tame the great scar bear to get the pet/trophy

    Yes... please fix this with some kind of update check...

    I was killed by my sabertooth when I was trying to tame the bear as I guess somehow I had hit it during the melee... as a result the mission ended and logged success but no taming of the bear. When going back no bear, no mission, sigh... Should be easy enough to fix by checking if you have both the mission and the flag set to be able to tame the bear so you can either reset the mission to do again as incomplete (assuming the person hasn't progressed too far in the missions somehow) or just flip the done on the bear so the achievement can hopefully pop (if there is one). I'd prefer to redo the mission if I can't find another scar bear anywhere as I'm trying for 100% and this is a bad taste if it stops the whole thing.

    Edited: Ouch... looks like it may be holding up at least the Taming, Beast Master and the Achievement from what I can tell.

    Editedx2: NVM... it looks like all it stops is the one achievement which is annoying but I'll see if I can speed run to it and try it again.
