Trial of the Hermit requires you to slay 10 Great Bears promoted by Grizzly End.

 

This is something of an annoyance, not because it is difficult to kill them but because Great Bears are pretty damn rare. Even on a thorough completionist playthrough a player is only likely to come across 3 or 4.

 

That leaves a few possibilities.

 

1. You are supposed to farm for it. I really hope that this is not the case.

 

2. The kill count stacks across playthroughs. Character A kills 3, character B kills 3 and character C kills 4, bam achievement unlocked.

 

Who here has it? Do you think it may work as in 2? Do you know for a fact that it doesn't?

 

I wouldn't have thought it worked that way, but I just completed my second playthrough of Trespasser. I found the only one of the Lateral Thinker caches that my first character had missed and instantly got the achievement, despite not having found all of the caches yet with that second character.

I have the achievement. All it took was a couple of short walks in the Emerald Graves. I guess I was lucky, I got three bears within a few minutes near the western astrarium.

 

I suppose it is plausible that the count is cumulative.

I am pretty sure it is per playthrough. i had two going at one and didn't get it until one character killed ten. But, you kill 3 in hinterlands as a sidequest and both emerald graves and emprise have spawn locations for them. so it's very easy to kill them all.

I'm pretty sure it's per playthrough. Also, I'm thinking that Old Scarred Paw and cubs don't count.

It says Great Bears. Im pretty sure the ones in the Hinterlands are just Good Bears.

If you turn the trial on at the start of the game you'll get 3 for Bergrit's Claws in the Hinterlands. Then just roam around the river in Emerald Graves. I loaded up a end game save and it took less than an hour of farming.

According to dragonage.wikia.com, the great bears in the Hinterlands don't count. The site says only the ones in Emerald Graves and Emprise du Lion count. Are they wrong? Wouldn't be the first time so I wouldn't be surprised.

I think the trial achievements are hella buggy. Hell, i got the rest easy achievement for just capturing suledin keep. The trial was never on.

Let me clarify. I was playing on the XB1 with the progress bar snapped. It did count Bergrit''s bears for me but not the bear and cubs in the cave. Whether this is true for PS4 or PC I can't say. It does have to be on one playthrough but doesn't take long. Unless the information on the wikia came directly from the devs themselves its validity is suspect. I use it as a guide maybe nothing more.

There are ALWAYS Great Bears in Emprise Du Lion near the start, by the frozen river. You can sometimes get 4 or 5 to spawn before having to zone/reset.

Not always, I've done several playthroughs in which I've gone there multiple times without seeing a single bear.

I didn't get the Trial of the Hermit after killing the three Begritt's Bears (actually, there were 5 Begritt's Bears because more kept spawning before I had time to pick up the claws from the first 3, but that's a story for another day) plus enough Emerald Graves great bears to bring the total to 10. It didn't ping until I killed 10 great bears in the Emerald Graves themselves, excluding Old Scarred Paw & Cubs. It wasn't hard to do, though. Two spawned almost immediately by Aragon's Lodge, another spawned up by that wolf landmark north of Briathos Steps camp, one spawned up by the logging site (the one with the unfinished limerick), and the rest between the Parson's Notebook waterfall and Chateau d'Onterre along the river. It isn't as if the Emerald Graves has any shortage of great bears. I love that place.
