Spirit of the Bear is one of the Wild-type Azmeri Spirits in Path of Exile 2. It grants powerful defensive and stun-focused bonuses, making it ideal for tanky or crowd-control builds. This guide provides a detailed breakdown of its effects in both Spirit-Influenced and Spirit Possessed states.

General Information

Azmeri Spirit	Spirit of the Bear

Bear-Touched grants strong survivability and stun capabilities. It is ideal for builds that focus on tanking and controlling enemies by stunning them repeatedly. The increased stun threshold makes it easier to trigger stuns even against powerful foes.

To fully benefit from the Spirit of the Bear, players may need to invest in high-quality gear and upgrades using PoE 2 Currency. Items with stun-related modifiers or increased life scaling can greatly enhance the spirit's effects. Additionally, trading for a Bear Talisman or spirit-specific gear through the in-game economy ensures better synergy with your build.

Special Effect	Periodically summons a spiritual Bear that uses slam attacks

Hunted by the Great Bear is the advanced state of spirit possession. It not only retains all the stun and life benefits from Bear-Touched but also provides significant damage mitigation. The summoned spiritual Bear deals area damage with slam attacks, adding offensive pressure during combat and helping to control mobs with high health pools.
