"Monster" from Epilogue 2 & Grin & Bear It

[Shurtugal389]

Is it possible to kill the huge bear from Epilogue 2?  Also, why is it that I sometimes drain my entire health almost instantly and die when trying to break from a Grizzly attack 1/3 of the time?  Is it possible that I'm mashing too fast?  This is my second to last offline achievement.

The bear in the story mission?  No, I don't think it's possible to kill that one as part of the mission.

I think Arthur is simply better than John at fighting off bears.

Thanks.  I thought so, too.  I did manage to unlock that achievement a few hours ago, and I do think that I was pressing B faster than the game could recognize because I didn't notice the prompt reacting to each input.  I slowed it down by pressing it with my thumb instead of rapid firing it with my finger for the third prompt, and it worked just about every time.  Took about 2 hours for the past 13 or so bears by saving and reloading.  I'm not sure if the kind of knife mattered, but since I switched to my default hunting knife from the ornate one, I had a much better success rate.
