You bring me the Old Bear's ear, and I'll get you out of here. I will give you everything you need to find your friend.{{#if:Jeremiah|

The Old Bear's Ear was a Collectible item found in Episode 2: Luminance Fugue of the Wintermute story mode as part of the mission Jeremiah's Folly. It is considered Cut/Discontinued Content, as it did not survive the transition from Predux Episode 2 to Redux Episode 2, as Jeremiah's Folly was instead replaced with the mission What One Man Can Do.

Overview

It was obtained after successfully tracking and shooting the Old Bear multiple times in Mystery Lake, and finally killing the bear. After interacting with the carcass of The Old Bear, the bear's ear would instantly appear and could be taken. It would later be taken to Jeremiah as proof that Will Mackenzie managed to kill the Old Bear.
