Track the bear down | Day 2 Alpha Polaris Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Traditionally, awaken by Tully (it doesn't matter which dialog option you choose), leave the room and go outside the station. Head to the cage with the bear (to the right).
It turns out, that the bear ripped the cage open and run away being hurt. You have to track her down. In order to do so you have to determine in which direction she went. After conversation with Tully, who generously agreed to lend Rune a snowmobile, take closer look at the cage.
Return to your room to get necessary stuff. Take a laptop (computer) from a bookcase and a triangulation device lying next to it.
Go to the lobby (through the garage) and take a TACS-12 rifle from the weapon rack. Head towards the cage now.
There are blood tracks in front of the cage - Rune will notice that the bear went northwards. Get near the cage - in order to be close just click on a building roof behind the cage. Now turn back to the cage - in order to do so click LMB (even if it is not active) on the closest blood track.
Standing in this position, open your bag and examine your current location using a multitool with compass (click RMB on it). You'll notice you current heading (in degrees) at the bottom of the screen. Results can vary, but in my case it was 268.
Now connect a computer and a triangulation device together. Turn on the computer (LMB). Being on the screen select an icon to the right (double-click) - Triangulator. Next you need to enter (from your keyboard) some data. As you can see these are a bear collar id and (lower) heading (you've just checked it).
A collar id can be found in Rune's bookmark (close triangulator window for a moment), so open it on a firs bookmark (Bear thesis). A collar id of this particular bear is last on the list to the left: AOL339.
Turn on the computer again, click on the Triangulator icon (2xLMB) and enter the collar id: AOL339 and the heading: 268. Click the 'PLOT 1' button. Now it should be checked with red color. Read the command in a status field below. You have to walk 15 steps without changing direction.
Turn off the laptop and click a place in front of Rune. When he starts to walk, count his steps (15) and stop him by clicking under his feet when he makes the last step.
Check his heading on the compass (same as previously). Turn on the laptop, run Triangulator and enter a new heading (in my case it was 270). Now click the 'PLOT 2' button.
This is enough to get current position of the bear. Head right to the western part of the station where you can find a snowmobile. Start it and watch the cut-scene.
