'This is my problem. There's a lot of bears in the north woods. Usually, I have no trouble with them. You just stay out of their way, and they'll stay out of yours, so to speak. But I have a big woodpile I've spent some time gathering, and a really big black bear has decided its the perfect place for him and his kind to live.

'The big black bear is very dangerous, and I can't get near my wood-pile anymore. If you can help me out by getting rid of it so I can get at my wood, I'll be happyt to make up a parcel of charcoal for your friend Hyacinth.

'My woodpile is almost due north of here, past the wall and a small logging camp. You'll probably find that black bear right on top of it.'

Background

A big black bear has decided to make Hart Holeman's woodpile its home, causing Hart no end of trouble.

Objectives

Objective 1

Hart Holeman's woodpile is to the north, beyond the wall and a small logging camp.

Hart Holeman is willing to provide the charcoal Hyacinth Took requested, but first he wants you to drive off a big black bear that has made his woodpile its home.

Objective 2

Hart Holeman is at his home in the centre of Overhill.

Hart Holeman had asked you to deal with the big black bear that had taken up residence in his woodpile, while he put together a parcel of charcoal for Hyacinth Took. He will be pleased to learn that the bear will no longer trouble him.

Objective 3

Hyacinth Took is in Tuckborough near the Great Smials.

While you were away, dealing with the big black bear at Hart Holeman's woodpile, Hart was busy putting together a parcel of charcoal for you to take back to Hyacinth Took.

Notes

The woodpile is on the eastern side of the Bindbole Wood, near the waterfall.

The Big Black Bear is a level nine signature enemy. He can be defeated solo, but make sure you clear the surrounding bears first.
