CraiggerBear Locations - Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart Guide - IGN (2024)

This page of IGN’s Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart guide is all about the CraiggerBears, including their locations and a step-by-step guide on how to find all 9 CraiggerBears.

The CraiggerBears are linked to the “UnBEARably Awesome” Gold Trophy. They’re the only Collectible in the game that aren’t marked on the map when you pass by or are revealed by the Map-o-Matic. They offer no in-game reward, and with one possible exception they are all located on the main path and not hidden in obscure locations.

If you’re having trouble locating them, you can use the filters in the Accessibility Menu to highlight them a specific colour. This can then be mapped to the D-Pad to turn on and off quickly.

The CraiggerBears honor Craig Goodman, an artist at Insomniac Games who worked on Ratchet, Sunset Overdrive and Spider-Man. He passed away in October 2019, and by January 2020, the CraiggerBears were created as soft, cuddly friends with a big heart.

How to Find All 9 CraiggerBear Locations in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Nefarious City CraiggerBear Location

The first CraiggerBear of the game is found during the search for Club Nefarious after you meet the Mrs. Zurkon of Rivet’s Dimension. When you get to the orange Club Nefarious sign, look left and head down the stairs. Directly in front of you will be a stall with a purple awning with 667 printed on it, tended to by a round green robot. The CraiggerBear will be on the stall directly in front of him.

Sargasso CraiggerBear Location

The Sargasso CraiggerBear is found in Rivet’s Hideout, however you won’t get a chance to grab it until after you take out the Seekerpede that abducts Clank. Once you’ve done that, return to the Hideout at any time: the CraiggerBear will be on the purple couch in the middle of the room.

To find Rivet's Hideout outside of the main campaign missions, just fly to the northwestern portion of the map (use the Pocket Dimension as a guide), land, and then follow the path of switches on the ground that you had to previously activate to get inside the building. Inside, jump up the boxes to the left and you're at the entrance of Rivet's pad.

Zurkie's CraiggerBear Location

The CraiggerBear for Zurkie’s can be found in the reception area where your weapons are taken away. It can be on top of the metal box on the left side of the reception desk.

Savali CraiggerBear Location

The Savali CraiggerBear is unique because it’s the only one that isn’t found on the “main path”, since Savali doesn’t really have one. You can find it at the Mountain Temple early into the Gauntlet of Trials / Doom. This is where you had to quickly Hoverboot across the makeshift floating rock bridges before they fell out from under you.

If you're returning after finishing this mission, here's where to go:

Just head east from your ship to go to the largest mesa, find the bridge, jump across the gaps and go to the trial gate area, shown on the map above. Once you step through, the rock bridge will form and you can speed across to the destination area.

After you Hoverboot across the first rock bridge, instead of taking a right to start along the second bridge, head around the wooden fence in front of you and down to the end of the lower area. The CraiggerBear will be here in front of some pots.

Blizar Prime CraiggerBear Location

The Blizar Prime CraiggerBear can be found early into the main path. From your starship, hit the Blizon Crystal to go to the Intact Dimension, then head inside the room and hit the next Blizon Crystal to go back to the Ruined one. From here, traverse the Gravity Strips until you get back inside, and hit the Blizon Crystal to return to the Intact Dimension again. The CraiggerBear will be here, on a pile of orange junk at the base of the rock wall due North of the Blizon Crystal, and close to a view outside.

Torren IV CraiggerBear Location

The CraiggerBear for Torren IV is located in the Little Junktown market street. From where you land after swinging over from your ship, head forward and keep an eye out for the CraiggerBear on your right. It’ll be on a stall with lots of TVs with an orange awning, not too far from Mrs. Zurkon.

Cordelion CraiggerBear Location

The Cordelion CraiggerBear is located very early into the level. From your ship, head to the top of the tower and hit the Blizon Crystal to warp to the Ruined Dimension. Head back out and slide back down the ramps: the CraiggerBear will be on your left, in a pile of snow just past some debris and a crate. In other words, North-East of the central elevator that goes into Kedaro Station.

Ardolis CraiggerBear Location

The Ardolis CraiggerBear is located at the end of the Pirate Trials. It’ll be in the back end of the room to the right of the door out, sitting next to a treasure chest and a fake puddle of water. If you didn't catch it as part of your first visit to this area, here's a reminder where the Pirate Trials are located:

You can "speedle" your way to the entrance from the beach area (if you warp to the central marketplace, just jump and over down to the rickety pier from the second pirate ship, if you're having issues finding it. Jump on your bug companion and follow the arrows and ramps.

Once in the pirate challenge, take the elevator and just hop across the walkways and the moving boats to the exit. The bear is sitting on the ground.

Viceron CraiggerBear Location

The final CraiggerBear in the game is found in the room where you recover Clank and free the Resistance (including Phantom and Captain Quasar). Specifically it’s in their cell, almost directly across from where Clank was kept.

It's easy to get lost on this map, but the Zordoom Prison area you're looking for isn't the large, two-level prison complex, but the earlier cellblock with the tractor beam that held Clank. Refer to the above Viceron map to find your CraiggerBear.
