The CraiggerBears were created in honor of Craig Goodman, an Insomniac Games artist who had previously worked on Ratchet & Clank, but passed away in late 2019. They are the only collectible in the game not marked on your map when you pass them, and they provide no real benefit outside of the trophy they earn you.
All but one CraiggerBear are located along the main path of progression, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t easy to miss.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart CraiggerBear Locations
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart CraiggerBear #1
The first CraiggerBear can be collected after you meet Mrs. Zurkon of Rivet’s Dimensions.
You will eventually come to an orange “Club Nefarious” sign as you search for the club. Once you come to this sign, take a left and go down the stairs to find a stall with a purple awning and a green robot. Directly across from this robot will be a stall with the bear.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart CraiggerBear #2
The next Craiggerbear can be found in Rivet’s Hideout.
You will not be able to collect it at first, as you have to take care of the Seekerpede who abducts Clank before you can snag it. After doing so, you can return to Rivet’s Hideout and grab the CraiggerBear off of the purple couch.
You can return to the hideout by following the same path of switches you had previously flipped to get inside, then jumping up the boxes at the end.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart CraiggerBear #3
CraiggerBear number three can be found in Zurkie’s, the bar on Scarstu.
This bear is located in the reception area, and can be grabbed right after your weapons are taken away from you. It is sitting on top of a small orange and white box to the left of the receptionist’s counter.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart CraiggerBear #4
The fourth Craiggerbear is the only one of the nine Craiggerbears that requires you to go out of the way to get it, as you wouldn’t typically go to this spot where it’s found.
It can be found on Savali, at the Mountain Temple during the section of the Gauntlet of Trials / Doom where you have to hoverboot across some floating rock bridges. This is at the southernmost island of Savali.
Once you are across the first rock bridge, instead of going right and across the second, hop up the rocks behind the fence in front of you and drop down to the small platform. The Craiggerbear can be found next to some vases.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart CraiggerBear #5
This one can be found on Blizar Prime and is very hard to miss. When you first land here, progress along the main path normally until you reach the Blizon Crystal.
Punch the crystal to go to the Intact Dimension. Go inside and hit the next crystal to go back to the Ruined Dimension, then continue along to the next crystal to transport to the Intact Dimension again. Here, you can find the Craiggerbear on a pile of junk, a few meters north of the crystal.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart CraiggerBear #6
The sixth CraiggerBear is on Torren IV, in the Little Junktown market.
After you land, swing away from your ship and continue forward. You will find the CraiggerBear to your right, next to a pile of televisions, across from Mrs. Zurkon. Look for the orange awning.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart CraiggerBear #7
The seventh one is on Cordelion, chilling in a pile of snow, very early in the level.
Head to the top of the tower from your ship and smack the Blizon Crystal, which will warp you to the snow-riddled Ruined Dimension. Slide down the icy stairs and look to your left as soon as you reach the bottom. You should see some scrap metal with the CraiggerBear behind it.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart CraiggerBear #8
The next CraiggerBear is at the end of the Pirate Trials on Ardolis.
In the room where you get your armor piece, the bear can be found sitting next to a treasure chest in the sand, to the right of the exit door. If you miss this on the first run through, you can take the elevator up and hop across the walkways and boats to reach the same room again.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart CraiggerBear #9
The final CraiggerBear can be found in the same room where you free the Resistance and save Clank.
It can be found in the cell that housed Captain Quasar and Phantom, across the room from Clank’s cell. It is sitting atop a bench. Grabbing this bear will unlock you the “UnBEARABLY Awesome” trophy. Now it’s time to sweep up the rest of those trophies for your platinum.
And that is how you get all the CraiggerBears in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which is surprisingly easy to do. If you found this guide helpful, we’ve got a handful of other Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart guides.
