Mama Bear is a boss entity in Raft. She is one of multiple threats to the player.

Summary

• Mama Bear is one of the enemies in Raft that may attack and kill the player. Mama Bear is a large, brown bear that can be found on Balboa Island. In order to progress in the story, the player must loot a crate containing a Machete and the Machete Blueprint found in the cave guarded by Mama Bear.
• When first arriving on Balboa Island, Mama Bear will be guarding the entrance to the cave and will attack the player if they come too close.
• The player may find berries around the island that can be put into a nearby container. After doing so, Mama Bear will move away from the cave entrance and allow the player to enter. At this point, Mama Bear will eat the berries from the container indefinitely until attacked.
• Mama Bear has 140 points of health (180 on Hard mode. She also deals large amounts of damage and can incapacitate the player in three hits (two on Hard mode). As such, she is the strongest opponent in the game.
• Mama Bear's attack consists solely of her melee paw attack.
• The Achievement "Mother Lode!" is unlocked by killing Mama Bear.
• Mama Bear drops large quantities of Leather and Meat, as well as the unique item Mama Bear Head.

Strategies

• Because of her large health pool, Mama Bear is a tough opponent to defeat. It is highly suggested to use ranged weapons, preferably the Basic Bow and Metal Arrows.
• Being equipped with Leather Armor is highly advisable, as well as carrying Healing Salve.
• After luring Mama Bear away from the entrance of the cave, the player can stand on a natural ledge over the nearby canyon. From here, the player can continuously shoot arrows while running backwards away from Mama Bear to avoid taking damage. Mama Bear will eventually return to eating berries at which point the player can rinse and repeat this process.
• Arrows can be retrieved from Mama Bear while standing at maximum range, though she may turn and attack the player. Running towards the ledge is the best chance of avoiding damage.
• Mama Bear deals near half the player's total health pool, so it's important to always keep your health above this point when attempting to fight her.
