Summary
- Alongside Thirst, Oxygen, Hunger, and Sharks, Screechers are one of the mechanics in Raft that can result in player death. Screechers will attack the player whilst on the Large Islands, dealing the player via dropping stones on their head. When a Screecher is killed, its parts can be harvested by interacting with it. The screecher does not respawn when killed, and drops 4 Drumsticks, 12 Feathers and a Screecher Head.
Strategies
- To kill the Screecher, you need a Spear or a Bow. It is recommended to use the bow. When the Screecher stops to pick up a boulder, use a spear to stab it, or shoot it with the bow. After several hits, depending on what you used to attack the Screecher, it will die.
- Another good way to kill the Screecher is to wait for it to be coming at you with a rock and then shoot it. This can be made easier by getting up high on a mountain on the island where the Screecher is, making the Screecher have to fly up to you.
