Bear Statues Guide

A guide to help you find all the bear statues. (Available in November 2020)

Intro

This guide contains coordinates and a picture of each statue.

You can use the coordinates as a guide as to where to go next. They might be a bit confusing though. Usually, you see an XYZ format, or latitude and longitude, but the format in Meadow is (Y, Z, -X). That would be (latitude, altitude, -longitude). So, if the coordinates are (-50, 50, 50) and you're at (0,0,0), then you need to go southwest and climb up.

If you're unsure about your location, you can press LSHIFT+G to copy your current coordinates and then you can paste them somewhere else by pressing CTRL+V.

Oh, and here's a map overview with the statues marked:

Thanks to the original authors of the map, Nemo and c42, by the way. You can find it here: Interactive Meadow Map[meadowmap.org] And if you're just using the map, note that the 5th bear is underground.

Also, the map above and the real directions in-game are not in sync. The map above is rotated left by 90 degrees, so north is actually on the left (if you're using the in-game map and its north pointer). So, for example, the tropical area, located northeast, is in the top-left corner. The directions in this guide use the actual, in-game directions.

PS: If you find any issues, feel free to comment.

Bear #1

Coordinates: (316.9, 103.1, -863.7)

From the tree, head (north-)east towards the waterfall area, once you reach the gap, keep to its left edge. The statue is close to the distant corner on a hill, overlooking the gap.

Bear #2

Coordinates: (-618.0, 16.1, -195.8)

From the previous location, it's to the southwest. Move along the edge of the gap, past the rivers. You should get to a mountain eventually. Keep it on your left side until you get to the cave entrance. Then go along the river, away from the mountain. There's a smaller mountain ahead. You should see it eventually. It's between the spot where the smaller mountain ends and the river turns right. If you reach the map's edge, you've gone too far (but not too far, it's close).

Bear #3

Coordinates: (-392.1, 1.8, 968.4)

From the previous bear, it's to the west-northwest. Just go ahead and follow the edge of the map until you get to the autumn area. From there, you can head west (and slightly to the north, too).

You might run into a rectangular hole in the ground and the big tree surrounded by a lake. Just carry on and eventually, you will reach the edge of the map again. If you didn't wander off too much, the bear statue should be somewhere to the north (your right). Check your location and the coordinates. It's on top of an incline.

(If you're unsure about the previous paragraph, you can take a slight detour when you reach the autumn area by following the edge of the map all the way until you reach the bear statue.)

Bear #4

Coordinates: (-251.8, -45.2, 963.0)

The next one is not far off from the previous. Just follow the edge of the map, heading north. It's next to the bottom of the slope, on a slightly elevated area. It's looking away from the edge.

Bear #5

Coordinates: (591.2, -28.8, 871.4)

The next one is underground. It's mostly to the north of the previous bear. So, if you go north, you should see the edge of the map on your left and, pretty soon, a mountain on your right. Ignore that one and carry on. Eventually, you'll see another mountain. That's your goal.

You need to find the entrance to that mountain. You should see a rectangular gap in front of it. The entrance is on it's left, near some trees. It can be tough to spot, so here are the coordinates: (438.8, -50.3, 926.8).

The bear is inside in the big room.

Bear #6

Coordinates: (1467.7, 38.8, 71.4)

This one is to the northeast of the previous one. If you're still in the large cave room, find it's other exit (an underground river can help you find it) and follow it outside. You should emerge into a snowy area.

Go on a lengthy trek north-northeast. You should eventually see the large monolith ahead. You can use it to guide you. Just as you start getting close to it, a steep slope will block your path. You can climb it straight to the top if you can and feel like it, or scale it carefully.

Once on top, you should see that it's quite narrow and you'll reach the edge again soon. The bear is there at the edge, looking ahead.

If you're having difficulties at the last part, you can use the coordinates to help you there (or look around, it really isn't very far once you reach the slope).

Bear #7

Coordinates: (1542.7, 39.1, 53.1)

Not far from the last bear, you can find this one. It's on the hill with the monolith. If you look in the same direction the last bear is facing, you should be looking at it. So just drop down and climb the monolith hill. There, the next bear awaits (south of the monolith at the edge of the hill, facing the previous bear).

Bear #8

Coordinates: (1425.5, 31.9, -329.9)

This one is east-southeast of the last one. Go east from the last bear's location until you reach a big gap and a transition to a green area. Now, unless you're a frog or an eagle, you probably want to keep to the right of the gap, following the edge, turning left at the corner and climbing up a mountain.

When you reach the edge of the gap, turn left and start descending. Keep a keen eye on the area to your right and you should soon see the bear standing on a big flat stone.

Bear #9

Coordinates: (1455.7, 56.1, -703.6)

This one is east of the last one. So go east. Pretty soon, you should see the tropical area ahead and to the left, but you should stay in the green. If you see a big gap ahead, you're very close. The bear is above the crystal cave entrance.

Bear #10

Coordinates: (1737.9, 1.9, -896.1)

The last bear is in the tropical area, to the northeast from the previous bear. You'll want to climb down from the previous bear's spot and follow the narrow land area (you only need to swim once). It should be gradually turning to the right. Soon, you'll reach kind of a mini-ravine where the bear is hiding.

Solid guide!

[Rikku]

Is there a map of the location of the bear statues? (

I haven’t seen a guide yet that embodied the ‘tour the meadow’ aspect of these statue hunts as well as this one did. Thank for the guide and thank you for looking out for us terrestrial animals!

[🍁Kosetta🍁]

Thanks to you, I was able to find em all in one day lol. Good job! ^^

[PotatOS]
