Raft – Dealing with The Shark

The shark can become very annoying throughout the game, whether it’s eating your raft or biting your bum when trying to gather resources. There is no way to stop it from following you constantly, however there are ways to prevent the attacks.

Using the spear

To prevent the shark from completely breaking one of your foundations, you can use the basic wooden spear against it by stabbing him 4 times. This will make it let go of the raft and let you fix it up with a few planks using the ‘building hammer’ instead of replacing the whole thing. If you use the upgraded spear instead, it only takes two hits before it backs off, leaving fewer damages to deal with.

Shark bait

Shark bait is a great way to distract the shark whilst you go diving for resources.

It is crafted using:

• 2 rope

• 1 raw herring

• 1 raw pomfret

Once crafted, it can be thrown into the water as near or as far from the raft as you like by holding down the left mouse button.

The shark does tend to break this fairly quickly (around 10-15 seconds) if not bothered. However, if you, or a friend, stabs it every time it goes for the bait, it will swim away and go back for it again. This does increase the chances of it choosing you over the bait though.
