Ring the Star Maze bell and open the bunker

Take the far-left fork, hide in lockers, ring the bell once, then reset and walk behind the statue.

Bell Ringer is the badge for finding the bell and ringing it. The ring also turns the bunker control behind the statue from red to green for that session. You do not need all 32 pages for this step. You need them later, at the terminal.

Reach the stairs

  1. Leave the spawn cabin and follow the main trail until it splits three ways.
  2. Take the far-left path and go past Star Labs.
  3. Enter the doorway marked as a human space. Surface bears do not follow down the stairs.
  4. The signs call this the Star Maze.

The statue path is a different branch. Do not hunt the bunker door first. It stays locked until the bell.

Cross the maze

Halls are darker than the snow. Turn on a flashlight. Follow red and green lights and the arrows on the wall terminals. Unlit branches are the ones described as dead ends.

The Maze Bear hums, then crackles when it sees you. The screen edge goes red. Step into an empty locker. Only one player fits. Wait until the drumming stops. A Speed Coil does not finish this chase: a long run makes the bear drop into a crawl that outruns the boost. The taser does not stun it. Some runs have two of them.

Cash bundles sit in the halls. One of the 32 pages is in the maze too. The exit chamber is the lit room with the hanging bell. One route note calls that room Freedom.

Open the door

Interact with the bell once. The badge text is FIND THE BELL / RING THE BELL. Reset your character instead of walking back through the patrol. From spawn, go south, take the branch toward the statue, and continue behind it. The control should be green.

Inside you can pick up Cash and a page. The Bear Mushroom and the Order of the S.T.A.R. terminal are the next task, not part of the bell badge. A video of this route is on the Video Guides page: the spoken path matches these forks.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a bear in MEDVED?

Collect all 32 pages, ring the Star Maze bell to open the bunker behind the statue, and turn the pages in at the Star Lab terminal, then use the Bear Mushroom. Reports give the form as 10 minutes or 14 minutes.

Does the taser work on every bear?

No. It trips ordinary bears, the Tall Bear, Papa Bear, and tiny bears in the notes that mention them. It does not stop the Maze Bear, the Ghost Bear, or the Grinder Bear.

How many lore pages are there?

32. The Page Tracker in the shop is listed at $400 Cash. Submitting the set at the terminal resets the counter.

Can you kill the bears for good?

A mine page says they can never be truly destroyed. Guns and health bars are still recorded for fights such as the Ball Bear and the 2,000 HP Grinder Bear. A knockdown is not the same claim as a permanent kill.
