Peak Items Guide: All Types of Items, How to Use, and More

Summary

• PEAK features over 40 different items under four main categories which are Food, Healing/Restoratives, Traversal Gear, and Miscellaneous. 
• These items have specific uses from managing stamina, health, status effects, and navigation while climbing the mountain.
• Weight which items deserve the space on your bag to succeed in mountain climbing expeditions.

More than a virtual mountain climbing experience, PEAK challenges players into an immersive gameplay dive. You will need smart item management skills and planning to reach the top of the mountain after getting stranded. Now, here is a guide to PEAK items, helping you determine which to carry on your ascent. 

Food Items To Fuel Your Climb

One of the challenges introduced in PEAK is managing your hunger during the climb. This directly impacts your stamina, draining it when you’re hungry. So, food items serve as your defense against these effects, helping you survive. 

Basic Food Options:

• • Berries (including Berrynanas and Scorchberries) provide you with standard hunger relief
  • Coconuts should be cracked open, but offer enough nourishment
  • Marshmallows restore huge amounts of your hunger when cooked over a fire
  • Granola Bars boost both your hunger and stamina simultaneously

Special Food Items:

• • Big Lollipop granting infinite stamina temporarily while causing sleep afterward
  • Energy Drink dramatically increasing climbing speed before inducing sleep
  • Pandora’s Lunchbox applying random status effects on you; however, use with caution
  • Trail Mix and Scout Cookies provides you a reliable hunger management

Also, keep in mind to cook your food items over any open flame to enhance their hunger-restoring. Consuming cooked food gives you more stamina than eating it as it is. However, you don’t need a formal campfire setup to heat up your food items, as any heat source will do the job. 

Items To Heal You During The Climb 

Besides hunger, you will also need to be extra cautious of your environment. You need to avoid any injuries that will affect your survival during the game. It will be crucial for you to have some healing items to save your expedition. 

Essential Healing Items:

• • Medkit fully restores health and helpful during serious injuries
  • Bandages provides you with moderate healing for minor wounds
  • Antidote cures the poison effects from your contaminated food or environmental hazards
  • Heat Pack prevents frostbite and provides you with warmth in cold conditions

Advanced Restoratives:

• • Cure-All removes all status effects while restoring stamina to maximum
  • Faerie Lantern slowly heals your nearby players with limited charges
  • Remedy Fungus creates you healing spore clouds for team support
  • Scout Effigy revives your fallen teammates

You may use the Cursed Skull to revive all the dead players and cure their status effect. In turn, you will have to sacrifice your life, killing yourself in the process of using it. So, save it for desperate situations when your team badly needs it.

Your Climbing Arsenal

Now, PEAK isn’t making things easy for anyone with its increasingly difficult terrain. It is not only the hunger and environment you’ll need to manage, but even your pathfinding skills. Make sure you can find the safest route to reach new areas and unlock new levels. These tools will help you ensure your survival along the way, especially in the extreme parts.

Rope Equipment:

• • Rope Spool provides you with 12.5 meters of standard climbing rope
  • Anti-Rope Spool creates upward-floating rope defying gravity
  • Rope Cannon and Anti-Rope Cannon fire ropes at speed for quick deployment
  • Chain Cannon creates you an artificial vine-like climbing surfaces

Platform Creation:

• • Shelf Shroom creates you mushroom platforms when thrown against walls
  • Magic Bean generates you a lengthy beanstalks for vertical climbing
  • Piton provides you with temporary rest spots on walls, breaking after use

  • Pirate’s Compass locates unopened luggage chests
  • Warp Compass teleports you to random players (may be temporarily disabled)

Miscellaneous Items For Your Climb

On the other hand, there are also miscellaneous items that you may keep to enhance your climbing experience. While this doesn’t directly impact your status, it can help boost some of the previous items’ effects. It can also help you to create new strategies as you and your team move closer to the peak. 

Utility Items:

• • Portable Stove allows you to cook food anywhere and provides cold recovery
  • Flare creates smoke signals for team coordination
  • Lantern provides light and removes frost from your nearby players
  • Blowgun fires stunning darts at targets

Team Support:

• • Bugle of Friendship grants you with infinite stamina to nearby players for 10 seconds
  • Scoutmaster’s Bugle spawns the Scoutmaster, who boosts team stamina
  • Regular Bugle helps you with animal interactions for achievement hunting

Special Items:

• • Bing Bong plush toy serves no practical purpose but unlocks badges when carried to the peak
  • Banana Peel creates you of slip hazards for other players (dropped after eating Berrynanas)

What You Should Carry 

So, how do you choose the items to carry on your backpack during the ascent? PEAK increases the game’s difficulty by introducing item rarity and weight management. You may choose what to prioritize based on item rarity. Some legendary items like the Bugle of Friendship, Faerie Lantern, and Pirate’s Compass are incredibly powerful but extremely rare. 

1. Items increase your carrying weight, affecting climbing performance.
2. Prioritize your essential items over novelty ones.
3. Look for luggage chests scattered around the island for better item selection.
4. Don’t carry everything from the plane crash site. Many starting items aren’t worth the weight.

Final Thoughts

Learning all the types and uses of these items in PEAK helps players to better understand what they should prioritize. Climbing is challenging enough, but the item rarity and weight management even made it tougher. Take note of their effects to know which one to save in your backpack while exploring the hazardous mountain.
