Peak<\/em> is a cooperative climbing game where you and other scouts try to reach the top of a treacherous mountain. Whether you\u2019re climbing solo or with a group of friends, reaching the peak of Peak<\/em> is tough challenge. While the Wilderness Handbook by Scoutmaster Myres is great at teaching you the basics of \u201chow to not die,\u201d it leaves out some information that\u2019ll help you and your friends on your journey.<\/p>\n

Below, we\u2019ve listed nine beginner\u2019s tips you should know before starting Peak<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

Always help your friends<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re playing with friends or other scouts, lend them a helping hand. That doesn\u2019t have to mean pulling a scout up to higher ground, necessarily. You can assist your team by splitting heavy items, giving each other food, healing one another, and even lending your head as a trampoline.<\/p>\n

Additionally, make sure to never leave a fellow scout behind, or you\u2019ll face the wrath of the scoutmaster.<\/p>\n

Cook your food<\/h2>\n

You can cook more than just marshmallows at campfires, and cooked foods will provide you with extra stamina. This is particularly useful as soon as you start up a new game since there is a small flame on the shore. Crack open a few coconuts and cook them to easily fill up your extra stamina bar before you set off on your adventure. But only cook your food once \u2014 there isn\u2019t a benefit to cooking them any further.<\/p>\n

Know the difference between ropes and and chains<\/h2>\n

There are a lot of items that\u2019ll make your climb to the peak a little easier. Two extremely useful items are the rope cannon and chain launcher, but their uses are very different. Rope cannons will launch a harpoon in the direction of your cursor and unfurl a rope that you can climb up. The rope cannon is particularly useful when you\u2019re trying to gain height. However, make sure to not shoot it too high as the rope is pretty short.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chain launchers will connect wherever your cursor is aiming to your location with a chain, creating a chain-link bridge in the process. As rope cannons are great for height, chain launchers are for great for length. If you see an easy path to the top, but you have to make an impossible jump to reach it, use the chain launcher to create an easy-to-cross bridge.<\/p>\n

Up isn\u2019t the only direction<\/h2>\n

When you want to reach the peak of a mountain, the best direction to head is, obviously<\/em>, up, but sometimes you must descend to find the best path forward. As you climb up the mountain, you\u2019ll reach areas that don\u2019t have an easy or obvious path. Rather than forcing your way up, look to the side and beneath you in search of another trail. These passages can lead to a low-risk route that\u2019ll help you keep your extra stamina and items.<\/p>\n

Revive scouts at an ancient statue<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve lost a fellow scout, you can revive them at an ancient statue, which can be found at the top of each area. Simply interact with the statue, and watch all of your fallen friends will fall out of the sky! Unfortunately, revived scouts will receive a debuff that slightly limits their total stamina, but at least you\u2019re back in the world of the living.<\/p>\n

If you and all of your fellow scouts are alive, you should still interact with the ancient statue to receive a special item<\/p>\n

Find flat land before trying new foods<\/h2>\n

The ground in Peak<\/em> can be a little funny<\/em> sometimes. There will be times where you think you\u2019re on flat ground, but, when you place your backpack on the floor, it slides off of the mountain making you lose all of your items.<\/p>\n

The same thing can happen for your unconscious body. If you\u2019re trying out a suspicious food for the first time, test it out on a flat surface! You never know if the berry or mushroom will poison you or put you to sleep. Rather than rolling off of the mountain, take a comfortable nap on flat land or, better yet, in a ditch.<\/p>\n

If it looks dangerous, it probably is<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are a lot of traps scattered around the mountain that you should look out for, but trust your instincts because dangerous objects, well, look dangerous. There are poisonous sea urchin-like bushes, explosive bulbous orange plants, and do I even have to mention the swarms of bees?<\/p>\n

However, I should note that honeycombs are extremely<\/em> useful as they provide a lot of extra stamina, but, again, watch out for the bees!<\/p>\n

Out of stamina Try lunging!<\/h2>\n

Often times, you\u2019ll find yourself just below the edge of a cliff with a tiny sliver of stamina. In situations like these, the best course of action is to lunge, which can be done by pressing the sprint button while climbing. However, this should only be done if you\u2019re extremely<\/em> close to the ledge.<\/p>\n

As a last resort, you can also try spamming the jump button. Sometimes, this will give you the extra distance you need to grab hold of the ledge, but you will really need to press jump as fast as you can to gain the distance. This can be extremely risky because, if this fails, you will take an extremely large amount of fall damage.<\/p>\n

Use Tenderfoot difficulty to find a path<\/h2>\n

As the mountain changes every day, finding a route to the peak can be fairly difficult. As you\u2019re getting to the mountain, consider lowering the difficulty to \u201cTenderfoot\u201d to not have to worry about the looming fog.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To switch to Tenderfoot difficulty, interact with the Gate Kiosk in the airport, and select the downward arrow on the boarding pass until you reach Tenderfoot difficulty.<\/p>\n
