Now This Is What I Call Peak: Item Guide

Proper sustenance supports stamina and performance—and cooking enhances benefits.

• Food Items (berries, eggs, marshmallows, honeycomb, etc.): Satiate hunger and protect stamina; cooked items marginally increase effect.

• Big Lollipop: Grants temporary infinite stamina but causes exhaustion afterward—reserve for strategic bursts.

• Pandora’s Lunchbox: A wildcard—provides hunger and random status buffs (or debuffs) with three uses.

Traversal & Mobility Tools

Navigational gear is core to progression—knowing when to deploy what matters.

Navigation & Utility

Sometimes raw tools aren’t enough; you need direction or quirky tactical advantages.

• Compass & Pirate’s Compass: Standard compass helps orient you, while Pirate’s Compass points to the nearest unopened suitcase.

• Lantern: Illuminates dark areas and passively removes frost from the holder and nearby allies.

• Flare: Emits visible smoke to locate teammates—useful in thick fog or chaos.

• Portable Stove: Cook food anywhere and gradually remove frost—unmovable when placed.

Miscellaneous & Fun Items

These aren’t essential, but spice up the climb with charm or mischief.

• Bugle of Friendship: Legendary item—gives nearby players 10 seconds of infinite stamina.

• Scoutmaster’s Bugle: Summons the Scoutmaster to chase—refills nearby teammates’ stamina. Great for end-of-climb pushes.

• Bugle: Cute interaction with capybaras to unlock an achievement.

• Bing Bong: A purely collectible item—no functional use, but required to unlock the “Bing Bong” badge.

• Banana Peel: Slip-prone prank item—great for trolling teammates or self-sabotage.

• Blowgun: One-time dart launcher—inflicts sleep/lethargy on enemies/players.

Best Practices & Strategy

• Tier Priorities: Based on GamerBlurb’s tier system, S‑Tier should be your priority inventory (Cure-All, Medkit, Scout/Ancient Effigies, Bugle of Friendship, Rope Cannon variants).

• Cooking Early: Start cooking early to extend stamina—Polygon recommends using a campfire or shore bonfire before climbing.

• Team Altars: Ancient Effigies at camps restore fallen teammates, though they respawn with lowered stamina.

• Route Flexibility: Don’t just go straight up—sideways, or downward routes often lead to safer paths.

Like I Said, Peak

PEAK offers a diverse arsenal of gear, from healing wonders like Cure-All and Faerie Lanterns to traversal innovations such as Chain Cannons and Magic Beans. The key is smart prioritization: pack essential healing items, reliable movement tools, and a sprinkle of fun gear for camaraderie.

Knowledge is power—keep this guide close during climbs, and you’ll find yourself racing past checkpoints, reviving teammates with confidence, and maybe even hitting that elusive “Bing Bong” badge along the way.

Time to gear up, coordinate with your team, and conquer the summit of PEAK—happy climbing!
