If you think the Shore was tough, wait until you encounter the Roots Biome: Peak’s tall fungal forest that looks like a fairy tale until it becomes deadly. The area is filled with strong winds, unusual pink clouds, and highly active mushrooms. It definitely doesn’t give a friendly welcome.
The Roots biome is a mix of stunning scenery and danger, where every step upward feels like nature’s way of testing you. You need quick reflexes, steady movement, and some luck to get through safely. Here’s how to stay balanced and keep your health in peak condition in this challenging part of Peak.
### How To Survive The Roots Biome

If you’ve gone past the Shore in Peak, congratulations—you’re now facing the Roots Biome. This area appears when the Tropics map rotates, so depending on your game run, it might be your next big challenge. It’s easy to recognize with its giant fungal trees and glowing mushroom caps.
### Watch Out For The Wind

The first major obstacle is the gusts of wind that sweep through the forest. These winds can blow you right off cliffs if you aren’t anchored down. When the wind picks up, grab onto nearby trees, fungi shelves, or mountain walls to stay grounded.
The big mushroom-covered trunks and ledges scattered around aren’t just for looks—they’re your safety lines. Move carefully and time your climbs between gusts to maintain control.
### Avoid The Pink Smoke

You’ll see pink clouds of smoke drifting through the air. Don’t rush through them. This toxic mist will poison you if you touch it, quickly reducing your health.
It’s best to steer clear of the smoke. Patience will save you more time than rushing in to heal afterward. Wait for the right moment to pass safely through the cleaner air.
### Beware The Fungi Zombies

Along your path, you’ll find fungi zombies lying dormant. They look harmless but can wake up if you get too close. If one bites you, heal immediately to stop infection from spreading.
Keep your distance whenever possible. Plan escape routes ahead of time to avoid waking these infected creatures.
### Dodge The Dung Beetles

The dung beetles are surprisingly dangerous. They’ll charge directly at you, knocking you off balance and sending you sliding down slopes. Try to sidestep their attacks or hide behind trees when they charge.
In open spaces, move to higher ground quickly. The beetles struggle to climb fungi shelves and hills, giving you time to get away.
### Climbing To Safety

To progress, learn how to use the environment to your advantage. The fungi shelves on trees and uneven mountain edges are good handholds for climbing. Stick close to these features as you go up to reduce your exposure to gusts and enemies.
Careful timing and strategic use of the terrain are key to making it through this challenging biome without getting overwhelmed.
