Key Tips for Completing Every Biome in Peak

Every level in Peak features a distinct biome, each posing its own set of survival challenges. In the Tropical biome, the main threats you face are ticks and bees. However, as you progress, you’ll encounter dangers like starvation, injuries, poison, and extreme weather conditions such as fire and frostbite.

Mastering survival in each biome is crucial if you aim to escape the island and achieve all the available milestones. If you’re struggling to make it past the Tropics, this guide will provide the insights you need to navigate the levels successfully.

Surviving The Shore

You begin your journey on The Shore, directly at the crash site of the plane. Inside the wreckage, you’ll find a compass, a bugle, a lantern, and Bing Bong—the airline’s mascot. At the outset, these items are not particularly useful, so it’s advisable to leave them be unless you’re aiming for specific achievements.

The Shore is the most manageable of the five biomes, presenting minimal dangers. Your main threats come from jellyfish and poison urchins, which inflict poison status when touched. Additionally, the jellyfish can cause you to slip and fall.

Steering clear of these risks is fairly straightforward, but be cautious; stepping on a jellyfish from a height could lead to a fatal fall. Also, note that bridges can collapse if overloaded or if you linger too long on them.

As you start your adventure, take a moment to collect coconuts and cook them over a fire. Eating them will recharge your energy and give you a stamina boost.

Other than these few hazards, navigating The Shore is relatively simple, and you should have no trouble locating your way to the first campfire.

Surviving The Tropics

While this is the second level, it can be one of the most challenging. The dangers here are numerous, and they can vary as the island changes every 24 hours.

In addition to scavenging food from luggage, learn to identify safe foods. Poisonous foods made their first appearance in the first biome, but you’ll now encounter more dangerous options to avoid.

Avoid these foods:

• Green Crispberries (toxic)
• Yellow Crispberries (toxic)
• Green Kingberries (toxic)
• Pink Berrynanas (toxic)
• Scorchberries (heat damage)

After familiarizing yourself with safe foods, focus on navigating the terrain and avoiding hazards. Most importantly, remember: do not climb during rain. It slows you down and drains your energy much faster. If the rain begins, wait it out before scaling any surfaces.

Vines are invaluable here, allowing you to climb with less stamina and reach heights you couldn’t otherwise attempt.

If you’re finding it hard to navigate the Tropics, consider starting on Tenderfoot difficulty, which removes time limits and helps you avoid the creeping fog. Once you feel more confident, switch to normal difficulty.

As you climb, watch for these hazards:

Surviving The Alpine

After the Tropics, you’ll enter The Alpine, where everything is blanketed in snow and ice. Here, rainstorms are replaced by blizzards that can freeze you and throw you off the mountains.

The main threat in this area is frostbite from the cold and the dark blue ice rocks. Watch out for geysers that can erupt unexpectedly. While they can keep you warm, being too close can launch you into the air.

You may also encounter Flashpods that create blinding flashes when disturbed, obstructing your view temporarily. These are usually found in mountain caverns.

To survive the cold, seek shelter under overhangs during snowfalls, and look for a Heat Pack in the luggage. This item offers temporary warmth.

As you climb, timing is key; try to ascend during clear periods to avoid getting caught midway in a storm. Old pitons can aid your climbing, but they aren’t very reliable, so avoid lingering on them. Better options include using a rope cannon or shelf fungus.

Surviving The Caldera

In the Caldera, the ground consists of lava. Unlike the rainstorms of the Tropical biome and blizzards of The Alpine, the lava level changes periodically. Falling into the lava will lead to certain death, so be cautious and wait for it to go down.

Once it’s safe, jump from rock to rock or dash across the hot ground between pillars to minimize heat damage. You can also utilize chains connecting some pillars, similar to vines in The Tropics.

Beyond finding food in luggage, the only food source here consists of eggs from nests. You can throw the eggs down to crack them open and then cook them on heated rocks for a substantial energy boost.

Surviving The Kiln

The Kiln is the most challenging biome. Here, you’ll climb straight to the volcano’s summit, so preparation is imperative.

You won’t have to worry about rising lava, but do avoid falling. You’ll initially find accessible rocks, but climbing becomes trickier as you ascend, often placing you in tight spots.

Essential items for this journey include:

• Multiple chain launchers
• Rope cannons
• Anti-rope or Anti-rope cannons
• Energy-boosting sports drinks
• Food for sustenance

There’s little natural food within the Kiln, so come equipped with at least one food item; the suitcases here are unreliable.

To survive, manage your stamina effectively and keep moving upward. You can climb hot rocks, but it’s imperative to act quickly to prevent heat damage. Take breaks in cooler areas to recover your stamina.

It’s a long climb, so reserve your climbing aids for when absolutely necessary to avoid running out before reaching the top.
