[OUTDATED] PEAK: Guide for Achievements

Hi guys, before you continue with the guide, I'd like to thank my co-author Vanilla (Nilla) for helping me with this. A large scale project like this couldn't have been done without her help.

If you want, please support her at Nilla's Daily Guides![discord.com] which is located in the PEAK community Discord. Even something as small as a compliment can go a long way for others. Also, we deeply appreciate your support throughout this entire journey! :D


I'd like to honourably mention lane_ftw for his new (but very experimental) website which highlights about MESA/ALPINE rotations, current location of capybaras, status of tomb (for MESA biome) and many more! Please show him your support by visiting his website https://lane-ftw.github.io/peak-map-info/ to provide honest feedback!

For this achievement, all you need to do is to climb past the MESA biome and reach the campfire to light it up.


Completing the achievement will give you Desert Hat.

|| MULTIPLAYER REQUIRED || Firstly, you need to get a Flying Disc, found at the plane crash site in SHORE biome. The scout that holds the flying disc should climb at least 100M above your scout friends. Then, throw the Flying Disc down until you or your scout friend grabs it without it hitting the ground and the achievement will be registered shortly after.

IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THAT YOU AND YOUR SCOUT FRIEND IS DEFINITELY 100 METERS APART, OTHERWISE, IT WON'T REGISTER.



TIPS: You can use the campfire to check how far away your buddy is. (Go a teensy bit above 100M as an extra precaution if you're unsure about the distance)


Completing this achievement will give you Visor.

For this achievement, you'll need to be smart on how to move your scout around the MESA biome while making sure not to pass 10% Heat until you've reached the next campfire. There are multiple ways to achieve this:

1. Easiest way is to traverse the MESA biome at night. This ensures your scout doesn't burn to a crisp.
2. Use a Parasol as it negates heat from sunlight.
3. Skilfully run into places where there is shade (aka shadows) located around the MESA biome.




IMPORTANT: 10% Heat is about 4 ticks of fire. Also, if you have exactly 10% cumulative Heat (this means getting Heat from other biomes) or above before lightning up the next campfire, the achievement will not work. The game starts tracking your Heat the moment you start the game.

Completing this achievement will give you Cowboy Hat and Cowboy Outfit.

For this achievement, make sure to attach at least 5 or more round Cactus (not to be mistaken with Cactus thorns) to your scout which can be found scattered around the MESA biome.

TIPS: There's a higher concentration of Cactus after making it past the canyon, Especially at the lower portion of the climb and on the mountain side.


Completing this achievement will give you Sun Hat.

For this achievement, you need to find Balloons across the map which can be found in Luggage and equip at least 6 or more Balloons in order to fly away.

TIPS: Keep restarting the game until you get a Balloon Bunch or at least 4 balloons. Then, pray that almighty RNG luck blesses you with the remaining balloons you need when ascending.


Completing this achievement will give you Astronaut's Helmet and Astronaut's Outfit.

For this achievement, you will need to find an opening which can randomly appear anywhere in MESA biome (my theory as to why it may or may not be accessible sometimes is that it only appears on specific days?). Once you've found the entrance, make your way to the main room of the hidden temple until you encounter a golden version of Bing Bong called the Ancient Idol. After equipping it, simply continue your journey as usual until you reach KILN biome. Once you have entered the volcano, throw the Ancient Idol in the lava and you will get the achievement.

TIPS: Having the Ancient Idol equipped makes you invulnerable to all types of damage.


Completing this achievement will give you Bing Bong Hat.

For this achievement, you are required to be in a multiplayer session in order for it to work. Anyway, in order to get this achievement, starve yourself as long as possible until your scout starts hallucinating your scout friends as chicken. When that happens, just eat them and the achievement will be registered.


Completing this achievement will give you Cannibal.

For this achievement, you need to get a Scout Cannon which can be found in luggage scattered around the entire game. Once you've acquired it, make your way to the MESA biome and walk until you've found a large canyon. After that, position and adjust the angle of the Scout Cannon optimally, ensuring that you'll be shot across the canyon.

TIPS: Because of how unpredictable the cannon's trajectory is when shooting scouts across the canyon, make sure to shoot yourself across and immediately grab the other side of the canyon's walls which should still provide you the achievement. If not, try walking away from the canyon after making it to the other side until a pop-up appears to indicate that the achievement has been registered.


Completing this achievement will give you Stunt Helmet.

For this achievement, you'll need to find a depression which contains an Explorer's Luggage that is randomly located in the MESA biome. After finding the area, simply go down the depression until the Antlion appears and attacks you. Lastly, make your way back up and walk a few steps away until the achievement is registered.

IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE TO TAKE DAMAGE FROM THE ANTLION ATTACK OR THIS ACHIEVEMENT WILL NOT REGISTER ON YOUR STEAM PROFILE.
TIPS: You can use a Rope to cling on the edge of the depression so that it's much easier to escape from Antlion.


Completing this achievement will give you Scratch Marks.

For this achievement, you need to bring the Binoculars located at the plane crash site in SHORE biome. Then, all you have to do is make your way to the MESA biome and zoom into your Binoculars while staring into the Sun.


Completing this achievement will give you Sunglasses.

|| MULTIPLAYER REQUIRED || For this achievement, you need to have one of your scout friends escape the island without you by ending the life of your scout. This can be achieved by ensuring that you have died (became a ghost). Meanwhile, your scout friend needs to successfully reach the PEAK and trigger the 10-second countdown. The achievement will be registered once your scout friend has made it to the cutscene on the helicopter.


Completing the achievement will give you Castaway Outfit.

For this achievement, all you need to do is to climb past the SHORE biome and reach the campfire to light it up.










Completing the achievement will give you Straw Hat.

For this achievement, all you need to do is to climb past the TROPICS biome and reach the campfire to light it up.


Completing this achievement will give you Pith Helmet. (yes, it's still called that)

For this achievement, all you need to do is to climb past the ALPINE biome and reach the campfire to light it up.


Completing this achievement will give you Aviator Cap.

For this achievement, all you need to do is to climb past the CALDERA biome and reach the campfire to light it up.

Completing this achievement will give you Tropical Outfit.

For this achievement, just make your way across all the biomes until you've reached the PEAK and escape by lighting a Flare found in a box near the flag, then wait until a helicopter arrives which causes a 10-second countdown to start. After that, you have to wait until the countdown strikes zero and you enter a cutscene which indicates the end of the game.


Completing this achievement will give you Stetson Hat.

For this achievement, you need to cook 20 meals (natural, packaged or shrooms origin) in total which can be done by using a campfire or Portable Stove found in Luggage. Once you've acquired any meal, cook until it receives the "Cooked" status in the item's name (which can also be indicated by a slight change in colour). This can be achieved through multiple sessions and it will not reset if you do it in one session.


Completing this achievement will give you Chef's Hat.

|| MULTIPLAYER REQUIRED || For this achievement, you will need to light up 5 campfires which are located at the end of each biome. This can be achieved through multiple sessions and it will not reset if you do it in one session.


Completing this achievement will give you School Uniform.

For this achievement, you need to place a total of 10 pitons. This achievement will not reset if you aren't able to place 10 pitons in one session.


Completing this achievement will give you Starry Eyes.

For this achievement, you must restore 200 total poison by using items. Can be restoring yourself, or ally scouts. This does not need to be done in one run.

Completing this achievement will give you Vampire Fangs.

For this achievement, you need to eat 5 different fruits in a single expedition. This can be done by going around each biome and finding their respective fruits, then eat the fruits once you've found them.


Completing this achievement will give you Tongue Mouth.

For this achievement, equip a mythical item which can be found in Ancient Luggage or Ancient Statue located near the campfire of each biome.









Completing this achievement will give you Wizard Hat.

For this achievement, you must escape the island in a solo expedition (aka singleplayer session). This achievement will not work if you reach PEAK alone (assuming others left during the ascend) in a multiplayer session.

TIPS: It is highly recommended for you to set your difficulty to Tenderfoot as it reduces the amount of problems you face when climbing up (mainly regarding stamina and hunger).

Completing this achievement will give you Wolf Ears.

|| MULTIPLAYER REQUIRED + FOUR PLAYERS || For this achievement, you will to have at least 4 players for it to work. You need to revive 3 dead players (all ghosts) by using the Ancient Statue available near the campfire at the end of each biome.


Completing this achievement will give you Sailor's Hat.

For this achievement, you need to escape the island without taking any kind of fall damage. With that logic, this means getting flung by a tornado in the MESA biome will instantly void this achievement. However, injury from opening an Ancient Luggage will not void this achievement.

TIPS: Let go of walls before your stamina bar runs out, if you hold onto a wall with zero stamina, you'll slide off and enter a "falling" state, which makes you more prone to greater fall damage. If you plan on going down safely, leave a small amount of stamina so that you're able to occasionally grab the walls and slowly descend if it seems unlikely you're able to climb to your objective.

Completing this achievement will give you Russell's Outfit.

For this achievement, you need to escape the island without placing down an item. Any item that requires you to hold left click (or pressing E for Pitons) to be placed will instantly void the achievement for you (this affects EVERYONE if done in multiplayer session).

TIPS: Items such as Magic Bean and Shelf Fungus do not void the achievement as they are not placed, but thrown instead when you're using them.


Completing this achievement will give you Incognito Face.

For this achievement, you must escape the island in under an hour. However, the achievement will not work if you escape the island in exactly 1 hour when displayed during the helicopter cutscene.

Completing this achievement will give you Messenger Cap.

For this achievement, you need to equip the illustrious, all-mighty, omnipotent being named Bing Bong which can be found at the plane crash site at SHORE biome. Once you have possibly the BEST thing in the game, simply make your way up and escape the island with Bing Bong.

IMPORTANT: Don't burn Bing Bong or you will be damned to the DEEPEST PARTS OF HELL to suffer for the sins you've committed against Bing Bong kind. But on a serious note, burning it won't make the achievement impossible to obtain for that session. You can still get it regardless of the state of his luxurious exterior.


PS: You will be rewarded with EVERYTHING you have ever desired in life because of your selfless act to preserve the one and only Bing Bong. Yippie! :D

(okay i might've gotten carried away with this)

Completing this achievement will give you Propeller Hat.

For this achievement, you need to escape the island without consuming any kind of packaged food. Packaged food refers to items that are found "packaged" in Luggage (examples like Trail Mix, Granola Bar, Scout Cookies, Big Lollipop and more). The only consumables you can use that come from luggages are healing items.

TIPS: Pandora's Lunchbox and Cure-All are considered natural items. Therefore, those items when used will not void the achievement.

Completing this achievement will give you Flower Garland.

For this achievement, you need to eat the following items which are Half Coconut (found at SHORE biome), Honeycomb (found at TROPICS biome), Yellow Winterberry (found at MESA/ALPINE biome) and Egg (made from breaking Bird Egg that's found at CALDERA biome). After finding those items, use a campfire or Portable Stove to cook them until the item's name receives a "Cooked" condition or they become darker in colour. Then, eat all of them and ultimately escape the island (or the achievement won't register).




TIPS: You don't have to necessarily eat them in order for those who are wondering. The achievement will register regardless of whatever order you eat them in. Also, here's some instructions on how to spot each of the item you need:

1. Coconut is found on top of palm trees in SHORE biome. Simply throw it to the ground by pressing "Q" button and it'll break into two Half Coconuts.
2. Honeycomb is found after breaking Beehives (good indicator that you're near a Beehive is that it produces a "buzzing" sound and there are bees flying around it). However, once you've taken the Beehive, the bees will follow you until a certain distance and possibly inflict poison damage, so be careful when approaching it. Beehives are usually located on trees in TROPICS biome.
3. Yellow Winterberry is found on top of a Capybara's head. Capybaras are located in a hot spring which can be indicated by a steam coming out of it which is located in MESA/ALPINE biome. Although, be wary that if the hot spring's colour is vibrant blue, it means that it's a mirage and will disappear as you approach closer.
4. Egg is found from breaking a Bird Egg which is located in CALDERA biome.

Completing this achievement will give you Mouth and Monster Eyes.

For this achievement, you must eat four different non-toxic mushrooms in a single expedition. This has to be done in one session or the achievement progress will reset.

1. Cluster Shroom has a smooth stem, whereas toxic ones have fuzzy rings around the stem.
2. Bugle Shroom should have a smooth stem, while toxic ones have veins below the cap.
2. Button Shroom must have an "X" shape on top, toxic ones have dark spots.
3. Chubby Shroom is always safe to eat.


TIPS: Shroom will occasionally spawn in bundles and they have a chance to be any of the four varieties listed above, each having their own toxic and non-toxic versions. They sometimes do not spawn at all (if this happens, restart the game). For a better shot at getting this achievement, set the difficulty to Tenderfoot to ease up issues (if you are facing them). Spawns of Shroom are random, so it comes down to pure luck to find them.

Completing this achievement will give you Mushroom Cap.

|| MULTIPLAYER REQUIRED || For this achievement, you will need to heal a total of 100% health in a single expedition using Bandage or First Aid Kit.

IMPORTANT: This needs to be done in one session or the progress for the achievement will reset.


Completing this achievement will give you Medic Helmet.

For this achievement, you need to escape the island without ever losing consciousness (which is indicated by you entering third-party view and having dizzy eyes).

TIPS: If you want to easily get this achievement, try setting your difficulty to Tenderfoot so that you'll encounter less problems with your stamina and hunger when climbing up. Another thing is that you should avoid risky manoeuvres (like climbing tall, steep ledges) unless absolutely necessary or you're confident that you will make such feat.


Completing this achievement will give you Scoutmaster Outfit.

For this achievement, you'll need to equip a Bugle or Bugle of Friendship (BoF is multiplayer only) which can be found in Luggage located at each biome. Once you've acquired it, make your way to the MESA/ALPINE biome and find the Capybaras in a hot spring which can spawn anywhere in the biome. After finding the Capybaras, play the Bugle and the achievement will be registered.


Completing this achievement will give you Kril Hat.

For this achievement, you will need to locate a really big tree (you will know when you see it) at the TROPICS biome. Then, climb up until you reach the very top of the tree and the achievement will be registered.

TIPS: Unless you're really good at rationing your supplies or are able to make your way up the tree as efficiently as possible, I suggest finding one that's located near a mountain, so that you can simply just climb the mountain instead and land on top of the tree by jumping down.




Example of a really big tree near a mountain, taken 16/8/2025:


Completing this achievement will give you Realistic Eyes.

For this achievement, you need to blow a Scoutmaster's Bugle which can be found in Ancient Statue or Ancient Luggage and play it to spawn Scoutmaster Myres. Once he spawns, simply go up to him and allow him to kill you. The achievement will be registered after your death.

Alternatively, you can do this in multiplayer by hosting a game, then asking your scout friends to stay back as you climb up the mountains. This will eventually cause him to spawn once you're far away enough from your scout friends.


Completing this achievement will give you Inverted Eyes.

For this achievement, you need to place or deploy 100M of rope in a single run. Requires ~8 Rope Spools to finish. Anti-Rope Spool and Anti-Rope Canon also count towards this achievement and will be registered.

TIPS: Rope Spools are 12.5M long, while Rope Canons are 7.5M long which can be found in Luggage in each biome. Playing on Tenderfoot is the best way to get this as it'll make it more straightforward to complete.


Completing this achievement will give you Ribbon Bow.

|| MULTIPLAYER REQUIRED || For this achievement, you'll have to heal your unconscious (you can tell when their eyes become dizzy) scout friend before they die by quickly using a Bandage or First Aid Kit which can be found in Luggage at each biome. Once they've recovered, the achievement will be registered.

TIPS: You can easily get this badge by asking you or your scout friend to jump off a tall area to take as much damage as possible until they collapse, which you or your scout friend will immediately come to heal before they die.


Completing this achievement will give you Sailor's Outfit.

For this achievement, you are required to climb a total of 5000M in the game. This can be achieved through multiple sessions, it will not reset if you do it in one session.


Completing this achievement will give you Headband.

For this achievement, you need to open 15 Luggages (any kind works) which can be found at each biome in a single expedition.

IMPORTANT: This needs to be done in one session or the progress for the achievement will reset.

Completing this achievement will give you Eyepatch.

For this achievement, you need to acquire all of Scoutmaster Myres' journal entries which total to 8 scrolls. The scrolls can be found at the campfire located at the end of each biome. Once you've found them, make sure to open the scrolls and read until your Steam achievement updates, in order to guarantee that you've read them.

The following scrolls in chronological order:
Diary → Mushrooms → Campfire → Occult → Cold → Napberry → Left Behind → Rule 0




IMPORTANT: After a recent patch, the scrolls now spawn in a chronological order regardless of which biome you are at. This means it should be easier to acquire the achievement as now you only need to reach the end of each biome to find the scroll instead of climbing to specific biomes.


Completing this achievement will give you Broken Glasses.

For this achievement, you need to climb 50M upwards vertically without ever touching the ground right after you start climbing. This can be done in the following ways:

1. The easiest way is to eat as much meals as possible until your stamina bar is maxed out, so that you're able to conveniently climb upwards without any issues.
2. Use Energy Drink and climb up as it provides 8 seconds of extra bonus climb speed. Alternatively, you can use Big Lollipop instead as it locks your stamina bar for 8 seconds. (its recommended choose option #1 unless you're limited on resources)

IMPORTANT: It's recommended for you to try climbing STEEP SLOPES as this prevents you from hitting any unnecessary terrain (grassy spots) which could possibly void the achievement. That being said, climbing near flat areas is not encouraged in order to maximise your chances of making sure the achievement is registered.


Completing this achievement will give you Ninja Headband.
