In the immersive world of Peak, every item you encounter serves a distinct purpose. Some are indispensable survival tools, aiding in recovery from injuries or staving off hunger to prolong your ascent. Others, however, possess the potential to disastrously impact an entire expedition, especially when playing with mischievous companions eager to capture a viral moment.
A unique challenge in Peak lies in its item descriptions: while the game provides a name, it rarely explains an item`s function. While some items` uses are apparent at first glance, many others require careful consideration before deployment to avoid penalties or inadvertently affecting your team`s progress. Fear not, intrepid climbers! This comprehensive guide unravels the mysteries behind every item in Peak, including elusive objects like the Strange Gem and the Crystal Skull, equipping you with the knowledge to conquer any peak.
The Ultimate Peak Item Compendium: Functions and Uses Explained
This list covers all items introduced to Peak up to the significant Mesa update, which launched on August 11, as well as subsequent minor patches. For brevity, most basic food items are omitted due to their self-explanatory effects.
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ancient Effigy | Revives any dead player or players. |
| Ancient Idol | You gain invulnerability to everything… as long as you hold it, that is. |
| Antidote | Cures poison partially. |
| Anti-rope Cannon | When shot at a surface, it releases a rope that `falls` upwards instead, starting from the point of impact. |
| Anti-rope Spool | It releases a rope that `falls` upwards instead. |
| Backpack | It can carry up to four items. |
| Bandages | Restores health partially. |
| Berrynana | You can throw it on the ground to cause other people to fall. |
| Big Lollipop | Grants infinite stamina for about seven seconds, and inflicts the drowsy status immediately after. |
| Bing Bong | Basically just a cute plushie, and part of a tough achievement that involves finishing a run while carrying it, in a similar fashion to Gnome Chompski in Left 4 Dead 2. |
| Binoculars | No abnormal effect here. They`re just binoculars. |
| Blowgun | Shoots a dart that clears negative status except for the curse status. The player who receives the shot will be temporarily drowsy. |
| Bounce Fungus | Creates a mushroom platform when thrown at a surface, making for a good spot to rest while climbing. |

| Bugle of Friendship | Boosts everybody`s stamina momentarily. |
| Cactus | It does nothing, but beware of its thorns if you throw it around. |
| Chain Launcher | Shoots a chain to the spot you`re aiming at. Be mindful of your current stamina before committing to it. |
| Compass | Points north, which matches the peak of the mountain. |
| Conch | It does nothing. You can throw it at your friends if you want, though. |
| Cure-All | Cures all negative statuses. |
| Cursed Skull | Heals allies at the expense of your own health. |
| Dynamite | Causes an explosion, which can also cook items. |
| Energy Drink | Increases speed momentarily while inflicting the drowsy status afterward. |
| Faerie Lantern | Gets rid of all negative statuses. It doesn`t help with hunger. |
| First Aid Kit | If injured, it restores all of your health, while also curing poison. |
| Flare | This emits a big smoke cloud that alerts others of your location. It`s also used at the peak to call the helicopter. |
| Flying Disk | You can just have some fun with this. |
| Heat Pack | When used, it gradually removes cold for some time. Useful for blizzards in the Alpine biome. |
| Lantern | Emits light, and its heat also removes cold gradually. |
| Magic Bean | It summons a beanstalk, which is great for climbing. |
| Pandora`s Lunchbox | It removes all negative effects upon use, but you also get a random assortment of new effects, which can be either positive or negative. Thanks, Pandora. |

| Piton | Adds a piton on any suitable surface that you can grab onto to restore stamina. |

| Remedy Fungus | It creates a healing mist when thrown against the ground. If you`re playing with others, make sure you`re all gathered together first. |
| Rope Cannon | Shoots a harpoon to where you`re aiming, which releases a rope in the place of impact. |

| Torch | A great source of light, albeit limited. |
| Scout Cannon | You can shoot yourself from a long distance with it. |

| Torn Page | Mostly for an achievement, which tasks you with collecting eight Torn Pages. |
| Weird Shroom | No weird side effects, it just restores your health partially. |
