Navigating the treacherous landscapes of PEAK can be extremely challenging. However, collecting various items can ease some of the inevitable hardships encountered during gameplay.
As you ascend through beautiful yet perilous areas aiming for the summit, you’ll discover a multitude of items–ranging from food to gear and other miscellaneous tools–scattered in the wilderness and stored in Luggages (chests). Although it’s wise to gather useful items as you find them, your inventory space is limited to three slots, and the initial backpack you receive accommodates only four items.
Being familiar with all the items available in PEAK and understanding their effects will enable you to make better decisions regarding what to keep and what to discard. Below is a comprehensive guide.
