What is the easiest way to earn all PEAK achievements?
It is recommended to play PEAK at the Tenderfoot difficulty level to easily unlock all achievements. The benefits of this difficulty include:
- Reduced stamina usage when climbing
- Slower rate of hunger depletion
- No time constraints
These advantages make it an ideal setting to familiarize yourself with the game, particularly when collaborating with friends. Plus, the enjoyment remains intact as you have fewer concerns to manage.
Tenderfoot is the initial difficulty setting, followed by the standard mode (Peak). Upon completing the game in Peak difficulty, players can then unlock Ascent levels 1 through 7 in sequence.
