If you’ve ever been halfway up the mountain in PEAK and wondered, “What does this random mushroom even do?” — you’re in the right place. Items are the backbone of survival in this game. From life-saving medkits and stamina boosts to trollish bugles and bananas that knock you out cold, each item has its own quirks.
Every Item Explained Guide
With the latest update, PEAK’s item system has expanded even further. There are climbing tools, healing kits, mystical artifacts, troll items, consumables that can make or break your run, and plenty of luggage to dig through. This guide covers every item in PEAK, what they do, where to find them, and little pro tips to get the most out of them.
Climbing Items
Surviving PEAK means mastering verticality. These are the items that help you scale, rest, and move smartly.
- Rope Spool – Toss a rope down with Mouse 1 + scroll wheel to pull friends up.
- Anti-Rope Spool – Same idea, but lets you climb upward.
- Rope Cannon – Shoots a rope downward.
- Anti-Rope Cannon – Shoots a rope upward.
- Chain Cannon – Fires a chain horizontally so you can travel like on a vine.
🔑 Pro Tip: Jump on the chain and slide down to save stamina and move quicker. - Paton – Plant it while climbing to recover stamina.
- Shelf Shroom – Throw with Q to spawn a platform on a wall.
- Portable Stove – Cook food and clear the freeze debuff.

- Big Luggage – Better-quality equipment.

Mushrooms
Mushrooms are everywhere and often unpredictable. Some heal, some poison, some are tied to badges. I recommend testing them in safe areas—or checking a poison guide if you don’t feel like gambling.
Mystical Items
Rare, powerful, and often found in Mystical Luggage:

Owning one of these unlocks the Esoterica Badge.
