Learn how to avoid packaged foods and survive on natural ones like berries and mushrooms to earn the Flower Garland in PEAK.
PEAK is a co-op climbing game that challenges players with survival elements, hostile landscapes, and a time limit represented by encroaching fog. Although each run takes players through the same four biomes, the map changes every 24 hours. Another incentive to keep players coming back for more is PEAK’s many achievements, each of which unlocks a cosmetic upon completion and is marked by a badge on the achiever’s sash.
The Naturalist Badge unlocks the vibrant Flower Garland cosmetic and is one of the most difficult to complete. To get the Naturalist Badge, you have to complete an entire run by reaching the Peak without eating processed food even once. This article will highlight all the processed foods to avoid and their natural alternatives to look for.
How To Get the Naturalist Badge in PEAK
You can unlock the naturalist badge by completing a run at any difficulty without eating packaged and processed food. These foods are generally found at the starting area around the plane crash and in the luggage scattered across the biomes. Forgoing packaged foods is a considerable disadvantage during the run, as they get rid of hunger effectively, add bonuses, and have multiple uses.
Hunger saps your stamina bar, growing quickly while climbing. Hence, you will have to look for the food growing in each biome to keep hunger at bay while choosing the quickest path forward. We recommend playing on Tenderfoot difficulty to get the achievement as painlessly as possible with no downsides. Here are all the packaged and processed food items off the table for the Naturalist Badge run:
- Airline Food
- Antidote
- Big Lollipop
- Energy Drink
- Granola Bar
- Marshmallow
- Scout Cookies
- Sports Drink
- Thick Mints
- Trial Mix
Packaged food can account for nearly half the food you find on a run, making it essential to identify safe, natural foods to consume.
Natural Food Items
As stated in the in-game survival guide, natural foods can be poisonous, and eating them inflicts temporary poison damage to your stamina bar. Since the Antidote also counts as packaged food, it is imperative to know which natural foods are safe.
Each mushroom has a poisonous variant and a safe one. Distinguish between them with the help of our article on the subject here. The Green and Yellow Kingberries deal poison damage but also replenish quite some hunger. All other natural foods are safe to eat. The game’s natural foods include:
- Blue Berrynana
- Bugle Shroom
- Button Shroom
- Chubby Shroom
- Clusters Shroom
- Coconut
- Green Crispberry
- Green Kingberry
- Honeycomb
- Medicinal Root
- Orange Winterberry
- Red Crispberry
- Yellow Kingberry
- Yellow Winterberry
