PEAK Tips & Tricks

Before You Start

The Final Ascent is confirmed as completely free for existing owners -- there's no additional purchase needed to access The Gloom and The Citadel once the update lands.

This is a genuinely challenging co-op experience where mistakes carry real consequences -- go in expecting injuries, stamina management, and environmental hazards to matter, not just careful climbing execution.

Preparing for The Gloom and The Citadel

Since these two new biomes are confirmed to only appear back-to-back rather than randomly connected like other biomes, budget for a longer, more sustained challenge when you reach them rather than expecting a single self-contained encounter.

Watching for the New Threat

Since a lurking monster that actively hunts players is confirmed as new to this update, stay alert during Gloom and Citadel runs specifically -- this represents a genuine shift from the game's usual environmental-hazard-focused danger.

Common Mistakes

• Assuming the mountain layout will feel familiar between runs -- it's semi-procedurally generated and changes with every attempt.
• Rushing your climb without managing stamina and injuries -- both are confirmed as genuinely important survival factors, not minor inconveniences.
