In PEAK, you can earn 32 badges by completing various conditions and achievements. Some are straightforward, while others are less obvious and require broader interpretation. Some badges are not so easy to obtain, especially when it comes to the "Lone Wolf" badge. To earn it, you need to prepare thoroughly and make an effort, as a challenging path awaits the lone wolf.

How to Unlock the Lone Wolf Badge in PEAK

To unlock the Lone Wolf badge in PEAK, you need to complete the game in solo mode from start to finish. Although it sounds straightforward and "easy," doing so will be extremely challenging—especially when you don't have teammates to support and assist you.

It's important to note that you CANNOT earn the badge in co-op mode. So, if you are the only one in the group who reaches the final, regardless of where your allies are (whether they've become ghosts or fallen behind), you won't receive the badge.

Below, we provide you with some crucial tips on how to complete the game solo and earn the coveted Lone Wolf badge and achievement in PEAK.

Tip #1: Choose the Right Starting Items

At the beginning of your solo run, choose your gear wisely. For example, a flashlight is unnecessary in the early stages of the game—it will be much more useful later, especially in the Alps, where it makes navigation much easier.

A torch and compass are also unnecessary—they are useless items for solo play. If you want to unlock an additional achievement, take the Bing Bong toy with you and carry it to the very end.

It's best to stock up on food, water, harpoons, and other items that will help you overcome the difficult path, provide extra stamina, or save you from hunger and poisoning.

Tip #2: Increase Your Stamina Reserve

The beginning of the game sets the pace for the entire playthrough. As soon as you land near the crash site, look for coconut trees. Prepare and eat the coconuts—they give a stamina bonus that you will definitely need.

Don't be afraid to use this bonus stamina where it makes sense. If a safe route requires more energy, choose it. The risk of falling or getting stuck is not worth the saved strength. In PEAK, the varied environment—especially the slippery rocks in the Tropics—often presents surprises. Spending stamina on safety is not wasteful; it's the right strategy.

Boost your stamina with sports drinks (do not confuse them with energy drinks). Use energy drinks and large candies as needed, but remember: you will later receive a sleepiness debuff for some time.

Tip #3: Use Your Gear—Don't Save It "For Later"

One of the most common mistakes in solo play is hoarding items "just in case." In PEAK, the mountain is literally littered with crates, backpacks, and loot. If a grappling hook helps you reach a hard-to-access platform, use it without hesitation. If a climb seems impossibly steep and a Large Candy gives you the needed boost, eat it.

Finishing the game with a full backpack offers no advantage. All your gear is your survival kit. The game often "returns" used items right after a tough section. So don't save them—use them wisely.

Tip #4: Don't Rush!

In co-op mode, rushing isn't scary because someone can pick you up after a failed fall, offer a helping hand, etc. But in solo mode, acting quickly and thoughtlessly is not advisable. One wrong step or jump, and it's all over. Before each climb or risky jump, stop. Look around. Assess the situation. Almost always, there's a safer route nearby—if you don't rush and think it through.

In chaotic zones—like the Tropics, where rocks are filled with traps—you'll need to think outside the box. Climb trees, use vines, walk on thick roots. The obvious path is rarely the best one.

And if it seems like the path has ended—just take a closer look. Often, a "dead end" can be overcome with the right tool or a different perspective on the situation.

Tip #5: Know Your Natural Enemy (Biome Dangers)

Every biome in PEAK has its unique threats. Knowing them in advance will help you avoid death.

• On the coast, stay as far away as possible from jellyfish and sea urchins—they are poisonous. It's better to travel by land.

• The Tropics are dense and dangerous. Avoid poisonous plants, explosive growths, and hives. Additionally, rain makes rocks slippery, and visibility minimal. If you can, wait out the rain in a safe place.

• In the Alps, you'll encounter snow and frost. Blizzards occur periodically, and staying outdoors can cause frostbite. Take shelter in caves, between rocks, or among trees. Bright blue ice is almost always dangerous, so it's best to avoid it.

• The Caldera is a hot biome. Lava flows activate periodically here. If you see stones starting to glow, move away: they will ignite soon. Cross or jump only during safe moments.

• Inside the Crucible, the final biome, there should be no mistakes. Everything here is on edge—every step you take matters. Avoid hot stones, stay higher, and most importantly—don't fall.
