PEAK Mesa Biome Tips & Guide
The Mesa biome in Peak is a harsh desert stage full of hazards like extreme sun, tornadoes, antlion dens, dynamite, and cacti. Success depends on heat management, smart movement, and hazard awareness.
Stick to Shadows or Travel at Night
Stay out of direct sunlight whenever possible to avoid heat buildup. Move from shadow to shadow and plan your route ahead. Sunblock, Aloe Vera, and Parasols help reduce or prevent heat damage. At night, the sun’s damage stops, but visibility drops, so watch for hidden hazards.
Handle Dynamite Safely
Dynamite ignites when you get close, giving you a few seconds before it explodes. Pick it up and throw it away instead of running blindly, which can push you into other dangers.
Avoid Cacti and Watch for Tornadoes
Cacti inflict the Thorns effect until spikes are removed. If a tornado is nearby, keep distance from cacti to avoid being launched into them. Parasols can help control your landing.
Heal Heat When Possible
Aloe Vera is the most reliable heat cure. Sunscreen protects against heat, and Capybara pools also cool you down. Winterberries carried by Capybaras can help as well.
Use Pickaxes Sparingly
Embedded pickaxes can act as temporary pitons for stamina recovery, but they loosen over time. Listen for cracking sounds and don’t hang on too long.
Look for Capybaras
Capybaras in the Mesa offer a cooling oasis. They can also help you earn the Animal Serenading Badge if you bring a Bugle.
Final Blurb
The Mesa is all about timing, patience, and resource use. Keep your heat under control, respect the hazards, and you’ll have a much smoother climb through Peak’s toughest desert.
