PEAK Guide: How to Revive Teammates

Nothing tests friendship quite like watching your climbing buddy plummet into the abyss during a PEAK expedition. Fortunately, this co-op mountaineering adventure gives you multiple ways to bring fallen teammates back into action. Whether someone took a fatal tumble or succumbed to the mountain's harsh conditions, you'll need to master these revival techniques to keep your team intact and reach those summit goals together.

What Happens When Teammates Fall?

In PEAK, there's a crucial difference between knocked-out and fully deceased teammates. When someone takes damage from falls or environmental hazards, they might enter a downed state where they're unconscious but not completely gone. However, if they sustain too much damage or fall from extreme heights, they'll die completely and require different revival methods. Understanding this distinction determines which revival strategy you'll need to employ.

PEAK knocked-out teammate 

Method 1: Scout Effigy Revival

Scout Effigies represent your most immediate revival option for completely dead teammates. These rare, single-use items pack serious revival power but come with significant limitations.

How Scout Effigies Work

When you find a Scout Effigy during your climb, you're holding a lifeline for one fallen teammate. Here's the process:

• Locate the effigy in your inventory
• Approach the area where your teammate died
• Activate the effigy to bring them back to life
• The revived player returns with basic health

Method 2: Healing Downed Teammates

For teammates in the knocked-out state, you can revive them using medical supplies without consuming precious Effigies.

Required Items for Field Revival

You'll need either:

• Bandages for basic healing
• Medical Packs for more substantial recovery

Revival Process

1. Drop your downed teammate on the ground using the carry controls
2. Equip your chosen healing item (bandages or medipack)
3. Right-click while targeting your teammate
4. Wait for the healing animation to complete
5. Your teammate wakes up with restored health

The healing approach also works for other consumables - you can even feed teammates food items to help with various status effects or achievement requirements.

Method 3: Altar Revival at Campsites

Altars provide the most reliable team revival method, bringing back your entire squad regardless of how many members you've lost.

Finding Campsite Altars

PEAK Game Campfire

As you progress through PEAK's vertical challenges, you'll discover campsites scattered throughout the climbing routes. These safe havens feature:

• Campfires for warmth and rest
• Supply caches with useful items
• Altars positioned near the campfire areas

Using Altar Revival

Altar interaction couldn't be simpler:

1. Approach the Altar at any campsite
2. Interact with the structure
3. All deceased teammates instantly return to life
4. The entire team spawns at the campsite location

This method makes Altars incredibly valuable for teams that have suffered multiple casualties during particularly challenging climbing sections.

Method 4: Temple Revival (End-game method)

Temples located at regional peaks offer the ultimate revival solution, though reaching them requires significant commitment.

Temple Locations and Access

Each major region in PEAK culminates with a Temple structure at its highest point. These locations serve multiple purposes:

• Regional completion markers
• Full team revival points
• Progress checkpoints for future climbs

Temple Revival Benefits

Unlike other methods, Temple revival offers:

• Complete team restoration
• Full health recovery for all members
• Regional progress preservation
• No resource consumption

However, the challenge lies in actually reaching these temples, especially with a depleted team.

Revival Tips and Tricks 

Reviving in PEAK isn’t just about pressing a button. It takes timing, smart thinking, and teamwork. First off, don’t waste your Scout Effigies if there’s an Altar nearby. Those things are rare and should only be used when you really have no other option. Also, keep in mind that medical supplies can only help knocked-out teammates, not the fully gone ones. If someone’s completely out, they’ll need to be brought back another way.

Be smart about where you try to revive. If the area’s too dangerous, you’ll just end up on the ground too. And don’t let one person carry all the healing items. Share them around so everyone has a chance to stay in the game.

Honestly, the best revival tip is to avoid needing one in the first place. Talk to your teammates. Call out tricky jumps or sketchy ledges before someone messes up. Make sure gear is spread out so everyone’s equipped. Take a minute to look ahead and figure out the safest path. And always know where the closest Altar is before you attempt anything risky. Playing smart from the start makes everything easier.

Revive me Bro

Few things are funnier (and more painful) than watching your teammate yeet themselves off a cliff with full confidence and zero plan. In PEAK, death happens fast. One bad jump, one mistimed grab, and boom. They’re a ragdoll at the bottom while the rest of you stare in disbelief.

That’s why reviving isn’t just about picking people up. It’s about playing smart before anyone falls. Share your gear. Call out sketchy ledges. Don’t hoard all the healing. And maybe don’t try to pull off some parkour stunt mid-storm unless you’re really feeling cracked. Scout Effigies are clutch, but they’re rare. Altars are your best friends if you know where they are. And Temples? If you made it that far, you deserve a team revive anyway.
