Surviving PEAK’s wilderness hinges on knowing what to eat. Below is a categorized list of in-game food mechanics and items, optimized for climbers.

Key Mechanics

• Foraged Food: Cooking at campfires boosts effectiveness by 60-70%. Cooking three times triggers poisoning.
• Poison Management: Accumulated poison stacks can be deadly—use antidotes and Remedy Fungus strategically.
