In PEAK, the **Yellow Winterberry** is a scarce fruit linked to the Gourmand Badge. It exclusively grows near **capybaras** within the Alpine biome.

Locating the Yellow Winterberry

• Reach the Alpine Biome

  This biome sits higher than the starting Shore area. Without ascending, you won’t encounter the berry or its companion capybaras.

• Track the Smoke Signal

  While climbing, watch for distant smoke trails. These become visible only after reaching higher elevations and lead to the capybara camp.

• Locate the Capybara Camp

  At the smoke source, you’ll spot capybaras lounging near a fire. Two **Yellow Winterberries** always appear here, making this the sole reliable spawn point.

Yellow Winterberry Uses

When cooked and consumed, it progresses your **Gourmand Badge** unlock. This badge demands eating four unique dishes before escaping—the Yellow Winterberry is the most elusive ingredient.

Bonus: Animal Serenading Badge

Use the **Bugle** (found near crash sites) to play music for the capybaras. This grants the Animal Serenading Badge and a whimsical capybara-themed hat.
