Unlocking the Realistic Eyes cosmetic in PEAK requires earning the Arborist Badge Achievement. To do this, you must scale an exceptionally tall tree with distinct features like vertical stems and luggage lodged in its branches. This challenge demands precision, especially for players unfamiliar with confined vertical climbs.
Locating the Tree
Search forested areas bordering the Shore and Alpine regions for these rare trees. Key identifiers include:
- Vertical trunk with visible climbing opportunities
- Outstretched branches holding luggage or equipment
- Isolated positioning away from main paths
Prepare thoroughly before ascending—stamina management is crucial without consumables or gear.
Ascension Strategy
- Progress methodically from the base using jump grabs or climbing segments
- Deploy pitons or ropes strategically to conserve stamina
- Ensure full health and stamina reserves before starting
- Reach the highest luggage or platform to trigger the achievement
No confirmation message appears—verify the unlock later in your cosmetics menu.
Equipping the Cosmetic
At the airport, access your passport (1) and navigate to customization options. Realistic Eyes will be available under unlocked cosmetics for unsettling visual flair.
