To unlock the Realistic Eyes cosmetic in PEAK, you need to earn the Arborist Badge Achievement by climbing to the top of a very tall tree. Not just any tree... it needs to have tall stems and luggage stuck in its branches.
This is one of the trickier cosmetics to unlock, especially if you're not used to vertical climbing in tight spaces. Here's how to pull it off without falling flat.
Where to Find the Tree
You’ll need to keep an eye out for a very tall, branchy tree during your expedition. These trees are most commonly found in forested zones, especially between the Shore and Alpine regions.
Look for the following signs:
Tall trunk with obvious climbable segments
Branches sticking out with luggage or gear hanging on them
Often stands alone or slightly off the main route
Once you see it, don’t just sprint up. Plan your route... this climb is rough without stamina boosts or pitons.
How to Climb the Tree
Start from the base and slowly work your way up using jump grabs or climbing segments
Use pitons or ropes if needed to catch your breath or secure progress
Stamina and health should be topped off before you commit
Once you reach the highest luggage or platform on the tree, the Arborist Badge will unlock automatically
There’s no menu popup. Just check your cosmetics when you get back to base.
Where to Equip Realistic Eyes
Back at the airport, press 1 to pull out your passport. Open the customization menu and you’ll find Realistic Eyes listed under your unlocked cosmetics.
Equip it and enjoy looking deeply uncomfortable for the rest of your climb.
Final Blurb
This one’s not just about being creepy. It’s a tough climb with an odd reward, but hey that’s PEAK.
FAQ
Q: Do I have to reach the peak to unlock the tree?
No, the tree can appear earlier in your run, usually before you reach Alpine elevation.
Q: Can I use pitons or rope and still get the badge?
Yes, using gear to help climb is totally allowed.
Q: What happens if I fall halfway up the tree?
Nothing is lost, but you’ll have to start the climb again. You don’t get the badge until you reach the very top.
Q: Is the tree climb repeatable if I miss it?
Yes, the tree can show up in future runs. Keep exploring.
