PEAK Game 2 Player Tips (Co-op Guide)
You can play PEAK co op with two players, but it is harder than playing solo or with a full team. You will need better planning, smarter item use, and strong communication.
Work Together on Every Climb
One player should go first and drop a Rope Spool or Rope Cannon so the other can follow. Do not try to free-climb together unless you both have Pitons or a safe ledge nearby.
If one person finds a Magic Bean, save it. It lets you climb a huge distance solo if your partner gets stuck or dies.

Split Your Roles
One player should focus on support items like Faerie Lantern, Remedy Fungus, or Bugle of Friendship. The other should carry tools like Portable Stove, Piton, or a Lantern.
This way, one of you can lead climbs while the other keeps both of you alive during cold, falls, or poison.
Reviving in Two-Player Runs
You can revive an unconscious teammate using Bandages or a First-Aid Kit. These are found in luggage caches.
If they die completely, you will need to use a Scout Effigy or find a campfire altar to bring them back. These are one-time use, so make sure everyone is nearby before activating it.
Avoid Getting Separated
If you move too far apart, you can trigger the Scoutmaster, which is not something you want to deal with in a duo. Stay close, especially in fog or during night climbs.
Only split up if someone is using a rope to anchor the route and the other is safely climbing behind.
Tips for 2 Player Co-op
Let one player carry light food and tools
Use Portable Stoves to avoid freeze buildup
Save Revive items for emergency moments
Communicate before climbing new areas
Do not both eat all the food... spread it out
Final Blurb
Two-player runs in PEAK can be brutal but fun. Stick together, split your gear smartly, and climb with caution.
There is less room for mistakes, but also more high-five moments when it works out.
