PEAK Game Tall Man Guide (Scoutmaster)
If someone mentions the “Tall Man” in PEAK, they’re probably talking about the Scoutmaster. He’s not a myth. He’s real, he’s fast, and he will absolutely ruin your climb if you’re not careful.
Here’s how to find him, survive him, and maybe even unlock a reward for your trouble.
How to Find the Tall Man in PEAK
Multiplayer: Triggered by separation
If you’re climbing in multiplayer and get too far ahead of your team, the Tall Man shows up. This is PEAK’s way of punishing lone wolves. The moment you break formation, he locks onto the furthest player and starts the chase.
You’ll hear a hissing noise, see your screen distort, and then get grabbed and tossed. Most of the time, that means a full health wipe and a hard fall. Your team probably can’t reach you in time to revive you.
Solo: Use the Scoutmaster’s Bugle
In solo, there’s only one way to meet him on purpose: find and use the Scoutmaster’s Bugle. This rare item spawns in luggage or statues and triggers the same exact encounter. You’ll get a full stamina refill when you blow it, but it also summons the Tall Man.
The chase lasts around 60 seconds, and if you survive, you’ll unlock the Mentorship Badge and a rare cosmetic.
Can You Kill the Tall Man in PEAK?
No. You can’t hurt him, stun him, or stop him. Blow darts don’t work. Nothing does. He grabs, throws, and disappears.
Your only option is to run. Try to create distance and survive for a full minute. If you do, the encounter ends and you’re safe... for now.
Why Bother Summoning Him?
If you’re trying to complete all badges or get the Inverted Eye cosmetic, surviving the Tall Man is a requirement. Solo players especially will need to find the Bugle and trigger the encounter to unlock both rewards.
Multiplayer players can trigger it naturally by getting ahead, but only the targeted player gets the cosmetic.
Final Blurb
The Tall Man isn’t just a spooky myth in PEAK... he’s a deadly mechanic. Don’t stray too far in co-op, and if you’re going solo, think twice before blowing that horn unless you’re ready to run like your life depends on it.
