PEAK Game Yellow Winterberry Guide
The Yellow Winterberry is a rare fruit in PEAK tied to the Gourmand Badge and found only in one specific spot. To get it, you’ll need to locate the capybaras in the Alpine biome.
Where to Find the Yellow Winterberry
Look for the Alpine Biome
You won’t find the Yellow Winterberry near the starting Shore. You need to climb into the Alpine biome first, which is a higher section of the island. The berry only spawns near capybaras, and those animals only appear in this upper region.
Follow the Smoke
To locate the capybaras, look for rising smoke in the distance while climbing. You can’t see it from the shoreline. Once you're high enough, keep an eye out for a thin trail of smoke, which marks the capybara camp.
Spot the Capybaras
Once you reach the smoke, look around for capybaras sitting peacefully near a small fire. Near or on them, you’ll find two Yellow Winterberries guaranteed. This is currently the only consistent way to get the berry in the game.
What the Yellow Winterberry Does
The berry can be cooked and eaten, which counts toward unlocking the Gourmand Badge. This badge requires you to eat four special cooked items before escaping. The Yellow Winterberry is one of them, and it’s often the hardest to find.
Other Bonus: Animal Serenading Badge
While you're there, you can also use the Bugle (found earlier in the run, usually near a crash site) to play music for the capybaras. Doing this unlocks the Animal Serenading Badge and gives you a capybara-themed hat for your character.
Final Blurb
The Yellow Winterberry in PEAK isn’t just rare, it’s tied to two achievements and only shows up once per run.
If you want the Gourmand Badge or just a goofy capybara hat, track the smoke, find the capybaras, and grab the berry fast before someone else eats it first.
