The purpose of Cursed Skull in Peak game. Watch out for this item
Climbing is dangerous in Peak, so you or your teammates can die. One of the items which can help in this situation is Cursed Skull. However, there is a price to pay.

Co-op games are a perfect way to spend time with friends. Productions like Human: Fall Flat or POPUCOM are perfect examples. Four days ago, a new interesting game appeared on PC (sadly, it is not available on consoles yet). As the title suggests, Peak is about climbing to the top of the mountain. You have to work together with your teammates to achieve that (or play an offline single player mode). Of course, it’s not a safe activity, so you (or them) can sometimes die. So, what to do in this scenario? Let’s answer this question.
The purpose of Cursed Skull in Peak
In Peak you will find many interesting items that can help you in one way or another. One of the most unique relicts is the Cursed Skull. It revives all your nearby dead teammates, removes all status effects and restores their full stamina. However, there is a catch – this item kills a person who used it in return. Wel it is CURSED after all.
So, it’s a good item to use when most of your friends are dead. You will sacrifice yourself to have a bigger team and increase your chances for success. Of course, it’s not an ideal way to resolve the problem because there are other methods to revive teammates. However, in extreme situations, Cursed Skull can pay off.
How to revive in Peak?
As I mentioned earlier, you and your teammates can be revived in a couple different ways. This is a good time to look at them:
- The easiest of them is to use an item called Effigy. However, you must keep in mind that you can use it once, so be careful not to use it by accident. It’s quite rare, so getting another one may be a problem.
- From time to time, you will find Campfires. There are Altars next to them. If you interact with them, they can revive the team.
- Additionally, at the peak of each region, you will find a Temple that works the same way as Altars.
As you can see, death of your teammates is not a big problem. You will always find a way to revive them.
