How to Get Magic Beans in PEAK

The Magic Bean is a special traversal tool that you can find while exploring. It’s one of the rarest finds in PEAK and players will usually have to go through multiple runs before they can find it. Since the PEAK's maps are procedurally generated, there isn't a single, fixed location where you can always find a Magic Bean.

To get your hands on a Magic Bean, you need to thoroughly explore each biome, especially the Shore and Alpine biomes. Keep an eye out for a small, red bean when you're out looting.

In solo play, if you reach the end of a biome, the Ancient Statue (which is normally used for reviving players) will grant you a random mystical item. The Magic Bean is considered one of these rare, mystical items, so this is another possible way to get it. However, in our dozen hours of solo gameplay, we weren’t able to get one from it.

How to Use Magic Beans in PEAK

Once you get your hands on a Magic Bean in PEAK, you’ll quickly see why it’s one of the most useful climbing tools in the game. The Magic Bean lets you reach otherwise inaccessible places by growing into a really tall vertical beanstalk that works like a natural climbing pole. This is super helpful when you’re blocked by sheer cliffs or trying to reach elevated areas that Ropes and Pitons just can’t touch.

Using a Magic Bean is pretty straightforward: simply take the bean from your inventory, throw it onto a surface, and watch it sprout instantly into a tall, climbable structure. It’s often the only way to reach things like floating luggage or distant ledges that have no natural path.
