How to Use the Checkpoint Flag in Peak: Complete Strategy, Crafting, and Usage Guide
By Sophia Al-Mansoor
Blindly hammering a flag into the first open surface is a quick route to disaster. Safe placement demands spatial awareness. You need a flat shelf with at least two meters of clearance on all sides.
Look for stable root junctions where massive burls jut outward from the main trunk. These natural platforms shield respawning climbers from falling debris, wind buffeting, and immediate vertigo slips. Never plant a flag on sloped moss or decaying wood. When a teammate respawns with basic momentum, a slick surface will send them sliding over the edge before their character model fully initializes.
Timing your deployment matters just as much. The optimal moment to drop a flag is immediately prior to a blind traverse or an inverted ceiling section. Establishing the anchor before testing uncertain terrain keeps a single slip from wiping out your entire session.
