Have you tried conquering PEAK yet?
The smash hit new indie game that released on Steam on June 16, 2025 is great for groups of friends to play in co-op as they work together to climb the titular peak of a mountain in the center of an island where the group is lost. But there’s more than meets the eye to this peak.
While climbing, whether in co-op or solo play, there are some monsters and odd enemies that can hinder your progress as you climb. Along with the game not having any checkpoints or auto-saves, this can really ruin your chances of reaching the mountaintop.
One of these monsters is the Scoutmaster, a creepy, tall, green man in a straw hat who will hunt you down under some specific circumstances. But like all things in life, this particular challenge may be worth it in the end, especially if you find the Scoutmaster’s Bugle.
Here’s what we know about the Scoutmaster’s Bugle item in PEAK.
What is Scoutmaster’s Bugle in PEAK?
The Scoutmaster’s Bugle is a rare item that you can use in solo play to summon the Scoutmaster monster. This also triggers an achievement and unlocks a special cosmetic, so it’s worth using if you come across it while playing PEAK in solo mode.
If you find the Scoutmaster’s Bugle, equip it and use it, and the Scoutmaster will begin to hunt you down, so be prepared for his assault.
How to get Scoutmaster’s Bugle in PEAK
Scoutmaster’s Bugle is an item that has an incredibly low spawn rate and is very rare to find, and it can only be found when playing solo. The Scoutmaster will otherwise appear if you are playing in a group and someone gets too far ahead of the rest of the team.
Both in solo play via the Scoutmaster’s Bugle or in co-op when someone goes too far ahead, spawning the Scoutmaster will unlock the Mentorship Badge achievement (let Scoutmaster pick you up and throw you) and also grants players the Inverted Eyes cosmetic.
