Welcome to “Peaks of Yore: Collectibles Locations Explained” – the ultimate guide for gamers looking to uncover all the hidden treasures in this exciting game. With helpful pictures and accurate information, this guide will ensure you don’t miss a single collectible. Don’t waste your time with other guides that may have incorrect or unclear details – join us as we take a closer look at the peaks of yore.
Intro
Need those pesky items for the Great Bulwark and Solemn Tempest? Well… they are almost impossible to do first try, so having these items are a huge help!
I have reclimbed (almost) every peak and reclaimed every item to make sure this information is up-to-date and correct.
Click on any screenshot if you can’t see it properly, they will be big helps.
I WILL be actively updating this unless stated otherwise, including any DLC’s that come out.
If I miss ANYTHING, including items or wrong areas/spots, please notify me in the comments, this will (hopefully) be a long guide.
Also, I will be covering ALL items I can, including ones gained by NPC’s or upon completing a peak.
Items that I find really easy to get/not confusing or hidden will not have photo’s, trust me, you will be able to see these ones if there is no photo.
Well, lets get started then!
Starting The Great Gales (Peaks 1-6)
When you complete Paltry’s Peak, you will get a Gramophone, this serves just as some nice older tunes to listen to while in the cabin.
The Old Mill is the first peak where we are introduced with an singular item, the hat. The game is very obvious with this, with Walter telling you at the start. It is directly above slightly to the left of Walter, it is stuck in an tree branch.
To get the hat, you must climb on to the top or hang from the bottom of one of the rotors/wings of the Ol’ Mill, from there, you can grab the hat and later climb to the top.
(Picture of the dirty hat, next to a rotor of the mill, showcasing how to reach it)
After completing this peak, you will get your anchoring rope and a safety harness (that using will restrict certain achievements, but are extremely helpful)
The Gray Gully introduces only one more item for you to grab,a piece of a ripped picture, you will collect other pieces later on. The ripped photo piece can be found by climbing to the seperate path to the left, instead of the right, which is the natural path upwards.
(The path that the Coffee brothers are near)
The Lighthouse has no items. Nor anything you get upon completion.
The Old Man of Sjor has a total of 2 items you can take.
First, Porter will throw down a free piece of rope on the rock to the left of you, simply pick it up. This will give you an additional 2 rope to use.
The second item, a boot, is much more tricky to get, I would highly recommend jumping around or over the seagulls, as they make this level much more harder to complete. It will be along the left, more longer and harder path, continue upwards and go left at every chance you get.
(a picture of the dirty boot, guarded by a seagull, on the left of the picture)
After completing this peak you will get the Great Gales Map which will show which peaks you don’t have items on, and more notably, the Barometer, which is extremely useful.
Further into the Great Gales (6-12)
Giant’s Shelf has another (singular) item for you to grab on your way to the more difficult peaks, by far being the easiest item to grab, simply turn around behind the rock with your bag resting on it, and follow forwards, you will see a separate path with the sleeping bag on it.
(The blue, rolled up sleeping bag at the top of the screen, overviewing Porter and the start of the peak)
Evergreen’s End has some more items for you to grab, +2 rope. The rope will be located at the top of the left side of the peak, the normal way to ascent will follow both objects up the mountain, you will see the rope hanging from the edge of a rock that you can grab, it is clearly visible from the bottom of the peak. The second item will be a fishers cap, one that looks similar to Porter’s, it is very close to the rope, just being a little to the right, it will be before a big leap, on top of a rock with 2 branches to both sides of it.
(The dirty hat on top of a rock, in the area I previously described)
The Twins only has one item, which is Coffee, an extremely vital part of your future climbing. There are no items on the peak, however. Simply speak to the two brothers and they will hand you the coffee.
There is one item in Old Grove’s Skelf, a sort of safety helmet, it will be on the second half of the peak, when you go over the first half by climbing an overhead, you will be able to climb a little futher and easily see it.
(Just right after the overhead, you can see a path of crimp rocks following to the helmet.
After you complete this peak you will get the most useful item in the game, (before the upgraded version) the 6 point crampons.
There is another item on Hangmans Leap, some more ropes.
The ropes are after a big jump, you should see around 3 nails and a giant drop off, if you position yourself, you should be able to see the ledge with a piece of rope on it, that is where you need to grab.
(The rope BEFORE you make the leap)
After you make the leap, you should see Ms. Walker and the rope on the bottom of the ledge.
There are 2 more items on Lands End, some more rope and another piece of the photo
To get to the rope and photo, continue along the normal path, either going as far up or down as you possibly can, I would recommend upwards. Continue along the path, until you find a section where some seagulls along with a decently sized rock in the river are, aswell as a rock following where you need to go are pointing upwards, find the rope at the top, and look down/other way around, and you should see the other item. This is directly before the crux “The Temperous Pass”.
(You can clearly see the pointy rock in the background, just to make it less confusing.)
Pushing into the Harder Parts of the Great Gales (12-18)
Good Luck!
There is another item for you to find on the Old Langr, a box of coffee.
To find the box of coffee is relatively easy, simply look above the coffee bros and to the right of them, you should see the box pretty open, simply climb up and get it.
There is one fully collectible item in the Aldr Grotto, a traveling backpack.
To find the backpack, follow the normal path until it strays to the right early on, if bats fly at your face attempting to jump scare you then you went past the path or are very close to it, look to the left
.
(Photo showing the bag with a glimpse of the path to the right side of the photo.)
There is an item on this peak, the shovel.
To get the shovel, follow the right side of the first pillar of the three, the one that goes most to the top of the pillar. From there follow the top to the overhead and just before it, you should see the shovel.
When you get to the top of the third pillar,(the summit) Porter will be waiting for you, if you speak to him, he will give you the useful tool the Monocular.
You should also unlock the Intermediate/Bouldering category from here if you did all previous summits.
There are three items on Walter’s Craig, being some rope, and a trophy, you can clearly see it by looking a little up and to the right when you load into the peak. Get up to the point using the left, normal path.
To get the second item, when you are directly above the rope, follow the crimp path upwards, you will see the golden trophy upwards when you follow the path, grab it.
After you follow the normal path, jump back down and find Walter, climb with him and get to the summit, he will give you some rope.
(Trophy to the left, path to the right)
There are two items in the Great Crevice, another photo piece, and some rope.
To get to the items, continue along the normal path until you reach a narrow section, it should open up to clearly reveal the rope and the photo piece, continue along the path, jump to the left side then follow the crimp path to easily get the rope, follow it back and upwards to the left, to then get the photo piece. This is all BEFORE the crux “Side to Side”.
(You can clearly see both the items here, and the crimp jump to the left in-which you need to follow to get both items)
There is one item in the Old Hagger, being some ropes, you can clearly see them when you spawn in if you look up. Simply follow the normal path, you should be able to either jump up their with crampons following the crimp path upwards, or go the normal path to the left and rope down to grab the ropes, which I do not recommend, as it is VERY tricky.
Finishing up the Fundamentals. (18-21)
Ugesome Storr has another one item, more rope.
You can find this rope by following the main path by quite a bit, once you pass Ms. Walker, keep going and eventually you should reach the crux “Deathly Pass” follow the bottom of the crux until you find a small rock that goes down, follow it and you should be able to grab the rope, it is near the start-middle part of the crux.
You should get chalk after completing this peak.
(You can see what im talking about in this screenshot.)
For Wuthering Crest there are two items coffee and rope.
If you look up at the start, you should clearly be able to see the coffee with your monocular, climb up the normal path until you get to a spot where there’s a wall grab to your left, jump on that then follow the path left, up and then right to the crux “The Trapise” then make your way to the box of coffee and grab it. Follow that path or the normal path the normal way up the chimney-like rock formation and you should be able to see the rope to your right, simply climb to it and grab it.
(Screenshot shows the path to the left, the box upper-right and the normal path to the right)
After completing all Fundamentals, you will get the “Fundamental Completionist” Medal and some more ropes, chalk and coffee.
Bouldering/Intermediate Category
There are only four items obtainable from the Intermediate category, first, is the intermediate trophy, found on the Leaning Spire, to get it you must follow the path normally, but go UNDER the spire when near the end instead of go up and over.
Second is the Advanced category(The Great Tines) you get it by completing any one intermediate peak after completing all fundamental peaks.
Third, is the time records and the stopwatch. You get these by completing 2 intermediate category peaks, you then get challenged by Porter to beat all of his records for an item.
Fourth, is the smoking pipe, you get this by beating all TIME records in the intermediate category.
The Great Tines
There is one item to collect on Walker’s Pillar, which is chalk. Simply follow the normal path (with or without Ms. Walker) until you reach the first crux, there should be 2 branches, swing from the first to the second and once your on the second, look down. The chalk will be right there next to a rock you can grab onto. I would highly recommend roping down as it is difficult to get out of that area without one due to the upwards slope.
If you climb with Ms. Walker, she gives you one rope at the end of the summit, I would recommend doing this.
(Photo of the chalk and the second branch you need to grab onto)
There are 2 items on the Great Gaol, being the photo frame and some more rope. To get the photo frame, directly after the first crux ‘Inevitable Soak”, there will be 2 different path, take the path to the right and follow it until you see the item, use a rope to grab it or you will most likely fall.
To get the rope, simply follow the path as normal until you take the giant jump to the second pillar, jump and catch one of the branches, go to the lowest branch on the right side and take the rope hanging from some rock.
(Picture of both the items and their respective locations).
Eldenhorn has 2 items you can collect, it has chalk and some more rope to get both of these items, you need to go along the main path, you should see the chalk right before you get to an area where you have to drop down a bunch, keep following that until you see Walter sitting down, go just a bit further and if you look down you should be able to see the chalk, follow the path down and grab it.
(Picture of the part before the drop-off, item visible)
Next is the rope, to get the rope, keep following the main path until you react the crux “The Passage of Furled Fingers” after you enter it, you should see the ropes directly to the right, a little bit to the left of it, there will be a passage where can drop down, the rock blends in a little so keep a keen eye for it. I heavily recommend using ropes for this area as it is hard to get back up once down in that area, especially when you get to the rock after the large rock blocking your path, I think it is impossible to get back up without a rope to latch back onto, so be careful.
There is only 1 item in St.Halega, being the final photo piece.
You can find the final photo piece, by following the main basic path all the way to the crux “The Nose”, after you finish this crux, take a detour to the left side where theres a faraway rock, scaling the top of the overhead you just got finished with. You should see the photo piece very close, simply grab it when you get close enough. You can also find it by finding the crux “Crumbling Pass” and following through that, but I’m not sure where that starts.
(Take a left HERE when getting done with “The Nose”)
After finding all photo pieces, you will send it to the Walker family, unlocking a new space for another item, and it will give you a HUGE boost of 2x the length ropes and 2 more ropes to use.
There are two more items on Ymir’s Shadow, being more ropes and a advanced category golden statue.
To get the statue, make it past the first crux “The Chimney” afterwards, take a hidden right almost directly afterwards, then rope down and grab the item, the item is around 150 meters on Barometer since you have to drop down a bit, the part when you take a drop-down-right is at 161 or so meters.
(View of the item from above, must use rope to grab.)
The rope is MUCH farther up. I would very highly recommend getting this one first playthrough of Ymir’s Shadow.
To get the rope, get all the way past the second crux, “Chalk Road” into the third crux, “Rising Pass”, when you get to this crux, it will be on your natural path to the summit hanging on a rock’s ledge, you will see it.
The Great Northern Range
There is one item in the Great Bulwark, it’s the Advanced Mountain Golden Trophy it is around 850 meters on your Barometer, you will be along a giant ice sheet, there will be some small ice rocks to the right of the ice sheet, follow it upwards and you will find the trophy.
(I will get a couple pictures soon.)
There are around 3 I’m joking, that would be actually brain numbingly hard if there was, but there are currently 0 items on the Solemn Tempest as of writing this, it will be updated if there are any future items on the Solemn Tempest.
Outro
Anyways, this is what your current cabin should look like if you’ve collected all items. (I’ve seen Golden Pickaxes before though so I might be missing one!)
