Unveiling the Eleven New Roots Badges

The Roots update introduces a tantalizing collection of eleven new badges, each representing a unique accomplishment within the new biome. These badges cover a wide range of activities, from mastering the environment and its challenges to utilizing the new items and consumables strategically. Securing all eleven will require a blend of skill, resourcefulness, and a deep understanding of the Roots’ mechanics. Let’s delve into each badge and explore the strategies you’ll need to claim them.

Conquering the Roots: Climbing Challenges

Two badges specifically focus on your ability to navigate the towering Root structures and the challenges they present. These are core to the Roots experience and demonstrate mastery over the biome’s primary feature.

Climb Past the Roots Badge

This badge is perhaps the most straightforward of the new additions, yet no less rewarding. To earn the “Climb Past the Roots” badge, you simply need to successfully ascend past a designated point within the Roots biome. This will likely involve a series of challenging climbs, strategic use of stamina, and careful planning of your route. Look for designated checkpoints or markers indicating the successful completion of the challenge. Mastering rope mechanics, identifying safe landing spots, and conserving stamina are crucial for success. Prioritize upgrading your climbing gear and practicing efficient climbing techniques.

Climb Past the Roots (Low Spore) Badge

This variant of the climbing challenge adds a significant twist. To earn the “Climb Past the Roots (Low Spore)” badge, you must successfully ascend past the same designated point without ever exceeding 25% spore infection. This dramatically increases the difficulty, requiring precise movements, spore management, and a deep understanding of spore infection mechanics. Avoiding areas with high spore concentrations, utilizing spore-resistant consumables, and carefully planning your route to minimize exposure are essential. Consider bringing along teammates who can provide support and cover while you navigate particularly hazardous sections. Equipping gear that reduces spore accumulation is also recommended.

Survival and Rescue: Overcoming Peril in the Roots

The Roots biome is teeming with new dangers, and these badges reward your ability to survive and help your teammates overcome these threats.

Escape a Spider’s Web and Survive Badge

The Roots are home to new types of spiders, including those that can ensnare you in sticky webs. To earn the “Escape a Spider’s Web and Survive” badge, you must successfully break free from a spider’s web and survive the encounter. This requires quick reflexes, strategic use of items, and perhaps a little luck. Having a teammate nearby to assist can greatly increase your chances of survival. Fire-based attacks or items may prove particularly effective at quickly destroying webs. Practice quick-time events and familiarize yourself with the timing required to break free. Be prepared to move quickly once you escape, as the spider will likely attempt to re-capture you.

Cure Yourself from a Zombie Bite Badge

The threat of zombification is ever-present in Peak, and the Roots biome introduces new ways to become infected. To earn the “Cure Yourself from a Zombie Bite” badge, you must successfully cure yourself of a zombie bite. This requires having the appropriate antidote or treatment readily available and applying it quickly. Mastering the crafting recipes for cure items and maintaining a supply of these items is crucial. Keep an eye out for resources necessary for crafting the antidote and prioritize gathering them. Practice applying the antidote quickly and efficiently, as time is of the essence when dealing with a zombie bite.

Pull an Unconscious Friend 30m with the Rescue Claw Badge

The Rescue Claw is an invaluable tool for saving downed teammates, and this badge rewards skillful use of this device. To earn the “Pull an Unconscious Friend 30m with the Rescue Claw” badge, you must successfully use the Rescue Claw to pull an unconscious teammate a distance of at least 30 meters. This requires careful aiming, precise timing, and a good understanding of the Rescue Claw’s mechanics. Practice using the Rescue Claw in different environments and with varying distances to hone your skills. Consider using communication to coordinate with your teammate and ensure they are in a safe location for retrieval. Terrain and obstacles can affect the Rescue Claw’s trajectory, so plan your shot carefully.

Consumable Mastery: Tasting the Flavors of the Roots

The Roots biome introduces new consumable items with unique effects, and these badges reward experimentation and mastery of these resources.

Try All 5 Types of Shroomberry in a Single Expedition Badge

The Shroomberry comes in five different varieties, each with its own distinct properties. To earn the “Try All 5 Types of Shroomberry in a Single Expedition” badge, you must consume one of each type of Shroomberry within a single expedition. This requires exploration, resourcefulness, and a willingness to experiment with different flavors. Familiarize yourself with the appearance and locations of each Shroomberry type. Prioritize exploring areas where Shroomberries are known to grow and keep a sharp eye out for these valuable consumables. Be aware of the potential side effects of each Shroomberry and plan accordingly.

Eat 3 Hot Dogs in 5 Seconds or Less Badge

This badge is a test of speed and gluttony. To earn the “Eat 3 Hot Dogs in 5 Seconds or Less” badge, you must consume three hot dogs within a five-second timeframe. This requires quick reflexes, strategic timing, and perhaps a little bit of button-mashing. Practice rapidly consuming consumables to develop the necessary speed and technique. Ensure you have three hot dogs readily available before attempting the challenge. Minimize any delays between bites to maximize your chances of success. Consider reducing any input lag that might hinder your performance.

Cook and Eat a Mandrake Badge

The Mandrake is a unique and potentially dangerous ingredient. To earn the “Cook and Eat a Mandrake” badge, you must successfully cook a Mandrake and consume it. This likely involves finding a Mandrake, using a cooking station to prepare it, and then braving the potentially negative effects of consuming it. Research the proper cooking methods for Mandrakes to avoid any adverse consequences. Be prepared for potential side effects after consuming the cooked Mandrake and have countermeasures ready. Locating a cooking station and a Mandrake in close proximity can streamline the process.

Otherworldly Abilities: Embracing the Unconventional

These badges reward you for utilizing unconventional methods and embracing the more outlandish aspects of the Roots biome.

Resurrect Friend Using Unholy Means Badge

This badge hints at darker forces at play within the Roots. To earn the “Resurrect Friend Using Unholy Means” badge, you must resurrect a fallen teammate using a specific, likely unconventional, resurrection method. This could involve a new item, a specific location, or a combination of both. Explore the Roots biome thoroughly and look for clues regarding unusual resurrection rituals or items. Experiment with different items and locations to discover the method required to unlock the badge. Pay attention to any lore or hints that might provide clues about unholy resurrection techniques.

Bounce Up to 40m Off a Mushroom Badge

The giant mushrooms of the Roots biome offer unique traversal opportunities. To earn the “Bounce Up to 40m Off a Mushroom” badge, you must successfully bounce off a mushroom and achieve a launch distance of at least 40 meters. This requires precise timing, a good understanding of the mushroom’s bounce mechanics, and perhaps a bit of momentum. Experiment with different approaches and angles to maximize your bounce distance. Consider using movement-enhancing items to further increase your launch potential. Look for particularly large or springy mushrooms that are likely to provide the greatest bounce.
