How to find and use Big Egg in PEAK

What creature laid this egg?

As you advance through each of PEAK’s levels, you’ll encounter all kinds of food that can save you in a pinch. While you’ve likely encountered plenty of packaged food from luggage, berries, and maybe even a beehive or two, finding eggs is more challenging than you’d expect.

Where to find Big Egg in PEAK

Big eggs spawn exclusively in PEAK’s Caldera level. Caldera is the fourth region you’ll enter after tackling the game’s beach, jungle, and snowy levels. Once you arrive here, you’ll occasionally find eggs inside nests atop various rock formations.

You’ll typically find these nests atop the peaks of Caldera’s various rocks. Since the level’s lava heights change, you won’t have to worry about your eggs falling in and melting. Instead, you’ll need to focus on staying atop the rocks until you spot a nest or two.

Nests will usually contain anywhere between one to three big eggs. You’ll spot multiple nests around Caldera, with their exact spawns changing with every daily map. If you find a few during a run, remember their locations, as you can revisit them on the same day to reclaim your eggs for a quick snack.

How to use Big Egg

Big eggs by themselves aren’t particularly useful until you either drop or throw them to the ground. Doing this reveals a regular egg that you can eat to reduce hunger and, if cooked, provides a small stamina boost.

Alternatively, you can cook the big egg itself and throw it on the ground. The egg inside will be cooked, allowing you to eat it without needing a fire or risking your life in Caldera’s lava. Eating the egg restores hunger and completes the Gourmand Badge if you already ate a coconut, yellow winterberry, and honeycomb.

Since the egg is the last portion of this badge, make sure you explore PEAK’s other three maps first before progressing into Caldera and obtaining this final item. You can’t backtrack to Alpine, so you’ll either need to eat everything beforehand or bring it with you and have a feast near the end.
