What does the Strange Gem do in PEAK?

The new Mesa update has introduced plenty of new items to PEAK, but it’s the Strange Gem from previous days that’s leaving many players confused.

The item, which has been present in previous versions, has confused many with its potential use. It can be obtained once again from its old location. Let’s find out how to get it if you haven’t found the Strange Gem yet in PEAK, and if it has any use at all.

How to get the Strange Gem in PEAK?

As you move your ascent from the Shore to the top, you’ll come across different locations of the island. One such spot includes the statue, which is located at the peak. The statue is located at the back of the mountain, so make sure to look for it.

Approach the statue and you’ll find the Strange Gem in its hands. The Strange Gem is very easy to spot due to its bright colors, and it shines kind of like an energy source. To pick it up, you’ll first have to get close to it. Then, pick it up like any other item. You can carry it in your hands or place it in the inventory (or backpack).

How to use the Strange Gem in PEAK?

Once again, the Strange Gem doesn’t appear to have any practical use in the current build of the game. For starters, it’s pretty safe to touch, and it’s not a hazard like Dynamite, which can explode in your hands. However, I haven’t found any use for it.

Funnily enough, the item can be aimed at and thrown like a Frisbee or Dynamite. I expected it to explode like Dynamite, but that’s not the case. If you’re not careful, you can end up throwing it over the cliff. In that case, it’s likely going to be lost on your run.

If we do end up finding an actual use for the Strange Gem, it will be updated in this guide.
