How to find Bing Bong in PEAK
Bing Bong appears inside the plane you crash-landed from. As you wake up on the shore, turn around to spot this green plushie sitting on one of the chairs. Here, you can pick up Bing Bong, letting you carry, drop, or throw the plushie as you please.
AlthoughPEAK’smaps change every 24 hours, this part will remain the same. You won’t have to worry about venturing deep into the Shore and levels beyond if you want to have this little guy as a companion.
If you forget about Bing Bong and want to quickly retrieve it before climbing up the mountain, you canuse a compassto run south toward the plane crash site and then return forward. However, you’ll need to watch out for the fog and make sure it doesn’t freeze you to death.
What does Bing Bong do in PEAK?
Bing Bong is part of a Steam achievement, Bing Bong Badge. Obtaining this achievement requires helping Bing Bong escape the island by bringing the plushie with you throughout your entire playthrough, right up until the end. If you escape while it’s in your inventory, you’ll gain this achievement and the satisfaction of knowing you saved an innocent plushie’s life.
Aside from this, it serves no gameplay purpose. Technically, it can increase morale if having Bing Bong around makes you happy, but it won’t raise your stats or give you resistance. If anything, it takes up a precious inventory slot that you could otherwise use on supplies that’ll help you progress.
In short, it’s only helpful to bring Bing Bong along if you like hunting for achievements or need a friend to join you up the mountain. Even if you’re playing with friends, having this little critter in one of your backpacks and looking at its face is enough to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
