Mountain in the North-East of The Island

Location

Far's Peak is the mountain at the North-East of The Island.

Surroundings

To the West, a shallow river separates the mountain's foot from the terrain.

To the mountain's south and east are the East Spawn Zones.

On the Northern as well as the Eastern side, Far's Peak reaches nearly directly to the coast, only being hindered by small jungle.

Before arriving at the bleak and rocky mountain slopes, a survivor has to cross these narrow pieces of jungle forest on each side that separate it from the riverbanks and ocean coastline.

Typically for mountain terrains,  Metal and  Obsidian spawn on the slopes.  Crystals can only be found near the summit.

Trees rarely grow on the harsh and cold slopes. Be prepared to be confronted with extreme cold below 0 °C, so come equipped with a  Campfire,  Fur Armor, and/or  Fria Curry.

Creatures

Near the river and coasts, it is common for the player to meet  Dilophosauruses,  Megalodons,  Raptors,  Carnos,  Spinos or  Rexes. However, harmless herbivores such as  Carbonemys and  Trikes spawn there as well.

Upon reaching the slopes, the survivor can see  Ankylosauruses and  Stegosauruses, all not endangering the player. Only  Sabertooths and  Argentavis, and rarely  Raptors, pose a threat to survivors. Higher up on the mountain, there might be a few  Rexes or  Carnos, but they are not difficult to avoid. Additionally, the unhindered lines of sight at the top allow for players to react to and hide from hostile creatures long before a threat is upon them.

On rare occasions  Giganotosauruses can be found near the summit of the mountain.

Resources

Climbing

Reaching the peak isn't easy. Many slopes can't be climbed due to their steepness. One possible way is to walk up the North-Eastern slope. This journey can be made much easier with a good mount such as a  Raptor that can easily climb some of the steeper parts of the mountain that would be impossible to climb on foot. It is even possible to bring mounts with you. But be aware once you reached the top! It may happen that a tamed dino or a player himself falls down, as the rock descends extremely steep on the other sides of the top. Don't ever try to find an alternative way down and always remember your path.

Even being faced with multiple dangers on the way, a trip up to the Far's Peak is always worth its troubles. Not only because of the resources, the view from top of this mountain is outrageous. It is possible to overview the whole island, even to see the far Southern Ocean.

Notes

  • The mountain is called Far's Peak because there are no other nearby mountains.
