What does Interacting with the Statue do in PEAK?

You'll come across some grim-looking mysterious statues on the island in PEAK, and contrary to popular belief, interacting with them doesn't kill you. If anything, they provide you with boons that will benefit your adventures. The nature and type of boons you receive will depend slightly on whether your party members are dead. Let's look at what happens when you interact with a statue in the game (again, you won't die). What happens when you interact with a statue in PEAK? The statues are typically located near campfires, starting with the SHORE region. This is the first region you'll access after your crash. If you scout the location, you'll come across the statue. If you miss it, no worries, for there are statues at other locations on the island. Once you reach them, you'll get the option to interact with them. Upon interaction, you'll randomly get legendary/mystical items from them. These are the rarest items to find in the game and have amazing in-game effects. My favorite is the Bugle of Friendship, which gives infinite stamina to your squad for 10 seconds. The effect is game-changing when activated at the correct moment, making it one of the most powerful items to have. While these items can also be obtained from Ancient Chests, having an extra chance is never a bad idea. Screenshot via Landcrab Let's suppose more of your teammates are dead. Going to a statue should be a top priority. The statue allows you to revive your dead teammates if your party weakens. Of course, there are other ways to revive your team, like the Cursed Skull (well, you end up dead in that case), but the ancient statues are just fine. It's a no-lose effort since you'll always get something beneficial in return. Some of the statues are hard to find. However, putting in the extra effort to find them will be beneficial and help your team escape the island by reaching the highest possible point. Of course, reaching a statue takes time, and they're located sparsely across different biomes. A few great items that are common in nature can also help to increase your chances of survival.
