What does Magic Bean do in PEAK?

The Magic Bean is a curious little item you can find in PEAK, and its use can be quite confusing if you don't know what to do. This specific item wasn't part of the launch version, but it was added as part of an update on June 18. Since then, players have been busy trying to find it, which isn't very difficult (as long as you haven't started your ascent). The bigger confusion happens when it comes to using the item. This guide will provide you with all the information that will help you make the best use possible. Table of contents How does the Magic Bean work in PEAK? How to get the Magic Bean in PEAK? How does the Magic Bean work in PEAK? I treat the Magic Bean as a "bridge creator" of sorts. No, it doesn't create a literal bridge (that would have been cool), but it does generate a pole. Once the bean is used, you'll create a tall pole, which is actually a stalk that goes very high above the ground. I don't know its exact height, but it's significantly taller than palm trees on the island. Using the Magic Bean is pretty easy. Take it out of your item slot or your inventory, and throw it down on the ground. That's it, as the stalk will come out of the ground and keep growing. If you have guessed it by now, the stalk is scalable and allows you to reach locations that otherwise wouldn't be possible.

However, there's no guarantee of obtaining one, which isn't the case with the Magic Bean. Some rumors suggest that they're located at the exact spot (I will verify this once we get a new island), but you'll always find them on the SHORE. Just scout the beaches on the SHORE, and it will look like the image above. Make sure to throw the bean at a suitable spot to use it properly; don't use it in an area where there are plenty of scalable cliffs.
