The scorching sands of PEAK's Mesa biome hide more than just treacherous cliffs—they're crawling with venomous scorpions! 🦂 These tiny terrors might look unassuming as they shuffle in slow circles, but one sting unleashes a poison that can sabotage your entire climb. Found exclusively in this desert region, their numbers multiply after sunset, turning peaceful pathways into danger zones. Forget brute force; surviving these critters demands sharp reflexes and clever tactics.

⚠️ Why Scorpions Spell Disaster

When a scorpion locks onto you, it charges its glowing stinger for a venomous strike. The poison doesn't just drain health—it blurs vision and slows movement, turning a simple climb into a panic-fueled scramble. The Mesa's scarce resources make every antidote precious, so prevention is key.

🎯 The Grab-and-Toss Maneuver

Your best defense? Snatch them mid-charge! Here's the drill:

  1. Press E to pick up a scorpion

  2. Watch for its stinger to GLOW—that's your cue!

  3. Hold E to charge a throw

  4. Release at HALF-charge to yeet it safely

Timing is everything! Release too late? You'll get stung. Too early? It lands right beside you. Practice this rhythm: glow → charge → release.

💉 Poison Panic Solutions

Got stung? Don't rage-quit! Try these fixes:

  • Antidotes/Cure All → Loot luggage bags scattered near ruins

  • Wait it out → Poison fades after ~90 seconds (but feels like eternity!)

Pro tip: Always carry 2 antidotes when exploring at night!

🔥 Dynamite Dinner Time? YES!

Here’s the wildest twist: scorpions become FOOD! But forget campfires—only dynamite works:

  • Toss scorpion into lit dynamite 💥

  • OR throw dynamite onto scorpion

Success cooks it into a hunger-restoring snack! It’s risky, but worth it for long climbs.
