Life hacks, tricks before you start playing Sons of the Forest

The developers of the game Sons Of The Forest do not want to talk about the rules and secrets of the game, and some mechanics turned out to be non-obvious, but they help the player to go through the game.

NPC – Companion Celvin

When you start the game, you will immediately find your NPC – Celvin. He is an operative who survived the helicopter crash, but lost his hearing. He can perform different tasks – clear the area, build a fire and shelter, bring food and logs. You write him your orders, and he will immediately go to fulfill them.

He can build structures, build and handle routine. However, it will not be able to save you when there are attacks. He also won’t be able to lift you up, so he’s a weak operative, but as an assistant in small things, yes.

Battles with cannibals

There are dangerous cannibals here, but they do not immediately attack you, but test your strength and each time they come closer and closer to find out your reaction to them. If you do not touch the freaks that are watching you in the trees, then for a couple of days you will calmly loot.

Only then do they start to gather in a small group and attack the survivors, if you don’t want this, then try not to attack them and start fights. Since you will lose your health and resources – ammo or something else to kill them, however, in return, you will not receive.

Exceptions, if you already have a crossbow, you can kill them and take your crossbow bolts. However, even they can be completely lost.

If you decide to clear the cannibal camp, you only provoke them, there is simply nothing inside the camp, but you can simply collect loot using stealth and just run away from them.

You only need to attack and shoot first at the monsters that are in the caves, as they will attack without warning, besides these mutants climb outside in winter and autumn, so at this time of the year, try to keep your weapons nearby.

Use the resources you find

It is important to understand that the main character has a guide, where all the crafting instructions are available and even updated when new resources appear. All are done manually and have logic.

If you want to make a fire, break branches and use a lighter. It is done anywhere: house, building, forest, shore, and so on. If you want to stop somewhere for the night, then just throw a tarp on the ground, take a stick and make a support for the tarp, that’s the usual makeshift shelter. You need a house – build it, just cut down the firewood and connect it.

Eat the berries that are in the forest, 80% healthy and help you remove thirst and fatigue. Take resources in your backpack or in your hands and create whatever you want. If you don’t know what to do, open the guide, see the new instructions for creating buildings.

Important: if you are building a tree house, keep in mind that cannibals will immediately resort to breaking it when the building is over 60-70% completed. Also keep in mind that the NPC will break the tree, your tree, where the houses are, when he helps finish building your building.

Main character options

To survive in this world, you need to feed the hero, give him water to drink, put him to bed and warm him if he is cold. Try to monitor the general condition of the hero, if one of the parameters decreases, then you will lose stamina, and then you can even die. If you need to drink, then leave your hunt and look for the nearest stream to drink, and at night always sleep.

The main indicator is strength (first, on the right above the map). If it is full, then you can hunt more and better, cut trees and carry logs. Your activity will tone your muscles, and your attack damage will increase. Therefore, always train and make sure that you have the strength to destroy the enemy.

Energy drinks help you remove fatigue and increase activity, however, your stamina will be purple, saying that you are on energy drinks, you will quickly get tired.

3D printer in the game

The 3D printer is a novelty in the game that allows you to create important and useful things. However, to create items, you need resin, after which you can create the desired items. Create an Aboriginal mask, if you couldn’t find it, just put it on and go to the camp avoiding fights.

You can find the printer using your GPS navigator (it’s game first) and explore the map and look for points of interest, use the interactive map (all the points are there) . The dot to the west is an invaluable dot device. Create a camp there so that you can return to the 3D printers.

Music in the game

An important parameter in the game is the musical accompaniment. It will be able to warn you that you will be attacked, you can hide and hide. In addition, if you hear a sound from the stash, it means that there are cool and useful consumables and resources there.
