I survived an entire week in Sons of the Forest earlier than discovering a flashlight, and I actually want I might gotten it sooner. For one, I lastly have a use for all of the batteries I am discovering in cannibal camps, however extra importantly I can scour the island’s bone-chilling caves and truly see the place I am at (the lighter and torch simply weren’t reducing it).
Like the entire forest’s biggest discoveries, the flashlight awaits you at a grotesque scene: a person hanged from a cliff by a rope, surrounded by alcohol. His unlucky finish is our reward.
Sons of the Forest flashlight: The place to search out it
The flashlight may be discovered at one of many purple point-of-interest markers seen in your GPS initially of the sport. You are searching for the marker simply northwest of the central snowy mountains, close to the top of a north/south river. There is a foot path that leads on to it, however think about reducing by means of the bushes to keep away from close by cannibal camps.
Preserve your GPS out and, when you get shut, it will begin beeping. The nearer you get the extra it beeps. If you happen to method from the west you will in all probability see the hanging physique first (otherwise you would possibly miss it fully like me, as he kinda blends in with the cliff face):
Poor man. In any case, I snapped this screenshot about eight seconds after consuming a human leg. Under his hanging physique is a few free alcohol (used for molotov cocktails), however we’re not getting anything from him till we minimize him down.
Stroll across the cliff on both facet till you discover a slope to the highest. Return to the beeping marker, this time from the highest of the cliff, and you will find a small boulder with the rope tied round it (and extra booze). Give the boulder just a few swings of the axe to chop the rope.
Return to the underside of the cliff, and subsequent to his physique you will discover the flashlight. Loot the physique itself and you will additionally discover a GPS locator (opens in new tab), which I promptly provided to my three-armed pal Virginia (opens in new tab) so I may lastly see her on the map like Kelvin.
The flashlight is a everlasting addition to your stock and cannot be dropped. You may discover it close to the knife to the left of the crafting area. When the flashlight runs out of its default batteries, you possibly can substitute them by “combining” the flashlight with a pack of batteries (discovered simply above the crafting area, you probably have any). The flashlight additionally has a devoted shortcut key by default: L for “let there be mild”.
