🗨 ABOUT:
Sent to find a missing billionaire on a remote island, you find yourself in a cannibal-infested hellscape. Craft, build, and struggle to survive, alone or with friends, in this terrifying new open-world survival horror simulator.
A Survival Horror Simulator
Experience complete freedom to tackle the world how you want. You decide what you do, where to go and how best to survive. There are no NPC's barking orders at you or giving you missions you don't want to do. You give the orders, you choose what happens next.
Fight Demons
Enter a world where nowhere is safe and fight against a range of mutated creatures, some who are almost human like, and others who are like nothing you have ever seen before. Armed with pistols, axes, stun batons and more, protect yourself and those you care for.
Build and Craft
Feel every interaction; Break sticks to make fires. Use an axe to cut out windows and floors. Build a small cabin, or a sea-side compound, the choice is yours.
Changing Seasons
Pluck fresh salmon directly from streams in spring and summer. Collect and store meat for the cold winter months. You're not alone on this island, so as winter rolls in and food and resources become scarce you won't be the only one looking for a meal.
Co-op Gameplay
Survive alone, or with friends. Share items and work together to build defenses. Bring back-up to explore above and below ground.

Can you sled to a river?
Do leaf armour gives stealth?
Not making full use of the log storage imo ;p Each dam or zipline stage should have a platform for storages, with K doing a large clear then dumping them into the nearest storage. You just need to grab and zip at each point. Having the ziplines extend further so that they run past each other a bit. Inside that bit should be the storages. Makes the transfer of logs take seconds :)
You can fish with the slingshot if you're having trouble getting fish that are a little too far out for the spear. You can also load up golf balls into the slingshot or switch arrow types in your bow by aiming straight at the ground.
Use your repair tool on a large woodpile. If nothing happens try damaging it first, then repair it.
Throwing logs at birds is an easy way to kill them. Also at some point in the game babies will attack the base...throwing logs at them works too.
I was doing the log glitches with the log cabin before it was patched and they just kept flying into it Over and over. It was funny as hell lol
so you're telling me throwing logs at my problems will make them go away? :)
I have killed so many birds while building. Just randomly I hear something get hit, and 4 feathers flying through the air. And I have also used logs as weapons against cannibals that was bothering me while getting logs.
Read this again but with no context
Throwing loges at babies les go
News: There is a man throwing logs at babies
Built the defensive stick base entryway on my game and it's brutally effective. I sat and watched a war party of 7 cannibals impale themselves without having to lift a finger, then finished my new bone chandelier :D
it is brutally effective but be careful, we had a couple of cases where canibals and mutants glitched into our base when a body part or a body was laying beneith a spile and the next attacker somehow stepped on top of the spike which teleported them into the base. We saw it a couple times in realtime but otherwise it is effective at 95% of the time :)
@@danielschatz6211 That's why Tem suggested a second wall in his spike wall video.
How do you build chandelier?
@@yeasylol8415 it’s in the prefab build menu (when you hold the box in your left hand). I can’t remember what page it’s on, but scroll through till you find it. You need 7 skulls and a number of bones (around 15 I think)
I had a great idea hide the sticks in long grass then nobody will see it coming, it was a great idea until I had to run back to base on low health chased by mutants that is when I realised it wasn't the best idea :D
I love how he went momentarily John wick mode, annihilated all of that cannibal base and was like: “ok back to it”
😈
Kelvin can finish building prefab structure like stick holder etc even the simple wood cabin, albeit at really slow speed. So at the start of the game you can put lot of blueprints and let kelvin finish it while you go out on expedition.
How does that work? That would be awesome.
@@DustySquitoNM you put a blueprint from the book, example stick holder then there will be a menu on the note to ask kevin finish the existing blueprints.
Fucking MVP Kelvin. Thanks for the tip!
noice
@@rz3264 thats actually pretty huge, nice!
Great tips! But I believe you missed a vital one. Mutants and cannibals WILL NOT enter seawater. You can build a massive base at the NW beach (in the shallow seawater) and never get attacked.
They don't enter deeper water period. Fresh or salt I built a base on one of the ponds under ta waterfall and never gets attacked.
What a boring way to play. Setting up a base in a cheese location so you can never get attacked.
The fun comes from setting up in a spot you know can get attacked and building it into a base that can stand the test of overwhelming numbers of mutants.

Loved that little revenge montage on the cannibal camp!
[Dance with the Dead - RIOT playing softly in the background]
at 15:55 regenerating stamina while in inventory while the game is paused, I think this only works in Singleplayer. In Multiplayer, I've seen my friends getting attacked and downed eventhou they are in their inventory.
yep, multiplayer does not apply like that, no pause at all
Yeah, my buddy plays a lot of singleplayer while I only really hop on for multiplayer and he gets attacked a lot looking at his inventory while we're supposed to be spelunking or are currently in a cannibal camp while I'm running around trying not to die to the swarm I'm doing my best to keep off him lol.
Updating list as I watch the video
Tip #1: You can dismantle the door and custom build the door with planks from the inside, allowing you to lock it from the inside, no need for paper targets needed
Tip #2: Clipping the spikes through the logs gives enemies free access to your base, when they take damage to those spikes, their damage animation happens relative to the spike and allows them to clip through the logs if they stagger in the right direction
Surely to lock the door just put a stick on it
I mean who builds an extravagant base and leaves structural damage on?
can’t you just place another layer behind the spikes to solve that issue?
A thick defensive wall of spikes also happens to get you infinite feathers as birds seem to love flying face-first into the pointy end. Deer on the other hand clip right through them as far as I can tell. Also - when you reach a point where you have an excess of rope, just start making liberal use of flyswatter traps that just obliterate enemies and catch deer, but ALSO make a very loud noise that works as an alarm for you. Between enemies shouting when they poke themselves on the spikes and the occasional flyswatter going off, it's rare I don't hear a raid or mutant coming in and my resting heart rate can settle a little lower.
Mate that was by far the best video I have seen so far as a relatively new player. Great info/content with minimal to no spoilers. Watched from start to finish and enjoyed every minute 👌
Cant wait to see how far they develop this game looks amazing
As for the strength leveling. I've tested that throwing logs levels it really fast. Just cut down a tree and start picking and tossing the logs, again and again and you'll gain levels quite fast and safe.
Hey that's almost like you do it in real life, what an amazing game!
This is not true. You have not tested it. Pickup the logs does affect it, but no more than swinging a weapon. Also, the only thing the strength meter does for you is increase your health. No actual strength increase or anything like that. Just health
@@hubertcumberdale8175picking up logs is better than swinging
@@hubertcumberdale8175 He came to the correct conclusion nearly, just added in "tossing/throwing" to the part that gives strength. Which, if you're doing it as fast as possible it's hard to tell if you're gaining from both or just picking up. Also, the reason picking up logs as fast as possible is faster than swinging your weapon is because you can pick up and set down logs faster than you can swing a weapon. If you're going to be condescending, at least target someone who is less than 95% correct.
@@Gardolind this. I hate someone that theorize over an early access game.. like its gonna be patched out soon anyway... smh
Loot always respawns upon joining so you can get ammo and other supplies at the helicrash easily. I made my base right next to the crash and I looted the containers, saved and reloaded my game for tons of ammo, meds and building supplies.
Cheater
1. Virginia and Kelvin "sometimes" do not find a Way through the "Spike Entrance" on my Save, they either jump over it or the worst but VERY often happens just Stuck in a corner!
2. My Build nearby a Road do not attract more Canibals then my Base far away from a Road and im at Day 60 on Normal Difficulty already!
3. Send Logs by a Rope that is at MAX Distance will cause ALL the Logs you send to disappear if you don't follow them short after!
4. IF you collect the BUGGED GPS Transponder again, after you collected it and gave it to Virginia, it can happen that Virginia disappears on the Map by losing her GPS Transponder, so be carefull with that!
5. Stamina and Health Regeneration in Inventory is just working on Singleplayer NOT in Multiplayer -> VERY Danger!
6. Hunger and Thirst do no affect you, that is not quiet right, it just DO NOT on Normal or lower Difficulty but it does on Hard very well ^^
you can also build log holders in the river and the logs will sort themselves into them. just saw someone do that, super silly but useful
Kelvin can actually find arrows that missed the target. The command for this shows up when there are arrows around to find.
The strength lvl, rocks "upgrading structure resistance", building across water, gps beacon and feathers were amazing tips. TY
Also you can build your fences tall. You just get it so the circle is basically on top of the existing fence post. Then plant it and it will be on top of the last one. This only goes 2-3 high. But if you add more then you can turn it into a spike for a full height defensive wall. With stones throughout. The best part is you can shoot through it.
Just found your chanel and I'm absolutely surprised by the quality of this video. Not only is it extremely informative, but it also doesn't spoiler anything and it is even quite funny. So thank you i guess, really helped me out there.
i learned a lot of things, thanks! :D
another useful tip:
if you have trouble with "the finger mutant" , attack their legs. that will stun them and most of the time, you can take them down before the stun wears off! :)
yes and also bows and the stun gun are great for it!
@@souptime7058 indeed my friend :)
Str only gives you health at the moment (prob will change in the future) the increase in items in your bag is a bug where you run around with nothing in your hands you can pick up 1 extra item and hold it in your hands and will drop it if you "equip" another item, if however you keep hitting g to remove items in your hands it will go into your backpack.
Very, VERY helpful. You never cease to amaze me. Thank you. 😁👍
Good stuff. Straight to the point and no BS. Subbed.
Man, without a doubt this is the best tips video on this game so far, in 2024. My thanks from Brazil.
Awesome video! Thank you so much!
I think it's the most informative video ever since the release of SotF - thanks for that! What also surprised me were the integrated LEDs on the inventory mat and the possible color change. xD I'm not quite good at crafting armor either...
Very helpful guide thanks for the video and keep making more content for sons of the forest
if you want to clear out a large area of tall plants, a great way is to take a log and throw it. the log will roll for a bit and destroy all plants in the way
You’re the first person I’ve seen say this, I do this a crazy amount lol I hate how many bushes/plants the woods have
@@BeStupidWithIntent there are lots of bushes because you can hide from cannibals by crouching in bushes..
Thank you Tem. Tips are always welcomed.
omg thanks for this.. especially the strength stat!!!
great video, probably the best sotf tips vid I've seen!
Man thank you so much for these tips most of these I didnt know you can do in the game
Another great video! Thanks!!!
Thank you for your video. I learned some things. Sweet
The log race down the river was my favorite
The most useful video tyvm!!!
this was awesome fun informative dude this game is so complex its so good ive never played the first so ihave like no idea what the story is either and im having a blast dying but yo the constructionnnn thanks!
pretty cool. i knew the most of it, but some things are new to me. thnx a lot !
First timer to the game and your channel. Impressed with both. Subbed.👍
Unfortunately fire has been patched to last much shorter than it used. Also a tip: You can use the axe on tree stumps to get rid of them. It will turn to a small pile of wood (you cannot pick up) and then disappear after a few minutes
@@Jack-bs5kt did you mean never instead of ever?
@@notgrain4864 stopping them from ever is the same as never and forever. English is fun.
@@notgrain4864 ever is the correct word there it’s a bit odd now that i think about it lol
@@Jack-bs5kt The word "Stop" makes it so "Ever" is the correct word. "Make them *never* regrow" and "Stop them from *ever* regrowing" both have the same meaning.
yall not from murica? how yall doesnt undestand basic things like that.. me personally also understand that even tho im not from there..
Great work Temreki. legend man
thx for the important Tips ,.it helps alot
Well that was an easy like and subscribe. Great stuff man, thanks!
Best guide, thank you!
Super helpful!
omg, Best tips I've found! thanks GNS
thx bro very helpful vids thanx and have a nice day
In addition to going into the inventory to "pause" and heal, thrown grenades still detonate while you're in the inventory, and the mutants can't do anything about the full damage they are about to take.
This video is gold! Nice work !!!! here have my like!
nice tips mate, good video thx for the advices
Thanks man, very usefull video ^^
There are so many tip videos and your was the most helpful so thank you
fantastic tips and such a great game.
Great Tips thank you allot!
Nice on those tips its very helpful thankyou
helpful stuff. Thanks a bunch.
I found out all of that on my own with one exception - i had no clue i can zipline logs right into the holders, that's great, thx! :-)
Good tips! Thanks!
This video was very useful thanks! I am also wondering where you set up your home it looks like a great area.
Most useful video I’ve found. Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Amazing video btw!
Super helpful video!
the tip videos ive seen have been pretty useless but omg this one is amazing, Than you!!!
VERY STRONG VIDEO THANK YOU
5:21 when you want to equip a GPS to virginia and the GPS is on your backpack thingy you can right mouse it to change the icon for Virginia's GPS.
You can also put a GPS on a stick, however we can't change that icon yet (in development i guess).
Thanks for the tips but more for the humor :D I laughed quite a lot during this video
Hold a stick and walk to the door, you get a prompt to attach it (create a lock). The cut side of the log is where the lock will be.
In your case you might wanna change the outside and inside of the door so the lock is on the inside of the door.
Some golden tips in here. Good work! There's a lot more to strength than you see on the surface. I'm also extensively testing. Meet ya in the middle! hahah Cheers! Thanks for the shout out. :)
I have spawned up to 4 logs from trying to throw them ashore from a pond. I spammed E while in the water at the same time my friend spammed E to catch them. He ended up with 2 and the log I was throwing was still in the water. I repeated this process up to 4 times before it finally despawned from the water🤷🏼♂️👍🏻
dude, this is a perfect video
That spontaneous doom shotgun edit was insane
I am BUSY....oh, there goes an arm. 🤣 That was fantastic!
I SWEAR YALL ARE SO CREATIVE
Awesome. I build my base just on the other side of the river where you build it
propably best tips and tricks I seen in youtube
This was so useful. I just wanted to know the spikes, but now im ready for war! Thank you
i'm still as lost as ever... i mean i did get all the tips in the video... but this feels way different to me than The Forest... i used to be an absolute cannibal smashing god in that game...
for the life of me i can't seem to make a simple bow in this one...
guess i just haven't explored the map enough to figure out where things are...
situational awareness and knowing the overall map layout of critical resources really goes a long way in this game..
it's actually a very interesting skill bracket, good on the devs for implementing this !
strength does not influence the amount of items you carry or the amount of hits needed to kill.also does not influence the speed in which you cut down trees. all it does is,it increases your hp pool.
tfyi!
Greg Soup makes you cut down treat well :)
4:03 OMG thanks alot for that bro!!
The man. The legend.
thanks for the tips! and LMAO @ 20:52 😂
0:22 i was attentively listening to what u were saying then u threw a limb at the cannibal xD
lmao that killing montage when the cannibals killed you
thanks so muchallthw tips are so good even at the end so good thanks. il sub to that:D
I’ve found a way to duplicate logs, first get two logs out of one full log holder, whilst holding both the logs, press E to equip another one from another full log holder directly next to it. Since the logs automatically go into the holders when loose, they will duplicate and fill both holders. Pretty useful.
tfyi!
Interesting thing I found out a few hours ago, if you're playing multiplayer you and at leasr one other person can skin the same thing if you do it at the same time. And you will both recieved the materials. I only play with my brother, so give it a shot if you play with more people. Nice way to stock up on meat and other materials especially early on.
My buddy and I use this trick all the time when skinning mutants. Creepy armor too valuable to miss out on lol. But, he has a bad habit of throwing grenades and molotovs without warning while I'm trying to hack and slash through enemies so I've started skinning things without him as a punishment for taking off all my armor
you can use the sled in the river and you can also use Grenade on group of tress to instantly cut them dawn
red guy walking by and looking at him while kelvin is fishing "oh hello" than walks away minding his own business😂😂
Good to know Kelvin does not suffer spike damage from defensive positions.
Cool base 😂 also crazy monster
20 hours in this game, just beat the story this weekend.
Been playing it with friends since launch.
This video is a solid 10/10, lots of things we didn't know! Thanks for this!!
thankfully from the new hotfix the other day i believe the treehouse issue with kelvin just got fixed
you earned yourself a subscriber
Got my sub!
If you kill a bird with slingshot, you can slingshot the body a couple of times for more feathers.
nice job
felaa
Wow what a good location for survive i will look for it
I love these guides I always learn something new! haha I love how there was a revenge segment in this vid - can't have a moment's peace to do one video!
Tip about safety in your inventory menu. This only works when playing solo. In multiplayer you will get killed if you try that xD
Very cool video
