These are some features that are hidden, or not as known in Sons of the Forest. Hope you find the video enjoyable! Feel free to share any features you've discovered.
To bad you can't fuck Virginia. You know your character is lonely af. Oh well. Maybe next time.
no shit i actually got a little emotional the first time i saw virginias reaction to kelvin dying. idk if its true but when i get the hand gun, i always wait for the shark to turn to swim inland. he doesnt seem to be able to turn fast enough to get you. so i swim on his tail. maybe im just lucky lol.
You forgot to mention how to beat the game with only a stick
The fire torch also acts as a heat source while traveling
Check out spiffing Brit how to beat the game with only a stick
For the love of all that is good, don't let Kelvin die in your base, that is, unless you want to hear Virginia wailing over his dead body every 30 sec.
kelvin is not only deaf but braindead too, he keeps walking in circles with sticks cause he dont know how to use stairs apperantly lol
it was sooo annoying... my kelvin got hit through the wall and glitched into it so i couldn't revive him even after removing everything that blocked it. it was so annoying that i really went into the save file to get him back. since i don't think his body would have ever despawned.
i used the shotgun to blast him out of my blast because of this xD
Yeah, I had the glitch where I couldn't revive him... Still trying to figure out how to manipulate my save file to revive him. The recent patch change how the save file works and the guide i found don't work anymore.
lol on my multiplayer game, Kelvin glitched through the mountains because apparently he wasn't supposed to go in a cave and he somehow did. XD Now he's forever stuck in the Himalayan mountain range. XD
Most simple way to get Virginia to be your friend is to completely ignore her. She came by 3 times while I was building my base and I completely ignored her, letting her just sit and watch me build. On the 4th time she came, she brought me aloe and I had the interact button with her.
Lmao, ignore her and she wants you even more
@@typehazard just like a real women ☕️
Yeah… so I made the mistake of absolutely destroying her when I first met her. She popped out of a bush and scared the crap out of me while I was being attacked by cannibals, so I stabbed her with an axe 10 times
Just like real women, ignoring her just makes her more interested
Until I hit a tree and accidentally hit her with an axe hopefully she comes back
One thing I never hear anyone talk about is when you give Virginia the guns she has unlimited ammo.
True
Fun Virginia Fact! Virginia's AI is more dynamic than most people know! If you equip her with the pistol and/or shotgun early in the game be sure to keep her protected from dying but have her actively engage in firefights with a variety of enemy types. The more battles Virginia participates in and the more kills she racks up the more efficient in combat she becomes. She will become much more accurate with her shots, and her posture towards enemies will become highly aggressive as opposed to the timid and skittish mutant she was at the beginning of the game.
True. The number of her kills is counted in save game files :D
My Bae freekyniqua
Yeah my Verginia actively charged a crazy and sg it in the face lol
For the defensive spikes you can reinforce them with stones just like with a fire to make them much sturdier 😊
No shit
@@TransitionedToAShark who hurt you
@@TransitionedToAShark are you allright? Need therapy?
Cool, I did not know that thanks.
They are the best defense for any base.
I've also seen cannibals mourn the death of other cannibals similar to that Virginia and Kelvin clip
My friends saw that and one of them just looked for 2 seconds said "oh wow they do that?" And just started wailing on the girl crying over her cannibal husband lmao I nearly died laughing
I've met female cannibals dancing before(not Virginia) has anyone here seen it?
@@MSN--cq2rs I’ve had female cannibals from the same tribe that I kill around my base come around and be friendly, she takes like 1 log per day and we let her. and every time I see her approaching and I walk out to her, she actually waves at me almost every time and I think that’s pretty damn cool
@@rbsmokez4682 OMG!
I can't wait to try it out！
Thank you stranger!
Your message has benefited me a lot！！！
Yeah I iced a cannibal and they were mourning over it so I yeeted a grenade from my base onto them
I made a fire inside a bunker once and was honestly shocked by the detail of sprinklers going off.
Yeah, but someone forgot to program the function of the sprinkler it's to actually put out the fire....lol
@@alueshen it does if it's a Molotov which is a real pain. The campfire takes a lot of rain to go out so it seems the same with the sprinkler
Wetsuit : Increase swim speed
Camouflage suit : Increase blend on forest/bush environment.
Hoodie : Increase resistance over cold condition. (But not immune)
Winter Jacket better for cold condition resistance.
@@DarkdancingX I'd never have thought of that 👍
@@DarkdancingX yeah but crap if it comes to wetness from snow sadly (so its not really a winter jacket more a feather jacket. Cause real winter jackets are waterproof.
Hoodie increase police stop and search
I got the camo suit but can't find it in my inventory? Is it possible to pick it up multiple times or hold e on it to equip it straight from picking it up?
Tip for the stakes: You can put three rocks around the base of each stake stick to reinforce them and make them more durable so they don't get used up as easy.
There are multiple 3D printers across the map, some you can access without any special tools (ie the shovel as in the video) Lots of useful info here. Only thing I was unaware of was feeding the sharks. I'm guessing you can feed the orcas as well if you are brave (or stupid, chose your adjective) enough to get that close to them.
Better to kill the sharks. Usually takes 4 normal arrows. Sometimes just 1
Wait where are orcas at?
In the winter use Calvin to get stones. They are extremely hard to find with the snow. if you haven’t gotten the shovel by then
The pistol light doesn't have a battery meter, use it instead of the regular once you find it. Also the molotov puts off good light so as long as you don't throw it it'll keep burning.
The torch is also useful and you can light enemies on fire...
Not many people know, but if you cut a log in half, you can use the half logs as support beams, that way you wont need any random logs in the middle of your base 🙂
watch more videos on building tips. there's a bunch of stuff you can do.
18:15
Picks up cross then proceeds to run around saying have you met our lord and savior to every enemy
One of the best most comprehensive Sons of the Forest videos I've ever watched. Very solid job Rifle.
Tips for clothing:
Top meter is warmth, making it difficult to get cold
Middle is comfort, higher = more energy regained when sleeping
Bottom is waterproofing, making it more difficult to get wet.
This is very good info. Been looking for that quite of time.
At least 1 of these meters does not work, it doesn't matter unless I'm underground or within range of a camp fire I'm always wet and cold in the winter doesn't matter what I'm wearing, weather, or time of day, I've tried everything I can think of
@@coconutspeed1212 equip the torch and you'll reset the cold meter (temporary fix... but..)
Another handy feature is that you can KEYBIND any item in your backpack, when you open it with i simply mouse-over the item and press a key 1 through to 0 on your keyboard
This means you don't have to rummage around in your pack while your friend is being mauled by half a dozen cannibals!
Edit: Nearby the modern hatchet is a flashlight from a strung-up soldier that you have to cut down, it uses batteries to remain on, those get automatically used from your inventory when needed
The torch will also keep you warm in the winter, I used it while building my base and just walking around, never got cold.
Very important stuff missing in the video:
- You can reinforce the stick defense with large stones so they stay a lot longer (forever?) Placing them very dense with multiple layers around the base kills almost everything trying to approach your base. (Including mutants, deer and birds lol)
- If you hover over an item in your inventory you can assign quick select numbers 1-9 to them, just press the number while hovering over the item.
- Every green circle is a 3D printer you don't need the shovel for them.
Good points
its nice that they let you put torches on the cave walls so you can mark your path to points of interest, kinda like minecraft.
Great Video, thanks
Just found out today, you can use the GPS Trackers as Map Marks.
Slam a Stick in the Ground, equip the Tracker and place it on the Stick.
You can even select different icons, as for example Food, X etc.
Ahhh, thanks! I knew about the icons but had no idea how to actually place them anywhere.
For Virginia just ignore her every time just do your things and she will be your conpagnon after she comes to you a couple of times.
No shit Sherlock 😂
Conpagnon is the highlight of this tip. Legend.
Damn my friend killed her in the start because she creeped him out and I was like WAIT WHAT IF SHES FRIENDLY, rip
Im at Day 30 and she still scared af
@@nissepisse1414 build a house
You can also ask Kelvin to pickup ur arrows after you fight enemies. Now thats pretty cool
Man what a journey. Been watching your videos for years. Cool watching people grow
your SOTF videos are both very entertaining and life-savers. been watching since the early FO76 content days.
Thanks for the kind words, this took a long time to create. Glad you found this video enjoyable!
I didn't know the cross was actually functional in my playthrough. Luckily, the shotgun made easy work of the demons. I also had no idea there was a shark in the rebreather cave lol.
Thanks man it's hard to do other simple things on multiplayer so having them compiled in one video is helpful thanks broski
Wow i didnt know you can make Kelvin carry the boombox, thats so cool :)
This game is sooo awesome. Really looking forward to the next update !
Thankyou for making this video ❤
So glad to see you doing these SOTF vids I miss watching your fallout 76 vids back when the game was still in its prime.
Been watching you for many a moon, rifle! Glad to see you playing one of my favorite games of all time! Great vid! Peace and love!
Great tips! Just starting playing today. Thanks man.
I find it so funny that the mutants with no eyes can tell when you wave a cross at them that otherwise has no effect, lol
This is how to make a game help vid. Clear, concise with all map references added. Thanks mate. Loved the one about giving Virginia a GPS.
For a tip with the stick defense, you can actually beef them up with rocks on the bottom. Just thought I would throw that out there. Great vid by the way. 👍
I learned a few things, thanks dude.
Haven't yet got the game - but a neat trick I saw on a channel called Inner Outer Show (I think) - was that when located in any of the caves with water in (which there are several of, as I understand) - you can lure some of the enemies into the water - and they will die just because they cannot swim. This way you won't waste any bullets/arrows/.. on them. Thanks for the vid - greetings from Latvia.
That's the outer middle show 😊
when its raining verginias “suit” gets a special texture
Great video. Loads of fun stuff. Thanks
Holy cow, thank you so much for this video. Deeply appreciate a lot of what you showed off. For the longest time, we've been building and using c to move our stuff around and it NEVER dawned on us to just... _use c_ on our tarp to remove it.
bro thank you so much for these! really didn't know some of them. cheers
A feature I've not seen anyone using is angled bracing. When people build bases they have columns in the corner of every foundation. You can brace the ceiling with a shortened angled log from the wall to the ceiling opening up your floor space. The easiest way to do so I've found is you have to build with columns then place the angled logs then remove the columns.
Oh, are you talking about struts? The survival book has an entire page demonstrating how to do them, I would have thought people would be using them more.
Very good feature - less stress for videocard to show less logs and in general saves logs for other builds, requires less tree cutting and delivering to construction site.
There's two sizes of log which work for strutting: 1/2 and 3/4 for smaller and larger looks... functionally I don't know if there's a difference.
@@liamnehren1054 From what I remember, the 3/4 struts are necessary if you're taking out two supports. I had an issue with trying to use the smaller ones before realizing there's two lengths. But, maybe it was just a bug, too.
Great tips and overview! I knew all of this except picking up the radio and the shark bit.. that was fun to find in the cave... lol
Great video bro. First time on your channel and i like it. Keep them comming and cheers from Serbia 🇷🇸
daym spent 1 whole day figuring how to bring one radio to the base lmao xd so Virginia can dance to it,this came in just in time thank you very much :D
Wow, I missed just about all of these lol. Nice video!
nice tips :D
Lov it.
I chased Virginia with a modern ax everytime she crept up to me, I thought she was another hostile so I'd chase her away(without hitting her), I was so surprised when she starts bringing me shit, and even more surprised to realize that she kept following me everywhere and would sit in my base
Bro you're fantastic!!!!!
This video was super epic thank you❤
Overall a good video and I learned some new things! (I had no idea about the radio, thanks!) But a few corrections and some additional information i want to add.
1: Burning demons - you can find a note inside the final cave saying "The cross burns demons", but it is never mentioned that these creatures are demons outside of this as far as I know.
2: Stick defense - surround the sticks with 3 rocks to make them permanent, they will only break if manually damaged by enemies, not by enemies taking damage from them.
3: Virginias location - she just wanders the map, but will come to you if you start building. Once she has met you once, she is rarely far away.
3a: Things that get her to like/trust you - Watching you build, you watching her dance, killing enemies she points at, eating out of your planters, sitting next to your campfire, not holding a weapon when she is close. (All of these can be ignored, but it will take her longer to like/trust you)
4: Get items out of inventory - you can hotkey items, just hover them in your inventory and press a number key. When you are not in your inventory, just press the hotkey and you will equip or use the hotkeyed item.
5: You can send logs on the ropeline - just set up a ropeline with the ropegun and attach a log to it, it will travel the full length and disconnect at the end, both up and down. Practical if your logging site is some distance from the build site.
5a: You can tell Kevin to place logs in log storage - if you have to many logs flopping around they will start to de-spawn (Rough estimate around 55-60 of them).
6: If a enemy damages a skull chandelier, they will break it and reduce it to a simple skull lamp instead.
7: Burning bodies - You can drop the dead cannibals on top of campfires to burn them, and this gives you their bones and skulls.
7a. With the bodies dead, you can chop of limbs to get arms, legs and heads to use as foods or to scare the living ones away. (Not the best food option, but works in a pinch.)
7a. it is a reasonable food option but it doesn't heal you like other food.
Anything RAW and green will give you small amount of health and food. Cooked and green will only give you food.
I never use pills outside of caves, I get Kalven to get fish and eat raw to heal up. Takes about 10 fish after you die to get full health but watch out if you keep raw fish in your backpack, it WILL GO BAD "when in inventory you green/red marker" and take your stats down if you eat it! U can cook on a fire to make it good again, but it will only give you food, no health.
You can start a fire on the dead bodies you cannot pick up to get the bones from them as well.
If you leave the radio ON 24/7 at your base with some logs and food "planters" outside your walls for them to take, they more or less leave YOU, Kalven, and your base alone! No matter how many you have killed before. Some will even wave too you as they take the food/logs. Some will site at a fire or dance even.
Thanks for your video helped alot
If you're cold, you don't have to stop to hold the torch to stay warm. equip the torch, and go about your building. It'll continue to keep you warm, even though you're not actively holding it.
Thanks for the video these tips are great. One thing I would like to add is that it really doesn't matter if you have a weapon out or not and you don't have to look for Virginia, she will come to you. That may have been updated since the video but I am not sure I just got the game.
Thanks for the tip about the cross. May the power of Christ compel you!
Don't forget about the 3D printer near the broken down golf carts that you don't need a shovel to access, also a key card will get you farther into the same shelter later on
thank you for all this work
Don't forget to add 3 rocks to the stick defenses. It makes them far sturdier. Just hold the rock in your hand and look at it, and the slot outline will come up.
I love how Virginia picked up an extra stick for you.
She does that when I build stick defenses.
Thx for this Video. Greats from Germany
another feature: how long you take to end the helicopter scene is where you crash. It slowly flies along the island and what it's over is roughly where you crash. Allowing you to choose your start point.
This didn’t work for me. I wanted the beach start so I spammed the laptop and I still got the snow start
@@alessavandall61 funny It worked for me and I have seen people's streams where it worked. It might just up the probability or it's slightly glitched like a lot of things in the game right now.
not true at all, its random unless you pick hardmode which will spawn you on the mountain
Interesting, I'm playing my first playthrough rn with my friend and we landed on the mountain
Very good video. The repair tool is also a good early tip. There is another 3d printer, much closer, no shovel required & some players might not know about sending logs on a zip-line. Geat content, thx. 👍
I'm curious if the devs added some more unmarked hidden underwater locations like shipwrecks.
I have looked around a couple lakes but ya I wonder the same thing
That would be cool.
Great Video! liked and subbed...
That cross is too useful! Thanks!
The radio thing is hilarious! Thank you
- Press a Door open and ram a Stick in the Ground next to it and it stay open.
- You can build a Swimming Base, build it in the winter on the Ice and in the Rest of the Year it will swim on Water.
- Place GPS and Tourches at Entrances of Caves you have already visit to keep track.
- Build 2 fundament Boxes on Top of each other, then build your Base on top of several Towers and no Enemy can enter it (Kelvin/Virginia too).
- Spikes do not break if you add 3 Rocks at each Spike Base (actual I would also recomend to play with no Struckture Damage).
- You can place a Spike in each Fundament to ged rid of Enemys who Spawn or glitch inside.
- You can carry more Cans, if you open 4. The Catfood canno't be stored in Shelves but it also not spoil.
- The most easy Way to visit Caves it to wear a full Setof Leave Armor, have another in the Inventory, Sneak and use the Silenced Pistol or the Bow (no Laser, the Aim is bad, if you have enough Ammo I sugest the Pistol, because it is fast and more usefull against the Mutant Babys, no Explosives or you get the whole Cave alarmed)
- If you want Kelvin to harvest Trees, work with him (you use the Axe, he carry), work faster
- Place Trees you not can't add in the Storage vertical on the Ground (Like a Wall) and they will not despawn
- You can trow Logs at a Log Holder and they will sort themself in, work ideal with a Zipline, where you can add Logs) to autostore them on the End
- In the Club where A Guest has swallow a Guitar, you can get an own Guitar. To get it you need to save and load the Game after you have visit the Club and it will be on the Bar (it's maybe a Bug). The Guitar is a slow Melee Weapon, but a nice Collectible.
You can fortify the defense sticks by placing 3 rocks around each. I haven't seen them break yet but I'm sure if a later game mutant attacked them they may.
Also with the sled, you can jump and then press the interact button while in the air and you'll hop into it midair. As there's no fall damage in the sled, it's a nice thing to have for getting down massive cliffs.
The wakling Kelvin with radio is the funniest thing I ever seen in a game😂
one thing i learned recently is that you can send FULL logs up and down a zipline. very helpful for gathering logs and getting them back to your base :)
Stones also. The big ones
I want to add something about the third entry: You can place rocks around each stick so they don't break so easily.
Nice video bro
great video!
I didn't see it mentioned that Virginia's default top becomes see through when it rains. Definitely a useful "perk" 🤣
I don’t even play this game but watching the video just because I enjoy your content.
I just found him and am subscribing... He does ACTUAL tips videos 😁
Another feature about the sprinklers i found, i threw a molotov at the finger mutant thing in a maintenance tunnel, missed and the sprinklers went off and instantly killed the mutant
Thanks you very much about this secret
TY SO MUCH
I was exploring and came late to the demon cave since my friends were freaking out about it. When I got there I saw the email "crosses burn demons" and read that to them and asked if the cross does something, and we figured it out that way.
You can also put rocks around the deadly stick traps to increase their durability :)
The 3D mask ive found to only be mildly useful. It will deter some of the cannibals early game if you equip it, but after that it doesnt work. though im not even sure it does that much as they will sometimes go away on their own when you come across them early on. There is another type of mask you can find later in the game that may be more useful but havent tested it.
What do you consider early game? I've just passed day 30, and I still use it to visit their camps and pick up things I need like rope and cloth etc.... Just can't open the boxes.
@@deronny2212 I stopped using it around day 7 or so. i will occasionally use it on single cannibals that show up in my camp later on, but its hit or miss when it works. i have been pretty aggressive in my play throughs with friends tho, so i dont know if that impacts how effective it is.
Replacing armor with other armor, so you don’t waste tech armor for eg, I was stoked to realise I could do this today!
i learned a few things thanks
Virginia:
-She protecc
-She attacc
-But most importantly she takes you to good loots and you can dress her up
Then there's Kelvin: 👍
Hi just like the first Forest you could use your rebreathers light as a light source out of the water all you needed to do was enter water with rebreather equipped the light turns on automatically upon light switching on exit the water..... Then before light fades out/switches off quickly enter then exit your inventory the rebreather light is now on constant and will help you navigate the dark caves... This hasn't been confirmed to my knowledge that it works here in SOTF but give it a go it might work no harm in trying!
You can bind items to keys by hovering over them in the inventory and pressing the corresponding number key 1 thru 0
Thanks champ.
Cheers dude.
Virginia casually inturupting the demonstration got me dead for some reason💀
You can now assign a quick button (1-9) to item in your backpack to get them out quicker than holding tab
I'm glad you showed me the demons burning first because I missed doing that and that shit was underwhelming
Instead of holding “I” to look at your backpack, you can bind things to your hot bar instead. If you hover over your axe for example and press 1, whenever you press 1 going forward you’ll equip it whenever you want. This game just doesn’t have a visible hot bar but it’s there.
I use this all the time except my friends don't so they have to go in their backpack to get their pistol lmao
This actually a new feature that get update, is not on release of the game.
i wonder if the cube is part of the survival gameplay as if we have to go inside it every few days or get mutated ? like in 5 years when its a really finished game. remember lost the tv series when they had to input a number every few hours or they blew up or so they tough. would be cool if we could find the main guy from the first and he gives you quests and teaches you the script.
Haha, I've got that series. I always thought the first game reminded me of Lost. They have "the hatch" in this one. To add, I'd like them to do something like what you said. The First one had Megan monster and artifact after beating game....
"Anyways this next thing" xD Good video tho.
@RifleGaming Here`s one for you.. put full logs onto a zipline, helps moving them over water
I've been wondering how to get a radio back to my camp. This is helpful! But will it despawn when you skip time by sleeping?
Cannibals will slip on ice if they're running on it. A patrol found me and as I kept dodging them, they kept slipping on the ice we were on.
You can also use the sled on the streams, its janky but works.
Nice video! there are a few 3D printers and one easier than the Maint Dig spot
jumping on the tent also knocks it down. You can also place multiple pieces of tarp to make it look more like a tent then just a lean to and I swear I once saw Kelvin using the larger versions of the tent instead of the fire when he goes to sleep.
