I always use the dynamite to get the trees down, and on the rare occasion I can see the cannibals in the distance, and they are not interested in checking out the loud bangs coming from my dynamites. But on a quiet night, they want to join me for a BBQ. It is so random sometimes.
I have a house boat with catapults filled with bombs. And I’m right next to the yacht. Food resonans there every time. So I get to yeet cannibals. I have noose traps all over the map to poke them with a spear. I have the life. I definitely recommend house boats
Sasuke I’ve never built the house boats because idk if they’re worth is lol are they mobile?
@@SavageEntertainmentYEAH yep you can take them all over the map
LMAO XD Thank you for this! I'm going to try this!
If you were a cannibal looking for a nom-nom, would you attack the madman lobbing dynamites all over the place or the chap huddling by his campfire at night.
I love the AI in this game it feels so real sometimes.
Its terrifying at times lol

Thank you Farket...
I’ve been waiting to be granted the rank of lightbulb for a very long time...
Me and my friend started a build there without even realising the routes! We just figured, it’s on a hill surrounded by cliffs and rivers so will be a good defendable position!😂
Same!!! and i also built a crazy high up house for laughs and it turns out, my base is invulneurable to attacks. set up happy birthdays by my walls and ive never faced a cannibal i didnt look for to begin with
Yea, I need a video on how to get Cannibals cause it gets pretty boring with no action whatsoever.
I today started playing and It looked neat to set up here and it is perfext
@@JojoEditor1970 nope, you will run into lack of sticks and logs up there. It’s a massive pain in the arse 😂

I don’t think I have to tell you how terrified I was when he went right next to where I set up my camp and just nonchalantly said “so the main camp is just here” and marks the side of my camp that’s completely undefended
yeah this video is the only reason i realized i live right next to the main camp
So markiplier, lordminion777, And muskrim picked the perfect place to live accidentally to avoid as many cannibals as possible

me and my friends did the same thing, idk what it is about that place
@@emuh probably because of the large space area

Cannibals: Has realistically complex and advanced AI that allows for complex decision making
Also cannibals: Runs in circles only to run away
Best strategy I've found for "Peaceful Building" is to start aggressive. By day 3 I think I killed more then 40 (hunt them at night) and had no effigies (I ate the majority of the body parts and burned the torsos for bones so maybe the AI is programmed for fear?). I made sure to kill every encounter and leave no survivors. Every time I see them now they will keep their distance and force me to hunt them down 1 by 1 lol. I do like your idea though, I plan on using it to make them run through bottlenecks filled with traps.
Now it’s just a survival game for you. It’s a horror game for them.
Ik right. Cannibals are just full of goodies xD
Same. Im on day like 128 or so, i take out patrols, and crazy groups of armsies. I kid you not ive seen them run away from me. Im like just get here, i need your armor.
"I am the horror."
Send a monster to beat the monsters.
Just coming to this 5 years in the future. Memories man. Memories. I miss the feeling of being obsessed with this game.
Honestly that area you were pointing at is the best place to build. I’m on day 140 and they didn’t find me until day 48, then until around day 135 I saw them in my actual base (pretty much the south most part of the cliff above the fertile lands, directly north of the main cannibal village) about 3 times. I just got back from completing the ending and I got cocky, killed a bunch of them in front of each other, and only now are they bugging me quite a bit. But now I have a full base, full strength & athleticism, zip lines to the cliff that goes to the cannibal village and also to the katana cave, a crane that comes up from the ocean “entrance” to the fertile lands, and deadfall traps lining the openings where they can come up the cliff. I used the “taming the cannibals” method up until this point (blocking their attacks and rarely attacking back above the caves, only killing small groups and making sure to burn the bodies, always walking away instead of running) and I bet that helped a lot, too.
I love how I’ve accidentally done this in this exact location since my first play through. It’s worked out so well combined with a raft equipped with everything needed to survive for days
At the corner of this lake, there is a point where you can walk across the lake, about 50-60ft, and you won’t go underwater. The path isn’t easily visible, but it’s wide enough to get a log cart across it. I built a small rock wall to guide a path with a small break in it to let rafts through.
Same. I just looked on my map in game to see where we had set up camp and I'm not too far off.
I would absolutely be able to follow this if I could see your cursor moving. Because I have no idea what you mean by "here. No wait that place is dangerous. Over HERE. No that's dangerous too. Wait, yeah here." Just a thought.
What i normally do :
Day 1 ~ 3 : Setup a Coastal Base along the Shore parallel to an Island
Day 3 ~ 5 : Build a Boat, Transport Logs to Island
Day 5+ : Build on Island.
GG, Never have to worry about Cannibals ever again. After I have my Base on Island setup, I choose when to raid them, Not the other way around !!!
MelodicNostalgic seems like a good idea, i have set up on the peninsula in the south west, i built a wall to act as more of a screen and deterrent to patrols rather than a defence, so far its working, i have not built anything serious so far as i am worried they may follow me to my camp and breach the wall, im day 24, i set up at this location at about day 12
What I do when starting a new save:
Day 1 minute 1: Build a raft, boat to the yacht, find dinner, sleep in style, always have the initiative on the cannibals from the sea from now on.
Day 2-4: Chop logs, build on the island
Day 5-whenever: Gather resources and build a network of invulnerable island bases so I can easily go wherever I want by boat.
or you can build on a lake, i did that i beta, then all building took damage. but now you can just take it off
pretty boring for me. i often build my base in a hotspot. thats the best.
Yeah give it time you'll have them respawning on your island even though they have no way of getting there. It makes the rest of the game pointless.

he have had changed the color at the end
Ok, I played my first game exactly like he described (I didn’t know that this video existed) I can attest that it was super peaceful up there! I made an elevator up to the cliff, there are tons of resources at the base. I put storage for logs and sticks in the elevator and a stone wall around the base of the elevator to take them up. I made a stairwell down to the valley on the Left and a stone wall across like Farket did. It’s crazy that this was the technique I used! Before I set up and learned about the island I travelled around extensively making hunting shacks and fire pits. This felt like the right spot

When playing with friends, fear factor is like -3 - we just have a good laugh after bloodbath and get those easy bone fences. But when playing alone - not saying it is more difficult - but every scream and noise etc increases the fear every time in this game
It's creepy as fk.
Played it for 1st time last week and the noises freak me out .
Gonna have to start again tho as I started to build right next to the plane and was being attacked instantly.😢😢😢
@@BADWOLF-cs6ow I started fortifying by using stone walls in that position and they can't do anything to my base (building destruction is off for me).

@@mobgoblin1162 😜
If you know the game well you know where he's pointing at, just look at his cursor and his paint when he talks, it'll make more sense that way.
This is what I did in my very first playthrough.
I built my main camp on the containers in the west. When I got attacked a LOT I figured I needed refuge. So I built a small camp on the islands there so when my base was swarmed, I could swim over.
And when they attacked me too often, like multiple times in one day, I started this :
I sprinted around the island along the cliffs. When my stamina was out and I couldn't sprint any longer I built a hunting shelter, a fire and a bench. And then I did the same thing again. So I had a bunch of save points and always some refuge that I rarely visited so the enemies hardly found me. After some days I would come back to my main camp and the cannibals seemed to have forgotten about me, at least for some time. :)
Great research as always. I’ve completely walked off the upper fertile lands, cannibals and mutants have been bugging out on the lower beach, they started either glitching or spawning inside the walls (I’m on day 310 of this play through). Even the worm has bugged, spawning on the lower beach and unable to fly up the cliff. I’ve been testing moving back and forth between areas and they seem less likely to glitch inside my walls. Thanks always, cheers mate.
That explains why I'm always surrounded by cannibals and sometimes even mutants, my base is around the plane where I first spawned 😅
I still don't understand why Farket only has 114k he deserves way more subs as his video quality is great and anyone who plays The Forest should watch Farket as he's entertaining and very informative and I even finished the game by watching his videos and he definitely helps you with the game.
Thank you Farket.
@Carbo Rossa I understand that as some people can get bored as sometimes he is explaining things with not enough action so some people might get bored but surely more than 114k who has the forest would find him funny and useful as he goes into great depth in most of his videos
The only problem I have with this is that you can have a completely empty stealth meter, yet they find you instantly
Just run away and repostion, the only things that hunt you down no matter what are the big Mutants since they have like ultra senses.
Cheers, Farket! Ty for still bieng the only professional youtuber making flawless The Forest videos. Please, keep up the amazing work! Good luck in your future clips!
The cannibals were chasing after me and I sneakily hid behind a tree in the middle of the woods, they ran past me but eventually they catch me because they keep following my footsteps!
This video is hands down the reason why I subscribed and have liked your videos over the past 3 months. Especially explained during the go up here, no dont go up here that area is dangerous part.
I always build my first base on that plateau to the far east side of the map and rarely have cannibals attacking there, but I will only spend full days there at the beginning of the game when I’m building. I end up building bases in other places mostly out of boredom because the cannibals and mutants don’t seem to attack that far east location much at all. Makes it a good spot for stashing and safety with minimal defences
I literally did this by accident. Built exactly here and wondered why they never came through. Guess I just got lucky, because I definitely didn't know this.
I subscribed just because of your dad joke "You can be a lightbulb... because you are smart for subscribing to me"
Helpful video. I want to try this out. My boyfriend and I usually build a base by the lake slightly inland from the yacht (with a village at one end). After awhile it gets tough to get anything done, but it's a convenient location.
Am I the only one who did this exact same thing?? (Building the 2 safest bases as described in the video) before even watching this??
I watched this much later after building and felt extremely happy // glad cause it was pure luck that I found a location to build my base , miles after walking
The first time I saw one I was out in the dark and hear something laughing and running and threw my controller out my window 😂😂😂
5:18
Wasn’t expecting a laugh but it was a damn good one.
That make sense because that's the fertile lands where I NEVER see a cannibal when I build there. But because of the lack of wood I am constantly going back and fourth over the water to collect sticks and to get cloth from the village. This video explains it!
I'm not very good at English, but I understand the pictures. When I saw this 5:20 I understood the essence of the whole universe. Thank you!
This is so funny because I literally built precisely where he put the lightbulb and built that fat wall he was talking about. It’s good to know I made a smart choice this time haha
I've noticed it you build by that waterfall pond on eastern most edge you rarely if ever get attacked. I built there and haven't been attacked at the base at all, the cannibals never show up.
"if u build here and get your trees here they will keep coming"
Me to my friends:
Boys we gotta move
I'm actually happy other people were able to decipher what was going on around the ending point.
4:11 “say if you’re building like here” *proceeds to nearly exactly pinpoint my base*
Honestly, I didn't know what was going on in the video this guy's voice is just so soothing
How to outsmart this wild idiots.
1:build a boat
2:add catapult on the boat and get bow and arrows
3:the cannibal and mutant slayer
on normal you can kill mr high five, spider woman lady and propably fat man too with only two catapult shots
I've got my camp built where you circled, on the hill next to the big useless tree near the yacht. Mutants walk around that cliff often and patrol right outside my walls. The trees are too far away now to sustain my own life, so I might wall off a piece of the beach use it as a dock and transport my logs the way you suggested and just use a crane on the cliff face.
Will tell you, if they are chasing you and you can break contact fast enough and get to a bush in the shade, pretty much can evade them, at least solitary skirmishers. Can't tell you how many times I get into a bush stay still then put an arrow in the head of the cannibal chasing me!
we built a 5k+ log compound with my friend that is on top of 2 islands right next to each other and we have a long ass bridge that has max. security at main enterance. We gave 2 doors in total at bridge ; main door is a giant protected door and second one is at the other side of it. its just a regular door. We are at day 43 and no attacks yet.
Absolutely No One:
Farket at 3 am: Hello everyone, its Farket here...
Edit: OMG thx 4 the li..kes... dont care tbh.
Stop putting something like that in your comments, it just ruins the joke.
maybe its not 3 am everywhere.
shocking, i know.
Apparently the accent wasn't enough of a hint lol
DIOhydrogen Monoxide wow. You do realise it was a joke right. Pretty sure he knows that.
It's not 3am here you fool
Just finished this game only started playing about a week or 2 ago. I absolutely can not wait for the second one. The ending to the first caught me so off guard honestly. I know there were plenty of clues but I’m dumb, so I didn’t expect to find what I found at the end. Better than any movie I’ve seen recently.
I have lived on that island for a hot sec around 25 days in game time and it’s nice tbh they all hang out on that beach so it’s easy to have a zip line from the top of that cliff and and so forth
I usually build my base on that giant island in the south east. The only disadvantage to that is worms can swim and you need a raft or some way of getting materials over that isn’t small like sticks or stones. Also, by day 7 or so, Armsy’s and Virginia’s spawn really close by to any wood supply and to the west is a massive main camp for the enemies.
You put the lightbulb in the exact spot where my base is
That top cliff face with the small pond and the little patch below it to the East of the lake is the safest place in the game aside from islands or building a lake house on the water. The cliff is also the easiest to build for. You can easily do 100 days of Zero contact. Even the actual attacks they send at you, they don't go the long way round. They sit at the bottom of the cliff and then leave when they can't find you.
On my first playthrough, I ended up on the beach by the island below those cliffs you were showing us. I built a log cabin, and never saw a single patrol come near my base.
2:31 , the second you said that , i instantly subscribed
Smashing it lad. Great great content
Nice plan, now i got an idea..
your scetch really helps, i just tried my best to follow where are you pointing at
In my game, on PS4 I have this whole area with the double plateau, on the far east off the edge of the map, totally isolated and walled off. It is the largest safe zone I have ever created. There are a few places you need to wall off, but you can let them keep the lowest beach all the way around. The tribals can't even use their village.
Thank God I built my camp LITERALLY EXACTLY WHERE YOU SAID YOU CAN TRICK THE AI!
What i find kind of funny is the fact that i literally built my very first camp up there on that same dead end hill.... i do agree its a safe AF spot to be in
I started playing this game again for the first time in months. I gotta say, the natives have learned dodge-roll. Sometimes they just stand there and I find them dead later. I didn't do it, but I still used their bones. Crafting stuff is different now too. I also lost the cockpit of the plane and don't have the flare gun, how will I kill mutants? I've survived by hiding and running from them as well as camping in a houseboat.
Use the bow for the muntants crafted or modern its the best way 100%
Weak spears. Sidestep is better than running. Head north, snowy cliff right in the middle for the gun.
I HIGHLY suggest building a fence!
I had my volume all the way up by accident when I started the video and I think I woke the neighbours with the explosion sound effect
Built on the cliff said as mentioned on the map and ive had no issues with them even when i was just hanging about at my base going on 39 days
I actually already made my base by those cliffs he explained. I not only had a zip line to get between the two points he described, but I found a way to climb the cliff side without the use of any structures. Using parkour and such, I’ve only seen Canabals once up too near my base, and they were merely a patrol unit that passed me by. I make almost a daily trip to the main canabal village, and have yet to be attacked at my base.
I can't get enough of your commentary 🤣 your accent is class
the first area you marked out is the same area i always use and go to in every time i make a new world.
I took a picture of the map with there routes you were drawing haha I legit understand it with everything.
Could listen to your Voice for Ages soo chilled out 10/10
I just built a boathouse with all my needs tacked into it. A bit too small but hey, I can watch them scream at me all day while chewing on my dried lizard
That's it... Imma suscribe to ur channel is very entertaining watch your videos and your voice is so soothing
This game is legit so hard for me because i don't like combat so much or the idea of going down into dangerous caves. So I've only played on creative and peaceful modes, just recently I started a normal play through and its sooooo scary 😅 virgina launched itself into the water once, accidentally planted a temp home right in a hot spot and had to spend the night on top of a beach stand/perch... but literally it does help.... actually it literally explains what happened, i was negging some mutants on the river, i built my home at the bottom of those eastern cliffs... i only just realized the two i lost sight of rerouted themselves in that path way you described because the same creatures turned up at my house that night.
you said in one of your previous videos about the water int the pot changing from dirty to clean when it rains, but you can just collect rain water with the pot if its empty and you hold it out while its raining
This is some next level stuff.
Very noice!
I went into this game thinking Im going to eradicate them if they come close and fear me not hid
Just bought this game on console and these vids do help out!
damn when did ya hit 100k? congrats man
Just today i had to run around my base repairing everything due to constant attacks, i hope this tip helps me
Ive build a bridge where they usually cant get through at that last part of the video (easier to transport logs in my opinion) and they use that to cross instead of doing that long arch around so keep that in mind if you wanna build at that part
farky is a Mega nerd of Forest
I saw someone say he has over 1000hrs on the game :0
On Videos yeah Most probably @@temporality_
Offline idk He might be the developer himself XD
I built in the place where you drew in light blue and I’m now just starting to get a Little bit of cannibals because I let one of them go so I really recommend building there
Mate you are the person I watch to get anything done in the forest
Cheers for the informative content mate you know this game very well and its super helpful,
Im glad I just so happened to build my base right were you put the circle at the end so attacks are rear.
I never had any cannibals in the fertile lands.... Even after day 30, they don't come over.
by cave 2 is easy to build despite the cannibals showing up early because you can go in the cave for supplies when they show up. useful flares, ciruit boards, watches, bottles, cloth and more. plue all the trees makes it quick to put a base up. cliff at geese lake is also easy. even though there is a patrol, as long as you dont go too far out, they dont see you
Right where you put your light bulb at is where I always build . Even on hard survival it’s the perfect spot . Deer spawn, water, fish spawn, no cannibles ever patrol up there. I can go days with out seeing a cannible. It was actually pretty annoying when I want attacks . Had to build a trail of bonfires to bring them to me
There is actually a patrol route in the valley between those two cliffs, its great for having as much interaction as you want by going down and fighting then going up to the cliff base
Thanks Farket! Love your tips and tricks!
what the fuck man i never got a single notification about you and i have the bell on but then after 4 MONTHS youtube decides to tell me you still exist
time to binge your vids while waiting for the forest to reinstall
How to be safe, build a houseboat, live on an island you're safe.
And enjoy a pretty boring game...
You have to go inland at some point...
"and watch where the enemies go, Burp"
haha you fucking legend :)
Me thinking to built my big sea base : your cannibal powers are not effecting me
04:39 Cheers Buddy xD
So thats why, me and my friend were set up base near the yacht, and in the day 9 we were often attacked and raided. And we move to base near katana cave for a few days there is no attack or cannibals patrol and at day 21 there is many raid an attack.
I think the cannibal route becoming closer to our base or they just need to find our base and initiate attack
