Throwing a log into a bunch of fish is a great way of getting a lot of fish fast.
And feathers with seagulls
That's a lot of fish.
Also useful to defend yourself from cannibals, by stunning them.
They may eventually die, but it's not the best/faster way to do it.
@BETMARKonTube I wonder if that counts as you damaging them. I'm under the impression if you personally take out half of the group, and the rest flee, they tell the nearby camps so the next visit is larger in numbers
I could be wrong tho
Grenade
One of the perfect spots for building your base is at the campsite where you find the modern axe. It has a small body of water that doesnt freeze over during winter and the campsite has guaranteed MRE's and sodas spawning each time you load. Plus its a nice open clearing
Just found this myself and funnily enough decided to build close by. Such a nice spot.
3 months later and I built my base here too , inside that little fenced in area and then built around it clearing trees . Cool to see alot of people end up here!
Ngl, the first Forest game was always decent, sometimes good, but never quite what i was hoping for it to be. Sons of the Forest is more i couldve imagined. Theres so many small details and features hidden in the game, from the log transporting technique to watching an eagle grab a fish out of a lake and then land to eat it, it has so much to look at. Such a beautiful game
That middle mouse click GPS just saved me actual hours of running around the map looking for markers, thank you so much
A silly tip I never seen mentioned anywhere is:
*You can open boxes and case by hitting them.*
Of course you can HOLD the action key for few seconds, but if you're already holding a weapon, or a rock, is still a faster way to do it.
Man you explain & speak very good I like it, thanks to you for this beginner tutorial very helpful to me.
The way you shot Kelvin in the face lmao! Great tips!
As of June 23rd, you can’t drink straight from a river, lake, etc. without losing some health. You have to boil the water now. A “dirty water, clean water” system.
For moving logs via zipline, you can also now move logs of any size across ziplines, not just full size logs.
The first one you mentioned was wrong You can drink from those sources. You just have to enable it in the settings before creating a game
Tip 57. You can stun a fingers mutant in the leg with any weapon, best weapon to go for is a range weapon or a spear.
Spear is one of the best weapons when clearing caves early imo
Glad to see the multiplayer item duplication glitch from the first game is basically identical in this game! It is suuuuuper handy for simple items like cloth! Also, the final tip couldn't be more true! Don't full on complete the game straight away, savour the story and start by just collecting essential items like the shovel and ropegun. You'll want to at least have them as caves get tougher late game with tons more enemies
Shame the display table thing isn't currently present in the second game. It was quite useful to duplicate story items (like rebreather and axes and such) so that other members, especially the ones who joined in late, don't have to go through the caves anymore to catch up.
@@EironKyle that's true! The first game had sooooo many ways to exploit and get more stuff! I get why this game doesn't have those glitches though, because well... They're not intended 😂
Thanks for the tips dude! GG
My pleasure!
Me and my gf are having a blast with this game! yes it’s not complete and some items or buildings from the forest are not there (yet) but the game is amazing! building is so much better! Combat is fun too.
dope video man, I'm currently editing my first episode of a playthrough for this game. I can feel myself getting immersed so quickly. high quality video bro, you deserve some more subs
Hey, I really appreciate the kind words PizzleG! Best of luck with your video!
this tips i needed, ty
RIP being able to get clean water from streams and lakes
I’m on like day 120 so pretty much every cannibal has armor so I don’t really use ranged weapons anymore, I usually just heavy swing the katana at their back after they swing. Free kill.
Great job thanks.
Little late but here is another tip. I found out that if your cooked meat spoils u can simply cook it again!
nice!
A much better way of clearing stick trees and bushes is to simply push the log cart around
where is ur base location located, the one by the pond, that looks like an amazing place to set up
frankly i find the actual backpack nearly useless when we have the keybinds, the things I would put most often on it are things I want out quickly but not quick enough to use a keybind. Since the stuff i usually would want on it can't put on it I mostly make sure that rocks are on it so I don't have to open the inventory to get to stones but sometimes if i'm out of stones it will switch that slot to skulls and i have to fix it later.
also if you want permanent food that doesn't reduce thirst, cook your meats/fish before putting it on the drying rack it won't turn to "dried" meat instead it will remain as "cooked" meat giving the full benefit without expiring.
Ah, that's a great tip to know! Thank you for sharing!
For people who might want to know, #9 (boxes respawning) is not true anymore.
A better way to clear brush is with the log sled.
That's good to know, I'll keep it in mind!
@@alessioHD at the moment is better golf cart
I just bought this game last night and already started over 4 times lol
0:39 Not sure if it was changed.
But I can also bind an item to 0.
0:37 The hotkeys thing works on controller too somehow?
What is that little inventory type thing he pulled out in his left hand at 5:25 ?
when you go to kelvin and tell him to take an item, this will pop up
in multiplayer you can dupe an item by making two peaople pick it up at the same time
I had no idea you could build fences!
Haha, glad you learned something!
@@alessioHD
I somehow didn't know that you can extend fences upwards.
And the "wear comfortable on a bench" too, but I don't think I'm going to use it.
Super useful tip:
*Use the TURTLE SHELL TRAP to insta kill most of the enemies.*
Pick it up and put it down under their feet.
By picking it up, you also re-set it at the same time, no need to hold the key to do it, before.
You may even do it while chasing your enemies/preys, riding the Knight V.
sounds like a lot of work when shotgun exists
@@poolbwoy6585
I don't know.
I don't use any cheat and shotgun shells are not infinite.
But it still was another funny thing to add to the list of tips and tricks.
@@BETMARKonTube can u even use cheats in Sons yet? i know developermode was in the first but i havent seen any way to cheat. and shells respawn 🙏
@@poolbwoy6585
Yeah, no. I meant that. Not using the respawn.
But the game is about having fun, so, if someone like fire weapons that's good.
I'm more into bows and traps, just to feel it more like a survival.
The shotgun may exist, but ammo isn't always abundant Especially You can play on harder difficulties which it would be handy
2:34 RIP KELVIN 🤣
So the cannibals no longer respect nap time lol
I took that last tip a little too seriously. I haven't when found the first three way points on the map at the beginning. Maybe only have about 30 hours on the game but the basic survival of it is fun
Haha, that's the way to go man, then the story will be a bonus after!
Ive learnt that holding a log is not the best time to tell kelvin to do something 😂
Haha that's very true 😅
Why is that?
@@TheLewy6910 you will kamehameha the log in kelvin's face
@@maikelfan ahh haha
Why don't people mention that the Knight V get's rid of fall damage but you tumble if you go to fast when you hit the ground (Still no fall damage)
knight v wasnt in the game at the time of the video
I need to know how you built over that river is 5:15
Actually super easy, barely an inconvenient.
Just wait winter and build on ice.
When it melt back to water, the building will just stay there.
Oh, wait... here's already Winter... maybe the water is just shallow enough, there.
If there are Arrows in the area, Kelvin will gather those as well.
Ive played 34 hrs without working out how to USE THE FOOKIN HOT KEYS OH MAN GLAD I CLicked this video. like n sub boii
TIP : dry meat is faster if you place a fire under the rack~
guide for those who bought the game and never played it 💀
Using the zip line gun for hunting birds is pretty easy
I only got console players, have to wait till full release
i wonder what your PC system is ?
If I give my shotgun to a friend, that friend will then save and all I have to do is leave and come back right? I’d be the only one who doesn’t save. Is that how it works?
Can i turn friendly fire off
the first nade i found i threw it and it bounced off a monsters face and killed us lmao
it is interesting to me how many people think that the trees just fall the way your looking, if you fell the tree the way you would in real life, you'd see the trees always fall the direction you notch them in, not straight forward. Learn how to fell trees like you would in the real world.
What did Kelvin do for that shotgun blast lmao
He knocked down my treehouse, he had it coming
at 2:55 u are exactly on my Base location :D
Haha that's cool, can't believe you just spotted it from the map!
@@alessioHD directly spotted :D i like this position.
Came here hoping for more combat tips but there are barely any in this video. I'm playing hard mode and getting destroyed early game lol
@NorthernSmog I'm also playing on hard mode. I'm really upset though I'm on day 27 And apparently the maintenance keycard isn't working to open the doors😡😭
in #5 tip you can press number 1-0
You can cook spoiled meat and it will become good for eating.
Using Kelvin as a pin cushion tf.
You can actually you hot keys 1-0
You can cook rotten meat and it will be fresh again
Wait you can skin a deer!?!?
You can indeed!
70 hours into SotF and I just learned this, and IT MAKES HIDE ARMOR.@@alessioHD
My hotkeys are numpad 0-9
Mine don't work with Numpad, but I also have the option from 1 to 0 on the left numbers.
@@ReiCaixa has to be set to numpad in bindings settings
I feel like releasing the full story was a bit of an mistake I feel like. as there isn't a lot of other incentives to play the game.
The incentive of The Forest was never the story. It was the building and surviving. Don't get me wrong, I want more story elements. But if you're mainly here for that reason, you picked the wrong game.
The Problem with your statement is that the devs have added so much in the game that pushes you to finish the story instead of building.
1: there is tons of beds underground where you can sleep, save and even make food. so no need for building to survive.
2: The constant raids of cannibals or mutants, who focus your base buildings over you.
3: The Friendly AI like Kelvin and Virginia isn't always helping in defending. Kelvin is biggest problem here, as he does nothing to help defend, Virginia can help, but her aim isn't always on point and she sometimes runs off into the woods.
4: The lack of Defensive building stuff, like Traps, reinforced walls etc.. (Yes, I know the Rocks is buildable in the game now, and can be used as defensive.. But they also added the end boss as an enemy that can spawn near your base to destroy it, and its just as strong as its in the caves.
5: Then we have the brokenly Over powered Enemy.. he Glowing Creep.. or the blue glowing cave Mutant.. That can 3 shot an player with creep armor, and have an insane health pool, and always spawns in packs of those Cave mutants, and there is always 2 of those Glowing ones in each pack.
I can keep going with points on why the game isn't incentivising the players to build.. but then this respond would be too long.. which it already is.
@@darknessmohag6181 Sounds to me like a simple fix would be to play the game in a more survival-esque way rather than rushing to complete the story then complain that your base is constantly being attacked by demons and cave mutants. There is no point in rushing to finish the story in this game. Just survive on the surface, start exploring the caves once you have a small base with defenses set up and survive. That's the point of the game. Survival.
@@indecisivewolf5620 you do know that Mutants will attack the base in midgame also.. meaning, during the time you have gotten the shovel and fire axe/chainsaw.
And The Fire axe/Chainsaw is meant to be tools to help with Base building, same with ziplines.. But when you have those Mutants will attack your base.
Also.. if I would build base without having to deal with mutants I need to do that in Early game, before you get Fire axe/Chainsaw/Zipline.
Face it.. The Game is making it unreasonably hard to build base in the game, as The AI will attack building First, or focus mostly on the buildings instead of you.. and one wall can be enough damage to destroy the whole building you spend maybe 2 hours on.
@@darknessmohag6181 I agree it was such a pain in ass to build that the only logical thing to do was just keep moving especially in the beginning with such weak weapons.
1st
man but, i knew every thing from this video so it wasnt that helpful
Shit. I die on day 1 over and over because i get bum rushed by 10 assholes when i don't even have a spear yet
