Sons of the Forest Shovel: Location and Functions

Where can I find the shovel and how do I get there?

First of all, it is important to know where exactly you can find the shovel. In the center of the map you have probably already encountered the icy and mountain-covered biome, a bit to the west of which is the entrance to the cave where you can find the shovel - but before you head there, not only do you need to find two other essential items, but you also need to equip yourself very well, because the locations of the two other items and the shovel cave itself are not walks through a meadow of flowers.

Note: you probably will not miss the entrance to the Shovel Cave, because three spiked people invite you into the cave - if that does not inspire faith.

Rope gun and rebreather - preparation is everything

The Shovel Cave offers quite a few obstacles to overcome and for this you need the so-called Rebreather, with which you can breathe under water and conveniently even see a bit better, and the Rope Gun, which you need to be able to cross chasms in caves on the attached ropes and hang your own ziplines. Where to find the two items:

• Rebreather: can be found at one of the northernmost points in the game, and you can recognize the cave by the fact that it is closed with boards. Besides the Rebreather, you will also find a Stun Gun in the cave, which is designed to stun enemies - but pay close attention to your surroundings, because Sons of the Forest is not known for social and fun cave explorations without incident
• Rope Gun: you will find this cave located in the west, not far from the Shovel Cave. Besides the Rope Gun, you will also find the cross in the Rope Gun cave, but you should be aware that there are also some creatures lurking there that you would not want to meet even at night in your dreams

As you can see, just like in the predecessor The Forest, it is also indispensable in Sons of the Forest to equip yourself well before the trips to the caves, for example with light sources like the lighter or torches and of course with all kinds of explosives and weapons, otherwise the expeditions will be over faster than you would like.

Get and use shovel

Once you have made all the preparations and are now standing in front of the entrance of the Shovel Cave, you must slowly and carefully venture deeper and deeper into the sections of the cave - overcome chasms and leave several underwater paths behind you. At some point, you will surely reach a point where you think to yourself that you no longer want to clear out nasty creatures and overcome annoying barriers - but go a bit further and you will soon come across a large cave that not only contains an abandoned research station - right in front of the station you will find a corpse carrying the shovel. Congratulations, your efforts have paid off and you are now the proud owner of the shovel in Sons of the Forest!

Well, you still have to walk all the way back and face hostile creatures again... but: the shovel is in your hands and will serve you well from now on. Surely you have already discovered the symbols on your GPS locator that mark interesting spots - to be able to dig there you need the shovel, of course, and it is also a good support for improvements during construction. It is also important for reaching certain places where you can find more valuable and essential items.
