We’ve highlighted the interesting places we’ve found so far as detailed in the legend. Named icons have notable loot or features which we’ll detail in the next section.
Sons of the Forest Locations
Here are all of the locations we’ve discovered in Sons of the Forest and what we found inside. Keep in mind that we’ll only mention notable items or features of each location; these locations may have enemies or other loot, too.
Here are what each of the icons in the Legend means:
- Spawn Point – These are the locations where you begin your adventure on the island. Your spawn point is randomly chosen from a set of three predetermined locations.
- Cannibal Camp – Cannibal Camps are populated by Cannibals and will usually have a small amount of loot within.
- Cave – Some Caves will only have a few items. Others will be larger areas that require exploration or lead to BUnkers.
- Bunkers – Bunkers are the unfinished or damaged facilities on the island that typically have high-tech items and useful loot.
- Point of Interest – Points of Interest are special areas where you can find Crafting materials or other useful items.

The Beach Spawn is one of three spawn points where you will randomly start the game.

The Zipline Cave should be the first place you visit if you’re seeking to explore all of the other Bunkers. The Rope Gun is one of the items you’ll need to get the Shovel, and the Shovel opens up access to many of the other Bunkers.
