Unfortunately, hardware stores don’t exist in the middle of anywhere, so we’re tasked with finding a Shovel in Sons of the Forest. The Shovel is not the easiest item to obtain as it’s guarded by a half-submerged incredibly deep cave.
First of all, where is the cave in question?
The cave is located towards the center of the map, you can tell it’s the Shovel cave because it’s decorated with three corpses impaled on wooden spikes. The cave is also half submerged in water. If it’s cold enough, the cave entrance will be frozen over.
How to find the Shovel Item in Sons of the Forest
We will now list step-by-step how to obtain the Shovel item in Sons of the Forest.
- Enter the cave and continue until you find the pool of water. Don’t worry about getting lost underwater, the cave is fairly linear.
- Continue out of the first underwater dive, here you will find the Wetsuit, along with extra Air.
- You’ll slide down a large hill shortly after this, don’t panic you won’t take any damage.
- You’ll pass two bodies with yellow vests as you advance through the cave. Continue forwards.
- You’ll then find a body in a larger open area that’s holding the Weapon flashlight attachment, very useful.
- Advance through the next body of water, this dive is much shorter. You’ll then advance towards another more open area, with a view of a *SPOILER* just behind the corpse wielding the Shovel.
There you have it. That’s how you obtain the Shovel in Sons of the Forest. Not the easiest thing in the world to get, but it brings with it a multitude of uses, that makes the hassle well worth it.
What do I need to find the Shovel in Sons of the Forest?
There are a couple of items you’re going to need in order to make it to the Shovel without dying.
First, you’re going to need plenty of sources of light, be that a lighter, torch, or flashlight. It’s pitch-black deep in the cave the Shovel is located.
Second, you’re going to need the Rebreather. There’s no alternative to this, the cave is far too submerged to survive without some underwater breathing apparatus.
