Numerous locations are locked behind a Keycard, demanding players to increase their exploration strategies and gain access to uncover the secrets behind the mysterious activities in the forest. For that instance, players must get on all the Keycards in the game to pave the way for a smooth playthrough.
I will guide you through getting all the keycards used in several locations throughout the Sons of the Forest.
Key Takeaways
- Three sequential Keycards are essential: Maintenance, VIP, and Guest.
- To acquire the Maintenance Keycard, head to the northeastern green encircled area, use a shovel to unearth the metal hatch, and retrieve the keycard from an underground base.
- Use the shovel at this spot and open the revealed hatch to access the Maintenance Keycard.
- Look for the VIP Keycard in the northwestern marked area, navigate through a cave, and obtain it from a security room desk.
- Obtain the Guest Keycard by accessing a cave entrance marked on the map, using the Maintenance Keycard to unlock a facility, and retrieving the Guest Keycard from a round table in the guest lobby.
Maintenance Keycard
The earliest essential card is the Maintenance Keycard, which is crucial for progression. It demands traversing a volatile world with lurking cannibals.
Look for it in the northeastern green-encircled area near a beautiful lake and trees, marked by a shovel icon. Also, I will advise players to stay vigilant during your search, as the place is lurking with all types of enemies.
- To access the cave entrance, use a shovel to uncover a hatch.
- Obtain a shovel by referencing our Sons of the Forest guide.
- Once acquired, dig to reveal the hatch, then interact with it to open and access the cave.
- Follow the path to the Maintenance room, where the Maintenance Keycard is located.
- Use this keycard to unlock various doors throughout the map, facilitating your progress.
VIP Keycard
Players actively seek the VIP Keycard, granting access to additional locations.
- Visit marked green spots to find it. Head northwest, according to the map.
- Unlike the Maintenance Keycard, search for an open hatch in a dark cave.
- Bring a torch for easier navigation.
- The secret cave leads to an already-opened hatch, guiding you to a remote area.
- Use the Maintenance Keycard to unlock additional sections.
- Navigate through the rooms and laboratories to the flooded cave area.
- Your goal is to reach the security room.
- Getting across submerged rooms might pose challenges, but it’s worthwhile once you obtain the VIP Keycard.
- In the security room, search the desk for the VIP Keycard. It’s crucial for exiting the location. Remember to pick it up.
Guest Keycard
Last but not least is the Guest Keycard, which requires special attention. Many players overlook and never pay attention to the third Keycard in Sons of Forest. But it is worth noting that the Guest Keycard is essential to progress in the game.
- As for the location, players must visit the cave entrance leading to a purple room once again.
- Here, you will notice a 3D Printer and other essentials you can interact with.
- Apart from that, you will also see another path with a locked door that requires a Maintenance Keycard.
- Having obtained it, the device grants access to a mysterious facility infested with rushing mutants. I could dodge them by running straight into the room, and you can follow the same if you are not feeling ready to engage in combat.
- Advancing, they’ll encounter a hall with two large stairs leading to a guest area.
- Deeper into this space, players will discover dead people and the Guest Keycard on a round table, ready to be collected.
My Experience On Obtaining All Keycards
It is fascinating how developers try to engage players and make every activity unique and fun in the vast world. The same goes for this hunt for acquiring all the Keycards in Sons of Forest. As said earlier, it involves a bit of patience and diligence to keep the safe side from the menacing cannibals and mutants and collect all the required items to progress the game’s campaign.
That is about it for our guide on picking up Keycards. Did you find this guide helpful for navigating through tricky caves and facilities of the Island in the game? Share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.
