All endings in Sons of the Forest, although they differ among themselves in some subtleties, they reveal one intricate story. The history of Sons Of The Forest and its predecessor can only be understood by collecting notes, letters and reports: by collecting the necessary data, it will be possible to get answers to some of the questions.
In this guide, we'll show you how to get all the Sons Of The Forest endings and explain the game's plot and ending.
How many endings are there in Sons Of The Forest
Formally there are three endings Sons Of The Forest, which are conventionally divided into good, bad and alternative, some of them have small branches. Achievements are given for the main three endings.
How to get all endings in Sons Of The Forest
The plot and endings in Sons Of The Forest are not entirely related to the gameplay. Regardless of which ending you want to go to, you will need to collect a number of important plot items and visit the necessary locations. The way to a certain ending depends on the decision in the last scene and the state of the companions: Kelvin и Virginia.
To get to the final scene of the game, where the protagonist makes the last decision, you need to take turns collecting important items that open access to story locations and cut scenes:
- Find in caves rope thrower and scuba gear.
- Find in another cave shovelusing the previous items.
- Use a shovel to get into the underground bunker and find staff key card.
- To find VIP card in a bunker in another cave.
- Having all the right cards, get to golden armorlocated in a new cave.
When all three cards are in hand, as well as the golden armor, which is the key, you can head to the main underground bunker. Putting your hand on the gilded door, you will pass by many demons and get into the golden room.
Companions will also be in this room, if everything is in order with them. A small cut-scene will play, which will partially explain everything that happens on the island. Immediately after her, the hero and his companion Timmy will be transferred to the beach, where an evacuation helicopter lands. At this stage, a decision needs to be made.
Keep in mind that the ending depends not only on the decision made in the last dialogue, but also on the state of Virginia and Calvin, as well as on the relationship with the girl.
Good
A good ending suggests rescue the main character and all his companions. She will also unlock the achievement "Keep your friends close" To get this ending you must:
- save a life Kelvin.
- save a life Virginia и make friends with her.
- agree board an evacuation helicopter.
If his companions enter the golden room along with the operative, this means that you are approaching a good ending. It is necessary to evacuate five of us: the hero, Calvin, Virginia, as well as Timmy and his father. If suddenly one of the companions died, his can be resurrected by manipulating files, or by using cheats.
Bad
To get the second ending, the following conditions must be met:
- Virginia died or did not make friends with the operative.
- Kelvin died (optional).
- Agree to evacuate.
A bad ending implies a situation in which the hero fails to evacuate with his comrades. In a bad ending, Virginia either dies or remains cold to the hero, which is why she refuses to fly away by helicopter.
Worst version of this ending consists in the death of both companions. In this case, the hero will fly away by helicopter alone, leaving the bodies of his comrades on the island. When evacuating from the island in an "incomplete" composition, you will be able to open the achievement "Fought with demons».
Alternative ending
In an alternative outcome of events, the main character decides to stay on the island and take the artifact. In this ending, the helicopter flies away. Calvin and Virginia, having survived, will not board the helicopter.
When you select an artifact, a new cave opens, in which the last, 6th particle of it is hidden. The particle's location will be marked by a swarm of rays shining from the ground. After collecting all 6 particles, craft the artifact and charge it with solaphite. The functions of the item are as follows:
- Transforms any building surface into solafite.
- Creates teleportation points that you can instantly return to.
- Allows you to build totems that drive away all hostile creatures.
In any case, if you stay on the island, you will receive the trophy "Fighting demons" Although the artifact has story value, no new information will be obtained about it. The point of the ending is to provide the player with a reason for an endless game mode after the end of the story.
Ending explanation
The meaning of the Sons Of The Forest ending doesn't change that much depending on which ending the player gets. The concept remains the same, only the consequences of the decision become different.
The Puffton family, which includes the companion of the protagonist - Virginia, bought a huge island for entertainment and recreation. After a long silence from the wealthy family, a company owned by Edward Puffton hires operatives who go to the island to find the entire family.
Two detachments fly to the island, among which there is also the main character. Unknown shoot down a helicopter, but how exactly he was shot down remains a question. In slow motion, it is clear that a certain body resembling a mutant has flown into the aircraft.
The first thing the operative sees is a man nicknamed Silver Jacket (real name is Jianyou). Two surviving militants - the main character and Kelvin - set themselves the goal of getting off the island and finding the Paffton family. During the study it turns out that these lands were previously other groups have already been sentbut none of them returned.
Soon the hero will meet mutated Virginia Puffton. In the process of getting acquainted with one of the underground complexes, it will be possible to find a record from surveillance cameras, which show the mutation of the rich in the banquet hall. Among the mutants in the future will be her parents, who, unfortunately, died.
Among the many notes, the operative will be able to find information about a new metal that was found underground. This piece of the puzzle provides additional insight into the reasons for buying this island. One of the letters says that this fossil is “what we are looking for.” Other articles deal with artifacts.
Soon, visiting one of the bunkers, the protagonist will stumble upon a mutant fighting with Timmy - the son of the protagonist of the first part. At the end of the cut-scene, men are helped Eric LeBlanc - protagonist of The Forest.
Father and son are closely connected with the mutants and what is happening on the islands. Later in the room comes Jianyu accompanied by armed mercenaries. Eric recognizes an employee of Puffton, who is possibly connected either with the events of the first part, or with parallel worlds.
Timmy himself, brought back to life, wrote a book about parallel universes. This phenomenon likely plays a central role in the meaning of the artifacts from parts one and two. Silver Jacket may be an alien from another universe. This version is explained by his attempts to penetrate the golden cube.
Among the reports of "Sahara" and the Puffton Corporation can be found information about artifacts from the first island, the workers assumed that they were connected with the same cube from the Sons of the Forest.
From all the letters, two conclusions can be drawn: Puff Corporation and Sahara had a common conflict with objects 1 and 2, the Puff corporation bought these lands in order to protect the cube from the Sahara and access unlimited exploration artifact.
The notes that can be found in the same bunker talk about the ability of the cube to transfer the people in it to another dimension for a short period of time. In another letter there is an excerpt from the text "It's safe in the cube».
In the last shelter in the story, you will be able to find Virginia's room, as well as many paintings, the plots of which are based precisely on the worship of the cube. During the study, the protagonist enters a cave and finds golden door. Having opened it, the hero will face many demons who are afraid of the cross. Another clue hinting at the connection between what is happening on the island and the worship of the cube is a note with crosses and the inscription “stay in the cube».
Entering the same cube, you will be able to see the countdown, signaling the onset of the next inclusion of the artifact. The function of this artifact is transporting people inside to another dimension. It was for this reason that Silver Jacket tried to get inside, but did not have time.
When the side through which the men entered opens, they will be able to see Jianyou's former body - now instead of it there is only a mass of flesh. From here it becomes clear what exactly the activation of the artifact caused a disaster on the island. It was 8 lunar cycles ago that the Puffton family disappeared, at that moment there was a previous phase of the cube.
At the end, the protagonist is faced with a choice: fly away from the island with the LeBlancs and his companions, or stay and continue the battle with the cube and the demons that inhabit this place, like Eric did.
Timmy's ending
In his final scene, Timmy asks the doctor to cure his illness and provides him with a piece of solafite ore. The doctor, who had previously seen no cure options, changes abruptly and asks where Timmy got the solafit. The scene cuts away, but suggests that the ore is the key to getting rid of the mutation.
The credits clearly state that Timmy LeBlanc has developed a miracle cure based on solafit, opened a charity to cure diseases with solafit, continues scientific research on this material, and opens his own and the most popular pharmaceutical company in the world. It is assumed that he overcame his own mutation and is now using his developments to help others. Timmy also buys a recently discovered island full of solafite deposits, but suddenly disappears on it. Communication with the island he bought also disappears.
Kelvin ending
At the end, the main character visits Kelvin in the traumatic brain injury department. The guy assembles a house from a construction set in the common room, but, accidentally turning his knee, breaks part of the erected structure. The hero picks up several figurines to help the poor guy repair the building.
If Virginia remains alive, Calvin will appear in the scene with her and will be sitting in the back seat of the car. The game hints, but does not explicitly state, that the protagonist decides to take Kelvin under his wing at the end of the game.
Virginia ending
If Virginia makes it off the island, she will undergo surgery to remove the mutation: in a short scene, doctors take her on a gurney to the operating room.
In the next scene, 5 months later, Virginia is already without her 3rd leg and pregnant. Together she, the main character and Kelvin in the back seat are driving a car along an unremarkable highway. Together they look like a family.
Artifact ending
The hero remaining on the island can collect an artifact from 6 parts, charge it with solaphyte and continue to survive indefinitely. This version of the development of events does not carry any plot meaning.
Will there be a sequel to Sons Of The Forest
Sons Of The Forest largely continues the history of Sahara's exploration of artifacts located on the islands. The characters also migrated to the sequel: Eric and Timmy, and also, possibly, Megan. The second part told the short but eventful story of an operative - a “fighter against demons.” The mysteries of the artifacts are still not solved, and a number of questions have not been answered, however, Timmy’s story arc clearly establishes the upcoming sequel to the game, as hinted at in the headlines of magazines and newspapers in the credits of Sons Of The Forest.
Having cured his own mutation with the help of a medicine invented on the basis of solafit, Timmy becomes a star of science and pharmaceuticals, makes breakthrough discoveries in the field of research of solafit and medicines based on it, and also buys a recently found island full of deposits of this mineral. After the purchase, he disappears without a trace, and all contact with the island is lost. The credits make it clear the plot of the next part of the game: most likely in the sequel, players will go to the island bought by Timmy to find him.
