Puffton Corporation

**Puffton Corporation**, aka **Puff Corp.** or **Puffton Industries**, is a private company that owns the Site 2, the main location of Sons of the Forest. Founded and owned by Edward Puffton, hence the name, the corporation carried out many activities on the island, such as building luxury bunkers, mining a rare golden mineral and investigating the mysterious artifact.

## History

Puffton Industries was founded and owned by the multibillionaire Edward Puffton. As Edward was fascinated with mysterious ancient artifact, he used his company to find and study this relics and their properties. In some recent years, they found one of such artifacts, the Golden Cube, buried deep in the caves of a isolated island and decided to buy it to both conduct a research upon it and to mine a rare golden mineral that was plenty in the undergrounds.

### Bidding War

However, Puff Corp wasn't the only one keeping an eye on the island. Sahara Therapeutics, a pharmaceutic company, also conducted its own research on this ancient artifact and desired to buy the site and add more relics to its collection. A great bidding war started between the corporations, eventually ending with Puff Corp wining, thus securing the island, while Sahara's market value plummeted.

With the island for himself, Edward soon began exploring the Cube, trying to understand what it does and how. To cover his research, Puff Corp. started building many luxury bunkers to house rich guests, transforming the island in a resort. Many of Edward billionaires friends and colleagues, alongside his own family, would live in the island for some time.

### Radio Dead

What Edward and his company didn't discover is that the Golden Cube, the reason they were in the island in the first place, had some anomalous properties that resulted in nasty effects, like, at every 8 lunar cycles, the artifact activates and mutates every human nearby to monstrous abominations.

Leaf Armor

*This article is a stub. You can help the Sons of the Forest Wiki by expanding it.*

## Leaf Armor

Leaf Armor remains relatively the same from the first game with a single caveat. Due to the more robust stealth mechanics, leaf armor can provide a bonus to sneaking players. It is the easiest armor type to craft, but has the least amount of protection out of all types. Depending on the items the player obtains, bone armor may be more easily crafted by the player, if they can't find cloth.

ItemId: 473

## Crafting Recipe

* 1 Cloth
* 10 Leaves
Printed Sled

The **Printed Sled** is an item used as a means of transportation in *Sons of the Forest*.

## Gameplay

The Printed Sled can be used by the player to slide down slopes.

To use the Printed Sled, the player must jump or fall and use the primary use button (LMB by default) while mid-air; the character will then place the sled under himself and start sliding. From there, directional keys can be used to steer left or right. The Printed Sled can be used on any surface or terrain without any difference in performance, so long as the slope is steep enough. If the Printed Sled comes to a stop, the player will automatically disembark it.

Although very fast and practical, the Printed Sled can be quite difficult to maneuver and might be frustrating to use in densely forested areas where the player will often get bounced around the trees or become stuck. However, while sitting in the Sled, players are effectively immune to fall damages and there is no damage inflicted from collisions with obstacles, making it a decent way to rapidly travel down steep slopes or even cliffs.

The Printed Sled cannot be used to transport items and will not damage enemies or animals on its path.

The Printed Sled can be used in downstream rivers, allowing it to be improvised as a canoe. This method is rather efficient as the river's current and the lack of large obstacles will prevent players from getting stuck.

## Location

Can be fabricated at any 3D Printer for 1000ml of Resin.

Arrow

## Stone Arrows

Stone arrows are the basic and weakest arrow type in the game crafted from sticks, feathers and small rocks.

Item Id: 507

## 3D Printed Arrows

Printed arrows are the midtier arrow type within the game, sporting higher damage, velocity and range over the stone arrow. They can be made at any 3D printer for 50ml of printer resin.

Item ID: 612

## Carbon Fiber Arrows

Carbon fiber arrows are the equivalent of the modern arrow from the original game. They have increased damage, velocity and range compared to the former arrows. These arrows can be found inside containers and bunkers.

Item ID: 373

## Crossbow Bolts

Crossbow bolts are an ammunition type exclusive to the crossbow. They deal relatively high damage, have a far range and travel quickly. They can be found in containers and bunkers.

Item ID: 368
Rifle

Max. Capacity | 4

The **Rifle** is a weapon in *Sons of the Forest*.

## Gameplay

The weapon is a sleek bolt-action rifle featuring a red dot scope. Although the scope itself has no enlargement feature, the dot-style reticle along with the long firing range of the weapon will allow the player to accurately take down unsuspecting targets at a distance. It is currently the only weapon in the game with an optic attachment.

The rifle can inflict decent damage to targets, especially with a headshot, but its slow reload and low ammo capacity can make this weapon unsuitable in direct combat against enemies. It deals less damage than the Crossbow, and only marginally more damage than the Compound Bow with Carbon Fiber Arrows. Rifle ammo is also extremely rare.

The rifle currently does not accept any attachments.

## Locations

* Found by a dead operative inside the Cultist Cave, entering through the eastern entrance.
Hotfix 8

**Hotfix 8** was a hotfix released on May 12, 2023.

## Dev Notes

Hey everyone,

Here is a small hotfix for a couple of issues that came up in yesterday's patch

## Fixes

* Fixed Enemies spawning in peaceful mode in save games.
* Fixed fires not extinguishing when fuel is depleted
* Fixed issue where opening grab bag on standing fires could leave UI visible screen
Blueberries

*This article is a stub. You can help the Sons of the Forest Wiki by expanding it.*

 Used to make | N/A

**Blueberries** are harvestable plant that the player can consume for a small amount of fullness and hydration. **Blueberries** are small blue berries that grow in batches on round berry bushes with big leaves.

## Location

Blueberries are most commonly found in clusters around the western parts of the island, but can be found commonly around the entire island. When gathered, the player has a small chance to collect Blueberry seeds, which in turn be planted for even more berries. Furthermore, the player may be gifted Blueberries by Virginia if their affinity level is high enough.

## Tips for finding Blueberries

* Searching on the western part of the island increases the likelyhood of finding Blueberries as that is where it most commonly spawns.
* Due to the distinct color of the Blueberry, searching specifically for the blue color may make it easier to find.
* Like other berry bushes, the Blueberry bush grows small white flowers during Spring, which the player can keep an lookout for when searching for Blueberries.
* Like other berries, Blueberries often spawn in clusters. When finding one Blueberry bush, search the area for additional ones.
* Walking rather than running may increase the chance to spot a bush.
* Befriending and leveling up the affinity level with Virginia makes it possible for her to approach the player slowly, and drop Bluberries as a gift.
* A Standing Planter or Wall Planter may be used to grow Blueberries, once seeds have been acquired.

## Trivia

* Blueberries are based on the real life berry, *Vaccinium sect. Cyanococcus*.

Meat

Meat is a food item in sons of the forest obtained from Animals.

Raw meat can be eaten to restore small amounts of hunger. When cooked, this number significantly increases. Meat will spoil after a few in-game days. If spoilt meat is eaten, extremely little stats will be restored to the player's hunger. To avoid meat spoiling, the player can construct drying racks and hang the meat.
Circuit Board

*This article is a stub. You can help the Sons of the Forest Wiki by expanding it.*

**Circuit Boards** are a crafting material found in *Sons of the Forest*.

## Gameplay

Circuit boards are a fairly rare item, mostly found within bunkers and caves, used to craft more technical items such as the Time Bomb and the Tech Armor. Although relatively useless in earlier game, circuit boards might be more important later on where the Tech Armor and explosives are more desirable against the stronger enemies.

## Locations

* Can be found in Supply Crates
* One can be obtained by smashing a Radio.
* One can be obtained by smashing a laptop.
Caterpillar

*This article is a stub. You can help the Sons of the Forest Wiki by expanding it.*

## Caterpillar

### Also known as

Worm 2.0
Sausage Twins
John 2.0
Rattler Twins
Wormy Joe
The Slinky
Catty

### Attacks

Slam
Swing

### Attitude

Hostile

The **Caterpillar** is a mutant enemy found in **Sons of the Forest**.

## Appearance and Behavior

These mutants look similar to a long tube of flesh with a torso on either end. In the middle of the two halves, there is a single pair of defined, muscular buttocks.

They move in a acrobatic locomotion throwing one torso over the other like a conjoined front handspring. But they also crawl on the ground fast and shake like a snake, making bone-creaking noises as they do so. These mutants are also known to be extremely dangerous and hostile towards the player, leaving no mercy and instantly going for the attack when the player comes into view. Despite their awkward anatomy, Caterpillars are amongst the fastest enemies of the game, being able to relentlessly keep up with a sprinting player. Ranged weapons are strongly recommended, as it is also capable of powerful and wide-ranged attacks. The Shotgun seems to be by far the most effective weapon against Caterpillars, especially since they are large targets with predictable movement patterns. Alternatively they can be stunned with the Stun gun or Stun baton and then killed with a melee weapon as they tend to show up on their own.

It does not seem to have allegiance with either the cave-dwelling or surface-dwelling cannibals as it will unapologetically fight both groups with no regard.

These mutants also appear to have the ability to phase through structures, making it difficult to find a safe place, unless you are in a multi-story building.

## Story (Spoiler Warning)

Almost nothing is known about the story of this mutant. However, it can be seen in the banquet hall though its nameplate is missing or under it.

It is entirely possible that the mutant found dead in the dining hall is a fused version of two individuals, as each half can be seen in/on a chair, while the Twins at the other end of the table could be a single, split individual.

## Gallery

* twinsies crawling on a beach house.
* twinsies dead inside the banquet hall.
* twinsies spawning on Day 16.

## Trivia

* The name "Wormy Joe" was used by the developers in regards to their caterpillar-like movement and inchworm pose when idle.
* John 2.0 is a collective fan name that refers to the Worm or Sausage mutant from the first game, also known as John.
* When upgrading Weapons they can also appear alongside other Mutants.
Lighter

The Lighter

**The lighter** comes in the emergency survival pouch you crash with. It can be used as a light source and to light fires. Even though it is electric, the player does not need to charge it.

## Appearance

The lighter is very similar to a dual arc plasma lighter with a black, zinc, impact resistant case and emits a violet light. Nearly identical lighters are favored amongst hikers, survivalist and military personnel for their windproofing, rainpoofing, and high altitude reliability.

## Trivia

* In early gameplay videos, the lighter was a yellow plastic one, similar to the first game. It is unknown why the lighter was switched prior to early access release, but the general consensus amongst fans seems to be that it just looks cooler.
* In real life, plasma lighters do not actually give off light as portrayed in-game.
Moose

Moose are passive animals that can be found primarily on the east side of the island. Currently only male models of moose appear in the game, having large racks and dewlaps.

## Behavior and Tactics

When attacked, they will charge in an escaping path, and can knock the player to the ground if in said path. They take far more arrows and bullets to take down than a standard deer, and due to their incredible speed, it is nearly impossible to chase them down on foot.

Moose typically spawn in groups of 2-3 individuals and can be seen laying down in the same manner as deer. It is possible to sneak up on a laying moose, though a high damage melee weapon is advised should a player use one, as to avoid being trampled once the moose reacts.

Killing and skinning a moose will yield the player with 7 raw meat and 2 animal hides.
Night Vision Goggles

*This article is a stub. You can help the Sons of the Forest Wiki by expanding it.*

## Description

The night vision goggles are a newly added item found in the Cultist Cave, the large Pond entrance on the northern mountainside and the other entrance being by the large lake to the south. The goggles allow the player to see in dark places without the use of any handheld light. It is powered by Batteries, with a battery meter in the top right of the screen.

It is activated by equipping it from the inventory screen, and disabled with the lighter key (L by default).

## Location

The Night vision goggles can be found at the exit of the Cultist Cave on the south-west side of the map. When entering the cave from the exit, in the first room there is a skeleton sitting on a chair, with a pair of Night vision goggles on its head.
Hide Armor

*This article is a stub. You can help the Sons of the Forest Wiki by expanding it.*

Hide Armor is a wearable item. It is extremely versatile providing Protection, Stealth, and Warmth. This armor provided more protection than Leaf Armor, but less stealth. Although versatile, Hide Armor can be difficult to obtain because it requires players to hunt and utilize ranged weapons.

## Crafting

* 1 Cloth
* 2 Hide
Cliff

The **Cliff** is a location in **Sons of the Forest**.

Location: The west side of the snowy mountain.

Requirements: Nothing.

An operative appears caught on a rope here. Freeing the operative will allow the player to access his corpse and retrieve the Flashlight. This can be done with a chopping/cutting tool at the top of the cliff side, by repeatedly shooting the soldier with a slingshot, or with an arrow to the rope any point along the rope between the solider and the ledge.

Found on the soldier is the flashlight, along with a GPS Locator.
Solafite Cave

This cave is located to the southeast of the golf course and the Maintenance Bunker C. It is initially marked on the GPS with both the entrance and exit.

You can find the Solafite Upgrader blueprint here, the Pickaxe, and a piece of the strange artifact. You can also mine a solafite deposit to fill your inventory to the maximum of 12 ores.

Firefighter Axe

Range | Medium

The ***Firefighters Axe*** is a weapon/tool in Sons of the Forest.

    Compared to the other two axes, the ***Firefighters Axe*** is the slowest to swing, but the hardest hitting melee weapon available to compensate. Successful hits to mutants of all sizes and Armor will frequently cause the target to stagger, with power attacks (hold left click) almost always causing the target to be briefly stunned.

The ***Firefighter Axe*** is harder to get than the Modern Axe since you do need the Shovel in order to find it.

The location of this ***Firefighter Axe*** is within the Maintenance A Bunker North West of the island.

In order to obtain this ***Firefighter Axe*** you have to firstly obtain the Shovel which will allow you to dig at the dig site where Maintenance A Bunker is located, once this area is accessible, you may make your way through until you reach the ***Firefighter axe*** which is located in an emergency box situated on the wall in-between shelving next to the Generator.

Shovel

Max. Stack | 1

The shovel is located in the cave to the west of the big snowy mountain. You will need the Rebreather and the Rope Gun to traverse the Shovel Cave.

## Appearance

This tool is a metal shovel with a sharp edge. It appears to be modelled off of a **Dohiker Survival Spade**.

## Gameplay

The shovel is used to remove voxel patches of soil in small segments- though it doesn't currently provide the ability to fill holes back in. It is needed to access the Maintenance Bunker A which contains a Firefighter Axe, Tuxedo, Laser sight, 3D Printer and the Maintenance Key card, as well as to obtain the Shotgun. Much like poking the ground with a stick in the first game, digging has a chance to yield coins and small stones. Two achievements can be obtained with the shovel.

* Shovel Cave Location
Pistol Rail

The pistol rail is an add-on to the pistol. It can be used to add attachments such as the flashlight, laser sight, etc.

There are two locations where you can find the pistol rail:
One of these locations is right near the orange survival raft on the beach. You can find it in the palm of a fellow dead squadmate as well as a couple of lootable boxes, a tarp and an MRE.
Bone

*This article is a stub. You can help the Sons of the Forest Wiki by expanding it.*

**Bones** are both a weapon and crafting item in Sons of The Forest.

Often wielded by cannibals, bones are most commonly used with other items to create bone armor. While they can be found all across the island and in caves, they can also be obtained by burning cannibal bodies over a fire.

The skull lamp, bone chandelier and bone chair have made their return from the previous Endnight game, and require bones in their crafting.
Revolver

*This article is a stub. You can help the Sons of the Forest Wiki by expanding it.*

## Description

The **Revolver** is a more powerful version of the Pistol, however it can only hold six rounds before needing to be reloaded and cannot be upgraded with attachments. It uses the same 9mm Ammo as the **Pistol** and deals about 50% more damage with each shot. It can generally kill unarmored basic cannibals with a single torso shot.

## Location

The **Revolver** is found within Maintenance Bunker C, under the Golf Course Dig site. On the ground, next to a dead worker.

## Appearance

The **Revolver** is slightly larger than the Pistol and has a black body with a brown handle.

## Ammo

Uses regular 9mm handgun ammo found all over the island.

## Trivia

It is the same type of revolver used to knock out the player right after the helicopter crash.

It appears to be based on the real world Chiappa Rhino, or atleast the 60DS version of it.

## Gallery

Tarp

Storage | Inventory
Shelf
 Item code | 504

The tarp a structural item in *Sons of the Forest.*

## Gameplay

Tarps are most commonly used to create temporary shelters, simply by laying them onto the ground and propping its corners up with sticks. A single stick will suffice to make the shelter functional to sleep or save the game. Multiple tarps can be combined into a single, large tent.

Additionally, tarp can be taunt and added to log structures. Tarps can only be placed where a floor or a ramp could be built. Jumping on a taunt tarp will act as a trampoline, allowing players to bounce slightly higher.

Tarps can be used to save players from fall damages. Falling players will briefly get caught in the tarp and gently drop afterward. However, the tarp must be on an elevated structure; putting the tarp onto a log frame directly onto the ground will not work and still inflict fall damages as normal.

## Location

* Tarps can usually be found at abandoned camps or inside Cannibal villages.
* Found in Supply Crates.
* There will always be one tarp in one of the supply boxes and crates surrounding the Helicopter Crash Site at the beginning of the game.
Bites

In combination with the Firefighter Axe most trees can be taken down in 1-3 swings,

making it even faster than using the Electric Chainsaw
Regions

## Map

The origins for the regions of Sons of The Forest date back to a reddit post by Lololy showing a concept for regions of the map as they were not yet clearly defined.

Later a more polished version was submitted by the same creator with a clean and clear look to it. This map is image on the right.

## Real-world inspiration

Ultimately, it is impossible to pin the Map as representing one definitive location, as the plant and animal species found in-game are contradictory. For example, the arbutus tree is exclusively found in British Columbia and western United States, but Hydnum repandum is found in Ontario.

By cross-referencing the range of the plants, flora and fauna in game, the natural range that appears the most is south-western British Columbia. The most specific in-game clue are the Arbutus trees, which can be found throughout the map, and are only found within a few kilometres of the ocean on Vancouver Island, the Strait of Georgia, and Puget Sound. Additionally, many of the flora, such as fireweed, horsetail, devil's club, twinberry, and salmonberry, snowberries, and blackberries are British Columbia staples.

Endnight is located in Vancouver; it is very likely they took inspiration from their own surroundings.

## Region descriptions

### Mountains

Katana

*This article is a stub. You can help the Sons of the Forest Wiki by expanding it.*

 Range | Medium

A sleek, powerful and lightning fast weapon that makes up for its lack of blocking power with speed. It has both favorable and unfavorable attributes and not everyone enjoys the katana because of that. The katana in this game seems to be slightly improved over its previous version. It is much more capable of severing limbs than any other melee weapon, even before your opponent is dead.

## Location

The **Katana** can be found at the south-eastern green point of interest in the Residential Bunker. As you progress through this cave and its underlying structure, the Katana can be located on **Level 2** in the center of the **third room**, on a traditional katana holder. Key card is needed for access.

## Gameplay

It's a fierce and fast attacking weapon that can decimate even fully armoured opponents in seconds. It's generally considered the go-to melee weapon for close combat, if you can consistently dodge your opponents attacks. Strafing around opponents seems to be the best strategy as opposed to standing still. The range of which lies between that of the modern axe and spear.

## Appearance

The blade itself is similar to the Katana found in the prequel game, 'The Forest', however the handle has been changed to black.

## Summary

While the katana displays similar potency to the modern axe in terms of damage output, it outperforms the latter in attack speed. Nonetheless, the defensive attributes of this weapon cannot rival those of the modern axe. Overall, it's a great weapon to have in the players possession.

## Trivia

* Despite the katana having barely any defense on block, it is still possible to negate all damage via parrying enemies, effectively removing its only downside if you were able to do so in quick succession while fighting.
Main Character

The protagonist is an elite soldier whose mission was to locate a missing billionaire family. He has a tattoo on his right wrist which reads, "Fight Demons" and is visible when switching outfits or in the opening cutscene.

* This, along with his job as a mercenary / operative for an American company, indicates he has experience in the armed forces, or a SWAT team.
GPS

*This article is a stub. You can help the Sons of the Forest Wiki by expanding it.*

### Location

Start of game in the Emergency Pack

The GPS is a portable handheld object that can be opened by pressing M. The player can hold the GPS and use it to navigate. It is the map and can track Kelvin and the other members of the crash and more. It is obtained from the Emergency Pack.

You can find and use GPS Locators to create custom waypoints. These will show up on the tracker as the icon you choose.

You can zoom in and out by pressing the middle button on your mouse (You need to zoom in enough so you can zoom out)
Brute Cannibals

It’s the largest and most powerful of the species, these hulking male cannibals serve as the tribal leaders/chiefs. They usually don gold masks and are typically armed with large clubs, with an uncommon few seen carrying loud outboard motors. They are often seen in camps lounging on a fleshy throne made of human body parts, though they can sometimes wander alone or with other cannibals accompanying them. When spotting the player they immediately become aggressive, and will initially try to intimidate them: either by pointing their clubs at them, or picking up and tossing away a nearby cannibal that the player killed. They would then charge to attack with heavy swings or powerful kicks that can knock down the player and inflict lots of damage.
Edward Puffton

This article contains main story details or hidden plot elements for **Sons of the Forest**. Continue reading at your own risk.

**Edward Puffton** is the 63 year old founder and CEO of Puffton Industries, aka **Puff Corp**. He is a multi-billionaire with an estimated 500 billion dollar estate and a net worth of almost $800,000,000,000 or $800 billion.

## History

Edward was a connoisseur of unusual artifacts and artwork with a particular fascination with something known as the Golden Cube. Much of his life was spent as an entrepreneur and businessman until he met his late wife Barbara Puffton. At some point the two married and raised together a daughter by the name of Virginia. It is unclear if Virginia ever attended public schooling but was enrolled in private ballet classes from what appears to be a very young age.

Prior to the beginning of the game, Edward Puffton found a link to the Golden Cube and the island the game takes place on. When seeing about purchasing the island, he found himself in a bidding war between his own company, Puffton Industries, and a pharmaceuticals company called Sahara Therapeutics. It is unknown if he knew why Sahara was so set on purchasing the island, but it wasn't to be. Edward won the bidding war and began construction on the island immediately.

It appears that several years went into the construction of a massive underground resort on the island that included living quarters, offices, spas, bars, gymnasiums, dining halls, and even a night club and golf course. During the time, many socialites began staying at the unfinished resort, many even taking up temporary residence. However, seemingly unknown to the patrons, his many engineers began uncovering artifacts and minerals found in the caves below.

Edward's eventual fate was to be turned into a mutant by an artifact his own company had uncovered, as a dead mutant can be found in his place at a dining hall in one of the bunkers. Due to this, roughly eight months before the start of the game, in August of the previous year, Edward Puffton and his family failed to contact the outside world. This event triggers the protagonist's mission and starts the events of **Sons of the Forest**.

As of Patch 01, March 9th Update, Edward Puffton is now a mid-game boss along with his wife, Barbara Puffton, found in the location that his corpse previously was. Wearing a tuxedo, he has a variety of jump and swipe attacks that will knock down the player, similarly to large cannibals.
Artifact

Used to make | Crafting

## The Artifact

Not much is known about this currently, it could be one of a few things:

* The Artifact Ball from *The Forest*

* The Artifact from this note:

* Some other artifact.

It is found in The Rebreather Cave, behind a boarded area.
Going down a rope and following the cave Left will take you to a Gold Room featuring a Pedestal with this item on top of it.

Not much is known, it is an item which will always play its initial pickup animation upon being equipped and seems to emit electricity from it as a result.

It has no effect on gameplay and is piece 1/??.

Later updates will likely allow us to craft the full artifact, but for now we know there are at least 5 pieces available found in the Rebreather Cave, Pickaxe Cave, Golden Armor Cave, Zipline Cave, and the Grind Trap Cave, with more to come in future updates. A note in the Grind Trap Cave indicates there are 6 pieces in total.

The **Air Tank** is a bottle of compressed air used to refill the rebreather. It resembles a real life, aluminum, 3000psi, 20-minute air canister for light weight diving gear. They are on the small side and can be easily missed if you're moving quickly or don't know it's there.

The player can keep only 6 Air Tanks and can stored them in shelves.

## Location

Two can be found in the waterlogg cave on the north beach. Three can be found in the Shovel Cave. Additional air tanks can be found in underground bunkers across the island.
Fireweed

Fireweed is a plant in Sons of the Forest with green leaves and stems, pink flowers, and can be found in certain areas around the map. Fireweed is a consumable plant that refills a small amount of energy if eaten. This plant can be combined with Chicory and Devil's Club to make Energy Mix+, or it can be combined with Aloe Vera and Horsetail to make Health Mix+.
Luxury Bunker

Unlocked by visiting the Residential Bunker first, where its GPS location can also be obtained. This is where the Pufftons lived and from where the golden cube and the end of the story can be found. In here you can find the rescued book and an email stating that crosses burn demons. The Golden Armor is required to progress into the final area.
Barbara Puffton

**Barbara Puffton** is a major character in *Sons Of The Forest* as one of the major factors for the character to go to the island. She is the 60 years old wife to Edward Puffton and mother to Virginia Puffton. As of Patch 01 she is a mid game boss along with her husband in the Food and Dining Bunker

## History

Barbara was married to Edward Puffton, the multi-billionaire founder and CEO of Puffton Corp., and had a daughter with him, Virginia Puffton. She was a socialite and possibly spent a lot of time on the island of Site 2, where her husband's company built dozens of luxury bunkers. For some unknown reason, Edward left her out of his will and decided to pass his entire fortune on to Virginia.

### The Cube Activation

About seven months before the events of SOTF, Barbara was in the island together with her husband, daughter and other rich guests when the Golden Cube, a powerful ancient artifact located beneath the surface, activated and mutated every living human in the island, including Barbara. She lurked within the Food and Dining Bunker with her mutated husband until they were found by the protagonist, who killed both.

## Trivia

* Until Patch 01, the fate of Barbara was unknown as, unlike her late husband, her mutated body wasn't found in the Food and Dining Bunker with the other guests. After the Patch, it's revealed that she was also mutated and stayed in the hall alongside the (now alive) mutated Edward.
* The introduction cutscene reveals some data about her, such as:
	+ **Age:** 60 years old
	+ **Occupation:** Socialite
	+ **Height:** 160 cm
	+ **Eye color:** Brown
	+ **Weight:** 68 kg
Sluggy (The Blob)

Sluggy is an enemy in Sons of the Forest of great size with distorted features. As a creepy mutant, it appears in multiple caves, and in a cutscene towards the end of the main story.

## Sluggy

### Also known as

The Blob
Blobs

## Appearance

Sluggy is a large, mutated mass of flesh with many flailing arms and legs. Many rolls of fatty tissue hang off of its back side and drag behind it as it pushes itself along the floor with its limbs, giving it a slug-like appearance. Many rolls of flesh hang from a head-like location on its body giving it the illusion of a mouth. The creature is much too large to fit through small gaps in caves, and the player can often find it stuck in place.

## Behavior and Locations

In Sons of the Forest, a sluggy can be seen passing through unreachable areas in caves and tunnels prior to first encountering one. Other times, the sluggy can be found wedged in cracks blocking further progression through a cave or barring a shortcut route back to the exit when leaving a cave. When encountering these wedged sluggies, you can easily blow them apart with any explosive. If player comes near cave version of Sluggy, it will attack.

Sluggies DO NOT currently spawn in the game as enemy entities and therefore are not hostile in any way. In very rare instances, Sluggies can show affection towards the player by performing a slow dance.

The sluggy that appears in the bunker cutscene towards the end of the story is found dead and blocking the return path when the protagonist awakens. Though it appears with Mutant Babies in this cutscene, it does not appear with them at any other point in the game nor does it have any ability to spawn them.

You can gain an achievement called "Piñata" for blowing up a sluggy or being within range of another player blowing up a sluggy.

## Trivia

* The Blob is a carryover nickname from The Forest. This enemy is only ever referred to as "Sluggy" or "Sluggies" in achievements and game files.
* A large blob can be located in the Sahara Therapeutics Laboratory in the first game, within Observation Room H. It is entirely possible that the sluggies were meant to resemble this blob or are related to it in some way.
* It may not be out of the question that one of his hands was reaching for the dead soldier in the first trailer.
Buckshot Ammo

Buckshot Shotgun Shells are one of the two types of ammunition for the Shotgun and can be identified by the Red Shell indicated on their ammo box.
Buckshot shoots multiple pellets, dealing high damage at close range, killing most Cannibals with one shot.
The pellets gradually spread allowing for damage to multiple targets at medium ranges, but the damage reduces severely.
Guitar

The Guitar is a melee weapon found in Sons of the Forest. It is located in the same underground facility as the Electric Chainsaw, and more than likely, the player would have obtained the Modern Axe, making the Guitar an inferior melee weapon overall. Its in-game model resembles a cross between a *Fender* telecaster and stratocaster with a sunburst body, and faint electric guitar string sounds can be heard when striking enemies. Pressing the alternative mouse button will cause the player to play an instrumental version of one of the game original soundtracks.

## Location

Found in the bunker with a cave entrance on the west side of the island, it needs at least a maintenance keycard to reach. The player must turn left at the room where the 3D printer is located and continue into an illuminated hallway where a keycard locked set of double doors is located. Beyond these doors are a gym, spa, and eventually the bar and night club. The guitar is well past the Track Suit.

The guitar can be found lying on a bar counter not far from the blocked off night club entrance. Another, differently modeled guitar can be seen in the same room, shoved down the throat of a dead man, but this guitar is unobtainable. When player equips the guitar for the first time, they play a short riff before flipping it around to hold by the neck.

## Songs

Pressing the alternative mouse button will cause the player to play a guitar version of one of these soundtracks

## Bugs

* As of hotfix 3, the Guitar may fail to spawn for some players.
	+ Sometimes running through the location again after a while may fix this.
Mask

*This article is a stub. You can help the Sons of the Forest Wiki by expanding it.*

**Masks** are utility items, with the general purpose of convincing cannibals not to attack you. There are two known types of masks in the game, Red and Golden.

Brute cannibals can be seen wearing golden masks, which seems to identify them as the leader of the other cannibals.

## Gameplay

**Red Masks** must be printed using the 3D Printer, which requires resin, in order to be obtained. If cannibals already know you from your violence against them, and subsequently hate your presence, the Red Mask may not work on them. Pulling it out and using it doesn't make an aggressive cannibal suddenly passive. The player must deaggro the cannibal first and then approach them with the mask drawn. Golden Masked enemies do not respond to Red Masks, and they will regard you with the normal hostility.

In order to obtain a **Golden Mask** however, you can do so by entering Level 5, in the underground bunker, at the south-eastern point of interest on the GPS. It is laying over the face of the middle cadaver in the morgue. A demon guards the morgue, and can be seen moving about the corridor, the room prior to the corridor, or in the morgue itself.

* South-Eastern Point of Interest
* Golden Mask found on a bagged cadaver in the morgue.

The Golden Mask has a greater effect than the Red Mask and even works on masked enemies- provided they don't already hate your guts.

## Trivia

* In the previous Endnight game, The Forest, red paint functioned similar to how the Red Mask does in Sons of the Forest, with the caveat that cannibals won't become suddenly placid when putting it on.
* It is currently unknown if the Golden Masks were crafted by the cannibals that wear them or if they were on the island prior to the cannibals living here amongst other golden artifacts.
Maintenance Bunker C

Located in the golf course area. You need the Shovel to access this bunker. The Revolver and other supplies can be found here. There are no hostiles here. Unlike the other two Maintenance Bunkers, Bunker C is still under construction and lacks any furnishings.

The GPS location for this bunker can be found through Maintenance Bunker B.

Machete

Range | Short

The machete is a light weapon with moderate damage and some capability of blocking. Due to the low stamina drain for the damage output and the ability to stagger opponents combined with its speed, it can sometimes be more useful than the Katana against single opponents, especially Fingers. However, it lacks the limb severing abilities that makes the katana a great melee weapon for crowds.

It can be found stabbed into the side of a disabled inflatable boat on the northern coastline, right next to where the shotgun rail can be found.

* Machete Location
* Machete which is found in one of the disabled inflatable boat
Shotgun Rail

The shotgun rail is used to add attachments to the shotgun. Items include the flashlight, sights, etc. The rail used to also have shell loops to store shotgun shells for faster reload, but it was replaced with another rail, allowing attachments to mount on the side, so it does not obstruct sights view. It can be found in the computer room in the Entertainment Bunker.
Cultist Cave

The **Cultist Cave**, **Cave D7**, is one of the several caves systems found under the island. This cave is by far the largest in the game, crossing through the central mountain range of the island with its network of long tunnels, deep shafts and vast rooms filled with all kinds of mutant dwellers, making its exploration a long and perilous venture.

## Layout

The Cultist Cave features two entrances, each located on the eastern and western flanks of the mountain, and an exit located south of the western entrance. Each entrance feature their own paths, converging to a main section acessible through slides, forcing players to move forward to exit the cave. Both paths require the Rebreather to traverse.

The main section of the cave is located deep below ground. This vast system features surreal, gigantic structures made of the strange ebony-golden mineral seen on the walls of other caves. As the player progresses, they will arrive into a large room inhabited by a large group of Demons. In the same room, a golden spaceship being repeatedly struck by lightning can be discovered. Going to the pilot seat can be found with a skeleton donning the golden armor.

From there, the player may exit the cave by climbing up a towering shaft and yet taking another slide, which prevents players from accessing the main section by entering through the exit. On the way out, the player will encounter a new enemy: the Blue Puffy.

## Notable loot

* **Night vision goggles** - Immediately after the western slide, turning right at the intersection, on the soldier hanging from the wall.
* **Golden Armor** - Worn by a skeleton on the pilot seat of the spaceship at the end of the main section.
* **Rifle** - Found by a dead operative while entering thru the eastern entrance.
* Artifact piece - Found after ascending from the Spaceship Room.

Putter

The **putter** is a special weapon, that can be used in unison with golf balls, to play golf anywhere you choose. You can also use it as a weapon, however its stats are lackluster. If the player looks at the ground before swinging, they will swing the putter in a putting arc instead of a weapon swing.

## Location

There are many locations a putter can be found. One of them can be found in a bunker lounge at the south-eastern cave. Other items such as the Katana, and Golden Armor are found here.

Two putters can be found on the golf course on the north-east side of the island: one laying next to a golf cart and another in a sand trap.

## Trivia

* As you play through Sons of the Forest, there are several emails dotted throughout the world that you can interact with. They mention the creation of a golf course. The joke is that, despite the best efforts of company employees, no one can find golf balls.
* Golf could reasonably played on the golf course with a putter and golf ball, but there is currently no way to vary the swings.
Shovel Cave

This cave is located somewhat centrally on the island but on the north-west side of the mountain. Outside of the cave, three operatives can be found impaled, with the middle one having a slingshot on his belt. The rope gun is required to explore beyond the entrance of the cave, and the rebreather is required to reach the shovel.

It is possible to get past the rope gun requirement at the entrance of the cave by jumping onto the small ledge on the right side of the gap (facing away from the entrance), and then jumping and building an upright stick in the main cave area.

This cave contains blind mutants, Fingers, Twins, and Mutant Babies.

```
After surfacing from the first dive search by the right wall and you will find the Wetsuit.
The pistol flashlight can be found near dead operatives in a large room that contains several twins and fingers.

```

The shovel can be spotted laid across the lap of a dead maintenance worker at the very end of this cave. A large, inaccessible area is here that shows the side of the Holosprings resort and luxury bunkers.

Taking the pathway back towards the entrance, a wall will break apart, revealing a Sluggy that can be blown up to access an alternate exit. It is difficult to miss as it's noted by a large crashing sound and many physical rocks will be thrown into the player's path.
