There was a new cave system added to Son of the Forest as part of Patch 2 released on March 24, 2023.
Although the cave system is new, it is actually in a cave that was already available in Sons of the Forest, it has just been expanded to a huge area to explore, which now contains the golden armor, among other things resources.
We have the new cave location for Sons of the Forest patch 2 below, so you can get more resources and items.
Sons of the Forest new cave location in patch 2
The new cave is located in the southwestern area of the map, under the snowy mountain, by a large lake
The entrance to the cave is in the lake itself, under the mountain. You’ll know it’s the right one when you see two corpses dressed in white outside. There’s a book next to these bodies that you might want to pick up to check out other potential Sons of the Forest lore.
Before you begin your journey to the new cave system added in Patch 2, make sure you have the rebreather and plenty of food, water, and ammo for your best weapons.
The new cave layout is much larger than it was before, with underwater sections and plenty of tough enemies to fight your way through.
It should also be kept in mind that there are several ropes that you need to go down or up to explore the cave. So if you ever find yourself lost in one of its many caverns, look for a rope hanging from the edge of a waterfall.
Survive longer on the island with our pages on the shovel, every weapon, keycard, armor, glider and ax location, how to get the rope gun and rope, binoculars and where to find water. Don’t forget to learn how to build and craft!
Inside the cave, we encountered many boxes and containers with useful supplies such as rope, energy drinks, duct tape, and batteries.
Perhaps the biggest appeal of this new cave system is that it now contains the Golden Armor, which you need to complete the end of the available story content. This golden armor was previously located in a bunker on the southeast side of the island, which you still need to visit to get the golden mask.
For more help navigating the island, we have pages on weapon locations, hang glider locations, where to find the shovel, and a building and crafting explainer.
