Being able to see in caves in Sons of the Forest is crucial for your survival.

The lighter you start with can be helpful in the beginning, but the flashlight provides far more light.

In this survival guide, we’ll show where to find the flashlight and how to use it in Sons of the Forest.

Flashlight Location in Sons of the Forest

To find the flashlight, you’re going to need to head to one of the purple exclamation points on your GPS.

This makes finding the flashlight pretty easy, but only if you know what purple exclamation point to go to.

You’ll need to head to the one in the central portion of the map near the snowy mountains.

There are a few ways you can get to this area.

The first is to head north of the cave that’s in the central part of the map.

The other main way is to follow the river from the Rebreather Cave.

If you head south of the river, it will lead you almost directly to the flashlight.

You’ll need to head up some cliffs from the river to reach the flashlight.

How To Get the Flashlight in Sons of the Forest

Once you reach the purple marker, you’re going to discover that the flashlight is on a hung man.

To grab it, you’ll need to make your way to the top of the cliff.

You’ll find a rock with a rope secured around it.

Use your axe or knife to cut the rope.

The body will drop to the ground below.

Head back down and you’ll find a GPS tracker on the body.

Just a bit to the left of the body, you’ll find the flashlight on the ground.

How To Use the Flashlight in Sons of the Forest

Once you’ve equipped the flashlight, you’ll notice that it runs on batteries.

It’s time to start collecting every battery you can find.

The flashlight tends to go through them quickly, so you’ll want to bring a few with you when you delve in caves.

You can also attach the flashlight to some weapons as long as you have that weapon’s rail.

This allows you to free up a hand to use the weapon and have better accuracy when fighting in the dark.
