Sons of the Forest is an amazing survival game where you get to start from scratch and work your way up to becoming the greatest survivors out there. In this game, you can explore the forest and obtain various different tools that have been forgotten or stranded by different survivors who didn’t make it.
It’s up to you to find these tools and make sure that things will go smooth for you.
In this guide, we will show you how you can locate the Shovel in Sons of the Forest.
Shovel Location
To start off your adventure, you will need two important items. These items are:
- Zip Gun
- Rebreather
Once you’ve obtained these two items, you will need to head over to a cave in which you need to explore as well as go underwater.
To get to the cave, you need to make your way south from the snow mountains.

Once you are at the marked area on the map, you will see three characters faced towards the entrance of the cave. Go inside there to begin your scavenger hunt.
As you make your way down into the cave, you will see a zip line which you need to take. Here use the zip gun and make your way towards the other side.

Whenever you reach the other side of the cave, you need to jump into the water and use your re-breather to go down in the depths until you’ve seen another tight passage.
Be careful as there are monsters here which you will need to defeat.
From this point on, you will need to follow a path until you reach a big open room. Be well prepared as this big room is filled with a ton of giant mobs.
Clear all the mobs and jump into the water once again. Follow the available path here until you’ve reached the end of the path in which you will see a bunch of lights and a killed miner that has a shovel in his hands.

And just like that, you’ve obtained the shovel in Sons of the Forest.
