All Sons of the Forest companions & how to find them

Sons of the Forest plunges players into a gripping survival adventure on a mysterious island teeming with mutants, cannibals, and enigmatic allies. Companions play a vital role in navigating the dangers of the island and completing various tasks and here’s how you can find them.

Sons of the Forest is the sequel to the critically acclaimed survival horror game The Forest released in 2014. The game was well-received by fans with overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam.

While The Sons of the Forest makes many improvements to the original game, it also takes a lot of cues from its predecessor. Sons of the Forest plunges players back to another cannibal-infested island similar to that of The Forest where survival is key.

The game provides you with companions as well that will help you in your journey. However it is important to remember that companions can die if they sustain enough damage from enemies or the player and cannot be revived. That being said, here is all you need to know on how to find them.
