Guide to The Forest's Part 19: Explore the Submerged Cave, find the Rebreather, Torch, Crossbow, and more. Includes cave entrances and item locations.
Walkthrough
- 1Begin by swimming to the beach north-west of the Yacht for supplies, including batteries for the Torch. Follow the beach south for more cases.
- 2On the hill above this curved beach, find CACHE 2 containing clothes.
- 3Locate the anchor symbol on the map by the shore. Nearby is a blue tent for resting and saving, with an Old Pot in front.
- 4South of the tent, find a shipwreck out on the water near a small island. Save your game before approaching due to sharks.
- 5Check the submerged section of the shipwreck, marked by a floating log, to find a Rebreather hole. Down here, you'll find the CROSSBOW, bolts, and the CHURCH PAGE (1/4).
- 6From the blue tent, head east into the woods to a medium-sized pond. Turn north-west to find the Submerged Cave's Entrance 1 (SE) by a pile of boulders.
- 7OBJECTIVE: EXPLORE SUBMERGED CAVE
- 8Entrances:
- Entrance 1 (SE): North-east of the anchor symbol, on the south-west coast.
- 9Entrance 2 (SW): West and slightly north of Entrance 1 (SE), another pile of boulders. Can be found by exiting the cave via its rope.
- 10Entrance 3 (N): Underwater in the geese pond, requires a Rebreather.
- 11Notable Items: 'Beneath The Limestone' Book, Bibles (2), Old Photo 3, Rebreather, Rusty Axe, Timmy's Toy (1), Torch, Virginia Photograph.
- 12Preparation: If entering via Entrance 3 (N), equip the Rebreather and an air canister. Otherwise, the Rebreather is found within the cave. There is one save point inside.
- 13Entering via Entrance 1 (SE), proceed down a tunnel north-west. Near some rocks at the bottom of a hill, a dangling rope leads up to Entrance 2 (SW). A Skull Lamp can help pinpoint this.
- 14Exiting via Entrance 2 (SW) and heading east leads to a valley with a small pool, then further east to another pool at a cliff base with a waterfall. Here, find cases with supplies, clothes, and two more cases underwater.
- 15East of Entrance 2 (SW), south of a small pool, find two sleeping bags with an Old Pot in the campfire between them.
- 16The first part of the cave contains supplies like Hairspray, another piece of TIMMY'S TOY, and Passenger tags (4A, 7A, 7B, 8C (13/43)), along with cash and watches.
- 17At the north end, a wall of planks with crucifixes hides another cave. Bash the planks to enter. Find cloth, two hanging skulls, and in the back, a TORCH, batteries, flares, and clothes.
- 18The Torch is a useful item that can be combined with certain two-handed weapons (Chainsaw, Flintlock Pistol, Bows) for simultaneous use. It respawns and can be upgraded.
- 19The other hanging skull is over a rope leading down. After another rope, you'll be in a watery cave containing the REBREATHER and two air canisters.
- 20The Rebreather is essential for flooded caves. Equip it and click an air canister to refill. It has an infinite fuel torch that activates underwater.
- 21Jump into the water.
Tips
- The Torch is very useful early on, especially when combined with weapons like the Bows for combat or hunting.
- Torches respawn, so you can afford to use one for upgrades and find another.
- When attaching a Torch to a weapon, it's consumed and cannot have its batteries recharged directly. Disassemble the weapon to retrieve it.
- The Rebreather is crucial for navigating many flooded caves. Ensure you have enough air before diving.
