How to Get The Katana in Sons of The Forest

By
Shane Williams

Sons of The Forest is a sequel to The Forest and it was finally launched on February 24th 2023. As you may already know if you played the previous game you’ll need to create shelter to avoid the cannibals, so a stronger melee will make defending yourself a lot easier.

You’ll meet an interesting enemy in this bunker.

Where To Find The Katana in Sons of The Forest

In Sons of The Forest there are a variety of melee weapons you can use and a fair few of them can be crafted from your backpack if you have the correct resources, such as the Spear. However, the "Katana" iconKatana is one of the more popular melee weapons and unfortunately it cannot be crafted, so you’ll have to find its location out in the large open woodland.

How To Get The Maintenance Keycard

Before you make a beeline for the Katana there are a few things you’ll need to do in preparation and thats getting the "Maintenance Keycard" iconMaintenance Keycard. However, before you can do that you’ll need to complete the first three main caves in the game which are the following: Miners Cave: The "Slingshot" iconSlingshot Cave, and the Beach Cave.

These will give you access to the "Rope Gun" iconRope Gun and "Rebreather" iconRebreather which are required to traverse the Slingshot Cave where you’ll obtain the "Shovel" iconShovel. After you’ve got the above items, then you’ll want to visit the digsite (Green Circle) that’s near the Slingshot Cave. Check out our How to get the Maintenance Keycard in Sons of the Forest page for an in-depth walkthrough on how to navigate the digsite for the Keycard.

Now the location of the Katana is in a bunker which is the Green Circle that’s located to the southeast of the map. Inside, shimmy your way through then narrow path until you drop down into a hole, then go downstairs and use the Keycard to unlock the door. Proceed through the yellow door to trigger a cutscene, then go through the door at the end and take a right to find a room that contains a "Flashlight Attachment" iconFlashlight Attachment.

Exit the room and go into the next corridor, then search the second room to find a "Putter" iconPutter and "3D Printer" icon3D Printer. Take the next set of stairs down to floor 2, then search the second room on the right to find the Katana sitting on a stand next to the sofa.
