Sons of Forest All Keycards

As said above, numerous locations are locked behind a Keycard, demanding players to increase their exploration strategies and gain access to uncover the secrets behind the mysterious activities in the forest. For that instance, players must get on all the Keycards in the game to pave the way for a smooth playthrough. 

Let’s look at all the Keycards you need to obtain in Sons of Forest in their respective order. 

Maintenance Keycard

The first keycard that you will need is Maintenance Keycard. Since it requires access to one of the earliest locations, you must obtain the Maintenance Keycard as soon as possible to progress your game playthrough. 

It is worth noting that finding the Keycard requires patience and trouble to go across the map. The world of Sons of Forest is extremely volatile, with cannibals lurking everywhere. For that instance, you must be watchful of your surroundings during your hunt for a Maintenance Keycard. 

As for the location, players must head down to one of the green-encircled areas on the map. To make things easier, you must check the northeastern part of the map. You will search for a location marked by a shovel just near the beautiful lake surrounded by lush trees. 

Now comes the critical part, where you will need a shovel to dig the location and find a hatch to gain access to the cave entrance. As for the shovel, you can refer to our extensive guide detailing how to get a shovel in Sons of Forest. 

Once you have the shovel, all you need to do is to start digging the ground until it reveals the hatch. You can interact with the metal hatch to open it and gain access to the mysterious cave. 

The cave has a ladder to get down and a straight path leading you to a Maintenance room. Follow this path until you find the Maintenance room and the required Keycard item. Once you have the Maintenance Keycard, you can use it to unlock your path of cave or doors anywhere on the map and easily progress your playthrough. 

VIP Keycard

The next most sought Keycard by players is known as the VIP Keycard. As the name implies, this Keycard will give you access to more locations while uncovering the secrets of the Sons of Forest. But first, players must get their hands on VIP Keycard by once again visiting the animated green encircled locations marked on the map. 

However, to make things easier for you, you can easily follow the location all the way to the northwestern part of the map in the image below. Unlike the Maintenance Keycard, where you had to dig a metal hatch, you will be searching for an opened hatch in a dark cave for this particular Keycard. Ensure you come with a good torch for easier navigation in the cave. 

The secret cave leads you to an already-opened hatch that again leads you to a remote location. You might also want to use your earlier acquired Maintenence Keycard to unlock the door and reach other sections of the location. Here, you must get across all the rooms and laboratories until you reach the flooded rooms in the secret cave site. 

Your objective is to reach the security room by following the path. Getting across the rooms while submerging in water might feel a little troublesome. But in the end, it is all worth the trouble once you obtain your VIP Keycard. 

Once in the security room, you must search for a VIP Keycard on the desk. Ensure to pick it up; you must use this Keycard on your way out of the location. 

Guest Keycard

Last but not least is the Guest Keycard which requires special attention. Many players overlook and never pay attention to the third Keycard in Sons of Forest. But it is worth noting that Guest Keycard is essential to progress the game. 

As for the location, players must visit the cave entrance leading to a purple room once again. Here you will notice a 3D Printer and other essentials you can interact with. Apart from that, you will also see another path with a locked door that requires Maintenance Keycard. 

Since you have already obtained it, using it will grant you access to a mysterious facility. Beware and keep the weapons hot, as this facility crawls with mutants that can rush attack your character. However, if you follow the straight path, you can steer clear of these mutants without engaging with them in combat. 

Going straight, players will find a hall with two large stairs. On top is another arena that is seemingly the guest area. However, a little further into this guest area, you can find some dead people along with the Guest Keycard on a round table, available to pick up for yourself. 

Final Words

It is fascinating how developers try to engage players and make every activity unique and fun in the vast world. The same goes for this hunt for acquiring all the Keycards in Sons of Forest. As said earlier, it involves a bit of patience and diligence to keep the safe side from the menacing cannibals and mutants and collect all the required items to progress the game’s campaign.
