How to make Virginia your companion in Sons of the Forest
Fans were quite intrigued when Endnight Games revealed the companion system for Sons of the Forest. Improving upon the original The Forest Game, these AI sidekicks could be recruited to help you survive the horrors of this isolated island wilderness. While the human companion Kelvin has been shown in a lot of footage prior to release, the three-legged, three-armed mutant Virginia was left a mystery. Players will randomly stumble upon her in the game, and many are probably wondering if this odd woman is friend or foe.

Encountering Virginia in Sons of the ForestVirginia is an NPC that you will encounter as you progress through the game. She is likely one of the people you have been sent here to find as she appears in the log during the helicopter ride. She has started to mutate, but seemingly has been able to keep her humanity in the process.
The first thing you need to know is that you should not attack her in any way. If you murder her, you will never be able to recruit Virginia as an ally and she will stay dead the entire playthrough. Virginia prefers warmer environments so you are more likely to encounter her on the beach or away from the colder parts of the island. She will not attack you, but is very skittish at first and will run away if you approach her.
The key to getting Virginia as a companion is to simply be friendly towards her and not push her boundaries. Overtime, her curiosity will get the better of her and she will start visiting you. Most players report that it takes around the seventh day for her to officially become a companion.
