Sons of the Forest: How To Craft Bone Armor & Collect Infinite Bones | Early Armor Guide

Armor is surprisingly important in Sons of the Forest. If you’re planning to delve into the creepy caves dotting this new island, you’ll want to stock up on a shell of armor. Each piece of armor essentially gives you a free hit — armor breaks off when you’re attacked, but completely protects you from damage. Early in the game, enemies can down you in two or three hits. If you’re outnumbered and lacking any powerful weapons, the caves can be a true nightmare for solo players. Give yourself a little extra life insurance with armor.

There are multiple types of armor — starting with the weakest. Leaf armor barely protects you against anything, and instantly shatters when attacks. You can also collect ‘flesh’ from defeated mutants, covering yourself in their slimy gunk. But there’s a better way to protect yourself with dead cannibals. Instead of harvesting the skin, try harvesting the bones for a much more robust set of armor. Finding bones in the early game and even the late game can be difficult. Caves are full of bones, but everywhere else? Completely lacking in the bone department. If you’re looking for bones, it’s actually a lot easier than you might think. If you’ve got a campfire, you can supply yourself with infinite bones.
