Want to discover the secrets of the island in Sons of the Forest? You’re going to need a key item that’s seemingly simple — the Shovel. The basic Shovel is one of the hardest items to get in the game and can only be found by delving into multiple terrifying caves packed with nightmarish creatures. To get the Shovel, you’ll also need to find the Rebreather and Rope Gun, traversal items that allow you to climb high ledges or swim deep into underwater passages.
