Quite a few weapons are available in Sons of the Forest, some more unique than others. For example, players can pick up an electric guitar and use it as a rather powerful melee weapon that also looks cool.
The island is not all that it seems after first crashing on it. While there is much to explore above ground, expansive underground rooms and bunkers hold many collectibles, including the guitar. However, players must get a few essential items to access certain underground areas. So, here's the exact location of the guitar and everything needed to find it in Sons of the Forest.
Preparing to Get the Guitar
The guitar is locked behind multiple access points. Before players do anything with the musical weapon, they will need to gather the following items:
- Rebreather
- Rope Gun
- Shovel
- Maintenance Keycard
Since the rebreather has the smallest cave to explore out of all three, and if players spawn at the beach, they can grab the rebreather almost immediately unless they want to go after the flashlight for better visibility first. Next, players will have to get the rope gun before getting the shovel.
The rope gun and shovel caves are more extensive, with more mutants inside of them. They might call for a more heavy-duty weapon like the pistol to get through them in one piece.
Find the Maintenance Keycard
Once players have the shovel, they can look for the Maintenance keycard. Go to the pulsating green circle to the northwest, directly north of one of the purple GPS locators marked on the map. There will be a digsite and two broken-down golf carts. There is printer resin sitting on the cart furthest from the digsite that can be used at any of the 3D Printers.
Shovel the dirt away from the pile of loose dirt to get to the Maintenance keycard, but watch out for any cannibals that may attack. After digging up enough dirt, a small hatch will appear, leading into an underground maintenance bunker. Go down the hallway and into the door on the right to find an apartment. The keycard is sitting on a desk next to a 3D Printer.
Guitar Location in Sons of the Forest
The guitar is found in an underground Recreational Center hidden within one of the caves. The Recreational Center has several mutants hidden inside, so it would be a good idea to grab the shotgun now that players have the shovel before going after the chainsaw. The Recreational Center's entrance can be found by going to the green circle south of the maintenance digsite and east of the western beach. There will be another broken-down golf cart near a river a few feet away from an unmarked cave entrance.
Go inside the cave and follow the tunnel toward a room with a cot, supplies, and a 3D Printer. Players can use it to catch up on any sleep and grab meal packets if their basic needs are low. To the left of the main corridor is another hall leading to a wall gap with a bright light shining through. Squeeze through the gap to another hall, with one side blocked by rocks and dirt and the other with locked doors. Use the keycard to unlock the doors. Players will see a lot of workout equipment in a dark room with a purple light. There is a poolroom to the right, with more equipment, and a group of mutants towards the left.
Go to the left and deal with the mutants or run by them past the reception desk. Two large half-spiral staircases to the second floor will be at the back of the next room, past the glass doors. There will also be more mutants, so be careful before going up the stairs. Next, players must go through the pool bar area and into the more private clubroom on the second floor. They will know they are in the right place when they see the deceased man with a guitar shoved down his throat in the middle of the room.
The weapon guitar is sitting on the bar inside the clubroom. There is also cash, meds, and other supplies players can pick up by searching the rooms and the booth area. Additionally, the Guest keycard is in the booth area at the table with all the corpses.
