A player stands by a cave entrance with their GPS out in Sons of the Forest.

After entering the cave, hit the “L” key to bring up your lighter. Of course, you can alsofind the flashlight, if you’d prefer a brighter source of light. Then, start making your way forward through the cave. It’s fairly linear here, so continue ahead until you see a light.

Head over to the light and crouch to continue forward. Make your way through the slightly lower passage until you find a path that leads down into some water. Ahead, you’ll see some mutants wandering around near another light source.

Defeat the mutants using strong weapons, such as thestun batonorpistol, (or sneak past) and then turn left and continue ahead into the darkness. You’ll spot some lifejackets on the ground, but keep going and turn right when you can. The path continues forward until you enter a fairly large chamber, where you’ll spot another light source ahead.

You’ll need Oxygen tanks to use the Rebreather, and it doesn’t seem like you can craft them. That means you’ll need to use the limited supply around the map, so use the Rebreather sparingly.
