The Golden Armor is a crucial late-game armor set in Sons of the Forest, providing significant protection and serving as a key item for story progression. This medieval plate armor, made of gold, covers the body from head to toe. Its primary purpose is to grant access to the Artifact room within the final bunker, making it essential for completing the game's story.

The Golden Armor offers 10 segments of armor from the start, making it a powerful defensive item. However, there is only one set available in the game. If lost, it is gone permanently. A known exploit allows players to save in the room containing the armor before picking it up, then reload the save to potentially re-acquire it if needed.

To find the Golden Armor, players must explore a bunker located to the southeast of the map, next to a lake. This bunker leads to the last area of the game. The Golden Armor is distinct from the Ancient Armor, which has an upgraded form required to enter the Hell Caves located under the Luxury Bunker.
