Guide to The Forest Part 25: Learn how to find the SAHARA EMPLOYEE KEYCARD and CAMCORDER in a dangerous cave, and explore the southern forest.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter at Entrance 1 (W). You'll find a tent, a fire, and 'MEGAN'S ARRIVAL' VIDEO TAPE.
  2. 2
    Continue down the main tunnel and descend another rope.
  3. 3
    Land in a hostile cave with two exits. Prioritize the exit on the right (due south), behind a plank wall.
  4. 4
    Search the tunnel beyond to find another rope leading down. This southern cave is EXTREMELY important for game completion; you cannot finish the game without the Keycard found here.
  5. 5
    Prepare for this cave: Molotovs or explosives are recommended, and flares will help. The cave contains a Virginia, babies, and corpses.
  6. 6
    To safely descend, jump down to the ledge with the burning candle instead of using the rope. This allows you to pick off enemies from a safe distance.
  7. 7
    Locate the SAHARA EMPLOYEE KEYCARD on the floor in the center of the room, near corpses.
  8. 8
    Find the CAMCORDER perched on a rock on the left.
  9. 9
    After collecting the Keycard, go back up the rope and take the other rope in the south-east corner of the junction cave.
  10. 10
    This leads to supplies including dynamite and another hostile cave. Collect coins and cash from under the bodies of four hanging Passengers (6C, 6D, 7D, 8D).
  11. 11
    The large water tunnel connects to the Waterfall Cave. A tent is present here for saving.
  12. 12
    Head north past the hanging Passengers and up tunnels to find more ropes.
  13. 13
    Ascend these ropes and tunnels to reach another tent, fire, flares, and snacks.
  14. 14
    A small water hole farther up contains an air canister.
  15. 15
    The tunnel ultimately exits at Entrance 2 (E), offering a view of the northern mountain.
  16. 16
    You have now visited all seven caves in the southern map half. The next objective is the Chasm Cave, located north of Ledge Cave's Entrance 2 (W) and Waterfall Cave's Entrance 1 (N).
  17. 17
    Consider exploring the northern half of the map.
  18. 18
    Point of Interest: Exiting Lawyers Cave from Entrance 2 (E) leads to a large clearing suitable for a base, but it's on a patrol route.
  19. 19
    Point of Interest: West of Lawyers Cave Entrance 2 (E), go to the beach and find the south-easternmost small island. Face south-west over the sea and look for a floating log indicating a Rebreather hole.
  20. 20
    Inside this underwater cave, find the TOWER PAGE (3/4) on the first ledge and the GLIDER PAGE (2/4) in the last cave. Crossbow bolts are also present.
Tips
  • The Rebreather is useful for the Waterfall Cave but not strictly required.
  • Molotovs and explosives are effective against cave enemies. Be cautious of setting yourself on fire when dropping molotovs down ropes.
  • The Glider is a valuable item for fast travel once crafted. Equip it by pressing 'E'. It detaches when entering deep water or climbing ropes.
  • SAHARA EMPLOYEE KEYCARD (mission critical)
  • CAMCORDER
  • TOWER PAGE (3/4)
  • GLIDER PAGE (2/4)
  • Dynamite
  • Air canister
  • Various supplies (snacks, meds, clothes, coins, cash, crossbow bolts)
