Sons of the Forest strands you on an island with, amongst other things, cannibals. Theyāre initially standoffish but will likely start to see you as on the menu. But what if you feel like turning the tables? What if youāre wondering how to eat cannibals in Sons of the Forest? Hereās the gruesome full explanation.
You Can Eat the Arms and Legs of Cannibals in Sons of the Forest Without Penalty
In the original The Forest you could eat cannibalsā body parts, but there was a sanity penalty. In Sons of the Forest, thereās no penalty, so you can chow down to your heartās content. Om nom nom nom. Sorry.
Hereās how to eat cannibals in Sons of the Forest:
- Kill a cannibal. If there are other cannibals around, grab the body and take it as far away as you can and drop it.
- Hack away at the corpse with your axe, aiming your strokes at the point where an arm or leg meets the body.
- Look at the limb, which will be labeled āRaw Legā, or āRaw Arm.ā
- Youāll have the option to pick it up by pressing E or eat it by holding E.
- If you donāt eat it, you can go to a fire, click on the fire, and cook the limb. Raw or cooked, itās up to you.
And thatās the rather gruesome way to eat cannibals. You can cook heads, but you canāt eat them. You can, however, attack people with a severed arm, which is quite something. After an update, you can now also assign severed limbs to a hotkey. Itās worth assigning a head to a hotkey, since wielding a head sometimes makes enemies back off.
Secondly, the limbs sometimes just disappear, often with a splash. Our best guess is that theyāre clipping through the floor and ending up in the water, out of reach. So you may need to chop away at a few cannibals till you get an edible leg or arm.
Or if eating cannibals isnāt to your taste, you can also throw the body on the fire and get skulls and bones, which can be used in constructing other items. You can only eat cannibals so far, however, not mutants ā youāll learn to recognize the difference.
