Where to Find Boars in The Forest

by

As a seasoned survivor of The Forest, I can tell you that the boar is one of the most intriguing and challenging creatures to encounter on this island. Having spent countless hours navigating its treacherous terrains, I’ve come to appreciate the unpredictability of these beasts.

On the island within the forest, numerous creatures reside, many of which can be hunted for sustenance and various supplies. Although most aren’t hostile, some will attack the player. One such animal is the boar, which becomes aggressive if the player approaches it too closely. Despite being territorial, boars are somewhat timid and often flee or hide from the player, especially when wounded.

As a seasoned gamer in the immersive world of The Forest, tracking down and taking down those elusive boars can be quite the challenge, but fear not! Here’s your guide on where to spot boars and how to handle them effectively within this game.

Where To Find Boars

Boars can only be found on the northern part of the island, outside of console commands. Navigating without a compass might prove challenging. If you’re searching for boars but don’t know your direction, follow the river towards the mountainous region. The mountain area is quite harsh due to its cold climate, but boars often roam near the border of this biome, making hunting them slightly more manageable.

Generally speaking, you’ll often encounter wild boars in small groups, which is advantageous for gathering additional resources. However, keep in mind that they are easily startled, so approach them quietly, ideally using a bow. It’s worth noting that boars are not difficult to kill; a few well-aimed shots with a bow or a couple of strategic strikes with an upgraded spear should be enough to bring one down.

The Benefits Of Killing Boars

After slaying a wild boar, you can gather various beneficial items from it. Engaging with it just once allows you to collect its hide. The boar hide is essential for crafting several valuable game items, including storage pouches and a specific armor variety.

  • Rock Bags
  • Spear Bags

If you encounter the boar’s carcass again, you’ll obtain two portions of meat. You can either cook or dry this meat for consumption, which will help appease your character’s hunger. Additionally, the boar’s head is another item you can collect. This gruesome detail enables players to amass animal heads and arrange them as decorations in their base. Animal skulls make for interesting decor that can add a unique touch to your player’s home, although they don’t offer any significant functionality.

Enthusiasts who take pleasure in amassing all sorts of trophies would be eager to showcase the skulls of each game’s unique animals, as this accomplishes the ‘Hunt Every Animal Species and Show Skulls’ feat.
