The Sons of the Forest flashlight should be one of the first items you consider collecting in the survival game. If you ever played The Forest, then you’ll know that a lot of your time is spent deep underground in terrifying cave systems – so you need a way to see where you’re going. Torches are great and all, but it’s handy to have something sturdy and bright that you can hold in your off hand.

As luck would have it, the Sons of the Forest flashlight location can be found very early in the horror game, and – unlike the Sons of the Forest shovel – you don’t need anything to obtain it other than the tactical axe you’re given upon crash landing into what could be one of the best PC games of the year. Found at one of the Sons of the Forest GPS locator sites, the flashlight is accompanied by a useful GPS tracking device, which can be used to mark points of interest on your Sons of the Forest map. So, with such good items to find there, here’s how to find the Sons of the Forest flashlight location.
