How To Open the Golden Door in Sons of the Forest

All that fighting, building, and struggling to live to see another day concludes at some point. When it does, Sons of the Forest requires you to open a Golden Door, but you’ll need the help of some Golden Armor. After crafting various armor throughout your adventures, you can transform something old into something shiny and new. It’s a step up from wearing that slimy Creepy Armor, isn’t it? But it’s not just cosmetics, as we can’t get through that door without it.

Opening the Golden Door in Sons of the Forest

The Golden Door stands between you and the endings in Sons of the Forest. When you look at it, you’ll notice there’s an impression of an arm. Interacting with it does nothing but mention how something’s missing. What we want to do now is make sure we have Ancient Armor in our inventory. If you don’t have it, follow these steps to get it:

1. Go to Cave D with your Rebreather and Air Tanks prepared.
2. If you enter the Cave through the section with the wooden planks, keep right until you get to an incline.
3. Climb the incline and drop into the nearby crevice, staying right until you break more wooden boards and soon see solafite light in the distance.
4. You’ll swim underwater for a time and emerge in a new area where you want to go left.
5. It’s a small swim section, and after that, ascend the rope, run through the corridor, and veer right.
6. Continue through the path until you see more solafite light and turn left.
7. After another incline, go right, head underwater, and keep forward until you get another branching path that you’ll want to go left at.
8. Finally: go right to find the spacecraft in the lightning room.
9. Go behind the spacecraft and break the wooden planks to get inside.
10. On the body, loot the Ancient Armor (and a piece of the Artifact if you don’t have it yet).

Crafting Golden Armor

Now that we have our Ancient Armor in Sons of the Forest, we can return to the site of the Golden Door to start the process for Golden Armor. Near the door is a skeleton. From said skeleton, you can loot a Blueprint. Take this outside, and from there, you’ll follow the crafting recipe:

• x4 Wire
• x1 Skull
• x33 Bones
• x25 Rocks

With the construction completed, add the Ancient Armor as well as x12 Solafite to transform it into Golden Armor. All that’s left for you to do is slip on the new armor, return to the Golden Door, and lay your arm in the slot to kick off your final adventures in Sons of the Forest.

Sons of the Forest is available on PC.
