The Katana is here to help if you’re searching for a technique to massacre adversaries in Sons of the Forest while saving ammunition for a later time. This tutorial will explain where to locate this useful weapon, which will increase your melee power and increase your chances of surviving.
What is a Katana?
Although it cannot block, the katana in Sons of the Forest is a graceful and quick weapon that is well-known for its power and style. For this reason, some players might not like it even though it offers benefits and drawbacks. The katana looks to have been improved upon in the game, as it is now more proficient than other melee weapons at severing limbs—even before an opponent is vanquished.
Katana’s Location
To obtain the Katana, you’ll need to locate the Residential cave. This cave is positioned on the southeast part of the map. Refer to the image below for precise guidance on identifying the space suit’s location within the intricate layout of the bunker’s corridors.
When you reach the Residential Bunker door, go inside and continue down the trail until you get to a hole in the ground that leads to the bunker itself. Emphasizing that you must have the Guest Keycard in order to proceed further is imperative.
Once you’ve successfully unlocked the door, descend the stairs and continue along the path. After reaching the bottom, search for a yellow door. Opening this door will trigger a cutscene.
Important Rooms and Items
Similar to other bunkers in Sons of the Forest, this cave features a crucial room integral to advancing the game’s storyline, along with valuable items essential for later stages of the game.

First Room
After the cutscene concludes, you can exit through the door adjacent to the giant mutant. If you opt to continue exploring this area, you’ll need to eliminate several mutants to advance. After successfully dispatching them, move on to the next area, where you’ll find an open room brimming with collectible items.

Once you’ve explored all the items in the initial room, continue forward. As you leave, you’ll notice a dead body on the right holding another note. After collecting it, proceed to the next door, ensuring you eliminate any mutants in the area to pass safely.
Second Room
With all the mutants eliminated, you can now access the second room. Exercise caution, as this area is also teeming with baby mutants. Similar to the first room, valuable items are scattered here, potentially aiding you on your journey.

Acquiring The Katana
Once you enter the fourth room, quickly make your way to the middle. There, you will find the magical Katana displayed on its stand.
Notes
After locating the Katana, you will find a note on the corner side of the room on top of the computer table. Another piece of note is located in front of the entrance, also on the table.
Leather Suit
The leather suit can be acquired at the end corner side of the room. There, you will find an open closet, and inside you’ll find a leather suit.

Exit To The Residential Bunker
After unlocking the Luxury bunker, proceed to descend to the lower basement. Follow the staircase and its path until you reach its end, where you’ll encounter two doors. Before unlocking the double doors, make a detour to the door on your left, which leads to another room containing important items.
