Sons of the Forest Torch Crafting Guide | Materials needed and how to do it.
Crafting the torch in Sons of the Forest is a fairly straightforward process. You don’t have to worry about acquiring hidden items for this. You only need to use a single stick and a piece of cloth to craft it. Sticks can be found all over the forest and you can pick them up from the ground. Alternatively, you can cut down a small tree to get one. As for the fabric, you can loot it from crates or collect it from different places. For example, when you visit the tomb to get the shotgun, you can find a piece of cloth above the cross.

Once you have acquired both items, open your inventory by pressing the “I” key. Then you need to select a stick, which is on the right side, and place it in the middle. Then select the cloth on the left side and use the gear icon to combine the two elements. The torch will be placed on the right side of the inventory and you can equip it by right-clicking. Now take out your lighter by pressing the ‘L’ key and hold the same key to light it.
The torch is not only used to explore caves and other dark areas, but can also be a great help in winter. When the winter season arrives, you must ensure that your character stays warm at all times. You can do this by keeping the torch in your hands while exploring the forest, as the heat emanating from it will keep your character warm.
