How to Revive NPCs in Sons of the Forest
Reviving NPCs in Sons of the Forest can be a bit tricky, but with the right steps, you can bring your fallen companions back to life. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of reviving Virginia and Kelvin, two of the main NPCs in the game.
Reviving Virginia and Kelvin
To revive Virginia and Kelvin, you’ll need to edit the game’s save files on your PC. This process requires some technical knowledge, so make sure you’re comfortable with editing files before proceeding.
Step 1: Create a New Save Slot
Before you start editing the save files, create a new save slot to ensure you don’t overwrite your current progress. To do this, go to the game’s main menu and select "New Game" or "Continue Game" and then choose a new save slot.
Step 2: Access the Save Files
To access the save files, you’ll need to navigate to the game’s directory on your PC. The default directory is usually C:UsersYourUsernameAppDataLocalEndnight Sons of the ForestSaves. Create a new folder for your new save slot and name it something like "Revive Virginia".
Step 3: Edit the GameStateSaveData.json File
In the new folder, you’ll find a file called GameStateSaveData.json. Open this file in a text editor like Notepad++ or Sublime Text. Look for the line that starts with "IsRobbyDead": true and change it to "IsRobbyDead": false. This will revive Virginia.
Step 4: Edit the SaveData.json File
Next, open the SaveData.json file in the same folder. Look for the line that starts with "State": 6 and change it to "State": 2. This will revive Kelvin.
Step 5: Change Kelvin’s Health
To revive Kelvin, you’ll also need to change his health. Look for the line that starts with "Health": 0 and change it to a value between 1 and 100. This will restore Kelvin’s health.
Tips and Tricks
- Make sure to backup your original save files before editing them, in case something goes wrong.
- If you’re not comfortable editing files, you can try using a mod or a save editor to revive your NPCs.
- Reviving NPCs will not restore their inventory or equipment, so you’ll need to re-equip them after reviving them.
Conclusion
Reviving NPCs in Sons of the Forest requires some technical knowledge and caution, but with the right steps, you can bring your fallen companions back to life. Remember to create a new save slot, access the save files, edit the GameStateSaveData.json and SaveData.json files, and change Kelvin’s health. With these steps, you’ll be able to revive Virginia and Kelvin and continue your journey in the game.
