Location of the map and compass + hairspray

Difficulty: 1/10 | Time: 5-10 minutes.

## *Briefly:* 1) Find the entrance to the cave. 2) Go down, walk 5 conditional meters and pick up a map with a compass. 3) Walk 1 meter forward and take the story picture. 4) Turn right, walk to the wall, pick up a can of hair spray from the suitcases. 5) Walk 5 conditional meters back, rise back to the surface.# **The way to the cave:** Run to the beach near the yacht, turn your back to the yacht, then turn to the right, there will be a forest in front of you. You need to run into the center of this forest (fig. 1). Run forward until you see a clearing and the entrance to the cave (Fig. 2). Run past it by turning the camera slightly to the right. Run until you come to another clearing (fig. 3), run to the cliff so that it remains 15 conditional meters away. Turn the camera so that it is between the left clearing and the rock, run until you find the main village of the aborigines. There will be a cave entrance near this village (fig. 4). Go down.# **Actions inside the cave:** After the descent, you can relax, this is a safe zone, and there are no enemies in it. This is where you find yourself after your first death in the game. After walking forward 10 conventional meters, you will see a poor guy with a stone lying on him - a map and a compass are next to him (Fig. 5). Pick them up, also pick up a plot drawing a couple of meters from the map. Go back to the place where you took the map and turn left. Run to the suitcases - there will be hair spray in one open suitcase. Pick it up, and climb back up the cable to the surface.## **Compass and map: a complete overview** - Compass and map are the main navigation tools in The Forest. They are indispensable when exploring the peninsula, searching for caves and navigating the terrain. Both items can be obtained safely at the beginning of survival, making them a priority target for the new player. #### Usage features - Compass and map cannot be equipped with a lighter or a flashlight — these items occupy separate equipment slots. However, the letters on the compass glow in the dark, which completely eliminates the need for an additional light source to use it. This is extremely useful when moving around caves or at night. #### Practical value - The map displays the explored territories and marks the key locations. The compass helps to determine the direction of movement and compare the route with the landmarks. Together, they make it much easier to find caves, exits to the surface, and safe paths between bases.# **Hairspray: Full review** - Hairspray is a flammable weapon that is used in combination with a lighter. When these two items are equipped together, the varnish turns into an improvised flamethrower capable of setting enemies and the environment on fire. #### Where to find - Hairspray can be found in caves, as well as in suitcases scattered throughout the peninsula. It is a consumable with a very limited supply of use, so it should only be used if absolutely necessary. #### Gameplay and usage - When equipped with varnish, it can be used by holding down the left mouse button (attack button). If you also have a lighter equipped, the sprayer lights up, and the varnish begins to act as a full-fledged flamethrower. At close range, the flame can set fire to bushes, grass and animals. #### Interaction with buildings and bodies - Important note: the player's buildings and structures are not damaged in any way by fire from hairspray. However, if you set fire to the bodies of the murdered aborigines, they will catch fire, and after a while it will be possible to collect bones from them. This makes varnish a useful tool for mining bones, a valuable resource for creating armor and some crafting items. #### Additional advice - Do not use hairspray in close combat against fast enemies — ignition time can cost you health. It is better to use it against grouped opponents or to set fire to bodies on the base. Remember that the supply of varnish is limited, so always keep an alternative weapon with you and do not rely on a flamethrower as your main means of protection.
