Unlocking The Boat's Secrets In The Forest

To open the locked room in the boat in the game The Forest, players need to obtain the gold keycard. This can be acquired by defeating the final boss, Megan Cross, and choosing the non-canon, alternative ending. In this ending, the player does not shoot the plane, and they will find the key behind the locked doors in the yacht.

You need a gold keycard to open the locked door in the yacht

To open the locked door in the yacht in the game The Forest, you need a gold keycard. This is obtained by defeating the final boss, Megan Cross, and choosing the non-canon, alternative ending.

To get the gold keycard, you must defeat Megan Cross, the final boss. After killing Megan, place her body in the first artefact, and she will drop the keycard. This is the only way to obtain the keycard, as other keycards found in the game will not open the door.

Once you have the gold keycard, you can open the locked door in the yacht. This door was added in an updated version of the game, and it can be found in a bay on the southwestern coast of the Peninsula. The yacht is dangerous to access by swimming due to sharks in the surrounding waters, so it is recommended to use a small raft to reach the yacht.

The yacht contains supplies and is a useful backup location in case of a native attack. However, the player cannot build on the deck of the yacht, and some structures inside the yacht are not usable.

You get the gold keycard after defeating the final boss, Megan Cross

In the survival horror game The Forest, Megan Cross is the final boss. She is the daughter of Mathew Cross, who attempts to revive her using the obelisk after she dies in the lab. The player, Erik, must defeat Megan's mutated form, which involves her attacking the player by charging at them, spinning around, knocking them down, and spawning mutant babies.

To defeat Megan, the player can use flare guns, fire weapons, and explosives. Once Megan is defeated, the player must carry her child body back to the station and place it in the resurrection obelisk in the large lab. Megan will then drop the golden keycard.

The golden keycard is crucial for progressing in the game. It opens doors in the Sahara Laboratory, allowing access to the hallway leading to the Sahara Cave and the elevator to the observatory. The keycard is also required to unlock the alternate ending of the game.

To find the keycard, players must follow a series of steps. They must use the cave entrance northwest of the sinkhole and fight their way through the cave, climbing down using ropes and a climbing axe. After defeating the mutants, players must squeeze through a gap into the next cave and turn right into a passage. They will find a tent for saving and sleeping before continuing straight ahead, smashing through a wooden wall, and swimming through a lake. On the other side, players can blast their way through with dynamite to find two Armsies guarding a gate.

By weighing the small pedestal in front of the gate with stones, players can open this gate and the next one. After squeezing through the next passage, players will find themselves at the bottom of the sinkhole. It is recommended to run past the strong opponents and dive down through the hole in the water, swimming straight ahead through the large arches. After surfacing, players must climb again and will eventually find another tent for saving and sleeping. The laboratory door can be opened with the employee card, and the final boss can be found beyond.

You can only get the keycard if you choose the non-canon alternative ending

In The Forest, the survival horror game developed by Endnight Games, there are two endings to the game. The first ending is considered the canonical ending, in which the player character, Eric LeBlanc, sacrifices another child to bring his son Timmy back to life. The player then has to deal with Timmy's mutation, which occurs a few years later.

The second ending is the non-canon alternative ending, in which the player chooses to shut down the facility and leave Timmy behind. This ending does not trigger a cutscene and the player can continue playing the game. This ending also provides access to certain areas that are otherwise inaccessible.

If you choose the non-canon alternative ending, you will receive a keycard after escaping the facility. This keycard allows you to return to the yacht, which is located in a bay on the southwestern coast of the peninsula. The yacht contains supplies and is suggested to have belonged to a group of people who came to the island in 1984, either to use the resurrection obelisk or to rescue their children.

The keycard you receive after choosing the alternative ending opens a locked door on the yacht, behind which you will find the artifact key. This artifact key allows you to access the Artifact Ball, which can be found in the Artifact Cave. The artifact has three options: attract cannibals, banish cannibals, or use it as a decoration.

It is important to note that choosing the alternative ending will not give you credit for completing the game, and you will not receive the "Vegan" achievement. Additionally, you will not be able to access creative mode after choosing this ending.

The alternative ending involves not shooting the plane

The Forest is an open-world survival horror game where the player must find their son, Timmy, who was taken by the Red Mutant at the beginning of the game.

In the game's ending, the player must decide whether to shoot down a plane or let it pass. If the player chooses to shoot down the plane, they can use one of the surviving children from the crash as a sacrifice to resurrect Timmy. However, if the player chooses not to shoot the plane, there is an alternative ending.

In the alternative ending, the player shuts down the Power Obelisk in the Observatory, allowing the plane to fly off safely. The player then leaves the Artifact Cave and watches the plane depart before mournfully burning a photo of Timmy and resuming their survival routine.

Choosing this ending means the player does not receive the gold keycard, which is obtained by defeating Megan Cross, the final boss. The keycard is needed to open the locked door on the boat. However, some players have suggested that it is still possible to access the boat through the alternative ending. One player suggests that the key to the boat can be obtained by opening the locked doors in the yacht, which can be accessed using Keycard Two. This key is found behind a locked door in the yacht.

Another player provides a more detailed explanation of the alternative ending. They suggest that by choosing not to shoot the plane, the player avoids killing a group of people and instead focuses on finding another way to save Timmy. The player discovers that the resurrection of the children is only temporary, and they turn into mutants after a year. The player must find a way to escape the island with Timmy before he also turns into a mutant. This ending provides a more challenging and thought-provoking conclusion to the game, as the player must explore other options to save their son without resorting to sacrificing innocent lives.

After defeating Megan, kill her and put her body in the first artefact

After defeating Megan Cross, the final boss of the game, you will need to kill her and put her body in the first artefact. Megan can be defeated using the flare gun, fire weapons, explosives, or poison arrows. Once she is defeated, pick up her body and take it to the machine that Timmy was in. Megan will drop a golden keycard, which can be used to open the door to the right.

Make your way through the cave system until you find the control room. Here, you will have a choice: you can either save Timmy and end the game, or let Timmy die and continue playing. If you choose the latter option, go to the yacht and use the golden keycard to obtain the pyramid. Take the pyramid back to the cave and use it to open the room that contains the first artefact.

The artefact can be used to control cannibal or mutant behaviour.
