Speedrunning has always remained an important part of gaming, especially in survival games where players challenge each other to survive the misfortune predicament in the game as quickly as possible. Despite the fact that Sons Of The Forest is less than a month old, players have already found workarounds and glitches in the game that allows them to skip all the exploration and speedrun through the end of the game in less than 10 minutes.
Thus, players who are interested in speedrunning the game as well must first memorize all the proper glitches and routes before they take on the challenge, which we will be listed here.
Important: The game is still in early access mode, so all the bugs and glitches that are used to complete this speedrun may be fixed/ patched with future updates.
Correct Spawn Point

Of course, if you do not want to do this speedrun as quickly as possible, then every other starting point is also perfectly fine, and you can simply skip this guide till the “Back From The Dead” heading. While you are at it, consider reading our guide on best armor sets as well because they may give you a bit more defense if you find yourself surrounded by enemies while performing this speed run in higher difficulties.
Once you have gained control of your character, start running uphill at the location shown in the image below.

Pro-tip, keep sprinting until you are almost about to run out of stamina, but instead of waiting for it to replenish, open your inventory and unzip your emergency kit. It will save you time, and your stamina will also recover in the meantime.
Once you have reached the top, start moving to the left side of the mountain, another tip you can use is, when your speed increases while moving downhill, you can open your crafting journal to trick the game into maintaining that superfast speed while negating all of the environmental or fall damage you will face in the process.
Once you have reached the specific peak of the mountain shown in the image below, simply jump off to your death, unironically.

Back From The Dead


We will recommend using the Crafting Journal glitch to get there as soon as possible because it greatly increases your running speed and negates all fall damage. You can use it to gain a bunch of momentum and simply jump off the hill you are currently on to reach your location.
The Final Bunker And The Door Glitch

Move in front of the locked door and equip the sticks. Use the mouse button to place sticks on the ground, and its animation will take you straight through the locked gate. It is a bit tough to pull off sometimes but try hard enough, and you’ll do fine.
Once inside, move through the door on the left and start facing the edge of the room, right beside the door (don’t go down the stairs). Use the same door glitch technique to exit the game map and reach the “backrooms,” which you can traverse. However, just be careful not to fall off into the eternal abyss. Just keep following the linear path and when you reach a crossroad, move to the left and reach the location shown in the image below.

The Final Cave
You have finally reached the end game; now, the only thing left to do is to sprint in the right direction. Now simply use the crafting journal glitch to traverse the cave as quickly as possible. Keep following along the path. A word of advice, though, this cave is infested with pretty tough mobs, so avoid them whenever you can. And under no circumstances should you try to fight them. This is a speedrun, and you do not have the necessary armor or the weapons to take them on.
Keep moving ahead until you reach this specific location shown in the image below.

Nonetheless, keep following the path until you reach another narrow pathway, and use to journal glitch again to gain extra speed. Soon you will reach a lava stream. Start following the stream, as it will lead you to the right path. Once you have reached the end of the lava stream, as shown in the image below.
