The Forest features several weapons, and tools players must find in hidden and hard-to-get locations. One such weapon is the famed Katana, which can destroy Cannibals in melee combat. However, it’s unclear to anyone new to The Forest where to find the Katana.
Where to find the Katana sword in The Forest
To find the Katana in The Forest, you must locateCave one, also known as theDead Cave. Finding the Dead Cave or Cave One is a bit of a challenge as you can not see where you are going when you first start. In short, players don’t get access to amapuntil they find it later inCave 2, also called theHanging Cave. We recommend firstfinding and getting the mapas it can help you find your way throughout The Forest’s open world and locate the Katana’s location. You can find the Hanging Cave by finding the Main Village towards the southeast. Inside the Main village, you can find an entrance to the Hanging Cave. You can find the map and a Compass item in the Hanging Cave’s initial cave chamber. If you do not want to find the map first, you can still find the Katana location in The Forest by using your surroundings.

In short, we recommend going to a clear opening and looking around for a large mountain. The Mountain always sits toward the north of the peninsula The Forest takes place on. Also near the Mountain is a large river that heads down. Head toward the Mountain until you see the river and can see the Mountain, similar to our screenshot above. Follow the river by turning around when you see the Mountain and keep following the river until you reach another point marked below. At this point, head up the hill, and you will find the entrance on your right. If you already have the map, you can find the location of the Dead Cave, also shown below.
Another way to find the Dead Cave is to get a lucky spawn that places the crash plane up a hill from it. You can try and get this lucky spawn by recreating the game until you find a location that looks like the one below.
