How to get a pickaxe in Children of the Forest
- Find new caves: Head to the northeast of the island, to the north of the circular lake, and to the northeast of the Snowy Mountains area. Look for a hole in the ground between some rocks.
- Cave Navigation: Descend along the long rope inside the cave and keep walking along the path. Pass a small waterfall on the left and continue walking to the right along the flowing water. Descend to the lower level of the cave, where you’ll find a gas tank and a backpack.
- Further exploration: From the gas tank and backpack, head left into a small, deep pool. Dive into the water and swim through a narrow passage, past the skeletons, until you reach the other side. Climb up the rocks and then descend to a small section below.
- Pickaxe Found: Destroy the planks blocking the path ahead. Keep going, collect loot and explore the trails (if you want). Eventually, you will reach the section with the Solafite structure. Continue until you find a dead end with electricity, where you can pick up an artifact.
- Return Pickaxe: Go back to where you smashed the plank and fell down. Slide into the water along the path opposite the blocked door and equip your rebreather. Swim forward, then up, to find a narrow path that leads to a pickaxe stuck in sparkling Sorafi Ore.
- Exiting the Cave: To exit the cave, climb the rope to reach another body of water. Jump down, follow the path, and climb up another rope. Exit the cave in the direction of the blue light, taking the pickaxe in your inventory.
