Sons of the Forestis a sci-fi horror and survival game featuring cannibals and mutants. Players are sent on a rescue mission to find the Puffton family, but it’s quickly cut short when their helicopter crashes. Luckily, there is one other survivor of the crash, Kelvin.
Kelvin is an NPC programmed to follow the players andassist them with various tasks. Kelvin can hunt, build, and keep players company in the wilderness, although he doesn’t talk. He will also notify players if enemies are nearby; however, Kelvin isn’t invincible to the cannibal and mutant attacks and can take damage.Sons of the Forestplayers worried about whether Kelvin can die can use this guide for answers.
Can Kelvin Die?
Kelvin can die in Sons of the Forest. While he can’t die from natural causes, he can be killed by enemies or the player if attacked. Kelvin can take a decent amount of damage before dying but eventually will succumb and fall. If players attack and don’t kill him, he will be wary of them andless willing to listen to them.
Kelvin cannot defend himself, unlike Virginia, who can be given weapons, so he primarily relies on running and hiding whenever danger is nearby. On the bright side, players don’t have to worry about him when they go into caves either because he waits outside and they can meet up with him when they resurface.
What Happens When Kelvin Dies?
Whenever Kelvin dies, he is no longer available in that save. Players can’t dispose of his body unless they build over it, andif they’ve befriended Virginia, she will mourn over Kelvin’s body. The only way to get Kelvin back after he dies is to start a new save, download a mod, or manipulate your save file.
How to Revive Kelvin in Sons of the Forest
Kelvin only dies if he is hit again after being downed. Players can revive him if they help him right after he falls by approaching him and holding down ‘E.’ Sometimes, reviving him right away is impossible if cannibals are attacking. Kelvin will either heal himself or stay down until players heal him or he is killed. Once he is back on his feet, he usually runs until things calm down.
