While exploring The Forest, you will come across various resources and enemies. You can try to defend yourself using weapons, but you can also sneak past using other tactics. One of the materials that are rare to find but will need is Red Paint. In this guide, we will see how to get Red Paint in The Forest.
The Forest – How to Get Red Paint
Painting your character red using red paint can make them pass through the cannibalistic villages without a scratch. Here we will see how to get red paint in The Forest.
Red Paint can help your character camouflage themselves when they come across a cannibal. Most cannibals will not attack you if you are painted red, and you can safely enter and leave their village as long as the red paint is on. But finding these red paint cans is rare, and there are only a few places to get them.
- Cave 7 – Chasm Cave – Keep going down to the waterfall room till you can find the red paint tin on the ledge. You can find another one near the red man cave painting in the same cave.
- Cave 2 – Hanging Cave – in the same place where you got the ax
- You can also get one somewhere near the main cannibal village close to the crash site
- There are 2 longhouses where you can get red paint, one is a cannibal longhouse that overlooks the ocean, and the other is a river longhouse that has a slide that leads to the river. The cannibal longhouse can be found if you travel north along the west coast
- You can also get one at the bottom of the cliff in the Fertile Land
- If you manage to get into Sahara Laboratories, you can find a bunch of red paint here.
You should note that red paint is not permanent, and can get washed away if you take a dunk in the rivers or ponds, or if it rains. You have to keep reapplying it for the cannibals to leave you alone. Also, red paint will not work on mutants and other beings besides cannibals.
