►THE FOREST IS RELEASED!!! 1.0 Update Overview, Including Both Endings (At The End, Easy To Avoid)

[@killerkuerbis6845]

They polished up the game pretty well, only 1 person on a server can get the artifact though so we had to duplicate it...

[@VeritasVinci7]

Whatever it is that the other youtubers do. You're the one with the best story related and update related vids of the Forest! Keep it up :D

[@shazam61]

I Love your Forest videos Bobo! So much detail, without dragging it out. I will always come to you first. Lol. . "Not what you think" get your head outta the gutter! I would very much love a new Season with the full game release. 😀

[@chiitaa4819]

Oh.. Your voice is so relaxing, dear lord.. D: The music was a great bonus.. I also love the fact that you take your time to explain and show stuff, no furious rushing trying to finish the video in 5 minutes. You deserve more subs for sure! I wish you success! A gentle hug from Brazil. 💙

[@FetidBobo]

Sorry for the delay "Unknown error compiling video"!.. I cri.. Adobe.. plz.. (ノ ゜Д゜)ノ ︵ ┻━┻. But we did it! We're here lol. Hype! 1.0 is here :OOOO

[@FetidBobo]

Oh Donut wants everyone to know that you can also get hairspray from cannibal beach houses :P

[@LlamaJob]

Ah The problem is your forgot to sacrifice a goat before hitting encode :3

[@MrHardTruck]

Holy shit im amazed! I honestly didnt expect that much of a change since the last Update, damn. And im sooo glad that they did something to the story ending (even tho it ends at such a stupid interesting moment q.q). I honestly dont have any words left, its awesome. I wish i would know more about the story from the past tho... So interesting! As always, thanks for taking the time and effort to provide us this awesome video. I honestly love your style lol. Have a great day, see ya next time!

[@AngelAffinity18]

I refused to watch any other 1.0 update videos. I was waiting for yours! :D

[@FetidBobo]

:D, I feel loved! Hehe, thank you! Hope you enjoyed the video and the new patch content ~ :)

[@LucindaPug]

Yay 1.0!! What a journey it’s been :D

[@FetidBobo]

Indeed! Update videos since what.. like .24? haha What a ride :D

[@LucindaPug]

Fetid Bobo haha yeh ikr :)

[@taura1099]

I've been waiting for yours :D...excellent video as always, thanks Bobo

[@IvanKoretskyy]

It’s so nice being able to play this game for the first time in 1.0, from what it sounds, all of the things I took for granite seems to be praised for being added in 1.0

[@ghostexdelta6]

“Here’s the creepy armor and it’s ahh, creepy” Lmao.

[@lennertoss6497]

WOW!that is one amazing update! cant wait to play it.

[@DonutxdGaming]

Gets the Donut seal of approval (Y)

[@kahvil]

thoes coffee cups are best thing ever that is added to the game

[@FetidBobo]

It's the little things that are important! I couldn't feel truly immersed in the game.. until now! *inhales coffee beans and increases caffeine IV drip* :D (Although tbh I am a huge fan of tea too though, so like.. next important update has to add some tea hahaha)

[@kahvil]

Fetid Bobo 😲 coffee for the win

[@buttonmasherXD]

The hairspray is in suitcases that are already open in the world, generally in cannibal villages

[@FetidBobo]

I found some in open cases down in the caves but I was like "no way I'm going to tell people to go down into the depths to find one can" lol. Read on reddit that people found some in cases by the plane, maybe that was wrong? Thanks for letting us know where to actually easily find some though! Did you see them in all the villages or specifically the beach one? I was in the cannibal village and there were none ;/

[@buttonmasherXD]

I've seen them in the backs of huts but I can't fully remember which villages have them and don't, I was busy running around the world with a 99 athleticism character trying to find new stuff

[@SilasThorn]

I'm so tempted to watch the spoilers!

[@FetidBobo]

:O... :3.. what will you choose haha There is that tent before going into the area, could work your way down there - and do it twice :P

[@SilasThorn]

I have no idea how to choose between the endings lol. I have a group of friends that want to play through the game, but until they get on, I'm stuck with temptation.

[@FetidBobo]

Slightly but not really spoiler-y is one of them extended from what you know, with a fun new scene but just like before it still kicks you out to the main menu and the second which allows you to continue playing. That might make it easier to pick, if you had to choose one. (But definitely see both at some point).

[@nnnxu1601]

Your videos are srsly so relaxing

[@FetidBobo]

[@torresmichael4341]

well made video. love the spoiler warnings =]. p.s. this is the 1st time I have seen that artifact thing

[@ORangezSman]

Hair spray on the hardest difficulty doesn’t do much and it’s so good to spray and run

[@FetidBobo]

On hard mode fire damage is halved from normal and it's like 35% for mutants (but they take less damage in normal already), so it sort of makes sense that fire feels bad in hard mode lol (still offers CC though :D).

[@luis1856]

great video man

[@FetidBobo]

ty :)

[@rennereisen3513]

I wish I found your channel 4 years ago...

[@stefanemanuel5606]

i love intros ^^

[@FetidBobo]

Yeee

[@ghostexdelta6]

Damn it KZbin, where was my notification?!

[@FetidBobo]

Now days you have to subscribe, bell and then make sure the bell says "always" rather than sometimes. KZbin keeps adding hoops lol

[@eziona4047]

damn, that was epic

[@FetidBobo]

Karl Yeee

[@LavaTF2]

Thanks for telling me about skipping one minute in :)

[@FetidBobo]

Np~! :D Hopefully it was easy, tried to make it like if you were close enough that all was well rather than "Skip 46.5 seconds in, exactly, dont miss it!" haha.

[@LavaTF2]

Ye was pretty much perfecto

[@Darkwolfpocco]

Man that sucks that you have to get the bad ending to get the Mini artifact.

[@dajordanator]

So I missed a lot of forest updates after year 1, is there a video you have or would reccomend for a story explanation, or tips for how to get through the story.

[@FetidBobo]

Hmmm, I have a boss guide, a guide for each item needed (but not in a list of one video), and I have a lore video that was made before all the story was out (it's still pretty accurate, with some guesses being wrong now but for the most part I feel like it would leave you with a better idea). I could make some "how to finish the game guides", wouldn't be out till later next week though if you wanted. I try not to watch any other youtubers that do content I do because I don't want to be using their ideas or being annoyed if I notice something off lol. A lot of "this is the best" (click bait titles) or "I'm the first to do this" (probably not) out there, decided I'm happier not knowing what people are doing or saying haha. Not to suggest that all The Forest youtubers do that or that they even do it all the time - or that I wouldn't like them if I did interact (some friendly to me are even in my featured profile section~!), just peace of mind, and simple mind for me to know that everything I do has no relation to someone else's ideas (unless we've been in direct dm contact, and then it means I've given them credit in the video) and that if they do something I think is silly or rude that I don't worry about it all cause I don't know about it haha. End game stuff: boss guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4azh3qogaaLfcU (there is now a spear bag which might help, wasn't out when this video was made but this is how I fight the boss still and it works) rebreather: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4Tdnn-bmqpohs0 (required) climbing axe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6m5gGejqNqjf80 (required) keycard: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKTWl4xvZ9Gta9k (required) Once you have the needed items you can make your way down into the sinkhole (build/be crazy and fall down slowly) or safely go through the caves lol. theforestmap.com/#484.5,-626.7 Story: lore theory: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqatdYejlsl4qK8 tapes that add story not available when I made the above video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rF7Sl51ja72hrNk I like using the cassette tape / bow against the boss which allows me to sprint all day long and fight from a distance (still scary but... not as doing it melee lol). Cassette and tape easily found on yacht. Better bow can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n17XaGaGpNagebcm52s I have a lore theory video that stayed pretty accurate even through new updates but of course some of it is not right just as new content came out to describe the dev's vision better. It should probably be updated with the new story though, since some of it is left for you to figure out or figure Gotta go like right now but I might be able to add or answer questions in a bit :) Happy Weekend!

[@dajordanator]

Fetid Bobo ok cool! A video or even compiling like a playlist would be easier than editing a whole video on your end, though if it's something you were going to do anyways I'd watch it

[@dajordanator]

Fetid Bobo can you still ride the turtle shell to the bottom and take no damage like a boss?

[@FetidBobo]

Ye-no, part of the fall damage equation (from experience, I don't know the literal formula) is a ratio of speed forward vs down. So if you're falling very fast and moving forward slowly then you take damage, meanwhile if you are falling very fast but also going forward very fast then you'd skip along the surface. If you start, land, and skip (because you'll bounce at those large speeds), in the right way then you could theoretically make it lol... but I'd say a great majority of the time will be dying. If you wanted to go down without going through the cave I'd say building a bridge across and jumping into the center water bit, or using ziplines (and also jumping into the center bit).

[@kawaiiobama8079]

lol. i think that was only the prepatch, i read the patchnotes and it said that there is a spearbag, so you can hold up to 5 spears.

[@FetidBobo]

Pre-patch was majority of the content but this was also with the new stuff too, I showed the recipe for the spear bag but I'm a big freaking Muppet and forgot to mention it ... Sorry about that ;(

[@kawaiiobama8079]

Fetid Bobo oh, okay. i guess 1.0 was overhyped i expected a new map or something

[@ghostexdelta6]

What happens if you go to the edge of the map after you burn Timmy’s picture? Do you just hit the wall without the animation?

[@FetidBobo]

Smack dat invisible wall haha, at least from where I tried it - maybe, but probably not, different results depending on where you do it.

[@RyomenSukuna20_20]

nice vid

[@FetidBobo]

ty~

[@xXD3athMin3rXxTheGamerBros]

Any tips to take down that boss baby girl thing me and my mate are struggling hard and we have like 3 sticky explosives (we learnt to craft them from your video, thanks) a lot of arrow but we’re still struggling to take it down.

[@FetidBobo]

If you're on normal you can use fire (not so great on hard mode though). Also if you want you can craft a spear bag (new item), can see recipe by just hovering mouse over rabbit or boar skin on the craft mat cog. Important to bring medicine of course lol. My suggestion is when you trigger the scene have your team mate start pounding her with attacks, and then before she finally gets out of animation start dropping bombs and stuff at her.

[@xXD3athMin3rXxTheGamerBros]

Fetid Bobo Awesome! I’ll try that tomorrow and tell you how it works out thanks!! :)

[@FetidBobo]

Oh get the cassette player (easy to get on Yacht) or if you already have you can both start it playing and you'll get energy back if you need it. I mean sometimes you get there and your energy is slow, the cassette will increase it - that can be helpful :)

[@xXD3athMin3rXxTheGamerBros]

Fetid Bobo awesome going into battle now

[@FetidBobo]

Good luck! Let me know how it goes :D

[@RyomenSukuna20_20]

hey fetid its me from your discord

[@zaadworks]

Nice, now i can buy the game... *see the new price* oh no...

[@FetidBobo]

haha, yeah it's released now so they bumped it up :O!! But they do have sales, at least when it was in beta, so I imagine you could wait for a nice sale. I like this website for game sale info: isthereanydeal.com/search/?q=the+forest#/page:game/info?plain=theforest

[@bogibogi1237]

What happens if you take the boat after the ending can you escape?

[@FetidBobo]

Good question, and it seems like you just hit the invisible wall (the image is also gone from the inventory).

[@bogibogi1237]

Fetid Bobo hmm had a feeling that would happen

[@WendigoJr]

This videos music is so sad...

[@FetidBobo]

Sad as in you don't like it or sad like.. just somber freaking music lol

[@WendigoJr]

I like it Its really relaxing

[@FetidBobo]

Wewt! haha :P ty ~

[@Grom301]

ModAPI stopped working for me since the new update and its not the usual one where you just have to update it

[@FetidBobo]

Have you downloaded the most recent version from the website listed in the description? That one is working for me, even now (just used it like 15 mins ago making a video).

[@Grom301]

when i open ModApi a window pops up saying "Enter Gamepath" I did that but it doesnt let me press continue to fix that

[@FetidBobo]

It's possible you have the forest installed in a location separate from The Forest, or perhaps a non-steam version of The Forest (pirated, which ModAPI isn't designed to work for out of the box). If there is a path issue then I would check the userConfiguration.xml located in the modapi folder configs (open with text editor of your choice, save as same format though). Down near the bottom you can see what path it's pointing to and fix it if wrong (there should be one for steam and one for the forest.

[@Grom301]

everything seems fine and it goes to the right folder. Would uninstalling ModApi then downloading it again do anything?

[@FetidBobo]

It's possible that your anti virus is blocking it because of the way it looks (the program inserts itself into a .dll, that looks really bad to an AV lol). Could delete it and then get a new one (or just extract it from the archive again) and see if your AV pops any message up or any file vanishes while trying to launch it.

[@kfx96]

What’s the name of the song throughout most of the video

[@FetidBobo]

I assume you mean the ambient music and not the intro so here are the tracks I pulled (with permission lol) from player.epidemicsound.com/ to use in the video: ES_A Rising Sun - Alan Ellis ES_Bigtooth Aspen - Martin Gauffin ES_Fragments 1 - Johannes Bornlöf ES_In Dreams - Hushed ES_Lanterns - Hushed ES_So Small - Sindrandi ES_Still Life - Hushed ES_Looking For More - Alan Ellis ES_Soft Grains - Sum Wave ES_The Weight Of Water - Alan Ellis ES_Winds And Oceans - Alan Ellis Keep in mind if you went into the spoiler section that there were two tracks (that I can recall) that are from The Forest itself, the credit song being one and the other I wont say where just in case you didn't go to that part.

[@kfx96]

Thanks!

[@Desitt]

They removed the calorie system?

[@FetidBobo]

In effect, for non-hardcore survival, it's not entirely gone but if all you care about is strength then it's just eat whatever to have a net positive (have energy in you) and no "bad" calorie. However if you're thinking about losing or gaining weight or playing in hard survival you'll have to be concerned as was before.

[@noufnouf8504]

Full game price plz

[@FetidBobo]

isthereanydeal.com/search/?q=the+forest#/page:game/info?plain=theforest Looks like currently $20, but they have a history of following steam sales. The other stores will be updated to 20 soon (it's not 14 right now)

[@noufnouf8504]

Oo its cheap

[@supbrovang2275]

If u can make boats, why can't u just sail off the island if we're real life?

[@luis1856]

many spoilers in this one...

[@FetidBobo]

They should be tucked in the back, but yeah.. if you watch till the end then you know the end haha

[@datalore3276]

Can I ask you how long it took you to complete the story ? I know people will say the game never finishes because you build bases etc but a game to me finishs once you complete the story I could never understand why people would play a game to build bases that have no point to them aka you build a base and defend it because you need survive while doing the story ....Once the story has finished whats the point in sitting in your base with nothing to do ?

[@FetidBobo]

If you had no guide or limited guide, and were not naturally skilled at the game / or playing hard mode, I would guess that the game would likely take around 10+ hours to complete with a general but not 100% focus on ending it. 20-30, maybe, if you were relaxed but wanted to finish the game and I can't see it taking longer unless you were extremely cautious, scared, or not naturally good at the game. You'd build up some basic amenities and begin wandering around, if you were brave you'd go far but still have to build up supplies every so often and if you were a normal person you'd come back to base almost each night. Then cave spelunking you'd build up supplies go down and explore, find some interesting things and come back out and build up more supplies. This process I imagine would take about 10 hours, if you were neither "bad" or "great" at games. There are a number of stories (told passively through placement of items and bodies, not active through dialog or quest text) and areas that are not required to beat the game that you can visit, having little information on what you're supposed to do would mean you might get more just out of the act of exploring. I would say that if you don't know where the things you need are that it's more likely you'll be going 10+, like this one isn't much of spoiler but you'll need the rebreather to go into some caves but now where do you get it.. there's about 10 different caves.. and if you don't look around you might even miss it.. hmmm.... :) This site may interest you: howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=18962 (I think it polls real user opinions, not steam data - so bring some salt just in case lol) For myself having known where everything is I could probably bee-line all the tasks and complete it under 30 minutes on hard mode and not in some sort of cheesy glitch way but just doing the tasks in order ("speed run"), definitely so if it was on normal mode (hard mode closer to that time because I would try not to die, or might die lol). You get a lot more value out of the game if you don't rush the story and enjoy some base building and outposts here and there. If the only thing you want out of the game is the story then it'll relate to how well informed you are (where important stuff is) and how good you are at the combat. Hopefully that helped, tried to give an honest opinion on duration - I definitely have that playstyle of: the just started fall out 4 "gotta find my son-- oh wait I can do everything else first, good bye son I'll see you in 400 hours".

[@datalore3276]

Just to add something ....I just watched a video posted in 2016 with the same ending so seems weird that since 2016 till now the game has only been made to look *slightly* better nothing to justify 2 years of beta so this also goes against my idea of a game .....WTF happened to a game being made then released and everyone can start to play them at the same time and if there are problems they patch it (they used to be able to release games with very little errors). Beta should be used to test the core mechanics this seems to have been a completed game years ago including story and story items and just patched over and over until they release it years later

[@killerkuerbis6845]

Data Lore what do you think people did before there was an ending/story?

[@datalore3276]

thx for answering ..Like i said i watched your build videos and they are entertaining and shows what can be done keep up the good work.

[@FetidBobo]

There was a story patch long ago but that was just to give early access players a taste and a sort of thanks for hanging out, I do update videos each time so if you wanted you can watch them to see "what the hell they were doing" lol. They've added a lot of polish, fixed loads of bugs, added items, systems, and buildings over that time period - the first partial ending was just sort of a "you've been playing this for a year and we want you to know there is actually an end, thanks for being part of our early access". I suppose you might not like how long it was in early access, that's fair certaintly, but I mean I paid $10 and I've got a pretty bug free game that I easily got $10 worth of my time out of. Early access journey was worth it to me. The whole early access thing now days is allowing small teams to open up the dev process to the community in part, we're all half listened to unpaid team members (half because if they fully listen to players then games would always be a mess, too many contradicting opinions lol). I can see how people would feel negative about this aspect, but I also think its quite fun to be part of the development. Also how it can empower smaller teams to make much bigger projects than they would otherwise be able to make. It of course allows teams to create vaporware and run away with money - as we've seen with many under-delivered over-promised early access dumpster fires, but that wasn't this game. They've constantly delivered patches on time and now have released the game (with comment that they'll support it further into the future and add VR support).
