Sons of the Forest got an update a few days ago on the 22nd of June. It brought us a ton of new content, including a new ending and a brand-new final boss fight. You might get a bit intimidated by the new boss, but don’t worry, we’ve got you.
Here's what to expect! In Sons of The Forest, there are countless different enemies and mutants, all overshadowed by the final boss, Jianyu Zhang. In this guide, we'll reveal how you can find and defeat the final boss in SOTF.
As mentioned before, the new boss appears before the new ending. Firstly, you need to go through the final cave marked on the map below. You will need to get past the Demon Boss at the end of the cave. Then you will go through a passage at the end of the cave and reach a golden cube. A cut scene will be triggered, and you will see a futuristic city.
After that, you will jump into another cutscene on a beach where you are waiting for rescue. As the two helicopters are landing, a large mutant will emerge from the ground and grab and destroy one of them. Timmy will try to attack it, but it will defeat him, and now you need to kill it.

The boss is a large mutant with a mouth in the middle of its abdomen, a lot of health, and causes tremendous damage. It can produce smaller mutants and has various melee and ranged attacks. The fight is difficult, but there are tips to make it easier.
The most important thing is to bring enough ammunition and some heavy weapons. Some explosives will also be helpful. High-damage weapons will be essential as well. For example, a shotgun or the new rifle that was added in the last update. The shotgun is perfect for killing the smaller mutants, and the rifle will work best for damaging the boss from afar. The explosives deal a lot of damage and can stun the boss for a little while. It is a good idea to use them at the start to damage the boss as much as possible.
We also recommend killing off the spider mutants first. They will be pretty annoying while you fight the boss, so it’s best to get rid of them as fast as possible. You can take them a bit further from the boss and kill them with your shotgun.
And the last, but not least, is to always expect the boss to attack. The mutant has mainly melee attacks, but if you try to run away, it will leap at you, charge you or throw boulders at you. Shooting from afar is definitely better than fighting up close, but it is not entirely safe, so run around to not get hit.
