The Rebreather in The Forest is an important item to advance in the story and necessary to get to the underwater Caves and important items such as the modern bow.
Our guide for the Rebreather in The Forest tells you everything you need to know about the useful item: where to find it, what you can do with it, and why it's an essential part of your gear.
The Rebreather is generally not difficult to find. Only the cave entrance to cave 5, where the equipment is located, is a bit narrow and therefore easy to miss. It is located in the southwest of the island.
How to get to the cave: It is best to start from the peninsula in the very southwest of the island and walk straight north from there. Keep an eye out for posted totems in the forest. Once you have discovered this, you are very close to a small rock face. There is a small gap in it, which is the entrance to the cave.
Here's where you'll find the Rebreather: Enter the cave through the gap and just walk straight ahead until you come to a first chamber. Two gray mobs are waiting for you inside, but they shouldn't be too difficult to defeat. Kill them and collect the loot in the cave. Then follow the path straight ahead to a wooden wall with a few crosses hanging from it. Destroy the wall and keep running. On the way you will also find a picture of Timmy.
In the next chamber two more gray enemies are waiting for you. There are also a few suitcases lying around to open. These mainly contain cloth. Once you've collected everything, you can rappel down the hole in the middle of the chamber. Keep looking around as you make your way down, slowing down just before you land on the first podium. If you abseil at full speed, you may fall and die.
Once you're all the way down, just keep following the path until you reach the water. In front of the water on the left you can then collect the diving equipment and two more oxygen bottles.
As you may have guessed, the Rebreather allows you to stay underwater for long periods of time without having to surface. With a full oxygen tank, you can stay underwater for a maximum of 300 seconds. You can find more oxygen tanks near the surf spots, right on the beach.
Unlike most of the other items, the Rebreather is mandatory to complete the story. Without it, you will not be able to get into the secret area under the cave that Timmy has to get out of. When you have put on the diving equipment, the diving mask gives you about as much light as a flashlight. Remember that you can only put on the gear while you are on solid ground.
