Description
Kelvin, the super helpful NPC from Sons of the Forest, is a must have in your game. However, if he takes damage and dies, he won't come back to life, at least not officially in-game, but there is a way to revive Kelvin if you're willing to dig into your save files and make changes. In this step by step guide, we will show you how to resurrect Kelvin in Sons of the Forest. Step 1. Create a new save location Before you begin, it is recommended that you create a new save location in case you make a mistake during the process.
Step 2. Access the backup files
Open Windows Explorer and paste the following into the top bar:
Click on the directory with the long number. You will see other directories with long numbers.
Step 3. Find the latest directory
Click the directory with the most recent modification date.
Step 4. Open GameStateSaveData.json in Wordpad
In the directory, double-click the GameStateSaveData.json file. When prompted to choose a program to open, choose Wordpad.
Step 5. Change "IsRobbyDead" from True to False
Use CTRL-F to open the search box and search for "IsRobbyDead\": true. Replace :true with :false.
Step 6. Open SaveData.json in Wordpad
Double-click the SaveData.json file, open it in Wordpad, and use CTRL-F to open the search box.
Step 7. Change "Status" from 6 to 2
Look for this string: "TypeId\":9. Don't change this string, but look a bit further down \”State\”:6 and change it to \”State\”:2
Step 8. Modify Kelvin's Health
Use CTRL-F again and search for "Health":0. Replace the first 0 with 100.
Step 9. Save the file
Finally, exit and save the file.
Step 10. Open the saved game
Now when you open the save game, Kelvin should be alive again.
Resurrecting Kelvin in Sons of the Forest is a simple process. All you need to do is browse your save files, make a few changes, and save the file. With these steps, you'll have Kelvin back to help you in no time. Remember to create a new save slot before starting the process, just in case something goes wrong.
