If you want to craft a Rain Catcher in Sons of the Forest<\/a>, you’ll need a turtle shell and some other resources. Finding that first Turtle Shell can be a challenge for many new players; however, it’s thankfully not too hard to get your hands on a Turtle Shell if you just know where to look.<\/p>\n

Here’s where to get Turtle Shells in Sons of the Forest so you can make a Rain Catcher for your camp.<\/p>\n

Turtle Shell Locations Sons Of The Forest<\/h2>\n

Turtle shells are one of several resources that turtles drop. (Picture: Endnight Games)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To get a Turtle Shell in Sons of The Forest, you’ll need to find and kill a sea turtle<\/strong>. You can find sea turtles on the game’s beaches, which are quite common. You won’t need to go very far out to find them. In the summer and spring, you may even be able to find them laying turtle eggs, another resource.<\/p>\n

When you kill a turtle, you’ll not only get their shell and possibly find eggs nearby, but you’ll also get meat. Therefore, it’s definitely worth seeking out some turtles, especially early on since they’re a reliable and relatively common food source.<\/p>\n

Note that you’ll only be able to get Turtle Shells from sea turtles; the much rarer freshwater turtles do not offer Turtle Shells when you kill them. Instead, they’ll only give you meat. However, they’re only found in freshwater lakes (as their name implies), so you’re quite unlikely to see them on your search for a sea turtle.<\/p>\n

What Are Turtle Shells Used For In Sons Of The Forest?<\/h2>\n

Turtle Shells are a key ingredient for the Rain Catcher,<\/strong> which will let you collect clean water to drink. This is currently the only use for this particular resource, but it’s an incredibly important one; it’s the best way to get clean water in the game, and you’ll die without it.<\/p>\n

When killing turtles, you’ll get other resources, too, so you’ll also get a lot more than just their shells in the process. You can keep all of these resources in your backpack.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
