Peaceful mode

[GenZ]

I was just wondering. I have been playing on peaceful mode to get a layout of the map and to check out building aspects of the game. I wanted to go and explore the caves and the points of interest but the caves freak me out. And I remember from the previous forest that there was a glitch that still had enemies spawn in caves even on peaceful mode. Do we know if that is still a thing or if there are no enemies?

I havent tried it yet but i would recommend you save right before entering so if you get scared you can exit and post your experience so others can know.

[( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )]

there are no npcs that can hurt you on peaceful, but sound effects that scare you

No enemies but still creepy.

There is no peacful mode in Sons of the Forest ...
that Individual setting, where you could set it to "NO ENEMIES" means only, that your base will not beeing attacked, everything else is the same ...
so you could set all other settings to the one, which makes the game easier ...

I changed my game from normal, which was a nightmare after day 20 , waves after waves attacked my base and in the wood I was chased from 4-7 apes ...
even , when I changed to that NO ENEMIES, low damage etc. there are still a lot of enemies around , of course now I am able to kill most of them after 2-3 hits, but there are still a lot here ... apart your base, will be enemy free :-)

Could be because I changed it after day 20, but as I said, since that change , no enemies at my home base and beeing able to kill all others with 2-3 hits ... at normal settings, I needed 3-10 hits to kill some and was most of the time near death ...

Peaceful mode wont spawn any enemies. In the caves you can still find Sluggys because they simply block progression until you blow them up, but they cant harm you. And you'll see a Twins on the otherside of a glass window but you cant interact with them

There is literally a peaceful mode.

There are no enemies at all in that mode. None in camps. None in caves. I think sharks are the only exception, they still might be around the floating life raft.

The sharks are in the water but I'm not sure they actually attack. They jump around.

Good to know guys, I will check it out tonight

[GenZ]

Tested it out last night. Went into the cave with the rope gun and no enemies but the sluggy thing still freaked me out

Go in and find out and let us know.

I'll never use that mode, so I'll never know for myself.

aside the sluggys nothing will spawn. and since there is no final boss this time even that wont happen unlike old game where you had to fight final boss even on peaceful.

the sluggys are simple scripted blockers for cave paths. they cannot attack you at all. and 1 explosive or grenade kills them. they cannot even move.

sharks count as animals so these will spawn regardless. but aside the liferaft encounter there is no sharks to worry about anywhere.

I was playing on peaceful trying to get the pistol and the shark did bite me but only once lmaoooo so yes they DO attack

There are no enemies in peaceful mode but the end boss.
You can still die by environmental threats though.
Also, you may encounter a specific mutant in the caves, but it can't hurt you if you don't come too close.
