Fight Demons tattoo Sons of the Forest

The “Fight Demons” tattoo appears at the start of the game and is part of the Sons of the Forest gameplay. Is it symbolic of anything?

What is the “Fight Demons” Tattoo in Sons of the Forest?

Despite its emphasis on gameplay, Sons of the Forest has a surprising amount of lore to sift through. You could probably play the game without thinking about its lore and be perfectly fine, but the information on Sahara Therapeutics and PuffCorp is quite interesting to sift through.

The tattoo first appears when you first board the helicopter and learn about the three people who have gone missing on the mysterious island where you are about to survive. Your character will pull up their sleeve shortly before the crash and reveal the tattoo in question, with seemingly no information on it for quite some time.

While the game never directly answers this question, there are a few things we can deduce. One more direct reference is the enemies known as Demons that appear as you enter the volcanic caves at the end of the game. This is because their skin can be burned by using the cross, an item you may have obtained early on. It’s possible that this tattoo refers to those enemies, as staying on the island and continuing to “Fight Demons” is an option.

Another possibility is that it’s simply talking about fighting “demons” in the form of cannibals scattered across the island. This would be a lot simpler, which isn’t Endnight’s style (as evidenced by the ending), but it could explain why the tattoo is never mentioned again.

While this article does not provide a definitive answer, we hope it has helped you to clear up some questions about the “Fight Demons” tattoo in Sons of the Forest.
