Many animals live on the island forest, most of which can be hunted for food and other resources. Although some animals are not hostile, others will attack the player. Boar it is one of those animals that will attack the player if they get too close. Although Boars are territorial, they are also a bit timid and usually prefer to run and hide from the player, especially when wounded.

Forest: The best base locations
The Forest is an amazing survival horror game that has a lot of options to build a great base, but it's important to choose the right location.
Hunting these animals can be a little tricky, but there are some places where players can go to take down a few of these beasts. This guide covers how to find wild boars and what to do with them Forest.
Where to find wild boars
Outside of console commands, you will only find wild boars on the northern half of the island. If you don't have a compass, navigating the island can be difficult. If you are looking for wild boars and have no way of knowing which way you are facing, follow the river towards the mountains. It is quite difficult to survive in the mountainous region because of the cold weather. However, wild boars can and will roam the border of this biome, making them easier to hunt.
For the most part, you can expect to find wild boars in small groups. This is great for getting extra resources. However, these animals are easy to scare, so try to sneak in, preferably with a bow. A boar can be killed quite easily, usually a couple of well-placed shots from a bow or an upgraded spear are enough to bring down a boar.
Advantages of killing wild boars
After you've killed a boar, you can get some useful items from it. If you interact with him once, you will take his skin. Boar hide is required to craft some of the game's more useful items, such as storage bags and a type of armor:
- Warm suits
- Rock bags
- Bags for spears
If you interact with the boar corpse a second time, you will receive two pieces of meat. This meat can be cooked or dried and then consumed to satisfy the player's hunger. The last thing you can take from a boar's body is its head. This slightly dark feature allows players to take animal heads and use them to make a display at their base. Animal heads are cool decorative elements that can be used to decorate a player's base. However, they don't really serve much of a purpose.
Players who like to collect all types of trophies will want to show the heads of every animal in the game when they complete the “Kill All Animal Types and Show Heads” achievement.
