Not all defensive structures inSons of the Forestare strong enough to protect the base. While some slow down the mutants and cannibals, others fail to remove any real threat. But a spiked wall can change the game – it can be the unbreakable barrier between the shelter and the wilderness. And, for the good news, this guide teaches how to build one. Here’s how toget basic and advanced spiked wallsinSons of the Forest.

How to Build a Basic Spiked Wall

A basic spiked wall is a Defensive Wall reinforced with sharpened sticks and rocks. To get one, drive a few sticks down to the soil behinda normal log walland turn them into diagonal spikes by chopping the heads with an axe. Finally, solidify them with rocks.

Here’s the step-by-step process:

To have two rows of spikes on a single wall, build a wooden stand behind the wall—have a full log over two short ones—and force the sticks into it. Repeat the chopping and reinforcing process for the second row to have a double-spiked defensive structure.

Spikes will point in the direction that the player is looking while cutting the sticks. To angle them, aim toward the desired direction before axing.

How to Build an Advanced Spiked Wall

An advanced spiked wall is a ramp with spears supported by a wooden staircase. To build one, place sticks all over a ramp that facesaway from the baseand turn them into spikes. Finally, add a few steps to the other side and strengthen the structure with rocks.

The following is the step-by-step recipe for a spiked ramp:

Players might not be able to drill sticks into ramps or logs. In that case, they must first place one on the ground—near the structure—and then drag the snap point (the white cursor) onto the ramp or log.
