One of the many enemies you will face in Sons of the Forest are demons. Don’t worry, these are endgame enemies, but that doesn’t make them any less scary. You will find them in lava caves, so they have a good immunity to lava. These enemies are quite skinny and their fingers are fused to their hands. Similarly, their toes are fused. But surprisingly, there is an easy way to deal with them. So, here’s how you can kill demons in Sons of the Forest.

The only way to kill demons is to burn them with a cross. When you first receive a cross, you may not be sure how to use it. Because it is too small and weak looking weapon to be used against most enemies. But that’s the catch, against most enemies except one, it can be useless. And those enemies are Demons. Here’s what you should do when you encounter a demon:
- Put on the cross by pressing I to open inventory. If you’ve added it to your bag, you can even pop it in quickly.
- As soon as the demon rushes at you, attack him with a cross.
- This will start to burn it and you will even hear them squeal.
- It won’t kill him yet, the demon might fall for a while. But the demon still has a bit of a fight left.
- You must attack the demon with a cross at least three times to completely defeat it.
A tip that should help you kill him faster is that you should try to be close to him. Demons have a very good attack range. But you won’t be able to attack them from afar. Therefore, being closer to one of them, you will finish it faster.
Where to find a cross to defeat demons?
You can find the Cross in the northeast bunker on the island off the coast. Make sure you get the maintenance keycard from maintenance hatch A before doing this. Since it will be needed to access the bunker. I suggest you read our detailed guide on how to receive the Cross.
