Is Kelvin Helpful in Sons of the Forest?

You can use six unique commands to control Kelvin in Sons of the Forest. All these commands should be written inside the notepad and then given to the NPC:

  • Follow me
  • Get 
  • Build
  • Stay
  • Take a break
  • Clear 

If you use these commands correctly, Kelvin will be helpful from the beginning to the late game’s stages. He can help you build the first shelter and gather resources to craft something cool. Even though it is pretty challenging to evaluate this, it seems that two of the best commands are “Get” and “Clear.” 

The clear command forces Kelvin to remove trees and clear the island in the specific range from 5 to 20 meters. Using the command “Get,” you can ask Kelvin to bring you any resource, from sticks to food. 

Also, don’t forget to give Kelvin a break. If he works too hard, he might get injured or demotivated, and this will decrease his effectiveness.

That’s it with Kelvin in Sons of the Forest. This NPC plays a vital role from the beginning to the end of the storyline. Moreover, he can be easily used in multiplayer.
