What happens if you kill the Mutant Girl in Sons of The Forest?

While playing Sons of the Forest, you might come across a peculiar sight: a woman in a bathing suit just walking around without a care in freezing cold temperatures. But the strangest part is that she has three arms and three legs. Is she friend or foe? Here’s our Sons of the Forest guide to help explain what happens if you kill the Mutant Girl, Virginia, in the game.

What happens if you kill Virginia, the Mutant Girl, in Sons of the Forest

Virginia is the name of the Mutant Girl in Sons of the Forest. She shows up early in the campaign, around the second day after you crash land. In fact, you’ll stumble upon her near the helicopter crash site. As you approach, she’ll raise her hands to fend you off, though she’ll end up running away. Here’s the thing: when you first see her, you won’t really know if she’s a friend or foe. And, because the island is crawling with mutant hordes, you might think that she’s just like them.

There’s a good chance that this will lead to a chase and some player might accidentally hit her. So, what happens if you attack or kill Virginia in Sons of the Forest? Well, there are a few outcomes:

• If you attack her a few times, she’ll drop to a wounded state, though she can be revived. She will still continue to escape, though.
• If you end up killing her, then she’s gone. She and Kelvin are similar in that they’ll be permanently dead if you decide to be cruel.

If you don’t kill her and you manage to get on her good graces, Virginia can actually become a companion. She’s even better than Kelvin since she can wield weapons to take out your foes.
