In 99 Nights in the Forest, your goal is simple but intense — survive for 99 nights in a dangerous forest filled with threats, mystery, and hidden objectives. While the name might suggest a full 99-day grind, the game gives you tools to shorten this journey if you play smart. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to complete all 99 days, find the missing children, and finish the game with ease.
What Is 99 Nights in the Forest?
99 Nights in the Forest is a survival-based Roblox game where players must gather resources, build a strong base, fend off enemies, and rescue missing children. The more you build and complete side objectives (like rescuing children and placing beds), the faster the days pass thanks to time multipliers. Expect a mix of combat, crafting, exploration, and base-building, with some serious challenges during nighttime attacks. But with good planning, you’ll make it to day 100 in no time.
How to Get Started: Surviving Your First Few Days
Day 1-5 Tips:
- When you spawn, use your Old Axe to chop down trees for wood and store them in your Old Sack.
- Wood is essential for fueling your campfire, crafting, and building new tools.
- Eat any food you find on the ground (press E to eat) to maintain your hunger bar.
- Kill bunnies for items like Bunny Foot, which you can exchange in quests to get better tools (e.g., Good Axe, Flashlight, Sack).
Crafting Essentials:
- Always craft weapons early, such as spears or axes. These are crucial once nighttime enemies start appearing.
- Use wood and scrap (which you get from grinding down items like fans) to craft better gear and tools.
Key Milestones in the Game
Rescuing Children & Speeding Up Time:
- You’ll find four missing children across the map. Each one you rescue speeds up time progression by 2 days per night.
- Old Beds also help. Place one to get a +1 day boost each night. Beds and shelves also help you store and organize items more efficiently.
Nighttime Combat:
- Enemies get more dangerous as time goes on.
- Make sure to return to your campfire before night begins, or risk dying.
- Flashlights can scare away animals like deer.
- Conserve ammo — don’t waste bullets on bunnies or easy enemies. Save it for raids at night.
Important Gear to Get:
- Sundial – shows remaining time for day and night.
- Compass – helps you stay oriented and navigate the map.
- Lightning Rod – protects you from random lightning strikes that occur mid-game.
- Cutlass Gems – these are used to unlock high-tier crafting like Ammo Crates and better gear.
Late Game Strategy (Day 30+)
- By now, your base should be stocked with essentials: Ammo Crate, extra guns, fuel, and multiple beds.
- Keep a healthy rotation of food, scrap, and tools. Store backup gear in case of emergencies.
- Explore the entire map — don’t ignore unexplored areas. Hidden chests often contain bandages, ammo, or armor.
- When nighttime raids start including enemies with crossbows, use elevation and obstacles to avoid getting hit while you counterattack.
- Continue fueling your campfire and saving resources for late-game waves.
Surviving to Night 100
- Stick to this routine: explore by day, fuel up and return to base by night.
- As enemies become stronger, don’t fight every night unless you’re fully prepared — sometimes survival means hiding or retreating.
- Make sure your teammates know the basics or be prepared to carry the team if they don’t.
- Keep upgrading your crafting benches and using Cutlass Gems to build higher-tier items like ammo crates and defenses.
At night 100, the final wave will test everything you’ve built. If you’ve been smart with resources and consistent with upgrades, you’ll be ready.
99 Nights in the Forest isn’t just about surviving — it’s about planning, adapting, and staying ahead of the dangers that grow with each night. From gathering your first logs to crafting the final defense tools, every decision counts. Use this guide to make the most of every day, and you’ll find yourself reaching that 100-day milestone with confidence. Good luck out there.
