In 99 Nights in the Forest, keys are crucial items that unlock the caves where the missing children are trapped. Without these keys, you won’t be able to rescue the kids and progress in the game. Finding keys isn’t as simple as picking them up—they’re rewards dropped by powerful enemies guarding each cave. This guide will explain exactly how to find keys and what you need to do to get them. Check out 99 Nights in the Forest Equipment Guide, and Friendly mobs guide in the game.

What Are Keys Used For?

Keys in 99 Nights in the Forest are used to unlock cave entrances where the missing children are kept. There are four keys total, each tied to a different cave and child. Each key corresponds to a specific enemy you must defeat before you can enter the cave.

How to Obtain Keys

Keys are dropped by the enemies guarding the caves. To get each key, you must locate the cave’s entrance and defeat the mobs blocking it. Here’s how:

  • Locate the Cave Entrance Each cave is located further away from your base than the last. Use your map and look for marked entrances or search areas where enemies are gathered.
  • Collect the Key from Defeated Enemies After defeating the cave’s guardians, the key they drop will appear on the ground. Walk over it to pick it up.
  • Unlock the Cave Door Return to the cave entrance and use the key to open the locked door. Inside, you’ll find the missing child waiting to be rescued.

Defeat the Guarding Mobs:

  • Wolves guard the first cave.
  • Alpha Wolves guard the second cave.
  • Bears guard the third cave.
  • Alpha Bears guard the fourth cave.

What to Do After Getting the Key

Once you have a key and rescue the missing child, carry them back to your base. They’ll set up a tent there, increasing your camp’s presence and marking your progress in the game.


Keys in 99 Nights in the Forest are vital for rescuing the missing children and advancing the story. By locating the caves, defeating the guarding mobs, and collecting the keys, you unlock new areas and objectives. Stay prepared, be patient, and use this guide to successfully find all the keys and save the kids trapped in the forest.
