How to Get Cultist Gem in Snow Biome Update 99 Nights in the Forest Guide

The Snow Biome has brought frost, new enemies, and a chilling secret: the Cultist Gem. This precious artifact is hidden inside a cult-style snowman—and retrieving it unlocks a unique badge and powerful crafting component. Follow these simple steps to claim your Gem before you freeze!

1. Prepare for the Cold

Before hunting the Cultist Gem, make sure you can survive long enough in the Snow Biome:

• Upgrade your campfire to at least Level 3 to extend the map boundary and keep a warm retreat.
• Craft basic warm gear (e.g., Bunny Ear Muffs or Arctic Fox Hat) to slow the cold meter.
• Stock up on carrots—you only need one to unmask the snowman’s secret.

2. Unlock the Snow Biome

• Chop logs and add them to your campfire until the map boundary pushes into snowy terrain.
• Keep upgrading until you reach the cultist snowman’s location (roughly 400–500 m from your base in the white zone).

3. Locate the Cultist Snowman

• In the deep Snow Biome, search for a series of snowmen under pine trees.
• One snowman is missing its carrot nose—that’s your target. It often stands apart or may wear a hooded “cultist” look.

4. Place the Carrot

1. Approach the snowman with your Carrot in hand.
2. Interact (“Use” key) on the snowman’s face to place the carrot into its empty nose slot.
3. Watch the snowman animate as it “accepts” your offering.

5. Claim the Cultist Gem & Badge

• Once the carrot is in place, the Cultist Gem shrinks free of its icy prison.
• A prompt appears—collect the Gem to add it to your inventory.
• You automatically unlock the “Cultist Gem” Mystery Action Badge in your event menu.

So, Carry extra heat sources (torches, flares) in case your warm gear wears down. Work in pairs: one player keeps a campfire burning while the other hunts the snowman. Mark your path with torches or waypoints, so you can retreat before the cold meter depletes your health. Claiming the Cultist Gem is one of the Snow Biome’s most rewarding secrets—both for its rarity and the badge it unlocks. Bundle up, follow this guide, and brave the frost to earn your treasure!
