The volcanic biome update in 99 Nights in the Forest introduced several powerful inferno-themed items, and one of the most interesting among them is the Wildfire Potion. Many players have picked it up but aren’t entirely sure what it does. If you’re wondering how this potion works and why it’s useful, here’s a full breakdown.
What is the Wildfire Potion?
The Wildfire Potion is a consumable item found in the volcano biome, often obtained through common volcano chests or from Inferno Chests after completing the cultist base. Unlike standard potions, it doesn’t provide buffs or healing. Instead, it acts as a fire-based offensive tool.
What Does the Wildfire Potion Do?
When thrown, the Wildfire Potion creates a spreading patch of lava-like “mud” on the ground. Enemies that step into it will take continuous fire damage over time, making it excellent for crowd control or trapping aggressive mobs.
In short, you can think of it as a fiery counterpart to grenades or landmines. Instead of exploding instantly, it leaves behind a burning hazard zone that punishes enemies who walk through it.
How to Use It Effectively
- Area Denial: Throw it at choke points to stop cultists or mobs from rushing you.
- Boss Fights: Use it under slow-moving enemies or bosses to keep stacking damage while you stay at a safe distance.
- Team Support: Coordinate with allies to lure enemies into the burning field for maximum effect.
How to Get the Wildfire Potion
- Common Volcano Chests: These are scattered across the volcanic biome and are the easiest source.
- Inferno Chests: Completing the cultist base can also reward you with Wildfire Potions alongside other inferno gear.
- Cultist Cave (Hell Pit): Sacrifices here sometimes yield inferno items, including potions.
The Wildfire Potion may not look impressive at first, but it’s one of the most practical tools in the volcanic biome in 99 Nights in the Forest. Its ability to create burning zones makes it perfect for crowd control and dealing with waves of enemies. If you’re venturing into dangerous cultist caves or farming Inferno Chests, keeping a few Wildfire Potions in your inventory can give you a big edge.
