Are you ready to take on the challenge of surviving 99 Nights in the Forest? While it may seem daunting, getting into the groove of rescuing children and crafting items will make the time fly. This guide is designed to equip you with the knowledge needed for early and mid-to-late game success. Let’s dive into the essentials of surviving and thriving in this immersive world.
This comprehensive guide draws from extensive gameplay experience, and I’m excited to share valuable strategies that have helped many players succeed.
Your Beginner’s Guide to 99 Nights in the Forest
Let’s get started with some essential advice for navigating the early to mid-game:
- Fire & Fuel: Your campfire creates a safety zone that keeps the Deer monster at bay. Regularly upgrade your campfire with Wood, Coal, Gasoline, and other fuel types to dispel fog, allowing access to more areas. This is crucial for finding children to rescue and discovering better loot.
- Deer Monster Awareness: The Deer is vulnerable only to your flashlight and appears at night. Avoid engaging it directly, as it cannot be harmed. Shine your flashlight to keep it at bay, and if necessary, sprint to safety. It’s wise to gather resources at night but stay cautious.
- Crafting & Cultist Attacks: Use the crafting bench for valuable items from essential resources like Wood, Bolts/Scrap, and later, Cultist Amulets. Prepare for Cultist attacks every few days and prioritize defeating the Crossbow Cultists, as they pose a greater threat. Engage them strategically—bear traps are a helpful tool!
- Rescue Missions: Rescuing children increases the number of days that pass at night. Use the bulletin board to locate them and follow the directions during the day or at the end of the night. Many times, you’ll need to defeat wild animals to retrieve the children.
- Children, Beds & Days: Rescuing kids and building beds are vital for speeding up game progression. Each child and bed increases the number of days that can pass. Gather resources for beds early to maximize days.
- Exploration is Key: Regularly explore your surroundings, looking for camps, sheds, or ruins. These locations often hide valuable resources. Exploring at night can be risky but use your flashlight wisely to ward off The Deer.
Mid to Late Game Tips
Once you’ve established your base, here’s how to maintain your advantage for the mid to late game:
- Defend Your Base: Construct barriers using Saplings or Shelves. Shelves are easy to make and create a physical barrier, while Saplings can grow into defensive trees.
- Pelt Trading: The Pelt Trader will frequently visit, eager to exchange rare pelts and items for valuable upgrades. Invest in better gear to facilitate resource gathering and survival.
- Store Dry Fuel: Always stock up on logs ahead of rain. Keeping your wood dry is crucial for maintaining a strong campfire level, especially when you need it most.
- Harvest Seeds: Collect flowers and seeds during your explorations. Engaging with the Fairy can lead to valuable berry spawns, increasing your food options and survival chances.
- Optimal Crafting Choices: Prioritize crafting items that enhance your gameplay experience and effectiveness, such as upgraded storage or efficient weapons.
