Detailed tips for surviving 99 nights in 99 Nights in the Forest

Surviving the treacherous nights of Deer, Owls, and Followers in 99 Nights in the Forest Roblox requires careful planning. This guide will help you delve into resource management strategies, building priorities, and how to effectively deal with each type of enemy.

 

I. Initial stage

Your success or failure depends on how you utilize these first days.

 

1. The Principle of Fire and Fuel

1. Survival Priority: Campfire is your only source of life and safety. Making sure the fire never goes out is crucial, as it restores HP and prevents certain entities from entering your safe zone.
2. Starting Action: Immediately chop down 1-2 trees to refuel. Then, prioritize searching nearby buildings to collect items that can be used as auxiliary fuel (wooden chairs, coal, gasoline).

2. Collection and exchange strategy

1. Take Advantage of Chests: Always open common chests in buildings. Not only do they provide items, but they also increase your chances of getting free auxiliary upgrades from the Pelt Trader.
2. Trade Preparation: Hunt rabbits for Rabbit's Foot before the Skin Trader first appears on Day 2.
3. Upgrade Order: Prioritize upgrading the Good Axe with the Rabbit Foot. The ability to chop trees faster will solve the core resource problem. The Good Sack is a second choice for better inventory management. The Old Flashlight is not necessary to buy, as flashlights are easy to find in the game.

 

3. Choose character class

1. No Need to Spend Too Much: For beginners, the Scavenger Class with only 25 Diamonds is effective enough. The advantage of spacious inventory space helps players collect more on each trip.
2. Earn Diamonds: Collect Diamonds by completing achievements, reaching milestones, or redeeming codes (if applicable). Use Diamonds later to purchase premium Classes or perform talent rerolls.

II. Tips for building bases and managing resources

A smart base saves players time and resources in the long run.

1. Essential works

 

Project	Ingredient	Benefit
Map	3 Wood	Helps locate and find your way back to camp quickly. Saves fuel significantly because there is no need to use a campfire as a beacon.
Old Bed	Usually Wood/Fabric	Provides a +1 multiplier to the day counter. This is a required build to speed up game progress to the 99 day mark.
Crafting Table Level 2	Wood, Stone, etc.	Unlock crafting recipes for advanced weapons and tools, a stepping stone to fend off stronger invasions.
Anvil	Metal/Stone	Allows crafting Bandages and metal tools.

2. Sustainable and defensive timber strategy

1. Replanting Rule: Never cut a tree without replanting saplings. This is the most common mistake, leading to depletion of the timber resource at a later stage.
2. Base Defense: Plant saplings in a tight, closed circle around the campfire. This circle acts as a bio-defense barrier, effectively slowing and stopping Cultist attacks.

 

III. Fighting and coping

Entity	Characteristic	Detailed Countermeasures
The Deer	Massive damage, causes terrifying jumpscare.	Requires strong weapons (rifles, upgraded axes) for quick kills. Should not be engaged if health and vision are low.
The Owl	Appears after Night 5. Cannot be killed with normal weapons. Increases speed when chasing.	A flashlight is a must. Shine a bright light directly at it to stun it and buy time to escape. If you don't have a flashlight, keep your distance and stay within the safety of the campfire.
The Ram	New enemy in the Volcano Biome. Charges and deals damage and destruction.	When you hear a snort, run at an angle and put a large object (building, rock) between you and it to block its attack. Be careful: it can destroy your hedgerows.
Cultists	Group attack on the camp.	Need to prepare defensive weapons (defense towers, traps) and effective personal weapons. This is the time to use Bandages to quickly revive teammates.

As the nights get tougher, knowing how to handle each threat is important.

1. Health management

1. Bandages: Mainly used to revive teammates due to increasing crafting cost.
2. Medkits: Used to heal yourself in dire situations. Be economical and prioritize natural HP recovery by the campfire after minor skirmishes.

IV. Tips to Improve and Maintain Life

1. Find Dino Kid: Once you have the map, find the NPC Dino Kid. This NPC often offers quests or valuable items in exchange.
2. Fuel Saving: It is recommended that you use the Map to navigate instead of burning too much fuel to light the way back to camp.
3. Practice is key: Initially, accept death and focus on mastering the rules and resource priorities. Experience will help you get through the 99 nights more easily.
