Accompanying with friends, you will experience the feeling of being watched and threatened in a horror setting, having to stay until the 99th night or longer if possible.

“Surviving 99 nights in the forest” seems long at first, but when you start rescuing children and building beds, time passes very quickly. This article will provide complete instructions, from early to mid and late game, so you can have a smooth survival journey.

Early game strategy

Campfire and fuel

• The campfire is the center of the camp and the light around it will ward off Deer monsters.
• Upgrade the campfire by loading fuel such as wood, coal, gasoline… (use a sack to carry more).
• The more you upgrade your fire, the larger the map expands, helping you reach areas to save children hidden in the fog.

Deer Monster

• Deer appear at night and cannot be destroyed.
• Use a flashlight to repel deer, which can be found in abandoned houses, camps,…
• If you are hit by it, you will lose 1/3 of your health, but you can escape if you know how to speed up.

Craft and defend against Cult attacks

• The crafting table lets you create many useful things from 3 main resources: Wood, Bolts/Scrap, Amulets:
  • Wood: Place the log in the crusher.
  • Bolts/Scrap: Place the metal item with the screw icon.
  • Amulet: drops from worshipers every 3 days of attack.
• Focus on destroying Cultists using crossbows first, then melee combat.
• Use Bear Trap to easily kill Cultists in close combat.
• Amulets are used to craft more advanced items.

Rescue children

• Rescuing and returning children to the campfire will help shorten the time in the game (increasing the number of days passed per night).
• Find out the child’s location from the notice board, usually located in an animal den guarded by a wolf or bear.
• Defeat the beast, get the key, put the child on your shoulder and carry it back to the campfire.

Children, beds and number of days

• The main strategy to speed up the game is to rescue children and build Beds. Every child saved and every additional bed built helps time pass faster.
• You can craft a Bed when you upgrade the Crafting Table.

Discover

This activity is very important. You go exploring during the day or early morning to find camps, shacks, abandoned houses, fields… containing resources including fuel, wood, scrap metal, weapons, seeds, and better tools.

Instructions for playing 99 Nights in the Forest from mid to late game

Build a wall around the base to protect it

• Deer and Cult monsters can be stopped by:
  • Plant saplings around the campfire (it takes 1-2 nights for the tree to grow, making it easier to find).
  • Or build shelves – costs 2 Scraps each (opens at Crafting Table level 2).
• When the barrier is successful, the enemy cannot access the base for 99 nights.

Trade with fur traders

• Appears every few days, he needs: Rabbit Foot, Wolf Pelt, Alpha Wolf Pelt, Bear Pelt…
• Exchange animal skins to receive powerful upgrades: better bags, axes, flashlights, armor, guns,…
• Alpha Wolves and bears are located far from the camp, requiring a campfire upgrade to reach the den containing them (usually near the second youngest den).
• Store furs in camp or outdoors when it rains for later use.

Preserve Wood when it rains

• Rain reduces the level of campfires and makes the wood wet, making it unusable for fuel.
• Stock up on wood early and use the Shelf or Lumber Store when it rains (open at Crafting Table 2) to keep wood dry and available for use.

Seeds and Fairies

• Pick up flowers and seeds while expanding the map.
• Find the Fairy on the right of the Kid notice board, use the seed to:
  • Buy more strawberry growing locations → helps cure hunger when exploring.
  • Or buy another flower/seed spawn point.
• Prioritize buying berries from Fairy, unless you find too many flower seed boxes.

Best crafting upgrade

The game is not specifically listed, but the advice is that you should:

• Prioritize upgrading the Crafting Table.
• Focus on long-term survival items: bags, weapons, flashlights, traps, resource storage,…

The best items to craft in 99 Nights in the Forest by crafting table level

Map, tree plot (level 1 crafting table)

• Map: Helps you easily review unexplored places – very useful throughout the game.
• Planting Umbrellas: Helps you maintain a steady supply of food, especially when choosing a permanent barrier strategy around a campfire.

Bed (Craft table for all levels)

• Each level of the crafting table can create additional beds.
• Helps increase the number of days that pass faster, supporting the completion of 99 nights quickly.

Dry wood storage shelf, Shield shelf (Level 2 crafting table)

• Dry wood storage shelf: Keeps wood from getting wet in the rain, always ready to use as fuel.
• Barrier shelf: Great material for barricading campfire strategies, blocking Deer monsters and Cults.

Biofuel manufacturing machine, Lightning rod (Level 3 manufacturing table)

• Biofuel generator: Gives more powerful fuel, helps upgrade campfires quickly and expands the map to remote areas. There’s better loot and more children to rescue.
• Lightning rod: Protects the base during thunderstorms, avoids being struck by lightning when near the campfire.

Ammo Box, Portal (Level 4 Crafting Table)

• Ammo Box: Increases the ability to use guns and snipers more often, very useful when needing to take down enemies quickly without risking close combat.
• Teleportation portal: Used when you have upgraded the campfire high enough and opened most of the map. Helps you move quickly between distant areas, but requires 2 players to activate.

The strongest character classes in 99 Nights in the Forest

The character class ranking list of 99 Nights in the Forest will analyze in detail the strongest character classes in the game:

• Lumberjack (Woodcutter): Comprehensively useful in many situations.
• Ranger (Archer/Scout): Suitable for playing “speed run” (running quickly through the game).
• Cook (Chef): Supports the team with the ability to restore Hunger.

Meanwhile, Assassin is technically the strongest class, but the cost to unlock is too high, requiring a lot of grinding or using Robux, so it’s not really feasible for most players.

In addition, the other upgrades in the game are also very good and each brings its own benefits, but the character classes listed above are the most powerful.

How to unlock Class in 99 Nights in the Forest

All classes are unlocked with Diamonds. This currency can be earned in many ways:

• Complete Badges and Achievements
• Join the event
• Found randomly in chests while playing

Class can be purchased at the Daily Shop. However, not all classes are always present. The store resets every 24 hours, but you can reroll if you want a specific class. The first reroll is free, from the next time, each reroll will cost 99 Robux. So it’s best to wait patiently.

How to upgrade class in 99 Nights in the Forest

Each class can be upgraded. When you buy a class, level 1 skill is automatically unlocked. You can then upgrade to level 3.

To upgrade, you must complete separate challenges for each class. For example: Camper requires burning wood and cooking. Defender requires building defensive structures and destroying enemies with those structures.

When unlocking a new class, the requirements to reach Level 2 will be displayed in the sub-menu. After completing the conditions, return to the class screen to receive Level 2, and at the same time see the conditions to reach Level 3.
