99 Nights in the Forest Cave Guide

Now that the deer is no longer injured, and your good old day of teaming up with it is gone, the new update is here in 99 Nights in the Forest. This update introduces a new cave and features a new Bat entity in the game. The cave is more like a long, long, long mine, which may seem unending, but there’s a lot to it. There are also very cool buffs that you can get from inside the cave, new enemies to fight off, and more. Here is a full guide to help you learn about the Cave in 99 Nights in the Forest.

How to Find the Cave in 99 Nights in the Forest

The cave will appear at a random spot in the forest on Day 1. It won’t be too far from the campfire, and you can easily find it using the map. There will be a cave icon on the map with a yellow exclamation mark, denoting the main entrance of the cave.

There are a total of four caves, with the other three being a smaller icon on the map compared to the main one. The smaller caves are scattered across the forest and can be unlocked once your campfire level has been upgraded. However, to access them, you need to blow them using the TNT given inside the cave.

How to Complete the Cave in 99 Nights in the Forest

Now that you have found the cave and its main entrance, it’s time to go in. But you need some preparations beforehand. To fully explore the cave without interruption, you need the following items:

• An Old Flashlight or a Strong Flashlight. We prefer the Strong Flashlight as it has more battery capacity and charges quickly.
• A Stew is a must so that you do not die of hunger. The more you have, the better chance you have at exploring. You can get a Stew from a Crock Pot by crafting.
• Some good weapons like Strong Axe, Chainsaw, Spear, Shotgun, etc. Get at least one or two of the strongest weapons, as you’ll face one of the toughest enemies inside the cave.
• Bandages and a Med Kit to revive your teammates.
• You can also use some of the best classes in 99 Nights in the Forest to make things easier.

Upon entering the cave, you’ll find a notice about the Bat in 99 Nights in the Forest, saying that take cover when it screams. After, you’ll be welcomed by some new green-cloaked Cultists, who are much, much stronger than the regular red-cloaked ones. Once you have killed them, look to your left, and you’ll notice a giant chunk of crystal.

There are plenty of Crystals inside the cave, which can be charged using the Flashlight. Charing them lights the entire area of vision, which can be crucial when exploring the cave and fighting cultists.

Right in front, you’ll find the bat chilling after injuring the deer. It will also attack you with its scream, so make sure to avoid it. Be careful when fighting the Bat, and make sure to dodge the supersonic screams.

The cave can be pretty confusing, but luckily, you have a separate map for the 99 Nights in the Forest cave, which makes exploring a lot easier. We have fully explored the cave, and attached the map above. You can follow it and explore the cave if you are facing difficulties. The Blue Crystal icons are the charged Crystal, the Statues icons, which grant a Blessing when interacted with, and the Cave icons are the exits of the cave.

Make sure to keep your guards high, as there are a lot of enemies inside the cave that keep on respawning. Some of them gave me jump scares, and all of them are very chunky. They have a lot of health, and it would take a decade if you try to kill them using a bad weapon.

Aside from the green-cloaked Cultists, there is a new Cultist variant, with a cape, muscles, and an axe bigger than themselves. We died a few times on their hand, as they have a lot of health and deal a shit ton of damage. Also, do not forget to blast off the exits of the cave (found near the statues), so that you can come back later with more items, and continue exploring from where you left off.

All the Blessings in 99 Nights in the Forest

Unfortunately, there is no loot inside the cave, not even a single chest. However, four cool-looking Statues resemble the four monster entities in the game: Deer, Owl, Ram, and Bat. Each location will have two statues, providing blessings that will make your 99 Nights in the Forest gameplay a lot easier. You can choose only one statue at a time and select one blessing. Here is a list of all of them:

• Blessing of the Ram I: Decreases the chances of lightning
• Blessing of the Owl I: Decreases the chances of rain
• Blessing of the Deer I: Increases the day length and decreases night length.
• Blessing of the Bat I: Decreases hunger rate
• Blessing of the Ram II: Decreases the chances of lightning
• Blessing of the Owl II: Decreases the chances of rain
• Blessing of the Deer II: Increases the day length and decreases the night length.
• Blessing of the Bat II: Decreases hunger rate
