Detailed Guide to the Snow Biome in 99 Nights in the Forest
Welcome to the ultra-detailed guide to the Snow Biome in 99 Nights in the Forest, the winter expansion released in the November 2025 patch that transforms the haunted forest into a frozen nightmare landscape! This biome, accessible from northern caves after Night 30, introduces hypothermia mechanics, icy enemies like Yetis, and unique resources like Ice Shards. The cold accelerates hunger and weakens defenses but rewards with elite crafts like Warm Hats and frost-resistant weapons. Based on patches up to November 4, 2025 (including post-launch balancing), this guide covers access, mechanics, enemies, crafting, strategies, and secrets to survive the freezing nights.
Access and Preparation: Enter through the «North Wind Cave» (marked on Radar Tier 3, nights 30+). Bring a Lantern, Medkit, and Stew (Crock Pot) for +cold resistance. Private mode recommended for exploring without surprise raids!

Common Mistakes and Advanced Tips
- Errors to Avoid:
- Entering without a Warm Hat (hypothermia in 3 min).
- Ignoring storms (visibility 0, invisible yetis).
- Pursuing loot solo (yeti ambushes).
- Forgetting to charge in Heated Tent (fire fails in raids).
- Advanced Tips:
- Co-op: One explores springs, the other defends caves.
- Speedrun: Use Temporal Accelerometer for storm skips (-20% biome time).
- Secrets: Break «Hidden Glacier» (night 50+) for «Eternal Crystal» (rare Gem of the Forest). Badge «Frost Survivor» for 20 full nights here.
- November 2025 updates: Patch 4/11 adds «Avalanche Event» (escape with Boost Pads); check DevForum for yeti fixes.
