Enemies in 99 Nights in the Forest Roblox
The enemies in 99 Nights in the Forest are central to the survival experience. Each one poses different challenges and offers unique resources. Understanding their behavior and knowing how to deal with them is key to lasting more nights in the game. Below is a full breakdown of every enemy and the best ways to counter them.

Wolves
- Drops: Steak, Morsel, Wolf Pelt, Red Key (only from Guardian Wolf)
- Stats: Damage 19, Max Health 70, Walkspeed 23
- How to Deal: Jump on their back while attacking to avoid taking damage. Use logs to trap them in place and make striking easier. Setting a bear trap and aiming revolver headshots is one of the safest strategies.
Alpha Wolves
- Drops: Steak, Morsel, Alpha Wolf Pelt, Blue Key (only from Guardian Alpha Wolf)
- Stats: Damage 22, Max Health 90, Walkspeed 23
- How to Deal: Keep moving in close combat and use a Spear to avoid hits. Long-range weapons like a revolver or rifle work well if you can maintain distance.
Cultists
- Drops: Cultist Gem, Mossy Coins, Ammo
- Stats:
- Old Axe Cultist Damage 7
- Crossbow Cultist Damage 15
- Morningstar Cultist Damage 30
- Max Health 70, Walkspeed 12 (16 for ranged)
- How to Deal: Always target Crossbow Cultists first as they can kill you quickly if ignored. Rush ranged Cultists to engage them in melee, where they are weak. Other types also fall quickly once you close the distance.
Bears

- Drops: Steak, Bear Pelt, Morsel, Yellow Key (Cave only), Grey Key (Cave only)
- Stats: Damage 35, Max Health 300, Walkspeed 28
- How to Deal: Stick to ranged weapons. Lure the bear into tight areas so it gets stuck, giving you time to fire safely.
Polar Bears
- Drops: Steak, Morsel
- Stats: Damage 50, Max Health 500, Walkspeed 28
- How to Deal: Use firearms only and avoid melee completely. Even with armor, two hits are enough to kill you, so keep your distance and fire from safe angles.
Aliens
- Drops: None
- Stats: Damage around 20, Max Health around 70, Walkspeed 16
- How to Deal: Aliens use Rayguns, Laser Swords, or Laser Cannons. Avoid fighting groups and focus on isolating them. Use ranged weapons to avoid taking unnecessary hits.

The Deer
- Drops: None
- Stats: Damage 25+, Max Health Infinite, Walkspeed around 30
- How to Deal: The Deer hunts only at night, so avoid staying deep in the forest after dark. Use a flashlight to stun it briefly when chased. Its size can make it get stuck between trees, which gives you time to escape or reposition.
Learning these enemies and their patterns is essential to surviving longer in 99 Nights in the Forest. Prepare early, gather weapons from buildings and chests, and use the environment to your advantage.
