In 99 Nights in the Forest, players must melt ice in the snow biome to uncover valuable treasures and hidden items. Axe-based tools are essential for this process, with higher-tier axes working faster. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Tools for Breaking Ice
- Standard Axe: All axes can break ice, but they take time and drain your core temperature with each swing. Bring warm clothing to counter prolonged exposure.
- Ice Axe (Best Option): This rare chest drop speeds up melting and reduces freezing risks, making it ideal for efficient treasure hunting.
Surviving the Cold
- Monitor Temperature: Swinging axes near ice lowers your core temperature drastically. If unchecked, slowed movement and lost sprint speed leave you vulnerable to threats like Polar Bears.
- Gear Up: Prioritize cold-resistant clothing to extend ice-breaking sessions and recover faster afterward.
