Initiating the Haunted Hunt requires locating glow-marked structures across regions. Unique dwellings like the Mushroom Hut or Skull Cottage appear on maps as shadowed icons with treat symbols.

After discovering a dwelling, ignite it using a Seasonal Flame. Wait for dusk, as interactions only occur post-sunset. Knock to experience:

Reward: Receive 3-6 Sweets, sometimes paired with bonus resources.
Prank: Risk temporary transformations or confinement via Ghostly Trap for brief periods.

Effects dissipate quickly. Relight dwellings nightly using additional flames.

Acquiring Flames in 99 Nights in the Woods

Flames are vital for night visits. Obtain through:

Raid Encounters: Defeating cultists might yield flames, especially post-Day 5 during volcanic zone events.
Loot Containers: Rarely found in scattered chests with higher odds in later stages.

Survival duration boosts drop rates. Prioritize volcanic cultist zones post-Day 5 for optimal farming.
