The latest seasonal update for 99 Nights in the Forest brings a cauldron-based crafting system. By combining gathered components, adventurers can brew mystical elixirs with diverse temporary effects. Discover the components and potential outcomes below.
Cauldron Mechanics Explained




Locate the permanent cauldron near your initial campsite. Ingredients displayed on nearby pedestals indicate required components for current recipes. Explore the environment to gather materials, then sequentially deposit them into the brewing vessel to initiate creation.
Understanding Brewing Randomization
Rather than fixed formulas, this system employs adaptive alchemy. Identical ingredient combinations might yield different results across brewing attempts. Effects range from beneficial enhancements like accelerated movement to humorous curses such as temporary amphibian transformations. Each successful brew awards substantial candy rewards regardless of outcome.




Biome-Specific Resources

- Steak – Dropped by large predators like bears and wolves
- Mackerel – Acquired through freshwater fishing activities
- Coal – Found in abandoned structures and charcoal pits

- Stareweed – Requires light exposure to activate
- Moonflower – Night-blooming specimens
