99 Nights in the Forest Snow Biome Update Guide 2025

The Snow Biome Update has completely transformed 99 Nights in the Forest, introducing a frozen wasteland that will test every survival skill you’ve learned in the forest. If you’re stepping into this icy nightmare unprepared, you’ll freeze to death within minutes—but with the right strategies, gear, and knowledge, the Snow Biome offers incredible rewards, exclusive badges, and powerful new equipment that can carry you well past the crucial 99-night mark.

I’ve spent countless hours exploring every frozen corner of this treacherous biome, mastering its brutal mechanics, and uncovering all four limited-time event badges. This comprehensive guide will teach you everything you need to dominate the Snow Biome, from essential survival strategies to advanced combat techniques against deadly new enemies like Mammoths and Polar Bears.

For players new to the game, I recommend checking out our complete craftable items guide to understand the basic crafting mechanics before tackling the advanced Snow Biome challenges.

The Snow Biome represents the most significant content update in 99 Nights in the Forest history, fundamentally changing how you approach survival. This isn’t just a cosmetic addition—it’s a complete gameplay overhaul that introduces temperature management, new crafting requirements, and deadlier enemies that demand upgraded strategies.

Understanding the 99 Nights in the Forest Snow Biome Mechanics

Temperature System and Survival

The Snow Biome’s defining feature is its unforgiving temperature system that continuously drains your health unless you’re properly equipped. Your health slowly drains from the cold unless you wear the right items, and you will freeze if you don’t gear up.

How Freezing Works:

A temperature bar appears at the bottom of your screen upon entering
Red temperature bar = severe speed reduction and health drain
Freezing prevents you from outrunning dangerous enemies
Your usual clothes provide no resistance to the cold

Accessing the Snow Biome

The game now features a full snowy section of the map, unlocked as you upgrade your base campfire. Once the boundary reaches this cold zone, you’ll notice snow-covered trees, frozen terrain, and harsh survival mechanics.

Location Identification:

Unlike the rest of the forest, which is colored green, the snow biome is highlighted in white
Appears on your map as a distinct snowy region
Access becomes available through normal campfire expansion
No special requirements beyond base progression

Essential Warm Clothing Crafting Guide (2026)

Finding the Warm Clothing Cabin

You can craft warm clothing in a special cabin. Its location is highlighted on the Map by a snowcap icon. The cabin provides several crucial benefits:

Cabin Benefits:

While you’re inside the cabin, you will be shielded from the cold
Safe crafting environment
Always located at the edges of the snow biome
Multiple spawn locations (not fixed position)

Craftable Warm Clothing Items

To survive in the Snow Biome, you must craft cold-resistant clothing. Head to a Warm Crafting hut in the forest—usually found near the snowline—and interact with the crafting table there.

Available Warm Clothing:

Ear Muffs – Basic cold protection
Arctic Fox Hat – Requires Arctic Fox Pelt
Polar Bear Hat – Requires Polar Bear Pelt
Beanie – Entry-level warm gear

Crafting Requirements:

Recipes typically require Arctic Fox Pelts and Polar Bear Pelts
While the Bunny Foot can be obtained from rabbits, the Polar Bear and Arctic Fox Pelts can be acquired from their associated animals
Note that the chance of finding pelts is extremely low, so you may need to hunt several Arctic Foxes and Polar Bears to get them

Pro Tip: Warmth provided by the newly introduced clothes is highlighted by a thermometer icon next to their name. The more the warmth, the less the time taken for your character to get cold and receive the speed debuff.

New Snow Biome Enemies and Combat Strategies (2026)

Arctic Fox

The Arctic Fox serves as the most accessible enemy for pelt gathering in the Snow Biome.

Combat Strategy:

Arctic Foxes are generally easier to hunt than Polar Bears, making them the better target for efficient material farming
Fast but low health
Wolves and Arctic Wolves are the most common threats near the warm clothing cabin
Best targets for beginners

Polar Bear

The other new enemy is the polar bear. They are large and can be aggressive if you approach them.

Combat Approach:

Use ranged weapons on these animals since they are extremely fast and could knock you down at close range
High damage and health
Essential for Polar Bear Hat crafting
The weather in the snow biome poses a significant challenge in 99 Nights in the Forest. It restricts your movement speed and prevents you from outrunning Polar Bears and Arctic Foxes, leading to a swift death

Mammoth (Woolly Mammoth)

Woolly Mammoth – A massive and powerful creature that’s very tough to kill, but drops huge amounts of food.

Combat Essentials:

First, we have the mammoth which is a large creature that directly attacks you in the open
To defeat Mammoths and Polar Bears, ensure you’re prepared
Extremely high health and damage
Provides massive food rewards
Required for Wilderness Hunting badge

Advanced Combat Strategy:

You can also use the Teleporter to quickly go back to your camp if your health is low during the fights
Bring maximum ammunition and healing items
Consider team coordination for efficiency

Complete Limited-Time Event Badges Guide

The Snow Biome introduces four exclusive, time-limited badges that offer unique challenges and valuable rewards. All of them are available for a limited time, so make sure to obtain them as soon as possible.

Reconstruction Badge (4 Diamonds)

To get the Reconstruction Badge, you must fit a carrot on a snowman that’s missing its nose. This snowman can be found in the newly added snow biome in 99 Nights in the Forest.

Step-by-Step Process:

Prepare Before Entering: Carrots cannot be found in the snow biome. You must pick one from the forest and store it in your Sack
Locate the Snowman Circle: Once you enter the snow biome, search for a circle of five snowmen. One of them could be seen frowning and will be missing its carrot nose
Complete the Task: Approach the snowman while holding a carrot and then click on it

Strategic Tips:

Grab a carrot early to save time when going for the Reconstruction Badge
Head on over to the Snow Biome. Explore the area until you find five snowmen in a circle. One of these Snowmen will be seen as rather sad, since it is missing its carrot nose

Knitting Badge

Knitting: Craft 10 warm items of clothing. The Knitting Badge focuses on the new crafting content introduced in the Snow Biome. To earn it, use the special crafting station in this zone to make a total of 10 warm clothing items.

Completion Strategy:

Remember, all crafting must be done at the Snow Biome’s dedicated station for it to count toward your badge progress
Focus on Arctic Foxes for fast crafting progress on the Knitting Badge

Ice Sculpting Badge

Ice Sculpting: Find the Ice Temple and break the treasure out of the ice. For the Ice Sculpting Badge, head to the Ice Temple hidden somewhere within the Snow Biome. Inside, you’ll find frozen treasures encased in thick ice.

Completion Method:

Your challenge is to break the ice and retrieve the treasure inside. Using strong melee weapons or explosives will speed up the process
Search for the Ice Temple as soon as possible, and bring strong melee weapons or explosives for the Ice Sculpting Badge
A strong melee weapon or explosive can help break the ice faster

Wilderness Hunting Badge

Wilderness Hunting: Defeat 10 Mammoths, Defeat 20 Polar Bears. The Wilderness Hunting Badge tests your combat readiness in the toughest parts of the Snow Biome.
