The festive winter season in 99 Nights in the Forest has officially ended, and the snow is finally melting. This change marks a return to the classic forest environment that existed before the Christmas event. The Snow is Melting Event is not just a visual update. Survival mechanics, resource locations, and enemy behavior are all returning to their original state.
Map and Environmental Changes
With the snow melting, the most obvious change is the disappearance of the winter landscape. Grass, dirt paths, and the original biome distinctions return to the forest. The snow biome is no longer a safe zone. Players who venture into these areas without proper preparation will face freezing damage and possible death.
Other biomes are also returning to prominence. The volcanic area with the Ram entity is active again, providing high-risk and high-reward opportunities. Owl territories that were less relevant during the holiday event now contain valuable resources. Players who spent the past weeks focusing on Christmas content will need to reacquaint themselves with these areas.
Candy Canes and Event Currency
Candy canes no longer carry value after the snow melts. The Christmas Elf Shop closes permanently, and any remaining candy canes cannot be used. Players should prioritize spending candy canes on permanent upgrades or limited-time items.
Priority purchases include:
- Carnival Maze fire (top-tier campfire upgrade)
- Alien fire (excellent alternative option)
- Any cosmetic items you've been eyeing
- Limited-time building materials
Players should act quickly, as any unused candy canes will be wasted after the update.

Base Preparation
The environmental shift requires adjusting your base for survival. Temperature management is again critical, especially near the snow biome. Engineer-class players should prioritize building defensive and warming structures around resource-rich locations.
Players running the Engineer class should prioritize building defensive structures around resource-rich areas. With the full map accessible again, competition for premium gathering spots intensifies.

Daily Quests and Resource Gathering
Daily quest strategies need adjustment as Christmas-themed objectives are no longer available. Quests now focus on classic survival activities.
Daily quest focus after snow melt:
Encounter classic entities such as Bats, Owls, and Rams
Gather biome-specific resources
Complete standard survival milestones
Progress crafting objectives
Resource gathering returns to traditional patterns. Coal spawns in cave locations, wood types vary across forest sections, and iron or rare materials require venturing into dangerous areas rather than safe holiday zones.
Combat and Entity Behavior
Combat strategies must be updated. Holiday enemies had different attack patterns, while classic entities are stronger and behave differently.
The Bat entity now attacks faster and deals more damage than its holiday counterpart, requiring careful timing and strategy to defeat. Owl and Ram entities have returned to their original biomes and pose the standard level of difficulty players are familiar with. To avoid unnecessary deaths, it is important to study their spawn points and understand their attack patterns before engaging in combat.
Warning
Don't underestimate classic entities after fighting holiday versions. The Bat hits harder and moves faster than most Christmas enemies.
The snow melting represents more than a cosmetic change. It signals the end of one content cycle and the beginning of another. Players who prepare now gain significant advantages over those caught off guard by the transition.
Your survival journey continues, just without the festive decorations and holiday enemies. The core challenge remains: survive 99 nights in an increasingly hostile forest environment. The snow melt simply reminds you that seasons change, but the danger never stops.
