99 Nights in the Forest: Deer Guide

99 Nights in the Forest: Deer Guide
Roblox

The Deer is the main threat in 99 Nights in the Forest, appearing only at night to hunt players outside the safety of the campfire.

It cannot be damaged by weapons and is only deterred by bright light, such as flashlights or the campfire itself.

Deer Behavior

The Deer patrols at night and will chase any player outside the campfire’s light radius. It is slower than a sprinting player but faster than walking speed, making running and light sources essential for survival.

When the game announces “The Deer is Hungry Tonight,” it becomes faster, runs on all fours, and is less affected by flashlights. This hungry version deals more damage and is harder to avoid.

Deer Hunger Event

The hunger event triggers randomly and is announced before nightfall. A hungry Deer is much more aggressive, has increased movement speed, and resists light effects longer.

Its appearance also changes slightly, with red eyes and larger antlers, making it easy to spot. During these nights, travel should be limited, and staying near your campfire is the safest choice.

How to Survive the Deer

  • Stay inside the campfire’s light radius during night.

  • Carry a flashlight to stun the Deer if you are caught outside.

  • Use large trees, rocks, or structures to break line of sight since the Deer has basic pathfinding and often gets stuck.

  • Avoid wandering far on hungry Deer nights, as escaping is far harder.

  • Do not attempt to attack it, as the Deer is immune to all player weapons.

Final Blurb

The Deer defines nighttime danger in 99 Nights in the Forest. Light, speed, and awareness of the hunger event are key to survival. Focus on collecting resources during the day and stay near safe zones at night to avoid becoming its next victim.
