How to Save Kids in 99 Nights in the Forest
Written by Tyler Harris
To save a kid in 99 Nights in the Forest, you need to find them, carry them to safety, and finish the rescue before night falls.
Saving kids is required to complete the game, and each one you save helps you unlock more progress.
Where to Find the Kid
Look During the Day
Search the forest when it's light out. Kids are usually near landmarks like ruins, cliffs, or caves.
Listen for Clues
Some kids cry or glow faintly. Turn up your volume and scan slowly as you explore.
How to Rescue the Kid
Pick Them Up
Walk up to the kid and press E to carry them. You must have space in your inventory and enough stamina.
Avoid Enemies
The Deer Monster and other threats can make you drop the kid. If you're carrying one, avoid fights and stay on clear paths.
Return to Base
Carry the kid back to your base or any safe zone. Use E again to finish the rescue. If you drop the kid, you’ll need to pick them up again.
Helpful Tips
Carry a Bag so you have enough room
Use classes like Medic or Cook for more safety
Build your base early and keep it walled
Only rescue at night if you’re ready
Bring healing items or food if stamina is low
Final Blurb
Saving kids is the main goal in 99 Nights in the Forest. You can't skip it, and the longer you wait, the harder it gets. If you plan your routes and avoid running into trouble, you'll save them just fine.
They don’t run off... but you might, if you're not careful.
