99 Nights in the Forest is a survival Roblox game, where you need to survive 99 days in a forest from a vicious Deer and its cultists. However, the Christmas week 3 update brings yet another festive twist to the game, where you’re now going to face the imposter Santa.
Imposter Santa has taken over the North Pole Workshop and has caused haywire around. Now, for the final week, it’s your task to defeat this boss and restore the Workshop. Defeating the Imposter Santa will give you some amazing rewards, but it is not as easy as you think. So, to help you out, here’s a complete guide to Imposter Santa in 99 Nights in the Forest and how to defeat him.
How to Defeat Imposter Santa in 99 Nights in a Forest

First, you need to head inside the red wooden workshop. There, you’ll find three Candy Turrets that block your path. The first turret is located right near the entrance and sits at an elevated spot, so you’ll need a ladder to reach it. The second turret is found deeper inside the building, mounted beneath a doorway along the main path. The final turret is hidden underground behind a snow-covered barrier, which can only be accessed using a shovel.
All Candy Turrets fire in a fixed forward direction and cannot fully rotate. So, it’s better to approach and attack them from behind, as ignoring them can be deadly due to their serious damage. Moreover, destroying each turret rewards you with two Candy Canes. After all three turrets are cleared, Imposter Santa appears as the final boss in the main workshop.
The Imposter Santa can place additional turrets during the fight. However, Santa himself deals relatively low damage. So, stay mobile, use nearby crates for cover, and focus your attacks on Santa rather than every turret he spawns. Moreover, it’s recommended to use long-range weapons, as the fight becomes much easier.
How to Find Imposter Santa in 99 Nights in a Forest
Imposter Santa can be found inside the large red wooden workshop located in the North Pole Biome. However, you must fully upgrade your campfire to level four, as this is the maximum level needed to unlock entry to the North Pole. Once you arrive, the biome is initially unsafe and blocked off.
To access the area, you have to decorate all twelve special Christmas trees spread across the biome using Christmas Lights. You’ll need a total of 12 lights, which can be obtained by chopping down non-snowy trees or by defeating hostile enemies like wolves that roam the forest. After placing lights on each of the twelve trees, a cutscene will trigger, confirming that the village is safe and allowing you to enter the workshop.
The Evil Santa boss fight is part of the Week 3 Christmas update storyline. After the elves finish building the workshop, a fake Santa takes control and fills the area with dangerous turrets. Defeating him rewards you with special presents and exclusive loot. Before heading into the fight, make sure to purchase essential tools like the ladder and shovel from Santa’s Workshop using coins.
All Rewards for Defeating Imposter Santa in 99 Nights in a Forest
After you’ve defeated Imposter Santa, the workshop powers get restored and also start up the Present Machine. This machine generates three reward boxes, each containing Candy Canes with valuable high-tier items, which are essential during your run. Moreover, one of the three rewards is always a Golden Present Box, which contains bonus loot and grants an additional five Candy Canes.
Additionally, new purchases become available at the Elf Shop. There, you can spend your Candy Canes on decorative furniture, limited-time event flames, pet skins, and useful utility items. These items are available for a limited time only and will be gone once the event has ended. So, collect as many rewards as possible before the event ends.
