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. In the latest Christmas Update, Santa’s Elves have arrived, and with them comes a bunch of new content, including a new currency.
For the Christmas Update, Candy Canes will be the core currency for 99 Nights in the Forest. By using them, you’ll be able to purchase a variety of rewards. However, getting Candy Canes can be a bit hard to come by. So, to help you out, here’s a complete guide to Candy Canes and how to get them in 99 Nights in the Forest.
How to Get Candy Canes in 99 Nights in the Forest
You can earn Candy Canes by rescuing elves hidden throughout the forest. Every elf you save grants a Christmas Gift Box, which, when opened, provides Candy Canes along with bonus items like weapons, healing supplies, or extra Mossy Coins. Typically, each rescue yields around two to four Candy Canes, though the exact number can vary.
Since there is no other consistent way to obtain Candy Canes, rescuing elves remains the most important activity during the Christmas Event. Moreover, each elf is trapped uniquely and requires a specific item to rescue. Below, we’ve listed all the rescue tools that you can get in 99 Nights in the Forest.
| Tool | Cost | How to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Ladder | 15 Mossy Coins | Use ladders to rescue elves in trees or elevated areas. |
| Ice Skates | 20 Mossy Coins | Useful for rescuing elves stuck in frozen lakes or in frosty terrain. |
| Shovel | 20 Mossy Coins | Use this to rescue elves stuck under a pile of snow. |
| Sled | 25 Mossy Coins | Use this for helping elves escape hostile situations (upcoming feature). |
You can purchase these rescue tools from Santa Sack. They are usually located near your campfire and are very easily recognizable. To buy these tools, you’ll need Mossy Coins, which can be found by looting structures, buildings, or by defeating cultists.
How to Find & Rescue Elves in 99 Nights in the Forest
Santa’s Elves are scattered across the forest in secret locations. Because the map does not mark them, you must explore carefully, check every corner, and stay alert for hostile threats along the way. However, the exact spawn locations differ for everyone, but the mechanics of rescuing them remain the same.
How to Rescue Tree Elves
Tree elves usually appear near camps or major landmarks and remain trapped high in trees, unable to climb down on their own. To save them, you need to buy a ladder from the Santa Sack, place it at the base of the tree, and then interact with the elf to free them and collect a Christmas Gift Box.
How to Rescue Frozen Lake Elves
Some elves end up stranded on frozen lakes. Rescuing these elves requires ice skates, which allow you to cross the frozen surface and reach them safely. Once equipped, approach the elf and interact to complete the rescue. However, ice skates cost more than a ladder.
How to Rescue Buried Elves
Buried elves hide beneath piles of snow, often near caves or rocky areas, and can be recognized by slightly unusual snow formations. To rescue them, you must purchase a shovel and dig through snow piles until the elf is revealed. After uncovering them, interacting will grant your reward.
How to Rescue Path or Track Elves
Some elves are trapped along paths or tracks that have been blocked by fallen trees, commonly near icy routes or constructed pathways. Instead of a Santa Sack tool, these rescues require you to clear the obstruction using an axe. Once the path is open, you can interact with the elf to free them.
