99 Nights in the Forest Gem of the Forest

A mysterious green gem.

Where to Get the Gem of the Forest

The Gem of the Forest is actually an obtainable item from the Cultist enemies! There’s a chance to get one each time you defeat a Cultist. They are a common enemy type in 99 Nights in the Forest, and you will often see them as you progress through each day.

However, you must defeat the Cultist during a nighttime raid for the Gem of the Forest to drop. This item does not appear in the earlier nights, and you must progress a fair way in before it can spawn. This is because you do not need the gem in the early game.

You can also get the Gem of the Forest by beating the Cultist Stronghold. This is a building with three floors and a ton of Cultist enemies to defeat. There are lots of rewards on offer as you complete each floor, one of which is the Gem of the Forest.

Be careful, though, as the Cultist Stronghold is one of the most difficult battles in 99 Nights in the Forest, and I recommend having a few other players with you to make it easier.

How to Use the Gem of the Forest

There are various uses for the Gem of the Forest!

Tier 5 Crafting Bench

You need the Gem of the Forest to upgrade the Crafting Bench to Tier 5! Only one is required, thankfully, but you must also collect 50 Scrap and 50 Wood. The Tier 4 Crafting Bench is a requirement, too, as you cannot upgrade it to Tier 5 without unlocking the previous tier first.

Weather Machine

  • Once charged, you can prevent the Rain and Thunderstorm weather from appearing for 3 days

A singular Gem of the Forest is a requirement when crafting the Weather Machine, including 50 Scrap, 50 Wood, and the Tier 5 Crafting Bench.

Temporal Accelerator

  • Once charged, you can skip the next night

For the Temportal Accelerator, you must collect 1 Cultist Gem, 50 Scrap, and 50 Wood. You also need to have the Tier 5 Crafting Bench!

Respawn Capsule

  • When a player dies, they will teleport to the location of the Respawn Capsule

Like the other recipes for the Tier 5 Crafting Bench, 1 Cultist Gem, 50 Scrap, and 50 Wood are required to craft the Respawn Capsule.
