If you're feeling brave, you might want to track down the 99 Nights in the Woods Owl, one of the three secondary antagonists in the game, though we much prefer the idea of running away from it. Whatever you want to do, it's important to know your enemy, especially as the Owl moves even faster than the Deer, which is a simply terrifying prospect, to be honest.
To help increase your chances of survival, we offer tips on how to survive your encounter with the 99 Nights in the Forest monster, along with its behaviors and where you can actually find it. Unfortunately, knowledge isn't exactly everything in this game, as you need supplies, too, but our list of all the new 99 Nights in the Forest codes can help you with that.
Here's everything you need to know about the 99 Nights in the Forest Owl:
What is the 99 Nights in the Forest Owl?
The Owl is an extremely hostile entity, being one of the four monsters in the game, and one of the three secondary antagonists alongside the Ram and the Bat. If the Owl spawns, you get a detection minigame. The Owl can only see you if you're moving, so you need to stand still and only move when it isn't looking, and even then, you need to be careful. You should also prepare yourself to face packs of wolves, as the Owl may summon them to keep you on the move.
Here are the 99 Nights in the Forest Owl's stats:
Where does the 99 Nights in the Forest Owl spawn?
The Owl can spawn in both the forest and the snow biome at night. When night begins, a small cutscene plays, letting you know which entity is out to get you - if it's the Owl, you'll see the words "the Owl has woken up." Luckily for you, if the Owl is present, the Deer isn't, so you don't need to worry about two monsters at the same time.
What is the 99 Nights in the Forest Owl's behavior?
The Owl lands near you and stands still to look for you, and you can see your detection level through the eyes that appear on screen. If they're white, it can't see you, if they turn completely red, the Owl becomes aware of your presence, causing it to chase after you.
Much like the Ram and the Deer, you can stun the Owl with a flashlight, and the campfire also stuns it. However, it's worth noting that the Owl generally moves faster than the Deer and even players who are sprinting, unless they have the Assassin or Alien classes. As such, the Owl can be very difficult to escape.
Can I kill the 99 Nights in the Forest Owl?
No, you can't kill the Owl, so do yourself a favor and conserve your ammo. As the Owl is immortal, it doesn't even have a health bar, just like the Deer, the Ram, and the Bat. However, as we already explained, you can stun the monster with your flashlight to try and make your escape.
99 Nights in the Forest Owl tips
Overcoming the Owl involves surviving the whole night when it spawns, but since you can't kill it, it's time to get creative. Luckily, there are some things that you can do to give you an advantage and increase your chances of survival.
Here are our tips on how to survive the 99 Nights in the Forest Owl:
- Whatever you do, don't move during the detection minigame. If the Owl doesn't summon wolves, this is all you need to do to survive the night
- If the Owl does spawn wolves, you can use swinging weapons to defend yourself, as they don't alert the Owl during the minigame
- You can stun the Owl by shining your flashlight at it, and you can also get the Owl stuck on obstacles thanks to its poor pathfinding capabilities - something it has in common with the Deer
That concludes all of the tips we have for you - good luck, we're sure you can survive the Owl.
