Surviving the Owl in 99 Nights in the Forest— Spawn, Mechanics, and Strategies

The Owl has made its way to 99 Nights in the Forest as a part of the latest update. It’s one of the many survival challenges that you will encounter in the Ice Temple, and you will need to learn to learn everything there is about it if you are looking to have an easier time in the region.

So if you are struggling with surviving against the Owl in this Roblox game, then the guide below will help you out.

Where does the Owl spawn in 99 Nights in the Forest?

You will primarily find the Owl in the Ice Temple of the Snow Biome region of 99 Nights in the Forest. However, after spawning, the creature is not restricted to the area, and there are moments when you will find it appearing outside its main zone, including the forest areas.

Moreover, you will find the Owl appearing during nighttime and can often stay active throughout the entire night, moving from one part of the map to another. It’s movement is pretty random, hence, it can get tricky to keep a constant track of its roaming behavior.

What does the Owl do in 99 Nights in the Forest? Mechanics explained

When you encounter the Owl in 99 Nights in the Forest, you will notice that it has two unique UI elements, which will then appear on the screen:

Two Eye IconsThis is a bar that will fill up with red color when your movement is being noticed by the owl.
Exclamation Mark IconWhen the eye turns completely red, the exclamation mark will begin to flash. This means that the owl is now going to attack you.

Your goal against the creature will be to avoid triggering any sort of aggression. So this means that you will have to limit any sort of movement if it’s infront of you. Even if the owl is looking at you, but you are not moving, the meter will not build up.

How to survive the Owl in 99 Nights in the Forest

Using Flashlight on the Owl in 99 Nights in the Forest

To be able to survive the Owl in 99 Nights in the Forest, you will need to be patient with your approach. Here are a few tips and tricks that will help you out:

1) Remain still when watched by the Owl

If you see that the eye meter is filling out, you will need to remain still. Even if the Owl is in front of you, the exclamation mark will not appear if you remain still.

2) Use the Flashlight to make the Owl retreat

If you are carrying a flashlight, turning it on and off repeatedly on the Owl’s face will force it to retreat temporarily. This will give you some breathing room and the time to reposition.

3) Head back to the campfire before nightfall

If you see that the Owl has appeared on the map, make sure you do not venture out much after nightfall. Stay near the campfire zone, and head back in as soon as you see the Owl roaming.

4) Don’t try to take on the Owl

It’s not a good idea to try and take on the Owl in open combat. This is because the creature is immune to all damage sources, and you will just ruin your entire run by trying to defeat it.

If you have not drawn the Owl’s aggro in 99 Nights in the Forest, it will eventually go away and leave an Owl Feather in its place. It’s a very rare resource that you can then exchange for Fuel by talking to the Birdwatcher NPC in the forest.

So it’s a valuable reward that you will be able to get your hands on if you remain patient and avoid drawing any aggro towards yourself from the owl.
