The Obsidiron Chest is one of the most sought-after rewards in 99 Nights in the Forest. Unlike standard loot containers, this chest isn’t something you stumble upon while exploring. You’ll have to complete a task during a Meteor event, gather rare resources, and use the game’s crafting system to build it yourself. Here’s everything you need to know.
How to Get the Obsidiron Chest in 99 Nights in the Forest
Step 1: Wait for the Meteor Shower Event
The process starts with a Meteor Shower. This random world event will change the sky’s color, and you’ll see the message: The sky is on fire. When the meteors land, they leave behind craters filled with valuable materials. More importantly, the Tool Workshop itself changes form. It becomes a lava-fueled variant, guarded by Meteor Crabs. You’ll need access to this workshop if you want to unlock the Obsidiron Chest recipe.
Step 2: Gather the Required Materials
To craft an Obsidiron Chest, you’ll need three ingredients:
- 10 Meteor Shards: Dropped when you mine meteor craters.
- 5 Gold Shards: Also obtained from meteor nodes which are rarer than Meteor Shards.
- 3 Obsidiron Ingots: These are refined from Raw Obsidiron Ore, which sometimes drops from meteors as well.
- To process the ore, break it down, put it in lava, and then immediately put it in water to form solid ingots.
Because each ingredient requires time, some luck, and involves combat, you’ll need to clear multiple meteor sites before you have enough materials to work with. If you have teammates for this purpose, it will get easier.
Step 3: Assemble the Meteor Anvil
Inside the transformed Workshop, you’ll notice the usual crafting stations have changed. To actually create high-tier items, you’ll need to interact with the Meteor Anvil. If it isn’t active yet, look around the structure and collect the scattered anvil parts to complete it. Once assembled, the anvil becomes your main crafting area for meteor-based recipes.
Step 4: Craft the Obsidiron Chest
With the materials in hand, place them into the Meteor Anvil’s interface. Select the Obsidiron Chest recipe and confirm the crafting process. This will consume your shards and ingots, but rewards you with a blueprint of a completed chest.
Go back to your base and place it anywhere you like. When opened, the Obsidiron Chest functions like other loot containers but has a much higher chance of granting late-game rewards, making it one of the best ways to upgrade your gear.
Tips for Farming the Chest
- Bring a strong axe: Mining meteor nodes takes longer than chopping trees.
- Farm multiple craters: One meteor site won’t usually provide enough resources so keep farming them to obtain the rare materials.
- Watch out for Meteor Crabs: Clearing them early makes mining safer.
- Plan your priorities: Since shards are needed for other crafts too, decide if the Obsidiron Chest is worth the investment before spending them.
