The Easter Part 1 update for 99 Nights in the Forest landed on March 28, 2026, scattering 11 unique eggs across the map — each locked behind its own puzzle, boss fight, or environmental trick. Collecting and submitting these eggs earns event currency you can spend on limited cosmetics, furniture, and a temporary new class before the event wraps up.
Quick answer: Grab the Egg Basket from the table at the Easter event hub near your campsite, find and activate eggs across the map, then submit them to the Easter Bunny NPC to earn Eggs currency for the Easter Shop.
Getting Started — The Egg Basket and the Bunny NPC
You cannot collect any Easter Eggs without first picking up an Egg Basket. At the start of each game, head to the new Easter structure near your campsite. A table next to the Easter Bunny NPC holds several baskets — interact with it to grab one. The basket functions like your normal item pouch and holds up to 12 eggs at a time.
Once you've gathered eggs, return to the Easter Bunny NPC and submit them. The first time you turn in a brand-new egg type, you receive a +10 Eggs currency bonus. Duplicate submissions of the same type award only 1 Egg each, so prioritizing variety early on is the fastest way to build currency.
All 11 Easter Egg Locations and Unlock Conditions
| Egg | Where to Find It | How to Unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Egg | Spawns randomly across the entire map; respawns frequently | Chase it down — the egg rolls away from you when you get close. Pick it up and submit directly. |
| Basketball Egg | Any basketball court on the map | Pick it up, then shoot it through a basketball hoop. Only after scoring can it be collected with the basket. |
| Chick Egg | On top of a chicken coop | Tame or hit 6 chickens toward the nests inside the coop. Once all 6 are sleeping in the nests, the egg becomes collectible. |
| Lightning Egg | Under a red umbrella | Lightning must strike the egg directly or very close to it. Place the egg near a lightning rod during a thunderstorm for the most reliable method. |
| Cooked Egg | Crafted, not found | Put 3 Basic Eggs into a Crock Pot. A Cooked Egg pops out and can be submitted to the Bunny. |
| Glowing Egg | Frozen inside a polar bear cave (ice biome) | Break the ice with any axe to free the Cold Egg, then place it by a campfire. After roughly 10 minutes of thawing, it transforms into a Glowing Egg. |
| Volcanic Egg | Pedestal in the Volcanic Biome | Sacrifice 8 cultists wearing bunny ears into the volcano. Each sacrifice turns a flame from orange to purple. Once all 8 are purple, the egg spawns on the pedestal. |
| Pelt Trader Egg | Dropped in front of the Pelt Trader | Kill wolves, alpha wolves, or bears until one drops an "Easter" pelt variant. Give it to the Pelt Trader when he arrives — a purchase menu for the Pelt Egg appears regardless of your normal pelt progression. |
| Frog Egg | Inside the Frog King's den | The Frog Event must be active. Find all 8 keys, defeat the Frog King, and the Frog Egg spawns — it bounces around the den quickly, so be ready to chase it. |
| Alien Egg | Inside the UFO mothership | The UFO Event must be active. Locate an alien wearing bunny ears and scan it on the scanner in the mothership's final room. The Alien Egg spawns afterward. |
| Fish Egg | Reportedly found in a "special lake" | Currently unobtainable, likely due to a bug. No confirmed method exists yet. |
Detailed Walkthroughs for the Trickier Eggs
Volcanic Egg
Head to the Volcanic Biome and look for cultists sporting bunny ears — these are the Easter variants you need. Defeat them and sacrifice each one into the volcano. You'll know it's working because the flame on each torch shifts from orange to purple. All 8 torches must burn purple before the egg materializes on the central pedestal. This is one of the more time-consuming eggs because cultist spawns can be inconsistent, and they occasionally wander inside the Easter building itself, making the last one hard to track down.
Glowing Egg
Travel to the ice biome and enter a polar bear cave. Inside, you'll spot a Cold Egg encased in ice. Swing any axe to break it free, then carry it back to your campfire. The thawing process takes about 10 minutes of real time, so plan accordingly — don't start this right before you need to leave the game. Once fully thawed, the Cold Egg becomes a Glowing Egg ready for submission.
Frog Egg and Alien Egg
Both of these eggs depend on random in-game events firing. The Frog Egg requires the Frog Event to be active; you'll need to collect all 8 frog keys and then defeat the Frog King boss inside the cave. The Alien Egg requires the UFO Event — board the mothership, find a bunny-eared alien, and use the scanner in the final room. Because these events aren't guaranteed every match, you may need to play several rounds before the right one triggers.
Easter Shop Rewards and Prices
All event currency is spent in the Easter Shop, which is located in the lobby rather than in-game. Part 1 of the event offers six items split across three categories.
| Reward | Type | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Egg Hunter | Limited Class | 30 Eggs |
| Egg Topiary | Furniture | 20 Eggs |
| Hot Egg Balloon | Furniture | 80 Eggs |
| Golden Carrot | Furniture | 80 Eggs |
| Chocolate Bunny | Pet Skin | 100 Eggs |
| Chocolate Wolf | Pet Skin | 120 Eggs |
Buying everything in Part 1 costs a total of 430 Eggs. Since first-time unique egg submissions give 10 Eggs each, turning in all 11 types (assuming the Fish Egg gets fixed) nets you 110 Eggs before you even start farming duplicates at 1 Egg apiece. Prioritize new types first to build your currency quickly.
Egg Hunter Class — Perks and Upgrades
The Egg Hunter is the headline reward of Part 1 and costs 30 Eggs to unlock. It's a limited-time class that will disappear from your roster once the Easter event ends, so use it while it lasts. The class starts at 1 Star with no starter tools, but its perks are specifically designed to speed up egg farming.
| Level | Perk | Upgrade Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Extra credit when turning in an egg | Purchase for 30 Eggs |
| Level 2 | Gain speed for each egg in the basket | Submit 20 Easter Eggs to the Bunny |
| Level 3 | Nearby eggs are highlighted | Submit 40 Easter Eggs to the Bunny |
Level 2's speed boost is especially useful for chasing down Basic Eggs, which roll away the moment you approach. Level 3's highlight effect makes spotting eggs in dense biomes far easier. If you plan to grind for the more expensive cosmetics like the Chocolate Wolf (120 Eggs), unlocking and upgrading Egg Hunter early pays for itself in time saved.
Tips Worth Knowing
Cultists can occasionally spawn inside the Easter building structure, which makes finding the last one during a wave frustrating. If you're stuck at 7 of 8 for the Volcanic Egg, check inside the event hub area.
Using the scythe on chickens counts toward charging the blood bar, so you can double-dip while working on the Chick Egg. And if you notice the deer wearing bunny ears — that's purely cosmetic, not tied to any egg.
Part 2 of the Easter event has been confirmed, but no official release date or time has been announced yet. The current Part 1 content is the full scope of what's playable right now, so focus on collecting all obtainable eggs and spending currency in the shop before the next phase arrives.
