How to Obtain Diamonds in 99 Nights in the Forest

Run Cultist Stronghold speed runs from the Forest Zone mission terminal for a guaranteed 5 diamonds per completion, aiming for 20-25 minute clears with a fast team featuring Alien and healer classes. Skip non-essential fights against grunts, marksmen, brutes, mages, champions, and shadow assassins to minimize time, prioritizing the boss chest as the primary reward source.

Camper class aids passive farming through sustained base management, while reaching Day 99 survival yields bonus gems.​​

There are various ways to obtain diamonds in 99 Nights in the Forest. You can farm them from Chests, Cultist Strongholds, and Badges. There are also some quick ways to obtain them using 99 Nights in the Forest Codes and Robux. Here is a list of all the ways to get Diamonds.

1. Chests

You can obtain a single diamond from Common, Legendary, Cold, Ice, Iron, Good, and Gold Chests. Yes, you heard that right, ‘one single diamond‘ from finding and opening a lot of chests! It is like finding a single grain of salt in a sack of rice. This is because there are a lot of items that you can get from a chest, which means there is a very low chance of getting a Diamond.

Note: There is another version of a Chest called the Diamond Chest, which you can obtain in the Cultist Stronghold.

2. Surviving Days

You will be rewarded with 2 Diamonds after reaching Day 50 and 3 Diamonds after 99 Days. This is rewarded every time you pass the day. Every time you play a round, aim for the 99 Day mark, as it will give you 5 Diamonds.

3. Yay Fishing

Did you know you can type ‘Yay Fishing’ in the chat when fishing, and obtain Diamonds? Yes, typing and sending it to the chat will reward you with 2 Diamonds. However, it is a one-time reward.

4. Badges

Badges are your second-best option to farm diamonds in 99 Nights in the Forest. Each badge offers a specific amount of Diamonds, which is a one-time reward. On the bright side, there are a lot of badges (approx 35 ) in 99 Nights in the Forest, and all of them combined can give you 100 Diamonds. If you are a new player, aim to obtain all the badges, if not all of them, then as many as possible.

5. Cultist Stronghold

The Cultist Stronghold is a building structure filled with powerful Cultists and valuable loot. It can be seen on the map a 3-diamond symbol in a grey circle. If you have played the game for a while, then you might want to raid the building. Make sure you have some good weapons and bring your team.

There are three floors in the Stronghold, and the third floor contains a secret chamber with a Ruby and a Diamond Chest, which gives around 5 diamonds in 99 Nights in the Forest. The Stronghold resets every 20 minutes and becomes harder on each attempt. You can earn up to 15 diamonds an hour and 30 if the x2 weekend is active.

6. Update Parties

Update Party takes place an hour before the updates, every Saturday. This is like an admin abuse event that happens in other popular Roblox games. To get diamonds, you’ll have to enter an Update Party match, and the admins will spawn diamonds around the campfire. You can only get diamonds from admins when they spawn them, and no chests will have Diamonds. Remember, you must collect the diamonds from the ground before they are gone.

7. Codes

Codes are the best and easiest way to obtain some free diamonds. These codes are released by the devs during an update, and some of them can give free gems in 99 Nights in the Forest. Once you have a code, go to the currency shop and redeem it from the ‘CODES’ tab.

8. Spending Robux

The Currency Shop in the 99 Nights lobby allows players to purchase diamonds for Robux. There are various diamond packs you can select.

• 700 Diamonds for 2500 Robux
• 250 Diamonds for 900 Robux
• 100 Diamonds for 400 Robux
• 20 Diamonds for 99 Robux

How to Use Diamonds in 99 Nights in the Forest

Diamonds can be used to speed up crafting, buy rare materials, and revive your character during difficult encounters. They also let you purchase exclusive skins, tools, and decorations that enhance your base and character appearance. Saving some diamonds for limited-time events or premium items is smart, as these often provide unique rewards not available through regular gameplay.

There are only two uses of diamonds in 99 Nights in the Forest: buying classes and adding new talents to a class.

Firstly, you can use gems to buy 99 Nights in the Forest Classes from the Daily Class Shop. There are around 28 Classes in the game, and each class has a different price. The price of a Class depends on its rarity and utility. So, make sure you go through them before purchasing one.

Secondly, you can add talent to your current class using gems in 99 Nights in the Forest. Talents are perks from other Classes that you can add to a class and create a perfect one according to your game style.

Best team composition for Cultist Stronghold runs

The best team compositions for Cultist Stronghold runs in 99 Nights in the Forest prioritize a mix of high DPS, tankiness, and support to clear enemies quickly while surviving boss damage.​

Optimal 4-Player Team

A balanced 3-4 player squad handles the Stronghold’s cultists, archers, and boss effectively, with roles for frontline, ranged DPS, and sustain. Cyborg leads as the top all-purpose class for its laser cannon and armor, paired with Vampire or Alien for infinite-ammo raygun clears. Add Chef for food buffs (health/speed) and a secondary DPS like Big Game Hunter or Infernal Crossbow Hunter for AoE.​​

• Cyborg: Main DPS/tank with laser cannon; kites and shreds mobs.​

• Vampire or Alien: Secondary ranged DPS; raygun for infinite ammo clears.​​

• Chef: Support for recipe buffs and sustain.​

• Big Game Hunter or Cyborg dupe: Extra damage and buffs for late clears.​

Duo/Small Team Options

For 2 players, double up on Cyborgs or Vampires for synergy, as duplicates amplify power (e.g., 2 Cyborgs for overheated AoE dominance). Avoid healers if kiting well; focus on Assassin for stealth picks if undergeared.​

Loadout Essentials

Equip rayguns, rifles, armor, bandages, and spears for all; skip melee on ranged classes. Enter at level 4+ fire with maps/compasses; scale difficulty matches team size.​​

Which classes counter Cultist ranged units best

Cyborg and Vampire classes counter Cultist ranged units (like archers and mages) best in 99 Nights in the Forest due to their infinite-ammo rayguns and high mobility for kiting.​​

Top Counter Classes

Cyborg excels with its laser cannon for sustained AoE damage while dodging projectiles, shredding groups before they fire. Vampire follows closely, using lifesteal and raygun spam to out-sustain ranged chip damage during approaches. Both classes’ overheated modes melt mobs at range without reloading.​​

Why They Excel

These classes prioritize speed and infinite ammo over melee, allowing safe circling of cultist camps to neutralize archers first. Infernal Crossbow Hunter serves as a budget alternative for explosive AoE clears on stationary ranged foes.​​
