How to get Hammer in 99 Nights in the Forest
The Hammer is usually
obtained in one of three ways: start with it by choosing a class that includes
it, craft it at the Tool Workshop, or find it in a chest while exploring. The
most reliable method is crafting, since it does not depend on class unlocks or
luck.
Quick Scoop
- Pick the Decorator or Blacksmith class to spawn with a Hammer already equipped.
- Find the Tool Workshop, clear the enemies, rebuild the Anvil from its broken pieces, then craft the Hammer there.
- Some guides also mention that Hammer can appear in chests, but that is the least dependable method.
Crafting method
To craft the Hammer, head to the Tool Workshop, which
guides describe as a large workshop/castle-like structure marked with an anvil
theme and often found once your campfire is upgraded enough to unlock that
area. After breaking the wooden barrier and dealing with the enemies inside,
collect the three Anvil parts spread across the building and place them on the
center outline to rebuild the Anvil. Once the Anvil is fixed, interact with
the crafting table and make the Hammer using 5 Logs and 5 Scrap Metal.
Class method
If you want the fastest start, choose a class that
begins with the Hammer. The guides consistently name **Decorator** and
**Blacksmith** as the classes that spawn with it. This is convenient, but it
costs in-game currency, so crafting is usually the better route if you want to
save resources.
Chest method
A few guides mention finding the Hammer in chests while
exploring the map. That route is possible, but it sounds random and unreliable
compared with crafting or class selection. If you are already looting deeper
areas, it can be a bonus find rather than your main plan.
Fastest route
- Upgrade your campfire enough to reach the area where the Tool Workshop appears.
- Go to the workshop and break the blocked entrance.
- Defeat the enemies inside.
- Find all three Anvil pieces and rebuild the Anvil.
- Craft the Hammer with 5 Logs and 5 Scrap Metal.
For most players, crafting is the cleanest answer: it is
repeatable, does not rely on lucky drops, and gives you the Hammer as soon as
you unlock the workshop path.
