Overview[1]
1-2 Cultist Experiment(s) (random); 1-2 Cultist Prototype(s) (random); 2 Gem Cultist Gems; Gem of the Forest Fragment; Ruby Chest; Diamond Chest The Cultist Stronghold, also known as the Stronghold, is a Special type of Structure in 99 Nights in the Forest.
The Cultist Stronghold is a high-risk, high-reward structure filled with powerful enemies and valuable loot. Due to the large number of hostile Cultists guarding it, this area is not recommended for beginners. Players should only attempt it if they have strong Ranged Weapons or are confident in their combat skills. The Stronghold resets every 20 minutes and becomes harder each time, offering repeat opportunities for those prepared to face the challenge. The Cultist Stronghold can be seen on the Map as an icon, with a 3-diamond symbol in a grey circle. During the Cultist Stronghold update, there was an exclamation mark at the icon. The Cultist Stronghold is a large stone-brick structure with a castle-like design. A low railing lines both sides of the ramp leading up to heavy wooden doors set into a stone archway. Just outside of the ramp are sharpened sticks symbolizing their defensive and violent nature. The building features arched, desaturated blue-gray windows, two of which are boarded up. The roof has a castle-like design showing in the uneven stone patterns at the very top. The most focal point of this structure is the circle handing right over the doors. On it are three glowing blue diamonds showcasing the riches and perhaps tempting players to go inside to fight for the loot. It has a gray brick structure with 2-3 doors on each side that Cultists come through. The first floor has a closet that can sometimes have loot inside. There is a hallway to the right of the closet that leads to the entrance of the spiraling stairs of the second floor.

Tips
The Deer does not spawn if players are inside the Cultist Stronghold, whether The Deer is hungry or not. The Deer can be lured inside the Cultist Stronghold if the players purposefully attempts to do so. If your Campfire goes out, then The Deer will spawn there. If The Deer spawns inside the stronghold, try to go up to the second floor. The Deer cannot climb the spiraling staircase. After completely raiding the Cultist Stronghold, the building will allow you to raid it again after 20 minutes. The Cultist Stronghold has 4 levels. The level increases when the player completes raiding the Cultist Stronghold. The higher the level, the more difficult it is to raid. After beating Level 4, the Cultist Stronghold will not reset to Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3. Raiding the Cultist Stronghold again will only continue as Level 4. The Cultist Stronghold can be raided infinitely. The Cultists' health and their army size in the Cultist Stronghold depend on the number of players in the server. Cultists can have up to 300 (unverified) health when there are 5 players in a Level 4 Stronghold. Upon killing all of the Cultists on one floor, an unlocking sound can be heard (the same unlocking sound as opening the doors to the missing children's dungeons) signifying that the player is able to proceed to the next floor. The Juggernaut Cultist only spawns in Level 3 or 4 Strongholds. The Cultist Stronghold appears on the Map at Campfire Level 3, but can be raided at Level 4. Players can hide behind the walls with Ranged Weapons peeking out so Cultists will not attack, even if they are damaged.
Trivia
The Cultist Stronghold is the most difficult structure to challenge due to the increase of difficulty everytime you beat it. The Cultist Stronghold is a heavily-grinded structure for its Diamond Chest giving. The Cultist Stronghold is one of the structures detected by the Radar. If you stay in a Cultist Stronghold when a Cultist Raid is about to happen, the raid will be cancelled. (If you go inside the Cultist Stronghold before the Cultist Raid, the warning appears.) The Cultist Stronghold is nicknamed the "Stronghold" by players. Category:Dangerous Category:Special Structures Category:Structures Category:Locations Category:Forest Biome
