How to Get Bandages in 99 Nights in the Forest
Bandages are the difference between a clean rescue run and a run that dies to one mistake — they heal 50 HP and revive downed teammates on the spot. Here's every source, and why the Medic class is the reliable one.
What a Bandage Does
A Bandage is a medical item that works in two ways:
- Heal — restores 50 HP when used on yourself.
- Revive — brings a downed teammate back on the spot (similar to a Medkit). Without one, a downed player respawns far from the group and loses their gear.
All Ways to Get a Bandage
| Source | Details | Reliability |
|---|---|---|
| Chests | Common, Good and Iron Chests | Common — check every chest you open |
| Clinic | Loot the Clinic location on your route | Reliable if it's on your map |
| Tool Trader | Sells bandages as campfire level rises | Reliable mid-game |
| Medic class | Starts with bandages; 5x faster revives | Best guaranteed source |
| Support class | Starts with a bandage | Good duo pick |
| Fishing | Bandages can be caught while fishing | Unreliable but free |
| Natural spawns | Can spawn around campfire level 4–5 | Late-game bonus |
Bandages are not craftable — you can't make them at the crafting bench. That's why the Medic class (40 Diamonds) is the single most reliable bandage source for teams.
Bandage Strategy
- Teams: bring a Medic — guaranteed bandages plus 5x faster revives save runs that would otherwise wipe.
- Solo: stock 1–2 bandages from chests for emergencies; your own health is all you're protecting.
- Rescue runs: pack a bandage before rescuing children — cave guards (bears) hit hard and a down mid-cave is a lost run.
- Late game: once the fire is level 4–5, watch for natural bandage spawns and top up before the 90+ night stretch.
