This update adds new underground areas, more challenges, and makes an old enemy, The Bat, more dangerous.

This article tells you when the update starts and ends, what is new in Caves Part 2, and how to get ready.
99 Nights in the Forest Caves Part 2
What is Caves Part 2?
Caves Part 2 is a special event that makes the caves in 99 Nights in the Forest bigger and harder. New cave sections are added and connected to the old caves. These new areas are deeper, darker, and longer than before. The event will last about one week. After that, the new parts may stay in the game or be changed later.
What is the Admin Abuse Event?
The Admin Abuse event is a special server where the game’s admins join and give free rewards. Players can get free diamonds, tools, weapons, and special looks for their character. The event also has fun things like admins doing special actions, giving power‑ups, and making special challenges. The Admin Abuse event happens at the same time as the Caves Part 2 update, so players can get good items before going into the new caves.
Caves Part 2 Release Date and Time
The Caves Part 2 update and the Admin Abuse event start on Saturday, January 17, 2026 and end on Saturday, January 24, 2026. This gives players about one week to play the new caves, face the new challenges, and collect event rewards. The Admin Abuse event is a short Update Party that happens just before the update, but the new cave content (including The Bat) stays until the end date.

New Features in Caves Part 2
The Caves Part 2 update for 99 Nights in the Forest is a limited‑time event that makes the underground caves bigger and harder. The official message says that new areas are being added to the caves and that players should “BEWARE THE BAT”. This section explains what this means in simple words.
New Cave Areas
The update adds new connected cave zones that link to the old caves. These new areas are deeper, darker, and longer than the old caves, with more paths and fewer safe spots. Players will need to manage their light, stamina, and health carefully while exploring.
Increased Challenges
The new cave areas are more challenging than the original caves. Paths may be narrower, it may be harder to see, and there may be more enemies. Players will likely face stronger waves of cultists and other monsters, and may need better gear and teamwork to survive deep inside.
The Bat in Caves Part 2
The update focuses on The Bat, a dangerous flying enemy that was already in the game from the earlier Bat Entity / Cave update. The Bat is not new, but in Caves Part 2 it becomes a bigger threat in the expanded caves.
The Bat is a blind creature that lives only in the underground caves. It cannot see players but can hear movement and sound. When it attacks, it makes a loud screech and sends out a red shockwave that damages players in its range and blurs the screen for a short time.
To survive, players should:
- Stay behind rocks or walls when The Bat screeches.
- Avoid making loud noises in tight tunnels.
- Use ranged weapons to attack from a safe distance.
Since The Bat is blind, it does not chase players like other enemies, but its area attack makes it very dangerous in narrow spaces.
Preparation for Caves Part 2
To survive the new caves, players should:
- Upgrade armor and weapons before entering.
- Always carry a flashlight or lantern for the dark areas.
- Collect plenty of food, healing items, and stamina boosts.
- Play with friends so the team can watch for enemies and help each other.
- Join the Admin Abuse event first to get free diamonds and better gear.
Summary
The Caves Part 2 update for 99 Nights in the Forest adds new underground areas, makes cave exploration harder, and gives a bigger role to an existing enemy, The Bat. The update comes with an Admin Abuse event that runs from January 17, 2026 to January 24, 2026. Players in different countries can use the table to find the exact start and end times in their local time. By upgrading gear, collecting supplies, playing with others, and joining the Admin Abuse event, players can handle the new caves better and enjoy all the limited‑time content.
