The Obsidiron Boots are a powerful piece of end-game footwear in 99 Nights in the Forest, offering superior protection and unique benefits. However, crafting them is a multi-step process that requires participation in the dangerous Meteor Shower event. This guide will walk you through the entire process, from triggering the event to forging the final boots.
The Obsidiron Boots Crafting Recipe
To craft the Obsidiron Boots, you will need the following materials:
10x Meteor Shard
1x Obsidiron Ingot
These materials cannot be found through normal gameplay and require specific actions during a special event.
Step 1: Unlocking the Crafting Station – The Meteor Anvil
The Obsidiron Boots cannot be crafted at a regular workbench. You must use a special station called the Meteor Anvil (also known as the Volcanic Anvil).
How to Find the Meteor Anvil:
Trigger the Meteor Shower Event: This event occurs randomly at night, but only after you have survived past Day 5. You will see the message “The sky is on fire” when it begins.
Locate the Anvil on the Map: Once the event is active, open your map and look for a distinct red anvil icon. This marks the location of the Meteor Anvil.
Secure the Area: The anvil is often located within a structure that is guarded by Meteor Crabs. You may need to defeat these enemies and potentially assemble the anvil before you can interact with it.
Step 2: Gathering the Required Materials
A. How to Get Meteor Shards (10x)
Meteor Shards are the more straightforward material to collect.
During the Meteor Shower event, locate the impact craters around the map.
Use your Pickaxe or Axe to mine the large, crystalline meteorites at the center of these craters.
Mining these meteorites will yield Meteor Shards as a primary resource.
B. How to Craft the Obsidiron Ingot (1x)
The Obsidiron Ingot is the most challenging component and requires a unique 3-step forging process.
Mine Raw Obsidiron Ore: From the same meteorites you mine for shards, you will also obtain Raw Obsidiron Ore.
Heat the Ore: Take the Raw Obsidiron Ore and throw it into a pool of lava. You can find lava in the Meteor Crater area. This will transform the ore into a Scalding Obsidiron Ingot.
Cool the Ingot: While the ingot is still scalding hot, you must cool it by throwing it into a body of water. This final step completes the process, turning it into a stable Obsidiron Ingot ready for crafting.
Step 3: Crafting the Obsidiron Boots
Once you have successfully gathered:
10x Meteor Shard
1x Obsidiron Ingot
Return to the Meteor Anvil you located earlier. Interact with it, and if you have the materials in your inventory, the Obsidiron Boots recipe will be available for crafting.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: What do the Obsidiron Boots do?
A: While exact stats can vary, they are a top-tier armor piece that typically offers high defense, fire resistance, and possibly unique movement bonuses.
Q: Can I get the Meteor Anvil at my base?
A: No, the Meteor Anvil is a static structure that appears on the map during the event. You must travel to its location to use it.
Q: What happens if I lose the Scalding Obsidiron Ingot?
A: If you drop it or it cools on the ground, it will likely become a useless lump. You must complete the heating and cooling steps in quick succession. You may need to start over with a new Raw Obsidiron Ore.
Q: Can I do this in Co-op mode?
A: Yes, having a friend can make the process much easier. One player can handle the enemies while the other focuses on the intricate ingot-forging process.
