If you’re wondering how to get the Humiliation Badge in 99 Nights in the Forest, you’re not alone. This secret badge has confused many players due to the lack of in-game instructions. The key requirement? You must die from a Bear Trap, not just take damage from it.
This guide explains exactly how to unlock the badge, including how to craft a Bear Trap, upgrade your Crafting Bench, and trigger your own death to meet the badge condition.
What Is the Humiliation Badge?
The Humiliation Badge is a hidden achievement in 99 Nights in the Forest, awarded when a player dies to their own Bear Trap. It’s meant as a humorous or ironic unlock, and it requires specific crafting steps and intentional self-damage.
Step 1: Upgrade the Crafting Bench to Level 2
You cannot craft a Bear Trap unless your Crafting Bench is upgraded.
Materials Required:
5 Logs
1 Bolt
How to Get These Materials:
Logs: Chop down trees and process the wood using the Processor station.
Bolt: Made from Scrap at the same Processor.
Once you’ve collected the materials:
Approach your Crafting Bench
Select the Upgrade option
Confirm the upgrade to Level 2
Step 2: Craft a Bear Trap
After the bench is upgraded, the Bear Trap recipe becomes available.
Bear Trap Recipe:
3 Bolts
To craft it:
Interact with your Level 2 Crafting Bench
Choose Bear Trap
Ensure you have 3 Bolts (convert more Scrap if needed)
Place the finished Bear Trap in your inventory
Step 3: Trigger the Bear Trap Until You Die
Now comes the tricky part—killing yourself with the trap.
Instructions:
Place the Bear Trap directly in front of your character
Activate the trap
Jump onto it (walk over it or jump into it)
After taking damage, wait for cooldown, then reset the trap if necessary
Repeat the process 3–4 times until your HP reaches zero
Important: Simply taking damage won’t trigger the badge—you must die as a direct result of the Bear Trap.
Once you die from it, the Humiliation Badge will automatically be awarded.
Step 4: Revive If You Want to Continue
After dying for the badge, you have two options:
Multiplayer: Ask a teammate to revive you with a bandage
Solo: Spend Robux to revive and continue playing without resetting progress
Final Tips
Place the trap on flat ground for consistent activation
Make sure you’re at full health before starting to avoid accidental miscount
If playing with friends, let them know in advance so they don’t revive you too early
Final Thoughts
Unlocking the Humiliation Badge in 99 Nights in the Forest requires a combination of crafting knowledge and intentional self-destruction. While it may seem odd, it’s a fun Easter egg for completionists and badge hunters.
Upgrade your Crafting Bench, build your Bear Trap, and take the hit—literally. Once you’ve died the required way, the badge is yours to keep (and quietly laugh at).
