Are you ready to cast your line into a sea of fire? Roblox 99 Nights in the Forest has introduced a brand-new volcanic biome, and with it, a unique fishing experience that’s both challenging and rewarding. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about fishing in lava, from upgrading your rod to catching new fish and unlocking special rewards.
Unlocking the Lava Biome and Your Fishing Rod
The volcanic biome is a limited-time area that first appeared in September 2025. For its initial two-week run, it replaced the snow biome, and now it spawns randomly throughout the game. Once you find it, you’ll discover a special lava lake where new and rare fish are waiting to be caught.
To start fishing in the lava, you’ll need the Strong Rod. You can’t just jump in with the basic rod you start with. Here’s a quick guide on how to get your hands on this powerful tool:
- Old Rod: This is the rod you get at the very beginning of your journey.
- Good Rod: You’ll need to upgrade from the Old Rod by gaining Fishing XP.
- Strong Rod: After you’ve caught enough fish with the Good Rod, you can upgrade it to the Strong Rod at the Fishing Hut. This is the only rod capable of withstanding the heat of the lava.
Make sure you’ve leveled up your fishing skills before you try to tackle the volcanic biome!
How to Fish in Lava: Catching Lionfish and Lava Eels
The mechanics for fishing in lava are the same as they are for normal fishing, but the rewards are much more valuable. First, make sure you have your Strong Rod equipped. Then, find the lava lake in the volcanic biome and click on it.
A mini-game will pop up. You’ll need to watch the cursor and press the button exactly when it lands in the green zone. If you time it correctly, you’ll successfully catch one of the new, exclusive fish.
The new creatures you can catch in the lava biome are:
- Lionfish: A striking and rare fish.
- Lava Eel: An elusive and fiery new eel.
Catching these new fish is essential for completing your collection and earning valuable rewards.
Fishing Achievements and Special Rewards
Fishing in the lava biome isn’t just about catching new fish; it also comes with new achievements and incredible rewards.
New Achievements
The volcanic biome update brings two new badges you can earn:
- Resourcefulness: Awarded for completing various tasks related to the volcanic biome.
- Volcanology: A special achievement for those who master the challenges of this new area.
If you’re an achievement hunter, these badges are a must-have!
Volcano Challenges and Special Rewards
Beyond fishing, the volcanic biome offers an interesting challenge: sacrificing items to the volcano. You can offer a tribute to the volcano to get additional rewards, which makes exploring this biome a thrilling experience.
But the most exciting part of lava fishing is the loot! When you cast your line, you aren’t guaranteed to just get a fish. There’s a chance you can reel in valuable items like:
- Ammunition
- Weapons
- Crafting Materials
These special drops can give you a major advantage in the game, making the journey to get a Strong Rod more than worth it.
So, get your Strong Rod ready and dive into the fiery depths of the new volcanic biome in 99 Nights! The challenges are great, but the rewards are even better. Happy fishing!
