Trident — In-Depth Analysis
The Trident is a melee weapon in 99 Nights in the Forest with a listed damage value around 37.5, putting it firmly in the heavy-hitting tier of close-combat gear. That kind of output lets it carve through wolves and tougher beasts in far fewer swings than starter axes or spears, making it a genuine combat upgrade rather than a novelty.
The real story, though, is its rarity. The Trident is earned almost exclusively through Fishing, and it is considered the single rarest fishing reward in the game — the odds of reeling it in are extremely low. Your best bet is casting in Skeleton (Bone) Lakes, where it surfaces more often than in ordinary lakes or ponds. It could also drop from the gold presents of the 2025 Christmas event, giving seasonal players a second route to it.
Verdict: if luck hands you a Trident, keep it — the strong damage makes it a top-tier melee option for defending camp or clearing dangerous areas. But do not build your survival plan around acquiring one; the fishing odds are too punishing. Treat it as a prized bonus, not a reliable goal, and fish the Bone Lakes if you are determined to chase it.
