How to Revive a Teammate in 99 Nights in the Forest

This is the standard teammate-revival method, using PC controls. At least one teammate must still be alive and able to reach the fallen player. You need a Bandage or Medkit; a Sack is useful if the body is somewhere dangerous. A special Medic class is not required.

A Bandage is a white rolled gauze item with a red band around its middle. A Medkit is a white case with a red stripe and a green cross. Either can revive a teammate, and the used item is consumed. A Sack or weapon cannot replace the medicine.

This walkthrough starts with one medicine item already collected. Bandages can appear in loot chests and sometimes at a Clinic; a chest is not a guaranteed Bandage. Keep a medicine item for the rescue instead of spending the last one on ordinary self-healing.

If the team has a Map at camp, look near the campfire for the upright wooden board with a dark map face. It is a piece of camp equipment, not a small minimap in the corner of the screen. A fallen teammate can be marked there by a yellow diamond. Use the diamond’s position relative to the camp marker to locate the area.

At that location, look for the teammate’s avatar lying on the ground. The yellow diamond is on the Map; do not expect it to float above the body. If the camp has no Map board, use the teammate’s last known position rather than searching for a nonexistent screen-corner map. Avoid beginning the rescue while nearby enemies can immediately attack you.

Look along the bottom item bar for the Sack you carry. The Old Sack looks like a light-brown cloth bag tied at the neck with a dark knot. Select its item slot and check that your character holds that bag. Slot order can change, so match the item picture instead of copying a fixed slot number.

The diagram shows the change you will make later: Sack for carrying, then a white/red Bandage or green-cross Medkit for reviving. The medicine should already be in your carried items before you begin the rescue; an item still lying on the ground is not one already equipped.

With the Sack held, stand close to the fallen avatar and aim at the body. Use F to store it. The body should no longer lie at your feet because it is now inside the Sack. If storing fails, check that the Sack has room and that it—not the axe or medicine—is selected.

Carry it to a clear patch of ground near camp, away from enemies and clutter. With the Sack still selected, tap F to unstore one item. The Sack unloads the most recently stored item first, so storing the body last makes retrieval easier. Holding F can unload everything instead; do not hold it just to drop one body. You are ready for the next step when the teammate’s avatar is lying on the ground again, not still stored in the Sack.

Moving the body is optional if the place is already safe enough. Transport alone does not revive the player, and the camp is not a promise of protection from every attack.

Return to the bottom item bar and select the Bandage or Medkit slot, matching the medicine pictured in step 1. Check that the white gauze roll or white case is now held, not the Sack. Stand next to the avatar on the ground and hold E to revive. Keep holding the interaction until it finishes; one quick tap is not the full action.

Watch for the teammate to stand up again. That is the useful completion check. The key and progress ring in our diagram explain the action; they are not a screenshot of the live prompt. Using medicine on yourself is a different action and will not revive a teammate still lying nearby.

The body is still inside the Sack: unstore it onto clear ground before using the medicine beside it.

You hold a Sack, axe or another item: select the Bandage or Medkit by its picture in the bottom item bar, then move close to the fallen avatar.

Nothing completes after a tap: this revive action is held. Check the interaction beside the body and keep holding until the player stands.

You are dead in a solo run, or nobody remains alive: ordinary Bandages and Medkits cannot perform this teammate rescue by themselves. A separate paid-revive feature is not this medicine method.
