Cookie Run Kingdom’s Chain of Silent Beast Raid (October 2025) Master Rank Guide
Breaking into Master and Master X rank in Cookie Run: Kingdom’s Chain of Silent Beast Raid demands precision, optimal team…
I’ve been absolutely obsessed with the latest update in 99 Nights in the Forest, and for good reason. The Taming Update has completely transformed how I approach survival in this eerie Roblox experience. Gone are the days when every creature in the forest wanted me dead now I can turn former enemies into loyal companions who fight by my side.
When I first heard about animal taming coming to 99 Nights, I honestly couldn’t believe it. The same wolves that had been terrorizing me during nighttime raids? Now they’re my best friends. The bears that used to send me running back to my campfire? They’re basically my personal bodyguards now. This update has added an entirely new layer of strategy and emotional connection to the game, and I’m here to share everything I’ve learned about mastering the Taming Flute.
The Taming Update dropped on October 4, 2025, during a special admin event that introduced one of the most requested features in the game’s history. This isn’t just a minor tweak—it’s a complete game-changer that fundamentally alters how players interact with the forest’s wildlife.
The centerpiece of this update is the Taming Flute, a magical instrument that allows players to befriend various animals throughout the forest. From harmless bunnies to powerful mammoths, nearly every creature can now become your ally. The flute works through a timing-based mini-game combined with a feeding system, and it levels up as you successfully tame more animals.
What makes this update so special is that it taps into the game’s existing lore. Remember those collared wolves and bears guarding the children’s caves? Well, now you can have your own collared companions doing the same for your campfire. The developers have seamlessly integrated taming into the survival mechanics, making it feel like it was always meant to be part of the experience.
The update runs through October 11, 2025, giving players a full week to experiment with the new mechanics. However, based on community response (over 1.2 million players showed interest), I wouldn’t be surprised if taming becomes a permanent feature.
Let me be real with you—before this update, solo survival in 99 Nights could be absolutely brutal. Those nighttime cultist raids? Terrifying when you’re alone. The alpha wolves spawning in groups? A nightmare. But now? Now I’ve got my own wolf pack backing me up, and it feels incredible.
What I love most about the taming system is how it rewards preparation and strategy. You can’t just walk up to a bear and expect it to follow you home. You need to hunt for specific food items, time your flute playing perfectly, and invest resources into upgrading your equipment. It’s challenging without being frustrating, and that balance is exactly what makes it satisfying.
The emotional connection is real too. I’ve named all my tamed animals—my first wolf is called Shadow, and my bear goes by Brutus. When Shadow helps me take down a group of cultists, or when Brutus tanks damage while I heal up, it genuinely feels like we’re a team. The game has transformed from a lonely survival horror into something that feels more like a fantasy adventure with companions.
Plus, watching newer players build their first bunny farm is adorable. There’s something wholesome about seeing someone get excited over their first carrot-munching friend hopping around their campfire.
Getting your hands on the Taming Flute is your first step toward building your animal army. The flute is introduced during the admin event, and you’ll receive it relatively early in your playthrough—usually within the first few in-game days if you’re actively participating in the event activities.
Once you have the flute, equip it from your inventory by opening your bag and selecting it as your active tool. The flute will appear in your hand, ready to use whenever you encounter a tameable animal.
Here’s where things get interesting. When you approach a tameable animal with your flute equipped, you’ll notice a circular indicator appears above the creature. This circle has different colored sections, with green being your target zone.
The mechanic works like this:
My personal tip? Don’t panic and click immediately. Wait for the marker to make one full rotation so you can gauge its speed, then time your click on the second pass. This dramatically improved my success rate when I was starting out.
After successfully hitting the green zone, you’ll see emojis appear above the animal’s head. These emojis indicate what the creature needs next—usually food. Pay attention to these indicators, as they’re your guide through the feeding process.
If you’re new to taming, bunnies are absolutely where you should start. They’re the easiest creatures to tame in the entire game, and honestly, they’re just adorable additions to your campfire.
The beauty of bunnies is that they’re low-risk, high-reward for beginners. Each bunny you tame gives your flute experience points, helping you level up faster. I spent my first hour just taming bunnies around my campfire, and it was totally worth it.
Pro Tip from My Experience: Build a small carrot farm near your base as early as possible. Plant carrot seeds in designated farming plots and keep them watered. This ensures you’ll never run out of taming food, and carrots grow relatively quickly compared to other crops. I keep at least 20 carrots in my inventory at all times.
Bunnies also serve a practical purpose beyond being cute. They can help you track other small animals and provide early warning signals when hostile mobs are approaching your campfire area.
Once your flute hits a decent experience level, it’s time to upgrade to wolves. This is where taming gets significantly more exciting because wolves are active combat companions that will defend you during raids.
This mistake cost me my first three taming attempts, so learn from my pain: DO NOT store raw steak in your Infernal Sack. The Infernal Sack automatically cooks any raw meat you place inside it, and cooked meat won’t work for taming purposes. Keep your raw steak in your regular inventory slots until you’re ready to use it.
I learned this the hard way when I spent 30 minutes hunting wolves for steak, stored everything in my Infernal Sack, then couldn’t figure out why the taming wouldn’t work. The game doesn’t explicitly warn you about this, so consider yourself warned!
Once tamed, your wolf becomes incredibly useful:
My wolf Shadow has saved me more times than I can count. During cultist raids, having a wolf companion flanking enemies while I shoot from range makes a massive difference in survival.
Alpha Wolves represent a significant step up in the taming hierarchy. These powerful creatures require Level 2 on your Taming Flute, which you achieve by successfully taming multiple lower-tier animals.
The Alpha Wolf taming process is time-consuming and resource-intensive. I recommend stockpiling ingredients before attempting it, rather than trying to gather them mid-taming. You’ll need:
Raw Steak: Hunt regular wolves or bears Corn: Plant corn seeds in your farm plots Stew: Craft at the Crock Pot using various ingredients
My Strategy: I dedicate Day 13 and 14 to pure resource gathering before alpha wolves start spawning. By Day 15, I have a full inventory of taming supplies ready to go.
Flute upgrades are essential for accessing higher-tier animals. Your flute levels up through a combination of experience points from successful taming and manual upgrades at specific crafting stations.
Every animal you successfully tame grants experience points to your flute:
The more challenging the tame, the more experience you earn. This creates a natural progression system where you start with easy animals and gradually work your way up.
To manually upgrade your flute to the next level, visit the crafting building in the forest. This is the same structure you use for upgrading fishing rods—it looks like a small workshop with various crafting benches inside.
Location Tip: The crafting building is typically found in the central forest area, near where you’d find other utility structures. Look for a wooden building with crafting icons above it.
At the crafting building, you’ll need specific materials to upgrade:
I always make sure to upgrade my flute as soon as I have the materials available. The ability to tame higher-tier animals unlocks so much strategic potential that it’s worth prioritizing over some base upgrades.
Bears represent the pinnacle of standard animal taming (before mammoths). These absolute units require Level 3 on your Taming Flute and substantial preparation.
Bear taming is the most resource-intensive process I’ve encountered. You’ll need roughly:
My Farming Strategy: I start growing pumpkins on Day 3 or 4, way before I even attempt bear taming. Pumpkins take several in-game days to fully mature, so early planting is crucial. I also maintain a separate “taming supply” section of my base specifically for storing these materials.
Once tamed, bears are absolute powerhouses:
My bear Brutus has become the cornerstone of my defense strategy. During major cultist raids, he tanks damage while my wolves flank and I provide ranged support. It’s an incredibly effective combat formation.
Mammoths are the ultimate taming achievement. These prehistoric giants require Level 3 Taming Flute and an obscene amount of patience and resources.
The mammoth taming process is so resource-intensive that I recommend only attempting it once you’ve established a solid base with multiple sources of rib production. You’ll need to hunt several mammoths just to have enough ribs to tame one mammoth, which feels like some kind of metaphor for survival.
Successfully taming a mammoth grants you:
I’ve only successfully tamed one mammoth, and it took me three real-world hours of gameplay. But when I rode into a multiplayer server with a mammoth following me, the reaction from other players made it totally worth the grind.
Beyond the main tameable creatures, the developers have added several unique animals during various events and updates.
During special events, bird creatures appear that can be tamed using berries. These are typically temporary event animals, but they’re worth collecting while available:
The game allows you to tame multiple animals simultaneously, letting you create an actual army of companions. Here’s my optimal formation:
For Solo Play:
For Team Play:
1. Always Carry Extra Food I cannot stress this enough. Taming consumes massive amounts of resources, and you don’t want to be halfway through a bear tame only to realize you’re one pumpkin short. I keep a dedicated “taming chest” at my base filled with:
2. Avoid Fighting Near Tamed Pets Your tamed animals can take damage from stray attacks—including YOUR attacks. I learned this after accidentally shooting my wolf Shadow during a chaotic cultist raid. Now I position my pets strategically before combat starts, keeping them away from my firing line.
3. Use the Sit Command Strategically The sit command isn’t just cute—it’s tactically important. Before dangerous situations, I make my animals sit at a safe location. This prevents them from running into hazards or getting killed by overwhelming enemy numbers. After the threat passes, I recall them to follow mode.
4. Pet Management Menu Access the pet management menu by clicking on your tamed animal. This allows you to:
5. Reviving Fallen Pets If your pet dies, don’t panic immediately. Depending on the update version you’re playing, there may be revival mechanics through specific items or crafting stations. Always check the latest patch notes for pet death mechanics.
6. Farm Location Matters Place your farms strategically near your taming operation area. I maintain two farm locations:
This reduces travel time and keeps you safer from nighttime predators while gathering supplies.
7. Multiplayer Taming Coordination In team games, assign roles:
As of October 2025, the taming system continues to evolve with each update. Here’s what’s changed recently:
The developers have been incredibly responsive to feedback. Based on community requests, they’ve added:
While there aren’t codes specifically for taming items, some active codes can help you unlock classes or gain resources useful for the taming process:
Active Codes (October 2025):
To redeem codes:
Note: Codes are case-sensitive and expire regularly. Always check for new codes after major updates, as developers often release them to celebrate new features like the Taming Update.
After spending dozens of hours with the taming system, here are my top strategies that most guides don’t mention:
Create an efficient loop for continuous taming:
Different animal combinations work better for specific situations:
Against Cultist Raids:
For Forest Exploration:
For Boss Encounters:
If you’re trying to level your flute quickly:
The timing mini-game becomes easier when you understand its patterns:
Dedicated tamers should structure their inventory like this:
Hotbar Slots:
Main Inventory:
Optimize your base layout to support taming:
This layout lets you quickly gather resources, craft necessary items, and return to taming without wasted travel time.
Sometimes taming fails despite your best efforts. Here’s how to handle it:
If you miss the timing:
If you run out of food mid-tame:
If the animal dies during taming:
No, the Taming Flute is absolutely required for all animal taming in the game. It’s introduced during the admin event and is the only item that can initiate the taming process.
While there’s no hard cap shown in the UI, practically speaking you can maintain around 5-7 tamed animals simultaneously before management becomes difficult. The game may have a technical limit, but I’ve personally never reached it with seven animals following me.
No, if your tamed animal dies, it’s permanently gone. You’ll need to tame a new animal to replace it. This is why protecting your pets during combat is so important, especially high-tier animals like bears and mammoths.
As of the October 2025 update, a pet trading system has been implemented. You can trade tamed animals with other players through the multiplayer menu, though both players must have the required flute level to receive certain animals.
Farm bunnies relentlessly. Set up multiple carrot farms, create a bunny pen, and just tame as many bunnies as you can. It’s repetitive but incredibly effective for flute leveling. I went from Level 1 to Level 2 in about 90 minutes using this method.
Yes! Bunnies provide early warning detection, wolves offer combat damage, bears tank damage with high HP, and mammoths provide both tanking and crowd control through knockback. Each animal type serves distinct tactical purposes.
Indirectly, yes. While animals don’t automatically gather wood or mine scrap, they protect you during gathering activities and can hunt smaller animals that drop resources like bunny feet or morsels.
While community speculation suggested a Beast Tamer class might be added, as of October 2025, no specific taming-focused class exists. However, the Ranger class’s starting equipment makes it easier to hunt animals for taming food.
Yes, you can rename pets at any time through the pet management menu. Just click on your tamed animal and select the rename option.
No, once an animal is fully tamed, it doesn’t require ongoing food. This was a smart design choice by the developers that keeps the system from becoming tedious micromanagement.
Yes, in multiplayer servers, other players can attack and kill your tamed animals. This is especially relevant during PvP encounters or cultist-aligned player raids. Keep your valuable pets safe during hostile player situations.
No, there’s currently no breeding system for any animals in the game. All new companions must be tamed from wild animals.
The Taming Update has fundamentally changed how I experience 99 Nights in the Forest. What used to be a solitary survival horror experience has evolved into something more dynamic and strategic. Building relationships with animals, coordinating pet formations during combat, and working toward that legendary mammoth tame—these elements have added layers of depth I didn’t expect.
Whether you’re just starting with your first bunny or pushing toward that mammoth tame, remember that taming is about patience and preparation. Stock up on resources, time your flute clicks carefully, and don’t get discouraged by failed attempts. Every successful tame brings you closer to having a powerful animal army at your side.
Now get out there and start building your own forest companions. Trust me, the first time your wolf pack takes down a cultist raid while you provide covering fire, you’ll understand why this update has captured the community’s attention. Happy taming, survivors!
