Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Anvil be moved once placed?

Yes, but it requires disassembling which returns only 50% of the original materials. It's better to plan its placement carefully from the start.

Is the Anvil essential for surviving all 99 nights?

While technically not absolutely essential, attempting to survive without the Anvil's upgrades becomes extremely difficult after Night 30. The weapons and defensive items it provides are practically necessary for the later stages of the game.

Which is more important to build first: Anvil or Watchtower?

For solo players, the Anvil typically takes priority as weapon upgrades are crucial for survival. In teams, you might coordinate with some players building watchtowers while others work on the Anvil.

Can you upgrade the Anvil to access better recipes?

Currently, the Anvil doesn't have upgrade levels itself, but better recipes unlock as you progress through the nights and rescue missing children throughout the forest.
