Overview
If you are having trouble with the animatronics and stuffs then read this guide! This also a work in progress, as such please feel free to tell me anything wrong with it.

If you see him in the vent lights equip the freddy mask IMMEDIATLY or else you’ll probably die if you use the cameras, though there is a chance he won’t attack immediatly. He also takes a while to leave, which can result in the music box winding down a LOT. This is his only method of attacking you so dont forget to check the right vent for him.
Toy Chica: Show Stage>Main Hall>Party Room 1>Left Air Vent
Note: T. Chica will rarely go to party room 4 instead of the vent.
Toy Chica acts very similar to Toy Bonnie, if you see it in your left vent light, equip the mask immediatly, again do NOT use the camera if she’s in the vent. Also, I’ve seen people put on the mask when she’s in front of your office, but you don’t need to, she’ll only attack when she’s in the vent.
Toy Freddy: Show Stage>Game Room
He works very differently than the other two, he’ll just stand in front of your office and look creepy. Eventually he’ll perch himself on the wall, you can put on the mask here if you want, but it’s not reccomended. Just use the camera and whenever you pull down the camera, quickly put on the freddy mask, as Toy Freddy may be in your office, if you don’t put on the mask fast enough you’ll die. Sometimes he may pull down your camera, just put on then mask and you should be fine.
Note: When he’s in the hall you CAN use the Freddy mask, but I woudn’t recommend it.
Mangle: Kid’s Cove>Prize Corner>Game Area>Main Hall>Party Room 1>Party Room 2>Right Air Vent
As with Toy Chica, you’ll see it in the hall in front of your office, and like T. Chica, it won’t attack you from that way. Whenever it’s in a room and you check it with the camera it will play a very strange radio sound, this also happens when it’s visible in the lights, so if you hear it and you’re not looking at it, put on the freddy head. If not, then it’s game over. If you’re winding the music box and you here it, you have a few seconds to keep winding it.
Old Animatronic Movement Patterns and Behaviour
Chica: Parts & Service>Party Room 4>Party Room 2>Right Air Vent
She will not appear in the front of your office so she can’t hurt you from there, but Chica will teleport into your office. Like the rest of the aimatronics that teleport into your room, just put the freddy mask on and your okay. Chica can appear in your right air vent, when ever you see her, put your mask on. Note that you can’t see Chica in the lights of the air vents on the camera.
Bonnie: Parts & Service>Main Hall> Party Room 1>Left Air Vent
Bonnie will funtion much like Chica, Freddy, and T. Freddy, teleporting into your room. Bonnie will appear in the front of your office, sometimes accompanied by Foxy, but remember, if Foxy if there too you’ll still need to flash the light at him. If Bonnie is alone, then you don’t have to do anything about it. Bonnie will appear in your left air vent and works exactly like Chica, having to put your mask on.
Freddy: Parts & Service>Main Hall> Party Room 3
Like Bonnie, he can also appear in the front of your office, staring at you creepily. You don’t have to put your mask on here, it won’t help. If you put your camera up, then most of the time he will come in and you’ll need to put on your mask. Unlike Chica or Bonnie, Freddy will not appear in either vents.
All the animatronics have the same attack which involves you having to put your mask on so it is a good practice to put on your mask right when you lower cameras.
Misc. Animatronic Movement Patterns and Behaviour
In the prize corner is a music box. Keep winding it, if you don’t the Puppet kills you. As you progress through the nights, the box timer depletes quicker. Remember that using you flashlight or keeping you mask on will cause the music box to unwind quicker too. An alert in the bottom right corner of the screen will show you when the music box needs winding (yellow) or urgently needs winding (red). You can see halluciantions of the Puppet in the main hall cam.
Foxy: Parts & Service
The mask doesn’t work on Foxy due to his lack of facial recognition, so you have to keep flashing him with your flashlight, if you don’t he’ll kill you. This is nothing to slack upon, in later nights most people see Foxy’s jumpscare alot. Sometimes you can catch Foxy in the Parts & Service room about to leave.
Baloon Boy (BB): Game Area>Left Air Vent
Like the toy animitronics, BB can appear in the vents, left to be exact, when you see him in the vent..DO NOT PUT UP THE CAMERAS!!! If you do so he’ll get into your office. He also can’t kill you, instead he jams your lights and flashlight. Because he jammed your flashlight, Foxy is free to come running in if he pleases.
Golden Freddy
He’s extremely rare on the first five nights, but it is possible for him to appear, though he’s most common on nights six and seven. If you see his face in the hall, do NOT keep flashing him or shining your light at him, if you do he WILL kill you. Do NOT put your mask on or your camera up, just wait for it to leave. Also he may teleport into the office, if he does just put on your mask quickly, like done with T. Freddy and the old animatronics. The screen wont fade into darkness, but remain light so watch Golden Freddy fade away, then, take off the mask.
Note: Something I noticed while playing, is it doesn’t need to fade away completely for you to be safe.
Shadow Bonnie/Freddy
It is not an animatronic, but he can potentially kill you, so it will be mentioned. When Shadow Bonnie appears in your room and we all sit there looking at it, (shocked, taking a screenshot, or just plain in awe) he WILL crash your game. So when Shadow Bonnie enters your room, put on your mask or pull up your cameras to prevent him from crashing your game on 5 a.m on Night 5 or any other night your almost done with. (Or just anytime in general!)
As for S. Freddy, he will only appear in parts and service after all the old animatronics leave, as with S. Bonnie, he’ll crash your game if you stare at it too long.
