Overview
A guide for various tips about the animatronics and how to avoid them! As with my FNaF 1 and 2 guides, these are not complete, so I would like SOME tips/help in the comments.Also, feel free to check out my FNaF 1 and 2 guides. 😉
How to avoid Springtrap.
The main antagonist of the game (and the only one who can kill you) can be a bit tricky for figuring out how to avoid him, as phone guy in this game isn’t very helpful…at all, so I’ll tell you the main ways to avoid him.
Movement: Springtrap starts at either cam 09 or 10 and moves down from that, he also can go through vents, as long as they’re connected to a room he’s in. Almost all the vents lead directly to your office, so I recommend you listen for the vent bumping. I also recommend watching out for the vent that connects to cam 10, as that one can be an insta-kill.
Springtrap’s behaviour: As explained above, he goes hrough the cams, eventually getting to your office. If he’s by the window, you can play your audio at cam 02 to make him go there, but he’ll quickly come back and if you’re not quick enough, he’ll go to your left side and peak at you through the doorway. If he’s there, you can either attempt to get him into cam 01, or just stare at him until he A) Kills you after staring at you too long. B) There’s a vent error and he kills you. Or C) The clock hits 6 AM. If you use the cameras for too long while he’s peeking at you, he’ll run to the other side of the room and then pull down your cameras.
Using audio: Unlike the first two games, there’s not any lights, or anything to get rid of him when he’s near you. Instead you have to click that audio button above the map toggle, if you play it in a room next to the one he’s in, it’ll make him move to that room. The thing is though, is that it has to recharge after every use and also, after a few uses you have to reboot it. I also recommend checking the other cameras to find out where to move him back from.
Vent sealing: You know how I mentioned him going through your vents and how it leads directly to your office? Well, if he gets into your vents, the only way to block him is by sealing the vents by double clicking the vent cam. It’ll lock him out, but sometimes the sealing takes too long and he leaves before it’s done.
Animatronic hallucinations
Starting from night 2, you can encounter “phantom” versions of old animatronics. If you see one and they jumpscare you, they’ll cut off the ventilation, with a couple exceptions. They appear more often in the later nights.
Phantom BB: He can randomly appear in front of a camera, and if he does, just quickly change camera or pull down the cameras. If you’re not quick enough, BB will pull down your cameras and jumpscare while cutting off ventilation.
Phantom Freddy: You can sometimes see him walking in front of your window and after a while he’ll jumpscare you and cut off ventilation. If you’re using the cameras, or the maintenance panel, he won’t attack.
Phantom Chica: Sometimes the screen on the arcade machine in cam 07 will change to Chica’s face. If this happens, that means Chica is in the office, but if you quickly change camers, it won’t spawn. And if you go to the left after she’s spawned in, she’ll jumpscare you, again, cutting off the ventilation. Once you see her face on the screen, there’s no way to get rid of her.
Phantom Foxy: Sometimes, when you move to the left in the office, you might see Foxy standing still and then jumpscaring you, cutting off the ventilation. I’ve heard he appears if you use the cameras too much, but I’m not sure. Also, if you’re quick enough, you can use the cameras before he jumpscares you to make him leave.
Phantom Puppet: Sometimes in cam 08 you can see the puppet standing in the back. This basically means you’re screwed, because he’ll pull down your camera and just stay in front of your face, not letting you do anything. Because it takes so long to leave, Springtrap usually either kills you or gets near you. Sometimes he can even kill you, while the puppet’s in there, but only if the vents are cut off.
Phantom Mangle: Sometimes (I’ve said that a lot) Mangle will appear in cam 04, it’ll quickly pull down your cameras and raise it’s head above the window. (Spooky…) It’ll also disable your audio device, which is very annoying. Oddly, like the puppet, it doesn’t have a jumpscare. It also makes an incredibly annoying noise, so keep that in mind, as it may startle you.
NOTE: If you switch cameras fast enough, the hallucinations won’t attack.
