Overview
The Blacklist Certificate is perhaps the most difficult achievement to get in FNaF 6. I spent way too much time getting this, and all the guides and videos I found never seemed to agree on what you actually need to do to earn this secret cutscene. Once I finally did make it to the end of the week, I decided to make a complete and in-depth guide for anyone else who attempts this after me. I hope this helps.
Basics
The Blacklisted ending is perhaps the hardest ending to get in FNaF 6 as you need to master both the daytime pizzeria tycoon gameplay and the nighttime survival elements of the game. To get this ending, you must end the week with a Risk level of 50 or higher. Of course, every item with a liability risk on it also has a significant chance of containing one of the four unsalvaged animatronics inside of it, but don’t worry. You can still finish the week with all four animatronics in the vents, and this ending is still possible. To get a risk of 50, you must buy marked down catalog items, as they will have extra liability on them. Also, you must be able to consistently score 20 on the Carnival Hoops minigame, as this can net you up to $5000 per day. This will ensure you have enough money left over to buy all the office upgrades as well as dealing with any lawsuits you may end up with.
Monday
We start the game with $100, and it’s important to make the most of this starting money.
Starting the game with the Dumpster Diver Weekly catalog, go ahead and buy:
Single Stage ($25)
Bucket Bob ($10)
Mr Can-Do ($10)
Mr Hugs ($10)
No. 1 Crate ($10)
Pan Stan ($10)
Go into Blueprint Mode and then place and remove all five of the Trash animatronics onto the stage, finishing off with Mr Hugs (Leave him on to gain an extra 1 risk)
This will boost your rating to 1500 and get you a Performance Bonus of $100. Now buy the Discount Ball Pit for $30, place it and then playtest it once, scoring at least 600, then you will get another performance bonus. At this point, Stan’s Budget Tech should now be unlocked, and you can go and buy the Midnight Motorist Arcade for $170. Playtest it a few times, which should earn you about $500,
then go back into the catalog and buy:
Neon Stage Lights ($90)
Gumball Swivelhands ($125)
Novelty Traffic Light ($80)
Deluxe Speaker Set ($250)
Paper Pals ($5)
Balloon Barrel ($15)
Duck Pond ($45)
This should unlock the Smiles and Servos catalog (If it doesn’t, just buy Fruity Maze)
Make sure to place these items first, as you might get another performance bonus.
Then buy the Carnival Hoops and spend your remaining play tokens on it, which should earn you between $1000 and $2000. Upgrade the floorspace once, and then end the day.
There shouldn’t be any animatronics in the vents day one, but just in case, mute Tutorial Unit and finish your tasks as quickly as possible.
You’re free to try salvaging the animatronics if you want some extra cash, but I recommend throwing out at least one. Otherwise you might get the Completion ending.
They will all probably make it in by the end of the week anyway.
Tuesday
Starting off the next day, you will probably have no lawsuits yet, and you should have a Risk of 5-7.
Start by spending all 10 of your play tokens on Carnival Hoops, this will get you between $4000 and $6000. Next, check the 3 catalogs and buy all the items that are marked down but DO NOT PLACE THEM. There’s no need to increase your risk so early on. Upgrade your floor space again for $1000, then buy the Deluxe Concert Stage and Star Curtain Stage, then place down all of your Trash and the Gang animatronics, this will get you a bonus of $1000. Make sure you have bought all of the available marked down items, then save the rest of your cash and end the day again. At this point, there’s a good chance you will have at least one animatronic in the vents, so be on your toes.
Again, do what you want in the Salvage phase. I really hate doing these, but like I said, it doesn’t really matter anyway, you’re going to end up with all of them by Saturday night.
Wednesday-Friday
Deal with any lawsuits you get, and then play the Carnival Hoops game 10 times, check the catalog and buy all of the marked down items. At this point, you should have the Rare Funds Auction unlocked, and make sure to buy any marked down items from this catalog (as long as they have an added liability risk on them, and don’t boost your Health & Safety score)
Other than that, just stock up on cash and survive the night.
Saturday
By now, you should have a good amount of money lying around, and this is where you have to get your risk up. Quickly buy the remaining Mediocre Melodies (Don’t forget Orville Elephant) and place them all down at the same time. You will get a bonus of $10000. Then buy the remaining Rockstar Animatronics (Including Lefty) and place them. This should get you a bonus of $20000. Buy the remaining marked down items, and then make sure to buy these items if you haven’t already:
Ballpit Tower ($750)
Ladder Tower ($900)
Riding Rockets ($450)
Deluxe Ball Pit ($4400)
Gravity Vortex ($9000)
At this point, make sure you have maximized your Risk, placing all the marked down items and animatronics you’ve been stocking up on for the last three days. Make sure that the five animatronics you have onstage have the highest possible risk out of everything you have.
At this point, your risk should be above 50
(Lefty and all the other items that already have a liability risk regardless should give you about 30, plus the added marked down items should boost your total)
Then you must survive the night (Here comes the hardest part)
You should now have all the office upgrades, just use whatever strategy you used for the Completion ending here, and if you finish the night with a Risk of over 50, after the Closing Time jingle it will
automatically launch the Blacklisted cutscene.
Congratulations!
One Last Thing
If you’re going for a 100% completion of this game, make sure you already have the Bankruptcy certificate before this, if you get it after it will crash your game, and people say there is a chance it will reset your achievements.
