The leader of the bunch is a much more immediate threat in Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 than he previously was. You need a good pair of headphones to take advantage of this advice, however (and they’re kinda necessary for this game in general). This is especially important if you hear him running and then stop, in which case he’s right outside one of the doors. This usually pushes him out of that hallway and into the other one. If you hear him heading to the left, check the left. If you hear him heading to the right, check the right hallway. One handy tip for evading Foxy is to pay close attention to the direction of his pitter-patter in the hallways. (And, you know, to prevent imminent death.) Foxy forces you to juggle four tasks rather than three, so keeping him out is of paramount importance. Foxy will mess with your flashlight once he’s in the closet, so keep checking on him to stop this flickering. Close the door in his face (quite literally), and keep doing it until he is replaced by a Foxy doll. If he does get in he will hide in your closet, and you’ll have to check on him to prevent a jumpscare death. From Night 2 onwards (though much more prominently on Night 3 and above) he will run around in the hallways, waiting for you to leave one of the two doors unguarded. Foxy starts outside your room, but he makes it his mission to get inside. He's possibly the nastiest piece of work conjured up by "Five Nights at Freddy's 4".įoxy is one of the more problematic animatronics, as always. Bonnie’s rules apply when dealing with Chica. The bad bird of the gang is basically the opposite of Bonnie, coming at you from the right door instead of the left. Assuming Foxy isn’t in the room, your beam will begin to flicker if he’s standing at the door. If Bonnie’s sound cue is tripping you up, watch your flashlight. Don’t turn the light on as soon as you open your door! The sound cue won’t go off for a few seconds, and the chances are way too good that you’ll kill yourself for getting too trigger-happy. Don’t flash the hallway if you hear this breath or he will instantly kill you.
If he does get up close, stand at the door, listen for his tell-tale breathing (it sounds like a sigh, or something brushing against a microphone), and close the door for several seconds to keep him out. Bonnie is one of the easier animatronics to avoid-all you need to do is flash the hallway periodically. True to tradition, Bonnie the Big Purple Rabbit will come at you from the left door, and if you shine your flashlight down that hallway you’ll often see him skulking at the far end. Here are some tips in dealing with this vicious crew. Knowing how they act, and react, is key to your survival. There are five actively dangerous animatronics in Five Nights at Freddy’s 4.
If they are too close, you close whatever door they’re near in their face until they lumber away. The game boils down to this: you survive by using the flashlight to illuminate the animatronics and scare them away before they get too close. It can, in fact, hurt you if you use it incorrectly. The flashlight is not an automatic saviour anymore. And when I say good headphones, I mean a complete pair. If you don’t have a good pair of headphones you will not survive.
They were of varying importance in previous games-middling in the first game, high in the second, somewhat low in the third-but now they’re essential. This is bad, as it means you aren’t looking at the other door. You must be beside a door and hold it down via a keyboard press. except that you can’t leave doors closed for as long as power permits anymore. The only device operating on power in this game is the flashlight, and it lasts the entire night. You can move to different vantage points in the room, however, and doing so is important for overall survival. You’re stuck in a single room the entire time. That said, there are plenty of changes as well.įor starters, you don’t have any cameras. You still need to survive until 6 a.m., you still need to watch out for murderous animatronics, and you’re still subjected to jumpscares when you muck up. Here's my guide if sum of you want to take a look.įive Nights at Freddy’s 4 is both like and unlike the previous games in the series.
