Struggling With Bonnie, Please help.

[Wimwyn]

I am on night 3, and I had this problem on night 1 and night 2, it only happens sometimes.

I have found a way (or just got really lucky so far) to stop Foxy going into the closet.
The things on the bed never give me trouble.
Chica is easy to deal with (so far at least)

Bonnie is giving me trouble, when I hear him breathing at the door, it is OK.
When I see him down the hall with the flashlight, it is OK.
Sometimes instead of breathing at Bonnies door, I hear footsteps, when I hear the footsteps and I close the door, I get attacked 100% of the time when I open it again. When I hear the footsteps and I flash my light, I get attacked 100% of the time.

How do you deal with Bonnie successfully when I hear his footsteps instead of his breathing?
Please help, I am loving FNAF 4 SO much, I need to get further.

maybe you should wait a little longer

With the door closed?
Before I close the door?
Before I flash my light?

Willing to try, just unsure how you mean, please could you be more specific?

Just close the door if you hear breathing. If you dont hear it, flash your light. But if you close it when no one is at the door, it will give them a chance to sneak up and jumpscare you at the next time you turn on the flashlight.
At least i heard that anywhere. Just try to listen at the door for around 3-5 seconds before you decide what to do. You should also turn your volume up, there is one breathing sound which i can never make out due to the volume being low (Or the sound just being faint).

I have no problem with the breathing, I can hear and distinguish it easily. I am using Nemesis Akura 7.1 surround headphones.

The problem is when I hear footsteps instead of breathing. No matter which choice I make I get killed, I was trying to find out what the correct course of action is/was.

It is only at Bonnie's door (the left one)

Well when you hear footsteps instead, shine your flashlight as noone should be killing you. It prob means they are at the end of the corridor peeking around the corner. If you close the door after hearing that (When they are peeking), they will teleport to the door spot i guess. So only close it when you hear breathing. Otherwise it could end your night quickly.
Im struggling with both of them too right now. But thats only due to me not hearing the faint breathing noise. Al other games are loud enough for me but the fourth one not. Not sure why.

all you have to do is listen for any breathing, if you don't hear breathing, shine your flashlight down the hall and see if Bonnie is down there.

If you hear footsteps near the door instead of breathing, that means Bonnie is around the corner of the hall. The next time you go to the door, you should be able to hear him breathe.
