[Spoilers] Where can Vanny spawn?

[Majora]

One of the most disappointing things about this game is that you encounter Vanny only the once. Just once! And it's not a boss battle or anything and it takes ten seconds to escape her...

Or so I thought. Apparently Vanny might be bugged and she ought to be spawning in a lot more places. For the sake of curiosity, where in the Pizzaplex have you encountered a wild Vanny in-game?

[Moominmamma]

I found her roaming around the halls near the main entrence.

She also roams to the daycare but I believe it was a one time event and she should roam around the food court area.

I encountered her after the scripted event when Vanessa trap you in the security room near the entrance to the complex and the second time on my way to the main stage after activating the showtime protocols.

I have seen one walkthrough where she also spawned near the end of the "escaping the sewers" segment after getting Chicka's beak

[shark_rez]

ive only seen her three times, 1: when vanessa finds you, 2: when you escape and go to the entrance, and three in the atrium when you insert the showtime disk

Only "saw" her twice. Heavily disappointed because Vanny was very unnerving. First time I saw her I didn't know WTF was going on. So suddenly seeing her at the window made me wanna yell and immediately Alt F4 out.

1. Scripted event with Vanessa
2. Read her subtitles + I got her static effect in the atrium area - I didn't see her anywhere so I assume she was one floor above or below me

[Majora]

Even more disappointing: apparently a producer said the Vanny Meter was a deliberately scrapped mechanic. Which means Vanny's total lack of presence or threat was... intentional??

I saw Vanny momentarily at the end of the segment after getting Chika into the garbage disposal. I turned to see if Chika was still following me, saw some glowing eyes, shot them, realized it wasn't Chika, realized it was Vanny, then turned and booked it. She never caught up to me.

It’s clear this game went through massive cuts and was then rushed for the holidays.

Sad, but it would be interesting to see everything that was changed

[Potbreaker]

AAAAAGH IT MAKES ME SO SAD

I happened to get her right after going through the vent in the floor, she came out through the door behind Freddy.

That might explain why the supposed canon ending felt so random, at least I hope so that's why.

Here's some footage of Vanny in the sewer, after taking Chica's beak:

And footage of Vanny in the atrium after inserting the showtime disk:
https://youtu.be/StOmwnOP-Eo?t=2305

So the 'confirmed' spawns now are:
1) Her first appearance in the Lost and Found segment
2) In the Atrium when inserting the Showtime Disk.
3) In the sewers.

(I've not found good evidence for a spawn after Freddy rescues you through a vent. That does not mean one doesn't exist.)

And now I go back to speechlessly pondering why they chose to cut the main antagonist from the game.

[mdesaleah]

Why theres so much cut content?

Something probably happened after the trailers were released that caused them to massively change a ton of features and even story (night guard having a different role entirely).

Dont know what happened, but it would make a good story.

[Rotom]

I got the scripted security room one and, on both playthroughs, her effect appeared after putting in the disk, but even if I looked I could never find her. That was it.

[Majora]

Resurrecting this thread to mention there is indeed a fourth confirmed Vanny spawn. She does appear in the security room where Gregory has to vent out. However it is difficult to trigger this as she appears very late, at which point the animatronics will have already gotten inside, or the player has escaped. You're only likely to see her if the game glitches (because this is Security Breach) and she appears early.

Two examples:

https://youtu.be/hbwvT1srf2I?t=484

So our "main threat" now has four very brief appearances in the game. Most of which are very easily missed.

Vanny herself always wanted kills gregory.
Burntrap gave him glamrock freddy turned evil with eyes purple light then go trying kill gregory....don't know why. Burntrap himself.
