Observation Duty 3 - The Headquarters ALL Anomalies

Can't beat the headquarters? I'm here to help! Here's a guide with ALL of the anomalies in the Headquarters map for Observation Duty 3!!

Introduction

I decided to make a full anomaly list for the headquarters. I came on here myself because I was struggling with the game, finding this map almost imppossible, turns out it's pretty easy if you know what your looking for!

There are quite a few guides to this game no COMPLETE ones for the Headquarters so i figured if I was gonna spend hours on the game to wini, I might as well help others out too. So, after waayyyy to many hours to get, figure out, and capture a photo of EVERY anomaly on the map, I finally have a full guide to The Headquarters.

So, without further ado, here is every single anomaly you can possible find in The Headquarters map in Observation Duty 3, and a couple of extra tips to make your game play easier.

Enjoy!

Outside/Spawn

There are very few anomalies in the Outside/Spawn area, so i recommend check this last when doing your sweeps of the house, as it's chances of having an anomaly are low, and almost all of the ones that can be found are rather obvious.

1.) Corpse in hospital bed.

Can be found on the right, in between the car and the two dumpsters.





2.) Rocking Chair.

Can be found in the crook between the stairs and the ramp.






3.) Blinking Light.

A Small red light that can be hard to see, but you'll find it right outside the crossing gate above the number panel.






4.) Large Baby.

He makes noise, so if you listen you can find him easily, but he can be found peering in through the fence on he left side, right in next to the third dumpster






5.) Vibrating Intruder.

I'm putting this in Outside as they only appear through windows. There are two rooms they can appear in. The Lobby, and Timothy's Office. Both peering through the windows from outside. They make a loud buzzing noise and a period clicking as they tap on the glass. Try and report them quickly, as you would all intruders.






6.) Wheelchair Man.

He spawns in front of the Lobby door, and only when your inside the building. When he arrives, a doorbell sound will play through out the entire building and you'll have to go open the front door for him. He keeps you from getting outside which is kinda a problem so try to get rid of him quickly.

Entryway/Waiting Room

Another spot with few anomolies, that are quite easy to find. A couple can slip by you but most are accompanied by a sound of some sort, or a very obvious visual effect

1.) Waterfall Painting.

Can be found over the two white chairs on the left when you enter the lobby. The original image of a waterfall painting will have turned into a red and black abstract art.

Anomaly:


Normal:





2.) Missing objects on the table.


The table between the chairs int he middle of the Lobby will have all its contents missing.

Anomaly:

Normal:




3.) Fallen Painting.

The sunset painting on the farthest wall will have fallen over and knocked down the table in front of it. This causes a loud Crashing noise if your sound is on.

Anomaly:


Normal:





4.) Switched chairs.

One of the Blue and white chairs will have switched places on the right side of the lobby when entering, it's pretty easy to catch because it visibly disrupts the pattern of the chairs. You can also usually hear a small sound in the distance when an object shifts places.

Anomaly:


Normal:





5.) Corrupted TV.

The TV farthest from the entrance will turn red in hue, and the text will change to say things like "Timothy is alive", "We will find you", etc.

Anomaly:


Normal:




6.) SPIDER!

Yeah there's a GIANT spider on the ceiling, kill it with fire.

Hallway

Three things can be found in the Hallway; intruders, Painting Anomalies, and Ghosts. You'll end up walking through it a lot and the results are prety hard to miss... or die to. However the Ghosts can be tricky.



1.) Woman's Face painting.

This is the second image down the hall, on the rigtht when you first enter. Her eyes will turn to large yellow cat eyes during an anomaly, and it's prett spooky to turn around to.

Anomaly:


Normal:




2.) Angry Cat.

This Painting is supposed to be of a mouth, but sometimes it turns into an angry cat. Its the last painting on the hall to the left, be sure to report it, will ya?

Anomaly:


Normal:





3.) Wandering Man.

Fun fact: I died to get this picture. Don't look at him, and stay away from him while the report is loading!!! He spawns in the kitchen and walks to Timothy's office, so you can often find him behind the Reception Desk or in the Hallway. Very scary man.





4.) Man on the Large Cabinet.

There is a lard wooden Filing Cabinet on the left in an open space by the Reception Desk. A man will spawn crouching on top of the cabinet making an assortment of strange sounds. Do get rid of him.

Bathroom

Very few Anomalies in here, so as long as you know what to look for a quick glance should be enough to tell whats off. However, be sure to open the toilet when you first start the game, or you could potentially lose the game simply because of hidden anomolies.

1: Missing Tissue Box. The the table by the sink, the front box of tissues will go missing.

Anomaly:


Normal:





2.) Floating Pills.

The knocked over cabinets contents are supposed to be on the floor. If they're on the ceiling, I suggest reporting it. Or if you notice their missing. It's the same event.

Anomaly:


Normal:




3.) Head in Toilet.

There's a head. In the toilet. Report it. Lol.






4.) Dead Plant.

This one can be easy to miss if you don't know it's there. It gives a very quite noise- the same one you get for all objects that appear, a small scuffing noise. It is behind the upright cabinet next to the door simply sitting on the floor.

Patient Room

Very few anomalies in here, usually a quick sweep is enough to cover everything. Just keep an eye out for the right wall.

1.) Intruder.

The most obvious of them all, the man with only socks and shoes sitting on the Patient Table. He also breathes VERY heavily, so hes not too hard to miss.




2.) Live Bust In Sink.

He's just chilling, but hes not supposed to be so best get him outta there.





3.) Missing Computer.

The computer on the desk in the corner of the room sometimes likes to run off. be sure to bring it back.

Anomaly:


Normal:




4.) Blurry Eye Chart. When you first enter the room, to the right there is a chart with letters all over it. When it anomalies-es it becomes all smudged and blurry.

Anomaly:


Normal:

Adam's Office/Office One (1)

Second Room on the right of the hall,very small. The nameplates don't change, so don't bother checking them for anomalies. Despite being small, a large amount of anomalies take palce in this room, so be sure to check it THOROUGHLY!!!



1.) Torso woman.

A woman will be seated in the large leather chair, she had no legs or arms. Please see her out of the building.





2.) Moon Painting.

Located over the desk. The moon in the painting will slightly enlarge.

Anomaly:


Normal:





3.) Wavy Painting.

Located across from the entrance, a horrifying baby sometimes fades in. He is very rude, report him immediately.

Anomaly:


Normal:





4.) Monument Painting.

On the left wall, and will get turned upside down.

Anomaly:


Normal:




5.) Extra Flowers.

To the right of the room on top of the double set of filing cabinets. If there are two flowers, the left one is fake.

Anomaly:


Normal:




6.) Orange Chair.

The chair right next to the door in the right, it is supposed to be white. Pretty rare anomaly from what I've experienced, but its low enough to be hard to see.

Anomaly:


Normal:




7.) Ghost Cat.

Located behind the door when its open, which can make it hard to find. Just a cat PNG on the wall. It plays a VERY LOUD sound of a distorted cat meowing, so knowing when its there is pretty easy, as it kinda just keeps going until you report it.

Security Office

First door on the left of the hallway, a room full of computers. Only a couple of anomalies in this room but a few are VERY hard to spot. So take your time and make sure you look over the WHOLE room during your sweeps!



1.) Missing plant.

There is a plant right in front of the door tucked in the corner when you enter the room. Sometimes the 'plant' part of the plant disappears. Report it to bring it back. This one is fairly obvious.

Anomaly:


Normal:




2.) Woman in Monitor #1.

The first Monitor on the far wall, the one on the left. It's is VERY hard to see and you will have to check very closely for it, but a vague overlay of a woman on the screen that will appear.

Anomaly:


Normal:




3.) Monitor #3 Image.

Monitor #3 (on the same wall has the door, on the left side) will sometimes be replaced by an video of a girl with a white background. Report it, it's not part of the image loop.

Anomaly:


Normal:




4.) Oval Ghost Head.

Preeeettttyy hard to miss. Giant oval PNG with a face on it in the upper corner of the right side of the room, above the filing cabinet. Doesn't make a sound as far as I'm aware, which is actually unusual for a ghost type anomaly.





5.) Four-eyed Painting.

Behind the door, there is a paining of a woman peeking over the frame with a pole behind her. The anomaly will give her an extra pair of eyes. This can be hard to see if you go through the room to quickly, so make sure to check behind the door as painting anomalies do not have sounds.

Anomaly:


Normal:

Timothy's Office/ Office #2

Lot's of little Anomalies in here, all VERY easy to miss, so be sure to pay attention. I reccomned oppening up some drawers in this room just to be sure not to miss anything, as many of them are filled.

1: Switched Vases.

When you enter the room, there is a display of three vases. Black, Blue, and Orange. The blue and the orange will switch.

Anomaly:


Normal:





2.) Girl on the House Painting.

I actually haven't seen a SINGLE person talk about this particular anomaly, and I have done my research. I think this one might be one of the easiest ways to LOSE the game due to just how SUBTLE it is. The painting is of a house, but the anomaly is of a very small girl standing on the porch of the house IN the paintings art style. Honestly I only noticed it because I thought it was pretty so when it changed I was like 'hey wait.' But yeah the girl isn't supposed to be there.

Anomaly:


Normal:




3.) Doubled Woman (Painting).

Next to the door on the left, there is a black and white "photo" of a man and an older woman.When Anomalies-ed, the woman's face is edited to cover the mans.

Anomaly:

Normal:




4.) Looonnnnnngg Plant.

The plant in the corner of the room on the left is supposed to be the same size as every other in the building. Anomalies-ed, it goes alllllll the way up to the ceiling. It's not supposed to.

Anomaly:


Normal:




5.) Timothy's Corpse.

You can only see this through the phone, but loud whispers and music accompany it the closer you get to the office when it appears. He is simply sitting in his chair. I have found no consequences to staring at him or letting him rest for too long.... but as with all Timothy's, you should try to report him quickly.

Reception's Desk

Only two anomalies for the desk. Both very obvious.

1.) Screaming Intruder.

A woman will appear behind the desk sitting on the left chair (When seen from behind). Looking at her will make him scream, and she appears making a humming/babbling noise. I have never let her sit so I don't know what happens, but as with all intruders, I suggest you get rid of her quickly. plus, she's very loud and annoying haha.





2.) Severed Mannequin Head.

On the right side of the reception desk a flaking flesh-coloured mannequin head will appear. I find that this is easy to walk past due to it being often in perfial when walking down the hall. Make sure to look over AT the desk every once in a while.

Kitchen/Staff Lounge

Lot's of anomalies in the Kitchen, so keep your eyes out when doing your sweep. Make sure to check ALL walls as some of the changes are SO subtle.

1.) Tea Ghost/Intruder.

Can only be seen with the phone, a woman will be sitting in the left chair at the table when entering the kitchen drinking tea. A distored sound of her slurping the tea will playing and the cup will move even if you can't see her. Nothing happens if you let her sit for a moment.





2.) Baby in the Cabinet.

On the far left corner of the room there is a white cabinet with a vase. The anomaly will replace the vase with some screwed up baby doll. He's scary, report immediately.

Anomaly:


Normal:




3.) Rearranged objects.

By the sink on the far right corner of the room there is a bunch of misc. objects on the counter. Anomalies-ed they will be rearranged. Honestly I think it looks nicer but it's an anomaly so report it.

Anomaly:


Normal:




4.) Head In the Cabinet.

On the right side of the room above the sink, on the third cabinet (On the right, it's in the corner) a head will appear attached to the back of the cabinet. He plays a loud "EHHH" noise every once in a while and when he first appears, but if your far away you can miss him. I suggest simply opening this cabinet when the game starts and checking it periodically, just to make sure.






5.) Man in the Painting.

Much like the girl in the house painting, this is a VERY minut change that could cost you the game, and is even harder to see because you have to physically turn around and check the wall to even notice it. There is NOT supposed to be a small man on the left of the black triangle in the b/w tree painting on the right wall. This is an anomaly!!! Report it!!! And be sure to check the painting often to make sure you don't miss it popping up!

Extra Tips for Winning

That's every anomaly, and I hope it helps you all finally finish the game.

There is a couple extra things you can do to also make playing the game a bit easier and faster as well, so here's just a couple end points that will make your play through less of a hassle, and ensure a win!

• Leave doors open. There's no need to close them.
  
• Only open Cabinet's you know have anomalies, it'll save you a lot of begging time to get your bearings.
  
• Play with sound ON! Almost EVERYTHING makes a noise. When an object disappears there's a small pop! that sounds, objects falling make noise, objects appearing and/or moving make a small scuffle. It'll will make game-play much easier.
  
• Check the Outside once every two sweeps of the inside, there isn't much happening out there and often times the anomaly will be in the building.
  
• GET RID OF INTRUDERS QUICKLY!!! Not just because there are chances they can game over you, depending on which one, but also because most of them tend to be VERY loud. Which can cover up quieter sounds from other anomalies happening.
  
• Anomalies only had one time each round (From what I've gathered, I have never seen one repeat twice a round for this particular game). I keep an eye out because I'm paranoid about being wrong though... but I'm fairly certain of this fact. So once one happens it probably won't again.

Alright that's all I got. If I missed any anomalies or have something wrong let me know so I can update the Guide!!! I did my best to get as much information as possible about the general anomalies for you all!

I will not be adding anything for the House or The Secret as I know that there are already guides for that and I don't have time to be redundant, but I hope this helps you all achieve the win in the Headquarters you were looking for regardless.

Thanks! And I hope I helped!

Got another one not mentioned in the kitchen/lounge. Above the cabinet that has a vase that can become a doll, there is another cabinet with two hand soap dispensers. They can start very slowly spinning. It's difficult to see as they're both white along with the background of the cabinet. I only noticed it because of the light playing off of them as they spun.

[Trigger]

1 correction i just read this post like 20 minutes ago. It helped alot thanks. But yes anomalies can repeat the pots in timmys room switched many times for me

[RiftWalker]

The 2 lotion bottles(?) in a case in the kitchen can be spinning inside the case, don't see that one listed here.

[Steefgozercool]

Edit: it just turned upside down, it didnt spawn in**

[Steefgozercool]

In the security office can be an upside down handsoap dispenser, i saw it spawn in so i caught it

its next to the door

[Gremlynn]

thank you so much for spending so much time and putting this together!
very much appreciated!

[MarZZO]

The soap dispenser in the security office can also flip upside down

[Spike]

Hey, it looks like either you missed one or it might have been added in after you made this guide but there's the ghost of a woman that can appear in the hallway and is only visible through the phone. She makes an odd periodic sound as she rapidly darts from one end of the hallway to the other.
