Baldi's Basics: Tips & Tricks

Baldi's Basics: Ultimate Guide with Tips & Tricks

Welcome to the ultimate guide for Baldi’s Basics! Whether you’re a new player or just looking for a few extra tips, this guide will help you tackle the quirky and tricky challenges of the game!

The Basics: What You Need to Know

Baldi's Basics is a weirdly fun, retro-styled horror game where your goal is to collect all 7 notebooks scattered around the school and escape without getting caught by Baldi and his creepy friends. Here’s the lowdown:

You are in a school: Each floor has a series of rooms with items, notebooks, and a lot of obstacles.
Baldi chases you: The game’s main antagonist, Baldi, is relentless. The more notebooks you collect, the faster and more aggressive he gets.
You must answer questions: Each notebook has 3 math problems. Be careful though – if you get one wrong, things get a little… interesting.

Tips for Surviving the School

Answer the Questions Carefully
Every time you open a notebook, you’ll have to answer math questions. You don’t have to get them all correct, but getting them wrong will trigger a loud sound, which draws Baldi closer and increases his speed. It's usually safer to answer them correctly unless you're in a desperate situation.

Keep Moving
Don’t just stand still. Baldi moves faster when you’re stationary. Always be on the move, even if you're only pacing around a room. This gives you a better chance of avoiding him.

Use the Principal’s Rules to Your Advantage
The Principal will send you to detention if you’re caught running, using items inappropriately, or breaking other rules. Stay calm and plan your movements carefully to avoid detention.

Collect Items Early
Items like the Slap and Bouncy Ball can be game-changers. The Slap will slow Baldi down, while the Bouncy Ball can disrupt other characters like the Sweeping Time (who sweeps the halls). Grab them as you go!

Understanding the Enemies

Baldi
Baldi is the main threat. He gets faster every time you collect a notebook, and if you answer a question wrong, he gets really angry and chases you harder. Keep track of his position using your sound cues. The closer you hear his ruler sound, the closer he is.

The Principal
The Principal loves to enforce school rules. Running around too much or using items incorrectly will get you caught in detention, wasting precious time. If you see him coming, stop moving and stand still to avoid getting caught.

Playtime
Playtime will make you jump rope with her if you get too close, slowing you down and giving Baldi time to catch up. If she’s in your way, you can throw an item to distract her or use the Safety Scissors (if you’ve found them) to cut the rope.

Other Characters

The Bully: He blocks doorways and steals your items. If he’s blocking your way, make sure you have a usable item to get past him, or wait for him to move.
First Prize: This robot will push you around if you get too close, causing you to lose precious time. Avoid him unless you want to waste valuable seconds.

Strategies for Success

Map Out the School
The layout of the school is consistent. It may take a few tries, but it’s worth remembering the locations of important rooms like the notebooks and item rooms. The more you familiarize yourself with the layout, the faster you can collect notebooks and avoid Baldi.

Use the Doors Strategically
When you hear Baldi getting closer, use the doors to block his path. You can quickly close doors behind you as you escape to slow him down, giving you more time to move through the school.

Save Items for Key Moments
Don’t use items like the Zesty Bar or the Energy Flavored Zesty Bar until you really need them. These give you energy to sprint and escape fast, which is crucial when you’re being chased by Baldi. Use them wisely, especially when you're down to one notebook left.

Avoid Dead Ends
Always keep track of where you’re going and avoid running into dead ends. Backtracking through the halls can sometimes save you if you get cornered by Baldi, but don’t make it a habit. It's easy to get trapped and lose valuable time.

Advanced Tips

Sound is Your Friend
Keep your volume up, especially when Baldi is near. The sound of his ruler snapping will alert you when he’s close, and you can use it to plan your escape route or decide if it’s better to hide for a moment.

Use the Corners
Running around corners gives you the opportunity to break line-of-sight with Baldi. This can help you lose him, especially if you're able to get into a room just before he sees you.

Know the Items

Safety Scissors: Great for cutting Playtime’s jump rope, but you’ll need them to be effective.
Quarter: You can use a quarter to buy useful items from the vending machines. This is especially helpful for getting additional Zesty Bars or other consumables.
Baldi's Rulebook: This will give you a slight advantage in slowing Baldi down, but it’s hard to keep track of.

The Final Goal: Escape!

Once you’ve collected all 7 notebooks, you need to get to the exit. Here’s how to make that last escape:

The Exit is in the Center
The exit is often in the middle of the school. You'll need to make your way there without getting caught. Use the Energy Flavored Zesty Bar or Slap if Baldi is too close.

Keep Calm
The final stretch can be stressful, especially with Baldi chasing you down. Don’t panic, and keep your cool to reach the exit safely.
