Five Nights at Freddy's 4 Guide for Everything

stop reading this guide i made it when i was nine and i hate it

Please Read this

I made this guide like 4 years ago when I was nine, so I may sound dumb in some parts. Apparently this guide is actually still helpful though, so it probably isn't too bad.

Also as of 10/19/2020 I changed some of the formatting so that you can actually read everything properly.

meh (1/3/23)

looking back i was probably being way too dramatic lmao
just read the thing

Basic Gameplay

The room your in has two halls, a closet, and a bed. All of them you don't want animatronics in especially the closet. To check the bed flick the mouse down. To turn on your flashlight press Control or Ctrl. To go back to the center of the bed room at any time flick the mouse down. To close doors and the closet hold left shift. At the doors listen for breathing[images.wikia.com]. (Sounds like breating in a microphone(a sound different from background sounds)) If you don't hear breathing turn on your flashlight. If you do hear breathing close the door. If you see a animatronic at the and of the hall don't close the door. Check the bed often but not to much (More on later nights). Don't check the closet untill you see
part of the closet door move. Survive untill 6 am.

Things you will need...

Headphones (Better if they block out sound)

A quiet room(Sound cues, duh)

Nothing noisy nearby

A chair you won't fall out of

To focus
Ect...

Night 1

Night 1 only has three animatronics and they are very inactive. You might see Nightmare Bonnie or Chica 1 or 2 times. You'll see Freddy if you check the bed often. Each night is 6 minutes. Remember the breathing. After all that you're good for the night.

Night 2

This night will be much harder then night one. You'll first see Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica around 12 and 1am. Later that night foxy will be later added to the mix. You'll hear him run from left to right. If you hear Running in 1 ear (With Headphones) he's at the end of the hall and ready to run in your closet. So flash your light on him to cause him to go back. If you see the closet move he got in your closet. If he's in the closet close it untill he becomes a plushie (about 10 seconds). Check the closet later. After you get used to the nights you will not panic that much. You'll know how to play well then.

Fun With PlushTrap

When you completed Night 1 there was a game called Fun With Plushtrap where you try and get Plushtrap on the "X". To make him move turn off your flashlight. Listen for footsteps. If you hear just 1-2 (not many(quiet)) don't turn on your light if it's the first one you hear. He's just going to jump back on his chair which uses up time. Each night Plushtrap moves faster and the timer is shorter. If you don't turn on your light when he's on the X he will move forward and when you turn on your flash light he'll jumpscare you. If he is on the X and you turn on the light you win. You get to skip 2 hours on the next night ONE TIME.

Nights 3 and 4

These two nights Foxy can be heard at 12 am and up. Night 3 you want to keep a close eye on Foxy but still the 3 others. Night 4 Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica are harder than before so things can get tricky. You should start listening for footsteps on these nights if you haven't yet. Mostly Foxy's running if you can't hear Bonnie and Chica's steps.

Night 5

So if you got used to the other animatronics there's a whole now one now. Nightmare Fredbear is the only animatronic on night 5. He can go in both hallways and closet (like foxy) and also on the bed. YOU MUST LISTEN FOR FOOTSTEPS!!! If the footsteps stop wait a few seconds and check the door where he stoped at, if you hear small/quiet laughter close the door. If you don't turn on the light. If you see Fredbear you have 1.5 seconds to close the door. If he laughs and your not at a door check the bed and closet. Act if he's a huge freedle on the bed that goes away way if light comes on him or Foxy in the closet. After he goes away listen for where his footsteps end out. If he laughs and walks at the same time he's NOT on the bed or in the closet. However if he laughs once he stops walking he IS on the bed. Good luck!

Night 6

Night 6 is like a mesh of night 4 and 5. 12-3 am is the first four animatronics. 4-5 am is Fredbear only. Make sure to pay close attention to sound cues. Also keep an eye on Freddy, He's super active.

Night 7-8

The two nights are the same as night 6 exepct Nightmare replaces Nightmare Fredbear. If the player sees Nightmare in the hall they have 0.8 seconds to close the door. To start night seven click "Nightmare" in the extra menu. After you beat that type in 20202020 (no spaces) to unlock night 8. After you beat that, 20202020 chages back to Nightmare. But you unlock "challenges" so there. Night 7 and 8 are hard so don't think you can beat them on you're first few tries. Just use everything you have got for night 8.

Keeping Foxy Out

Foxy can be annoying, but there is a way to stop him.

1. Listen for running going left and right

2. If you hear fast running in one ear go to that door

3. For safety listen for breathing, if you do close the door

4. Turn on Your FlashLight

5. Repeat

Animatronics

Nightmare Freddy

Nightmare Freddy apears on the bed. He spawns in Mini Freddles on the bed. Once he has three he'll spawn in after an amout of time. If you look at the bed while he's on it he will jumpscare you. Soon he will go the center of the bedroom and jumpscare you if you're standing there or move back there.

How to Avoid: Flash your light on the Mini Freddles from time to time, also they spawn faster on later nights.

Nightmare Bonnie

Nightmare Bonnie apears in the left hallway. Over time he will come closer and go into the bed room and jumpscare you. At first he'll apear at the end of the hall. To cause him to go back flash your light on him. If you hear breathing[images.wikia.com] close the door. If you turn on the light while you hear breathing he will jumpscare you.

Nightmare Chica

Nightmare Chica apears in the right hallway. She acts the same as Nightmare Bonnie. If you don't check on her she will send in her cupcake to jumpscare you. Remember the breathing. If you hear pots and pans banging Chica is in the kitchen.

Nightmare Foxy

Nightmare Foxy apears at the end of night 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8. He'll go running left and right trying to get in your closet. You can hear him get in the closet.[vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net] While he is in the closet he can be in 5 stages.

1. Plushie: Lowest form he can be in, come back later.

2. Standing: You don't have to close the closet now, but you might want to.

3. Crouching: You should close the closet unless someone else is a bigger problem.

4. Head: Close the closet for around 10 seconds.

5 Closet Jumpscare: This jumpscare doesn't kill you, he should will be in this form when you first check him. Just close the closet.

Don't let him stay in head form for long.

Nightmare Fredbear

Nightmare Freadbear can apear anywhere. Listen for footsteps. If they stop check that door. If you hear faint laughter close the door. If you don't hear that flash your light. If you see Fredbear you have 1.5 seconds to close the door. If he laughs[vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net] and you're not at a door check the bed then the closet (beacuse it takes longer to run 2 times.) If he's on the bed keep the light on. If he's in the closet close it untill you hear footsteps. If he walks while laughing don't check the bed and closet.

Nightmare

Nightmare replaces Nightmare Fredbear on nights 7 and 8. He acts the same exepct the player must react quicker (0.8 seconds at the door) in order to survive. His jumpscare is a single frame of his face with a different jumpscare sound. The jumpscare sound is repeted. Sound Here[images.wikia.com]

Halloween Edition

When you lauch the game it should give you an option to play the Halloween Edition. The animatronics change in this. Here are the new animatronics:

Jack-O-Bonnie

Replaces Bonnie

Jack-O-Chica

Replaces Chica

Nightmare Mangle

Replaces Foxy and makes static

Nightmarionne

Replaces Nightmare

Nightmare Balloon Boy

Replaces Plushtrap and goes faster with a shorter timer.

Audio

2019 edit: I don't think any of the audio works anymore, sorry.

Tips and Other Things

1. Don't panic, that causes you to mess up

2. For Night 6 players if you can't get used to the 4 am change play nights 4 and 5 in a row (No breaks)

3. Don't check the right hall for Chica if you hear pots and pans banging.
3.1: Check it if you hear Foxy get in that hallway check it.

4. Little things in real life like a sneeze can mess you up in the game.

5. In the middle of a jumpscare it can turn to 6 a.m. (you win (It happened to me once on night 6)

)

6. You can hear freddles[vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net] if 2-3 are on the bed.
6.1: This happens on later nights.
6.2: The sound is louder on the more there are.

More Coming Soon!!!

Well...

I hoped you found this guide helpful. Please tell me what you think. Also if you have more info or found a mistake please tell me in the comments.

2020 Edit: Why are you people still reading this

Another 2020 Edit: I've decided not to rewrite the guide because apparently it's already helpful enough and I don't want to accidentally make it worse. I did finally decide to fix the formatting so that it doesn't look awful. I don't know why I didn't do that 4 years ago, but whatever.
