Open the Camera panel to track Springtrap’s location. He moves unpredictably, so switch between rooms often. The farther you keep him from your office, the longer you survive.
2. Use the Audio Lure
Play audio (the child laugh) in nearby rooms to attract Springtrap away from you. This is your main defensive tool — use it strategically to guide him into rooms where he wastes time.
3. Watch the Ventilation System
Springtrap can crawl through vents. Switch to the Vent Camera map and seal vents he might use. A sealed vent can save your life if he tries to sneak in.
4. Reboot Failing Systems
Your equipment is old and breaks constantly. There are three systems:
CAM – camera feed
AUDIO – sound lure
VENT – ventilation
If any system fails, open the “Reboot” menu and restart it. If everything crashes at once, use Reboot All — slower, but safer.
5. Avoid Phantom Animatronics
Phantom characters cannot kill you, but they will:
disrupt cameras
disable audio
shut down ventilation
waste precious time
If you spot a phantom on a camera, quickly switch to another one to prevent a jumpscare.
6. Maintain the Ventilation
If ventilation fails, your vision becomes blurry and your character starts hallucinating. This creates more danger and opens the way for phantoms to attack. Reboot ventilation fast.
7. Survive Until 6 AM
Each night becomes harder. Springtrap grows more aggressive, and systems fail more often. Stay calm, manage your tools efficiently, and keep Springtrap as far as possible.
