How to Beat Night 4 of Five Nights at Freddy's edit
Here's a comprehensive guide on how to beat Night 4 of Five Nights at Freddy's:
General Strategy edit
Night 4 is significantly more challenging than previous nights, as all four animatronics (Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy) are now highly active[1]. The key to success is maintaining a consistent routine while being quick and efficient with your actions.
Key Tactics edit
1. Check Pirate Cove Frequently: Foxy becomes much more aggressive on Night 4. Check Pirate Cove (CAM 1C) regularly to prevent him from leaving1[1].
2. Monitor Freddy's Movement: Freddy is now active and follows a specific path: Show Stage → Dining Area → Restrooms → Kitchen → East Hall → East Hall Corner → Office[12]. Check on him frequently to slow his progress.
3. Conserve Power: Aim to have at least 35-40% power left by 5 AM[1]. Be strategic with your camera and door usage.
4. Use Audio Cues: Listen for footsteps and other sounds to help identify animatronic locations without using the camera[1].
5. Quick Camera Checks: Develop a rhythm of brief, efficient camera checks to conserve power while staying informed[12].
Step-by-Step Routine edit
1. Start by checking Pirate Cove and the Show Stage. 2. Check the door lights. 3. Look for Freddy on the cameras. 4. Check the door lights again. 5. Repeat this cycle, adjusting as needed based on animatronic activity[12].
Specific Animatronic Strategies edit
- Bonnie and Chica: Use door lights to check for them and close doors when necessary[1]. - Foxy: Check Pirate Cove frequently. If he's gone, immediately close the left door[6]. - Freddy: Keep track of his location. If he's in the East Hall Corner, keep the right door closed until he moves[12].
Advanced Tips edit
- Practice "cam-spamming" - quickly flipping the camera up and down to reset animatronic positions without wasting power[1]. - If you hear Foxy running, immediately close the left door without checking the camera[6]. - When checking cameras, prioritize Pirate Cove, Show Stage, and the East Hall Corner[12].
Common Mistakes to Avoid edit
- Overusing the camera system, especially early in the night. - Neglecting to check Pirate Cove regularly. - Keeping doors closed for too long when unnecessary. - Forgetting to track Freddy's movement1[1][12].
Remember, success on Night 4 often comes down to quick reflexes, efficient power management, and maintaining a consistent strategy throughout the night. With practice and persistence, you'll be able to overcome this challenging level.
