Master the Bendy and the Ink Machine boss fights with our comprehensive guide. Learn strategies, weaknesses, and tips to overcome every challenging encounter.

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Bendy himself cannot be harmed by the player's pipe. Hitting him causes him to spin his head but he recovers quickly.
  • The Ink Demon does not appear randomly while Bendy is accompanying Audrey.
  • Lost Ones can be found in various locations and will attack the player.

Phases:

  1. City Entrance: Locate the Gent Building. Break the padlock on the barred door and move down the ramp.
  2. City: Find the car in the center of the street. Locate the "Trouble Town - Kitty Thompson" Audio Log (19/28) inside the car. Find and smash ten clay jars to trigger a moon easter egg. Follow Bendy to find the "Daily Headache – Eugene Lloyd" Memo (28/34) in a trash can.
  3. Grand Chops/City Back Alley: Enter the Meat Shop and proceed to the alley. Find the "New Job – Steve McGregor" Audio Log (20/28) in a dark corner with a bench. Knock five times on the boarded-up door across from the Downside Hotel to get the "It Stinks" Achievement/Trophy.
  4. Downside Hotel: Use Flow to ascend to the second and third floors. Find the "Illusion of Living" Book (14/24) in a Gent Locker on the third floor. Take the ID card from a small table on the second floor.
  5. Old Studio: Move into the area to the right and find the "Box of Crayons" Memory (6/10) on a crate. Flow up to the floor above and find the "Chapter One – Wally Franks" Audio Log (21/28) in a desk drawer. Find another "Illusion of Living" Book (15/24) on a shelf below a drawing board.
  6. Return to Hotel/City: After obtaining the ID card, return to the hotel. Defeat three Lost Ones near the entrance. Return to the alley and defeat more Lost Ones. Exit to the City and defeat four Lost Ones. Enter the "Good Tower Cafe" and take the Upgrade (7/9).

Strategy:

  • Use the Gent Pipe to defeat enemies like Lost Ones.
  • Utilize hiding spots behind walls to evade enemies.
  • When facing multiple Lost Ones in the hotel entrance, step back inside to funnel them through the doorway for easier combat.
  • Collectibles such as Audio Logs, Memos, Books, Memories, and Upgrades are scattered throughout the areas.
  • The "Illusion of Living" Book can be found twice.
  • The "Box of Crayons" Memory is found in the Old Studio.
  • The "Chapter One – Wally Franks" Audio Log is found in the Old Studio.
  • The "Trouble Town - Kitty Thompson" Audio Log is found in the City area.
  • The "New Job – Steve McGregor" Audio Log is found in the City Back Alley.
  • The "Daily Headache – Eugene Lloyd" Memo is found in the City area.
  • An Upgrade (7/9) is found in the "Good Tower Cafe".
  • The "It Stinks" Achievement/Trophy is obtained by knocking on a specific door five times.
  • Be aware of respawning Lost Ones when moving between areas.
  • The Ink Demon does not appear randomly in the areas after the hotel.
