Welcome to Five Nights at Freddy's 4, the terrifying conclusion to Scott Cawthon's original series. This isn't your typical haunted house; you're trapped in a child's bedroom, armed only with a flashlight and your wits. The goal? Survive the night by outsmarting Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy as they stalk the halls and closet, their jumpscares more brutal than ever. It's a pure survival horror experience, demanding intense focus and quick reflexes.

This guide is your key to conquering those nightmares. We'll break down the advanced auditory tactics and precise flashlight usage needed to survive each of the grueling nights. Learn the specific strategies for dealing with each animatronic, from Bonnie and Chica at the doors to Foxy in the closet, and finally, the terrifying Freddles on the bed. Master these techniques to conquer all nights and finally escape the terror.

Chica the Chicken

Learn how to track Chica the Chicken in Five Nights at Freddy's 4. Understand her movement patterns, attack triggers, and how to avoid her deadly assaults.

Chica the Chicken is the backup vocalist for Freddy Fazbear's band. Her primary motivation is to murder nighttime security guards, with pizza being her secondary love.

The Basics of Chica the Chicken

Chica's behavior is simpler than Freddy's. She always starts from the Show Stage and moves to the Dining Area. From the Dining Area, her movements are influenced by her current room and a random binary variable that resets every second. This means she can move to one of two locations from any given room:

  • Dining Area: Restrooms or Kitchen
  • Kitchen: Restrooms or East Hall
  • Restrooms: Kitchen or East Hall
  • East Hall: Dining Area or East Hall Corner
  • East Hall Corner: East Hall or Right Door

Once Chica reaches the Right Door, her next action depends on whether the right door is open or closed. If open, she enters the office. If closed, she retreats to the Dining Area.

An exploit in Chica's movement is that she can only enter an attacking position from the East Hall Corner. This room is also used by Freddy, so if Chica appears there, it can serve as advance warning for a possible Chica attack, as her presence overrides Freddy's on the camera feed. Generally, you don't need to monitor Chica unless she is in the East Hall Corner; otherwise, you are safe from her.

If Chica enters the office, your right door and right light will cease to function, emitting only a "click" noise when activated. At this point, preventing her entry is a lost cause. However, Chica will never attack while the camera is down. By refraining from looking at the camera, you can avoid her attack indefinitely. If you do lower the camera, your demise is effectively assured as she will move in for the kill as soon as you lower it again. If you attempt to avoid lowering the camera, she will force it down herself after approximately 30 seconds. The key takeaway is to prevent her from entering the office at all costs.

Tips
  • Familiarize yourself with the gameplay basics during the orientation.
  • Learn the behaviors of each animatronic: Freddy Fazbear, Chica the Chicken, Bonnie the Bunny, Foxy the Pirate Fox, and Golden Freddy.
  • Apply general survival tips to last longer each night.
  • Follow the specific strategies for each night, from Night 1 to Night 7.

Bonnie the Bunny

Bonnie the Bunny is a dangerous foe in FNAF 4. Learn his movement patterns and how to counter him to survive the night. Get the edge you need!

Bonnie the Bunny is the guitarist for Freddy Fazbear's band, and honestly, he's pretty terrifying. He's known for giving his own creator nightmares, so you know you're in for a challenge!

The Basics of Bonnie the Bunny

Bonnie acts a lot like Chica, but he's definitely more dangerous. The biggest difference is where he decides to go. Unlike Chica, Bonnie doesn't always head to the Dining Area from the Show Stage. He's got a couple of options:

Current RoomDestination ADestination B
Show StageBackstageDining Area
Dining AreaBackstageWest Hall
BackstageDining AreaWest Hall
West HallSupply ClosetWest Hall Corner
West Hall CornerSupply ClosetLeft Door
Supply ClosetLeft DoorWest Hall

See how Bonnie can move into attacking positions from two different rooms (West Hall Corner and Supply Closet)? That makes him trickier than Chica. Once he's in the West Hall, he'll just keep moving between the West Hall, West Hall Corner, and Supply Closet until he reaches the door. He doesn't wander back like Chica can, which means he's always a threat.

The rest of Bonnie's behavior is pretty much the same as Chica's. If you block his attack with the left door, he'll go back to the Dining Hall. If you're watching him on the cameras and he moves, he'll disable them. And if he gets into your room, he'll shut down the left door and light, only attacking when you raise the camera.
