Master Night 7 (4/20 mode) in Five Nights at Freddy's! Learn the essential camera checks, door timings, and animatronic patterns to survive this ultimate challenge.
Alright, so you've made it to Night 7, huh? This is where things get *really* spicy. The game calls this the "Custom Night," and you can technically make it a breeze by cranking all the animatronics down to their lowest settings. But where's the fun in that? We're going for the legendary 4/20 mode here – that's every animatronic at level 20. It's a nightmare, but beating it is how you snag that elusive third star and join the FNAF elite.
First off, a quick heads-up: that old "Freddy stun-lock" trick? Yeah, that's dead. Freddy moves way too fast now, especially at AI level 20. He'll move almost instantly between your camera checks, so you can't rely on that anymore. Honestly, keeping an eye on camera 4B is way more useful anyway, as it helps you track Chica and prep for her moves. Remember, she only comes from the East Hall Corner.
- 1Starting Out (First 15 Seconds): As soon as the night begins, your absolute first move is to switch your camera feed to 4B. This is your Freddy prep. Start a rapid-fire camera check pattern: flick the camera up, catch a glimpse of the feed, flick it back down. You need to see *something* on the feed each time, or Foxy gets impatient. Use these initial 15 seconds to focus entirely on this camera feed.
- 2The Basic Rhythm: Once those first 15 seconds are up, you'll fall into the main rhythm of the night. It's simple: check the camera 5 times, with just under a second between each check. Then, check only the left door's light. Repeat this cycle.
Handling Animatronic Interruptions:
- Bonnie at the Left Door: If Bonnie shows up at your left door, immediately close the door. Then, flick the camera another 5 times. After that, open the door. Bonnie is guaranteed to leave after about 5 seconds at this difficulty, so you're safe to open it. Once he's gone, jump right back into your basic rhythm.
- Chica on Camera 4B: If Chica appears on camera 4B while you're checking it, do this: after your camera checks, switch to checking both the left and right door lights instead of just the left. If Chica then appears at the right door, close it. This is a good moment to quickly check on Foxy at 1C if you want, but make sure you switch back to 4B before you open the right door again. Like Bonnie, she should be gone after the next round of camera checks.
- Foxy Leaves Pirate Cove: If Foxy disappears from Pirate Cove (camera 1C), and you've already closed the right door (which you should have if you're checking for this), here's what to do: exit the cameras, close the left door, and then immediately switch your camera to 2A. This triggers Foxy's attack sequence. As soon as that's set off, switch your camera back to 4B. Before you open the right door, quickly check the left light – Bonnie might have snuck in while you were dealing with Foxy. Then, you can reopen the right door.
- This strategy isn't 100% foolproof because the animatronics, especially Foxy, can get pretty aggressive and unpredictable.
- However, this is the most solid approach and gives you the best shot at winning 4/20 mode.
- If you play it perfectly, you might even end the night with a little bit of power left!
You've earned that pink slip and your third star, champ. Go enjoy the bragging rights!
