Some helpful tips for speedrunning
Updated by Krysut
- Running into doors will automatically open them. It saves a lot of time in most cases.
- By pressing the interact key on both the keyboard and the controller you can skip dialogues much faster, and get twice as many reps in the Helpules arcade minigame (APPARENTLY NOT ALLOWED!!!)
- Whenever you distract the Yellow Rabbit, he is going to momentarily freeze in place before going to that location. This can sometimes mess up his walk cycle, and be beneficial in certain situations
- The first chase on night 1 (where Yellow Rabbit jumpscares you from the phone) can be skipped if you call mom from a hiding spot
- You don't need to hide after placing down the pizza for Chica on night 2. She isn't a threat when she goes to get the pizza, and won't alert the Yellow Rabbit to your position
- You can skip the house segment of night 4 entirely if you go trade with firecracker kid before going to school on day 4
- By holding the sprint key and pressing A D rapidly or flicking the controller stick left and right, you can get Oswald to trip over quickly, which will generate a lot of noise, effectively eliminating any need for noisemakers
- The phone can also be a great alternative to noisemakers. Just pull up your phone and press the call button twice, which will immediately max out the noise bar. Great thing about this method is that it can be done from inside a hiding spot, most notably a vent
- There are two tradeable items that you can get without needing to play arcade games. 1st is the freddy mask, which has a random chance to drop whenever you pull down the attic ladder in the house. And 2nd is toy freddy plush, which can randomly drop when clicking on the pile of gifts in the storage room inside of the pizzeria
- Whenever the Yellow Rabbit notices you, he can't actually kill you during his aggro animation (which lasts about a second) Therefore giving you time to run past him, and sometimes even bump into him without dying
- When getting the 3 star ending, you don't actually have to beat most of the arcade games, just play the arcade game and immediately exit it. The only ones that you need to fully complete are the 3 secret minigames
- You can also enable auto hiding minigames in the accessibility settings, but this feels pretty cheap tbh
- And here's my WR True Nightmare Mode speedrun that utilizes most of these tips :)
