Ballora Gallery Flatmode PC Guide

**Disclaimer:**

Ballora in Flatmode is very different than VR, this is a guide for the flatmode version. Since I am a certified mad man I have compiled all of my obscure Ballora knowledge into this guide for you to suffer with. Ballora Gallery is very RNG based so I hope you are prepared for some fun resets. Also make sure you have "Animatronic Proximity" turned on in settings, this will be important later. I am not at all qualified to be making guides for anything, especially Ballora gallery, but I'm doing it anyways and no one can stop me. Some of the info may be wrong, but let's be honest who is going to fact check this.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

**How The Minigame Works**

You are tasked with crossing Ballora's room in 6 minutes without being killed by Ballora or her many adopted children. You must toss her kids away before they touch you and alert her to your location. When you hear her music, you stop and wait for it to go away, but we don't have time for that here.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

**How To Shimmy**

Shimmying is the act of retaining momentum while Ballora is near you and being able to move without her killing you. There are 2 different types of shimmys:

- *The Momentum Shimmy*

This is when you use WASD to spin in a circle when Ballora is close to you to keep momentum so you can travel at full speed when she leaves.

Click [HERE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRc0jC8Gnd4) for an example

- *The Walking Shimmy*

The walking shimmy is when you backtrack every second when Ballora is farther away from you so she is unable to see you. Use the clock above the door to help with timing. Every time you hear the clock tick press S, don't let go of W.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

**Ballora Spawns**

You may have noticed I mentioned that Ballora can spawn both close and far. These are what I call Ballora spawn locations, very creative I know. If you want to get a good time, hope that she spawns far away as much as possible. This is because you can preform the "Walking Shimmy" and cover more ground. If she spawns far away twice you're set, although I have seen her do it 3 times which is very rare. To know if she is close or far quickly, look where she is in the animatronic proximity (the thing i said to turn on), if it looks like she is in the middle-ish then keep going, but if it looks like she is right beside you stop.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

**Ballora Kill Box**

When Ballora spawns close to you there is an invisible trigger just past where she spawns that will kill you if you pass through it. If you wait for her to cross enough so you can get by, the do the momentum shimmy forward until you reach it.

Photo bellow is an example of about where the kill zone is:

**How to PROPERLY Deal With The Minirinas** **and How They Impact Ballora**

The concept seems pretty simple at first, just toss them away and Ballora follows, nothing special right? This part of the guide is very important, but I understand if you don't want to dig this deep into time saves. When Ballora spawns close to you there is a chance for minirinas to spawn while you are stopped. You will want to run straight through them WITHOUT coming into contact with them. If you make it through there is a chance Ballora will not be alerted and you can continue, but if she is alerted you will toss them behind you on the side Ballora came from so she returns to her spawn point faster and leaves.

If ballora spawns down the hallway and there are minirinas in front of you I recommend quickly touching them (not picking them up) so ballora will walk down the hallway towards them. This gives you more time to walk forward. Take care to not go too close however, as this may result in an insta-kill. This strat works, it wouldn't be here if it didn't.

When Ballora is alerted by the minirinas she will be alerted in 2 different ways, close and far.

This part of the guide was empty for a while because Ballora changed during the new patch, however it still works.

If you want to understand how to walk when Ballora is alerted that watch this video.

VIDEO

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Side note: When you make it to the end of the hallway and Ballora spawns behind you, you can do the walking shimmy into the door. I believe the backtracking interval is still 1 second, however I will still need to double check.

**Conclusion**

Hope you enjoyed this brief guide on how to consistently get good times on Ballora Gallery flatmode. If there is anything that you didn't understand, feel free to DM me on Discord at "HelloThere2680". I will continue to play and if I find anymore strats I'll add them later on. Also if you see any mistakes let me know.

Run Requirements!! 

## Hello there! 

I thought I'd make a little guide clarifying the requirements for each ending and full game run to try and help those of you looking to run it. Hope this is helpful :)

# Batteries%

In order to get the Batteries Not Included ending, you need to collect 6 "Faz-Force" figurines. These come in gifts placed at the Performer's Stage in the hub and will randomly appear when you beat a level. They actually spawn after completing specific levels and it doesn't matter which levels you beat first. Gifts will always spawn after completing these specific levels:

- Staff Only: Fizzy Faz Night 5
- Sister Location: Office - Job Interview
- Food Prep: Pizza Pizza Pizza! 
- Ticket Booth: Cinder Carousel
- Fazcade: Music Man - Advanced (Music Man 2)
- Backstage: Roxy Salon

When you beat one of these minigames for the first time, a gift will always spawn, so be ready to open it. Also, remember the final, big gift that spawns after opening the 6th gift, opening that final gift and starting the cutscene will finish your run!

# Consequences%

To get the consequences achievement, you are required to first get all of the memories hidden in the levels. They are hidden in these levels:

- Staff Only: Fizzy Faz Night 3 (make the graveyard drink, use an emergency shutdown and then send off the drink) 
- Sister Location: Office - Puppet Master (open the drawer and put in the code "1983" || you can get this memory in Restricted Area with a skip!) 
- Food Prep: Fazbear Theatre (throw all chica related items in the trash; Chica Chug, Chica Chuggee, Lemon Chica Bar and Chica Chowder) 
- Fazcade: Bonk a Bon 2 - Bonus Round (when entering the bonus round, whack the glitch trap that pops out of one of the holes to start the tilt. Proceed to put the displayed code in backwards) 
- Fazcade: Fazerblast - FNAF 3 (simply play Fazerblast levels Space, Western and FNAF 1 in order, but make sure you shoot the rocket in each level otherwise you WILL NOT unlock FNAF 3. After you have shot all of the rockets, you will play FNAF 2 as normal, though make sure you shoot every animatronic threat. Simply play FNAF 3 and complete it as normal and you will be awarded with the memory) 
- Ticket Booth: Foxy Pirate Log Ride (shoot all 3 of the Helpy cutouts to take you into secret routes. Hidden in these routes are blue stars, 1 in each and 1 on the birthday cake at the end of the ride. You do not have to worry about score, but make sure you do not die to Jack-o-Moon. After you have shot all of the blue stars, you will be taken to a secret room where a treasure chest will be waiting for you with the memory inside. 

After getting all of the memories, the Mystic Hippo will have a glitched purple coin with her, this coin will allow you to play Princess Quest IV, play that as normal to finish the run.

# 100%

You are required to complete both endings in 100% as well as complete all Minigames, collect all of the coins and get all of the prizes. I will go over all of the coin locations as completing all Minigames should be easy enough to figure out lol.

- 5 in Hub; 1 on the tray to the left of you where you first spawn, 1 in the prize machine with the cupcake inside, 1 by the cafeteria thingy, 1 in the cash machine and 1 in the corner with the tvs. 
- 1 in Cold Storage, underneath the cake to your right
- 1 in First Aid - Scrap Baby, in the drawer with the hacksaw
- 1 in any of the Sister Location: Office levels, hidden behind the camera buttons thingy
- 1 in Arts and Crafts - Daycare, underneath the pot of glue
- 1 in Shattered Roxy Salon, underneath the desk to your right
- 1 in one of the Fazerblast levels, I believe FNAF 1 or FNAF 2, inside #1 Crate

Didn't bother talking about all endings because all I put above applies.

- **All You Can Eat** – Eat edible objects in the game for ever and ever and ever. (eat 200 foods, this can be cheesed with empty side containers in El Chips)
- **Heckle the Heckler** – Give the Carnie what it deserves. (after starting a Fazerblast: FNAF 1 and onwards level (Hitting the targets to actually start it up), just harass Carnie with whatever you have. Lasers, Balls, Darts, everything. Just keep throwing/shooting until you eventually get the achievement)

I hope this was helpful for you gamers, best of luck running!!  :D

Timer Clarifications

## Hello, gamers.

I thought I'd make a little thingy to help runners out with the timer, as it can be a little confusing as to when it starts and when it stops. If I am wrong about any of these, please correct me :)

# Timer Start

Nice and easy one. The timer always starts on the first frame of being loaded into the hub/level. Also may be important to mention that if you are doing a full game run, loading times don't appear to be cut from the final run.

## Timer End: Full Game Runs

Batteries%: Timer ends on the first frame of the ending cutscene.

Consequences%: Timer ends upon the Glitchtrap Plush disappearing from your hand (being collected by Moon).

All Endings: Applies to either of the 2 above, depending on which ending you do last.

100%: Timer ends upon completing the final requirement, likely being unlocking the final reward from the prize machine. You also have to prove that you collected all of the coins hidden throughout the game, but to my knowledge that doesn't count toward the final timer unless you still have a coin to get.


All Achievements: Timer ends upon completing the final achievement. Order of achievement collection doesn't matter so just make sure you get them all.

### Timer End: Individual Levels

Carousel: Timer ends upon the timer on the carousel ending, nice and simple.

Carousel Cinder: Same as normal Carousel

Arts and Crafts - Daycare: Timer ends upon the final necessary press of the 'Done' button. This won't yet count if you fail the Paperpal in any way.

Arts and Crafts - Loft: Same as normal Arts and Crafts.

Staff Bot Salon: Timer ends upon the final necessary press of the 'Done' button. This won't yet count if you fail the task in any way.

Roxy Salon: Same as the Staff Bot Salon.

Shattered Roxy Salon: NOT the same as Roxy Salon, the timer ends upon the first frame of the game registering the Roxy is wearing her mask.

El Chips: Timer ends upon the final necessary press of the bell. This won't yet count if you fail the order in any way.

Pizza Pizza Pizza!: Same as El Chips.

Fazbear Theatre: Same as El Chips and Pizza Pizza Pizza!

Cold Storage: Timer ends upon the first frame of the game registering the cake being in Freddy's chest cavity, may also be determined by the noise made along with the cake being placed.

First Aid (Helpy): Timer ends upon Helpy eating the final candy. This applies to all levels; Pig Patch, Lefty and Scrap Baby.

Fizzy Faz: Timer ends upon pressing the submit button on the final order. This applies to all 5 levels.

Endo Warehouse: Timer ends on the final correct card flipping over.

Music Man: Timer ends upon pressing the 'Submit' button for the final necessary time. This applies to all 3 levels.

Ballora Gallery: Timer ends upon entering the exit door/hearing Ballora unwind.

Breaker Room: Timer ends upon the final breaker thingy being repaired (unsure what it is called lol).



Hope this is helpful :)

Wrench Skip Tutorial

Wrench Skip is a very useful skip used to unlock hard mode early. Here's how to do it!

Before you begin, make sure you have snap turning enabled. (Default settings seem to work for me) Also ensure you have a decently sized playspace. (I don't know if or how Wrench Skip works for PS5)

To begin, teleport to the faz-wrench area. Then, walk forward as far as you can. When you can't walk forward anymore, turn around in real life and snap turn to the right 4 times. Repeat the process until you clip into the room.

[Here's a demonstration.](https://youtu.be/_cACaHUxhOU)

Hope this helps!

Patch

Hey! Real quick.

We've made a couple of changes to the written rules so that things are clearer and so that levels that previously didn't have rules written out now do. **No rules have actually been changed**. So don't worry about needing to read up on it all, it's just for clarity's sake.

Also, B
