Game Mechanics, Tips and Trick

Basic strategy:
- After timer starts, find him as fast as you can, and lure him to room farther than your office.

- Priority to reboot system: 
If he's close: Audio, camera, vent. 
If sound heard from ventilation: camera, vent, audio.
If he's far: vent, audio, camera.

- Takes 6 seconds to reboot one system. and 12 seconds to reboot all.

- Number of audio you can play before error
Night 1: unlimited/infinte
Night 2: 10
Night 3: 4
Night 4: 3
Night 5, Nightmare/Night 6: 2

- Cam 10 with vent 14 closed is the safest place.  It's so far from our office, and if he moves, most likely only to cam 9/vent (already closed). Beware BB on cam 10 though.

- See Wikia for complete springtrap position in each camera. http://freddy-fazbears-pizza.wikia.com/wiki/Springtrap

Deal with phantom animatronics:
BB: Appear mostly on cam 10 and 1. Switch camera immediately. You can play audio and close it immediately if you fast enough (seen in my run) 
Chica: Appear on cam 7. Switch camera immediately, and don't open maintenance panel for a few seconds. She'll broke ventilation system. 
Foxy: Appear on the left side of the office. Unknown for me. (just don't look left?) He disables Ventilation system.
Freddy:  Appear outside of the office window open your camera/maintenance panel. Don't close camera for too long. He'll broke ventilation system.
Mangle: Appear on cam 4. Unknown for me. (switch camera immediately?) He/she always broke the audio before I manage to switch camera. 
Puppet: Appear on cam 8. Switch camera immediately. He'll "Stun" us. We can't use monitor and maintenance panel for about 17 seconds. He won't broke any system. http://youtu.be/xrqYun_jhCY 

Repel Springtrap in the office.
Yes you can (only in some case though).
- If he appears outside the window office, immediately go to cam 2 and play the audio, then immediately close it again.  This leads to four situation.
1. He moves to cam 2. close vent cam 15 vent and try to lure him farther (cam 3 or 5 for example)
2. He moves to other camera. then you'll good.. :) (except cam 1 though)
3. He doesn't move. Wait for a second and try to play audio again
4. He move to left side. This means you weren't fast enough.

- If he is peeking on your left side, open camera play audio on cam 1 and close the camera again as fast as you can. This leads to two situation.
1. He appears in cam 1. reset the audio immediately even if it's not error. why? In nightmare, you only have 2 'bullets' of audio. It's good to keep it full because he's really close to you right now.
2. He don't appear in cam 1 (still peeking). Don't look to the left or he'll kill you. Instead, close the camera. open it again after a few seconds, play the audio again on cam 1, and hope he moves because the audio is error now (if you play in night 5 or nightmare)

Good Ending category for Console v1.3

### As you’re probably aware, FNaF 3 on Console received the aforementioned update v1.3, which fixes the many issues it initially had. However, not only did it improve on said flaws, but it also changed how you access the mini-games needed to achieve the Good Ending. In this guide, I’ll share the methods to access the mini-games for future speedruns on the Console update v1.3.

**NOTE**: This guide is made for the *Nintendo Switch* version. The *PS4* and *Xbox One* versions may vary in which button combinations are used.

# BB’s Air Adventure

- On **Cam 8**, simply *press* the **Y** button and it’ll take you there.

### That’s all there’s to it! While most of the methods shown remain the same as in previous versions, some have been altered. I hope this guide has been helpful to you (and others). Take care!

Night 4 Minigame (Golden Freddy Minigame) Guide

https://youtu.be/yKXf4KZnaTA

I know this might be a little difficult to process. If you need some pointers, please get in touch with me (Hailoh#3812) on the FNaF Series Discord, which you can find here: https://discord.gg/buTCrkA

ALSO I forgot to mention it in the video, but many shoutouts to Izh1832117, the current WR holder for Any% GE as of now. Their run is the one that introduced me to this skip. I highly recommend you check out some of their other runs; they have single-handedly changed the way I think about running some of the core games.

Time Saver (Skip Minigames)

Works for both Mobile and PC.

Works for PC in Bad Ending, Good Ending, 3-Star & 100% runs.

Works for Mobile in Bad Ending runs only!

When the 6:00 AM screen appears after beating a night, restart the game and then select "Load Game"/"Nightmare" and you will be taken to the next night.

This saves about 20-30 seconds.

Enjoy! ;)

Vital Mechanics and Animatronic Movements

Errors:
-Audio Error:
--Caused by over usage of the audio:
---Night 1: Infinite audio uses before an error
---Night 2: 10 audio uses before an error
---Night 3: 4 audio uses before an error
---Night 4: 3 audio uses before an error
---Night 5: 2 audio uses before an error
---Nightmare/Night 6: 2 audio uses before an error
---Aggressive Nightmare: 2 audio use before an error
--Unable to use audio until it is rebooted.
--Takes 6-8 seconds to reboot.
-Video Error:
--Caused by over usage of the camera.
--Camera view is obstructed until it is rebooted.
--Takes 6-8 seconds to reboot.
-Ventilation Error:
--Caused by phantoms appearing.
--Will set off an alarm that attracts Springtrap after a random amount of time.
--Will increase the likelihood of more phantoms appearing.
--Will cause you to 'blink'.
--Will open any sealed vent, and vents will be unable to be sealed.
--Takes 6-8 seconds to reboot.
-Reboot All takes 12-14 seconds, so if you have 3 errors and want to fix all, it is faster to use Reboot All. (Just reboot them seperatly if you just have 2 errors.)
-Priority to Reboot Systems:
--If he's far (no ambiance): Ventilation, Audio, Video
--If he's close (ambiance): Audio, Video, Ventilation
--If he enters a vent: Camera, Ventilation, Audio

Springtrap:
-From Night 2 onward, Springtrap becomes active as the main animatronic, also being the only one that can actually kill you.
-Starting Night: Night 2
-Starting Position:
--Random: Can start in Cam 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10
-Movement:
--At random times, he will move randomly to an adjacent camera that wouldn't be backtracking. He will sometimes backtrack. He can also enter vents that are adjacent to the camera he is in to get a boost toward you.
--If you hear an ambiance that is sort of like a whistle, he is getting close. A soft version of it means he is in either Cam 5 or 3. A loud version of it means he is in Cam 1, 2, Vent Cam 15, outside your window, at the door, or in the office. However, Phantom Freddy will also cause this ambiance, so it is not the best way of tracking Springtrap.
--If there is a Ventilation Error and the alarm goes off, Springtrap will move a lot faster and you may see multiple Springtraps in the cameras. These clones are hallucinations.
--Audio will not affect Springtrap if he is in a vent.
-How to keep him away:
--At the start of the night, locate Springtrap and immediately lure him to Cam 10 as quickly as possible using the 'Play audio' button in a camera adjacent to the one he is in. Once in Cam 10, Toggle Map and seal Vent Cam 14 by double clicking on the camera button.
--If he is Cam 2, 3, 4, or 5, lure him to Cam 5 immediately and seal Vent Cam 13. Don't lure him any further.
--If he is outside your window, lure him to Cam 2 and seal Vent Cam 15. Don't lure him any further.
--If he is in the hallway blind spot, lure him to Cam 1 and keep him there.
--If he is outside your door and it is 5AM, just stare at him in hopes of the ventilation being nice to you. Do not look away IF you are playing on PC. Looking away in the Mobile version will not kill you.
--If he is outside your door and it is not 5AM, pull up the camera and try to lure him to Cam 1. Do not lower the camera until he is in Cam 1. Do note that it is almost impossible for him to leave the office if he is in it already.
--If you don't see him in any camera or outside the window or door, he is either in the hallway blind spot or in the office.

Phantom BB:
-The most common phantom to encounter. He can appear in any non-vent camera, and will cause a Ventilation Error upon jumpscaring you.
-Starting Night: Night 2
-Trigger:
--Random upon opening the camera. He is most common on Cams 1 and 10.
-How to avoid him:
--Switch the camera immediately upon seeing him, you only have about 2 seconds to react. This time decreases as the week progresses.
-Effect of Jumpscare:
-Ventilation Error.

Phantom Freddy:
-He will appear in the hallway, and will cause a Ventilation Error upon jumpscaring you.
-Starting Night: Night 3
-Trigger:
--Random
-How to avoid him:
--Put up the camera or maintenance panel until he is out of sight. If he ducks down, he will jumpscare you.
-Effect of Jumpscare:
--Ventilation Error

Phantom Chica:
-Very similar to Phantom BB. She will appear in Cam 7, and will cause a Ventilation Error upon jumpscaring you.
-Starting Night: Night 3
-Trigger:
--Random upon viewing Cam 7
-How to avoid her:
--Switch the camera immediately upon seeing her trigger, you only have about half a second to react. Unlike BB, she will not force down the camera. If triggered, she will appear on the left side of the office and wait for you to look. (She won't wait for you to look if you are playing on Mobile. She will force you to look left.)
-Effect of Jumpscare:
--Ventilation Error, also more likely to set off the alarms more quickly for some reason.

Phantom Foxy:
-The only completely unavoidable phantom. He will only appear in the office, and will cause Ventilation Error upon jumpscaring you.
-Starting Night: Night 3
-Trigger:
--Random
-How to avoid him:
--In short, you can't. You can avoid looking left, but then errors will happen and you will need to look left. (He doesn't jumpscare you when he appears if you are already in a Ventilation Error.)
-Effect of Jumpscare:
--Ventilation Error

Phantom Mangle:
-The only phantom to not cause a Ventilation Error. She will appear in Cam 4, and will cause an Audio Error after her static finishes.
-Starting Night: Night 2
-Trigger:
--Random upon viewing Cam 4
-How to avoid her:
--Don't look at Cam 4. If she is there when you view it, there is no way to 'reject' her.
-Effect of 'Jumpscare':
--Audio Error

Phantom Puppet:
-Probably the most dangerous phantom. It will appear in Cam 8, and will cause a Ventilation Error after its 'jumpscare' finishes.
-Starting Night: Night 4
-Trigger
--Random upon viewing Cam 8
-How to avoid it:
--Don't look at Cam 8. If it is there when you view it, there is no way to 'reject' it. However, if you switch the camera immediately AND trigger another phantom, it will not attack you. So, if you see it, switch to Cam 7 or Cam 4 in hopes of triggering someone.
-Effect of 'Jumpscare':
--Obscuration of office view and prevention of the usage of the camera and maintenance panel for about 17 seconds
--Ventilation Error, that, will never make you blink or make the alarm go off. Also, on very rare occasions, this error doesn't happen.

It's a giant chunk of time to think about, and even though I
