Reminder: add videos to show how some technics works
Let's talk about terminology first: Double/Triple/Quad shot - player shoots in 2/3/4 directions simultaneously by pressing multiple arrows at the same time. "Multishot" means that any of this technics can be used for dealing damage (but Quad shot is the most effective anyway). i-frames - invulnerability frames. Player becomes invincible for a period of time, mostly after taking damage.
The Mind:
- Player has a lot of HP this fight, boss attacks are not so hard and he stays at the same place, so you can stay at the edge of his sprite and Double shot for the whole fight. You should have plenty of speed to do this, but it's very effective way to defeat him. But because of bad RNG it can be dangerous to stay, so move if you feel you'll lose soon. Video:
Panic:
- At 2nd and 3rd phase, you can barely hear from which side "walls" are coming. You better go in the opposite direction and try to make a hole in the "wall" as soon as possible. You can Double shot at right and left directions for most efficiency against Panic's attacks.
Anxiety:
- Before fight starts, you can shoot to the place where he appears so he will take some damage right after fight starts. Video:
Dad:
- Dad's dendrite doesn't hit the player as long as you stay inside of them even after i-frames ends. BUT! Touching other dendrite still deals damage to you. This works even on 2nd phase. Multishots are very effective. Video:
The Fear:
- In general, you can Double shot him for the whole fight (Triple shot is possible but very risky).
- At the laser attack, you can stay close enough to the boss and Double/Triple shot while running away. Also, he doesn't enter "Mist phase" at this attack so you can deal plenty of damage before it starts.
- Before "Mist phase" starts, you can stay inside of the boss and Triple/Quad shot him to start "Mist phase" a bit faster. When "Mist phase" starts, hitbox of the boss disappears so he won't instakill you. Double shot isn't included because it's not effective here.
- At the 50hp, you can stand at the center and Triple/Quad shot inside of the boss. You can defeat him faster before he instakills you. Double shot isn't included because it's not effective here. Video for 1/2:
Arachnojester:
- Arachnojester's web catches you even in i-frames. But if you stay inside of the boss, he won't instakill you, so you can Multishot him as long as you have HP and deal a lot of damage in a couple of seconds. Anyway, it's a bit risky because you lose HP so be careful. Video:
Golden Freddy:
- Same as Anxiety, you can shoot before the fight, but this time you have to trigger the fight manually.
- You can Double shoot him by standing very close. His whole sprite instakills you even in i-frames, be aware. Video:
Platinum Lockjaw:
- Vigo has hitboxes on his legs. When this hitbox touches the boss, instakill happens. But you can use it to Quad shot the boss by standing below PL but not touching him with hitbox.

Springtrap:
- Effective way to deal with phantoms is to get damaged by Ph.Freddy and Multishot all other phantoms while you are in i-frames, they should disappear before i-frames end. If you'll not take any damage except Ph.Freddy, you'll have 4 hp at the last phase so you can freely take damage by bullets here. That should be enough to close hatches.
- The best way to activate electricity is to close hatches in counter-clockwise order: top left - bottom left - bottom right - top right. Then, turn the valve and do a big circle in counterclockwise too. You should make it in 2 loops and then pull the lever.
- On the last phase it's better to go to the bottom right first, you should end up closing hatch on the bottom left corner. If you'll be fast enough after closing the last one, you can run straight to the right side, Springtrap shouldn't catch you but that's really tight timing. In perfect case you can fill the room in 3 loops. Video:
Real Vigo:
- Colored balls spawn time goes even when with picked up ball. So, if you can't reach the right one, you can pick up the wrong one and shoot in the void so new will appear faster. Good way to manipulate RNG.
- RV's shield isn't random, it changes its color every 1,5 seconds. Cooldown goes even when you don't grab the ball, but RV doesn't change shield color.
- RV doesn't change shield color if player picked up the wrong ball.
