Is It POSSIBLE to Beat Five Nights at Freddy's 2 WITHOUT using the LIGHTS?

That's right, I'm back at it again. Today I'm going to attempt to answer another burning question: Is it possible to beat Five Nights at Freddy's 2 without using the lights?
As you may know, Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a popular survival horror game that requires you to survive five nights while being trapped in a new pizzeria with even more malfunctioning animatronics.
In this video, I'm going to take on the challenge of beating the game without using any lights. I'll be sharing my gameplay experience with you, my thoughts and reactions as I try to survive EVERY night without relying on the lights.
I'll be giving you my tips and strategies as I go along, and hopefully, we'll find out together if it's possible to beat the game without the lights. It's definitely going to be a challenge, especially with the new animatronics, but I'm excited to see if we can do it!
So if you're ready to join me on this adventure and find out if it's possible to beat Five Nights at Freddy's 2 without using the lights, be sure to watch this video. Don't forget to like and subscribe for more gaming content, and let me know in the comments if you think it's possible or not. Let's find out together!

The fourth sound it means that it is in the office.

Something with Balloon Boy that most people don't notice: Although BB only appears on two cameras, he has a pattern so you never have to check.

[@DrewNukem]

Balloon Boy is a lot more simplier shockingly enough. Every 4 movement sounds (either BB saying "hi", "hello", or laughing) means he's waiting in the vent in the office. You can pull your mask down and wait him out. So if you start counting from the very first noise of BB, you can track every single time he enters his vent without checking the vent. (oh and it takes 5 seconds for every vent animatronic to leave, except for toy bonnie)

[@gabethepianist313]

One tip that can help with 10/20 mode without lights (or just the game in general) is about ballon boy. He is in his kill stage after he makes 4 of his unique sound cues. So if you focus on counting his sound cues, it’s one less animatronic to worry about.

[@namesmitt]

He will also always say "HI" when he enters the vent opening.

[@newmeta2668]

His issue wasn't with BB's sound cues, it was the fact that BB doesn't make a unique sound effect when leaving the vent, making it impossible to know if he has left or if someone else has moved. This + BB being very aggressive on night 6 makes him a very difficult animatronic to deal with.

[@Az.Or.]

I'd like to add that BB stays in the vent opening for a maximum of 5 seconds.

Something I've never understood about FNaF 2 is why the vents don't have covers on them? Like vents usually have that cover on them, quite literally screwed into the wall. The office would be so much safer if they invested in just a few covers, so there's another health violation for freddy's pizza EDIT: Actually, in Pizzeria Simulator, I just noticed that the vents in that game obviously HAD shutters on them, but they were torn through at some point. Maybe it was the same for FNaF 2? Perhaps the animatronics genuinely just tore the vent covers down so often the establishment took them off permanently, and maybe cleaned it up a bit so it's safe for kids to use as a fun thing to crawl through

[@ayejosek]

For people trying out this challenge or having trouble beating harder nights (golden freddy challenge or the other more difficult challenges, for example), there is a way to completely clear the side vents when any of the withereds enter your room. In the video, chicken takes the mask off as soon as possible, however if you leave the mask on for just a second after the screen clears from the blackout, all vent animatronics will leave. This really is only viable for when you have a withered enter your room, but it does help make the run easier. I’ve found that taking the mask off as soon as possible will oftentimes still leave animatronics in the vents and having to put the mask back on would be detrimental to the run. Waiting the extra second makes a huge difference.

[@RenShinomiya121]

there's also this tip for whenever the withered animatronics attack, they wait for around 2-3 seconds before you fail the mask check. you can flash once before putting on the mask to make sure foxy won't kill you while the withered animatronics attack. in fact, flashing once before doing everything just straight up eliminates foxy. Although this won't work for Golden Freddy since his kill time is less than 1 second so that's a reaction challenge.

[@LightHikaru]

​@@RenShinomiya121i had the withered animatronics kill me before reaching a 2 or 3 second count, i failed to put the mask right when i pulled down the camera then i put it back right after as soon as i could, it barely took 1 second and they could still kill you I'd assume the withered ones/toy freddy have you put the mask on in a second and a half or so while golden freddy is in one second or less, at least from my experience playing the game until i unlocked custom night

[@TheBadDeadFox]

Hey, I just finished watching the vid and it was incredible! You're truly a goat for beating this tough challenge especially with heavy amount of RNG involved, mad props to you, dude! :D However, I noticed some inaccuries and wanted to make some clarifications regarding some game mechanics (will mostly talk about Foxy and Balloon Boy, though). At 26:06 you said Foxy can still attack if there's an animatronic present in your room, which isn't true. While it's a fact Foxy gets more aggressive if you wear a mask if there's no danger (either in office or in vent blind spots), his aggression doesn't increase if you wear a mask while a blackout occurs; on the contrary even, his attack timer gets actually paused during light flickering sequence. The aforementioned blackout can be caused when Toy Freddy, Withered Freddy, Withered Bonnie and Withered Chica enter the office or when Toy Bonnie performs his sliding animation. Furthermore, there's a fail-safe programmed to ensure that all vent animatronics (with the exception of Toy Bonnie) leave the vent after 5 seconds, and what do you know, the blackout lasts exactly that amount of time. After the blackout ends, most players leave the mask for 3/4 seconds longer to increase the odds of vent animatronics leaving. What I assume from the footage, Foxy killed you because you kept your mask for too long. Also, the flashlight trick didn't work at 24:29 on Night 6 because the game determines whether or not Foxy should leave the hallway with this equation (not an exact equation, paraphrasing it for better clarity): flashCounter >= 100 frames * nightNumber. On Night 4 the required amount of flash frames was 400 (100*4), the game runs at 60FPS, so Foxy left after 20 flashes here because you were lighting the hallway for 20 frames (~0.33 seconds). 10:20 - It is true that Balloon Boy can only appear on 2 cameras (those being Game Area and Left Air Vent), but he actually has 4 mandatory moving opportunities. I guess Scott rushed and didn't have renders for him ready in Party Room or someting??? Anyways, whenever he succeeds said opportunity to move, he will emit one of his audio cues. This means, at the 4th successful attempt he will be in the vent blind spot, you just gotta keep track of the number of his voice lines. Additional fun fact: Balloon Boy is polite and will only greet you with "hi" or "hello" when he gets to the vent blind spot, but never laugh. Knowing this, it should help tracking Balloon Boy MUCH easier. P. S. about 25:48. There's a 1/10 (10%) chance of getting a minigame upon dying, so a possibility of getting 3 subsequential death minigames is 1/1000 (0.1%)

[@shade6735]

Can you explain more on foxy? It doesn't make any sense

​@@shade6735 if i understood it correctly, foxy doesn't kill you when you have flickering lights, you get killed because people wear mask for extra time after animatronic left to be safe, but foxy gets mad when you wear mask when there is no one there, so that speeds up the timer and he attacks you

also, does your equation mean that you don't need to spam flashlight and just gotta keep flashlight on for some time? or how does it check that you spam and not just keep the light on? and when does that counter gets reset?

[@namesmitt]

@@capsey_ Foxy's light exposure value will increase by 1 for every frame that the "viewing hall light" counter is on, which gets turned off at every 1 second interval. Meaning, you don't even need the light "on" for it to keep counting frames, because it only shuts off every second. This means that you can add up to 60 frames per second per flash, even if you only did one quick flashlight tap, but it can also give you like 2 per tap, lol, but spamming the light will always be better than holding it for that reason. So if you get that value over the needed requirements, Foxy retreats back to Parts/Service and gets stunned for 8.3-16.65 seconds. His light exposure value will never reset/decrease while he is in the office hall, but it will go back to 0 when he reenters Parts/Service. The value that controls his aggression is completely different, but in short, it gets set to 0 each time you flash him, so not only do you have to be consistently resetting that to 0, but you also need enough light exposure for Foxy to actually leave, because he won't do it on his own.

the important piece of info that wouldve helped with this challenge is that balloon boy only moves into "attack position" if you have the cameras up, most commonly right when you flip the camera up

[@ThePikminCaptain]

Same thing with mangle

[@Caidoz99]

Balloon Boy will ALWAYS play 4 sound cues (hi, hello, hahaha) before entering his attack phase, and him an Toy Chica will ALWAYS leave after you've had the mask on for about 5 seconds.

[@Zona984]

I’ll give more info about BB. He spawns in CAM 10 and he teleports to CAM 03 and he teleports to CAM 01 then he goes to the left vent aka CAM 05 and then he enters his attack phase with his vent sprite showing up on the left vent. If you don’t believe me go to the custom night set BB’s AI to 20 and go to CAM 03 and the camera goes static meaning he went to the room and then move the camera to CAM 01 the camera once again will go static then he goes to the left vent aka CAM 05. He also laughs every time he moves similarly like Freddy in FNAF 1. Another fun fact is when he’s in your vent he doesn’t trigger the alarm because the alarm only activates when a human sized animatronic is near you. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

[@sakucelty]

Even though I haven’t looked an ounce into the actual scripting, there could be some RNG manipulation that causes Foxy to fail every movement opportunity throughout the night. The same way people did the foxy door glitch in FNaF 1.

[@namesmitt]

It’s very difficult to cheese Withered Foxy unless you’re in 10/20 mode. He doesn’t share the same “random number from 1-20” functionality as everyone else; he’s a countdown. An-ever decreasing countdown that only pauses during blackouts. The only thing his AI does is get compared to the count to see if it’s low enough. If not, it’ll just wait another 5 seconds and check again. Same reason why AI 0 doesn’t stop him.

You made two problem about the vents. they don’t made a vent noise when they go into your vent and wither bonnie and wither chica dont go into a kill phase they immediately into your office

[@Mickelraven]

Did you know, the best way to avoid Balloon Boy is after he makes 3 noises (hi, hello or laugh), he's in the vent cam. And after the 4th noise, he's in the vent in your office. I learned this off of a strategy KZbin video in 2014, and it still works. Balloon Boy will always be in his "kill state" after the 4th sound effect, which is when you put on the mask. But yeah, the vent sound effect is terrible.

I recommend you check out Shooter25’s Green Run strat. Basically he has a timer on his screen, and he times the animatronic blackouts with Foxy’s attack time. Normally it’s every 10 seconds (starting after about 25 seconds into the game) so he forcefully tries to trigger a blackout. If he can’t, he just goes AFK or keeps the mask on to get rid of toy bonnie/ Chica.

Honestly, this seems really similar to base FNAF 2 gameplay. The camera lights are already basically useless since you always need to be on the music box, the withereds already appear in your office so no difference there, balloon boy and mangle have special sound cues, the only problem seems to be that you can't detect toy bonnie and chica, but moat people already tend to mask up automatically without checking for them, this just doesn't change that much.

It actually wouldn't make that much of a difference. You hardly ever use the camera lights and vent lights on 10/20 because most strategies don't involve them. If we're using Markipliers strategy (I know mark didnt invent the strategy, but i dunno who really did so im just gonna say that), the only light used was the hallway light, which is allowed for this challenge. Soo to answer your thoughts: Absolutely no difference whatsoever.
