The Stanley Parable: Bomb Ending Secrets

Please do not spread a hoax, or you are officially a fool for doing so.” 0:30: “The numbered buttons do not even have a name. All five are anonymous.” 0:38: “These four buttons are called "countdowncatbutXa" where X is 1, 3 or 4.” 0:54: “Two buttons, both called "countdownfrtbut1a".” 1:03: “The console is called "countdown_voltbutton".” 1:17: “Correction: The Failsafe button (called "countdowntoppart2but") is not broken. It does unlock by itself exactly 62 seconds after the On button was pressed. It is not an error in the map design. It still does not prevent the explosion though.” 1:36: “First set: Each of them four are called "countdowncodebut1".” 1:40: “Second set: Each of them four are called "countdowncodebut2". And so on, for the third and fourth sets.” 2:23: “The green buttons, each called "countdowntoppart2but", target an entity called "countdownscreen2r". Such entity does not exist in this map.” 2:32: “The first three of the 18 are called "countdownrobbut1a".” 2:41: “The next eight of the 18 are all called "countdownenrbuta".” 2:55: “Then six buttons that are called "countdowncupbut1a".” 3:10: “One (this one) of the 18 buttons is called "countdowncupbuta". ” 3:16: “These four + two buttons that do nothing are called "countdowntopbuta".” 3:28: “The big red button is called "countdownfrtbut3". ” 3:34: “If you come across a video or some other article that claims that this red button does something particular when 8 seconds of time remains, IT IS A HOAX.|Seriously. I wish I didn’t need to put these obnoxious annotations up.” 4:40: “If you noclip behind those doors, you find that there’s nothing behind. The doors are practically walls, i.e. edges of the map boundaries.”

[@ethanlivemere1162]

I tried to solve this puzzle for so long... Even though the Narrator says there's no solution, I refused to believe it. It just seemed to be too elaborate. There were clearly sections of a puzzle; the four sets of four buttons, the failsafe, the big red button with the three attempts... I was so disappointed to find out there was no solution. And yet... that's what made it tie in perfectly with the rest of the game. This isn't Portal, where you can outsmart the A.I. and prevent them from killing you with neurotoxin (or in this case a bomb). This is The Stanley Parable, where the only way to win the game is by not playing it. As the Female Narrator said, as long as you play the game, you have no real choices. You can think you have an impact on the story, but in reality, the only real choice you have is to quit the game. But then again, this game is way too much fun not to play.

[@minifigamer9898]

Nah, not playing for five years is literally an achievement, in essence, we've all been playing the Stanley parable from birth until death, there is no winning move, even the "only winning move is not to play" isn't actually a winning move.

[@Bisqwit]

I used ent_teleport. But noclip is a cheat in Source games you can use to fly freely through wall around the map. It cannot be used in Stanley Parable because of how it's built, but other Source games can still be used to inspect the map in a circumspect way.

If I was a devious developer; I’d have a variable tracker on each button individually that tracked weather the button has been pressed. Then hide a daemon that checks each of those variables once a second and does a thread injection once the correct combination has been clicked.

[@Bisqwit]

Thread injection?

[@jaredt.murphy8257]

I spent several hours making a fully labeled hand-drawn top-down diagram of the room, I listed out all the "clue messages" and the images that accompany them. I labeled the diagram buttons by color and symbol, and then used it to try and form a button "order" to figure out what each colored button's "name" is.... Finally, I said - forget it, I'll cave and look it up. What an amazing game that only after seeing someone break apart the code do I believe it's not possible. Bless you, haha!

[@Bisqwit]

Thank you! That was interesting to read. Mind you, if you play the Ultra Deluxe version, I have heard that it is in fact somehow possible to do some things that I said in this video they are not possible. I haven’t played Ultra Deluxe, so I don’t know to what extent it is different now.

[@Bisqwit]

quincy29125, the accursed Google+-KZbin frankenstein monster does not let me reply directly to your comments for some reason, so I hope you see my reply here. No, I do not know how to get the impossible achievement aside from using the _u console command. None of the maps, including the hidden maps, seem to include a trigger for that command. Regarding the charge monitor going up, I don't know what you saw. The charge monitors are called "countdowntopscreen2", and the only two situations where those screens change are when you hit the failsafe button (the screens flash through various things), and when the global timer elapses 233 seconds after pressing the On button, at which point the monitors show the text "Good bye employee 427".

[@quincy29125]

so i just have to type _u in the console?

[@quincy29125]

i tried it it doesn't work, how did you noclip?

[@quincy29125]

Hey i found out how to get the unachievable achievement it's here wwwxthemutegamerxcom/guide/the-stanley-parable/unachievable-achievement/

[@Bisqwit]

The game prevents typing _u directly from the console, much like it does with tsp_reload. I have not tried it, but I would presume it will allow it if bounced through a command object, such as: ent_fire cmd command _u This would be much simpler than trying to work with the ~ problem.

People here trying to say that there's a escape. No, there is not. You choose to activate the Mind Control Facility, now you'll have to face it. This game is not like Portal, that you can solve puzzles. There's no puzzle. It's about making choices. You can choose to live or die, it's simple. Ok, you died one time, you're going to try again, pressing the button to activate the bomb, to find a away to "survive". Well, if you want to survive, why don't you just deactivate the machine at the beginning? It's simple, you can choose. At the end of the bomb timer, the narrator says: "Will you cling desperately to your frail life, or will you let it go peacefully? Another choice! Make it count." You choose to die, now face it, let it go, peacefully. Or you can just restart the game, or quit. That is the only way.

[@Dragonosh166]

I found an escape. Well "found" might be a bit misleading. I physically edited the map to make the code 1-2-3-4-5 teleport you to the "Freedom" ending. I know, this is not legitimate by means of actually in the game, but I grew tired of not being able to do anything. I did the same thing with "Escape" ending in redstair. I just took the ending from portal 2 (the cutscene) and linked it. There's a rediculous amount of lag though. I think it may be that TSP doesn't operate on the portal 2 engine. Dev console lights up with countless errors, and screen artifacts, but atleast I have an ending now.

[@patronise]

Thanks for putting this together and doing a thorough job of it too. I tried a few times to figure out the puzzle in this room, but like most things in the game, it's all about subverting your expectations.

[@SupaKoopaKid64]

It would've been quicker to make a four-second video with "You're Fucked" in big bold letters displayed dead center of the screen.

[@Bisqwit]

Maybe, but it would convince nobody. Nobody would even watch it. I know I wouldn't.

[@SupaKoopaKid64]

Bisqwit I know, I was just making a joke. In all seriousness, though, it's a lot smarter to investigate rather than assume, and your video does just that. I've only seen playthroughs of the game, courtesy of Markiplier, but I do appreciate that you would go to these lengths to directly show people what would happen if they tried anything, even if nothing does happen. It must have taken a lot of patience.

[@chistinelane]

You can escape. Go out the way you came using the console to unlock doors, Teleport down to the monitor room, (very important) click the light bulb button, open a few more doors and run out to the museum ending where the female narrator saves your bacon. You'll have just enough time before the game disables the countdown. Commands used Teleport: bind x "ent_teleport player" Unlock and open: bind tab "ent_fire !picker unlock; ent_fire !picker open" Crosshair: Crosshair 1 Bark (absolutely necessary )

[@TheKarui]

The broom closet is the best ending XD

[@redactedgamer1975]

BISQUIT PLZ DO VIDEO ON BROOM CLOSET ENDING SECRETS.

[@Gengyuro]

The only part left unchecked in the video was the trapdoor, but most likely won't do anything either.

[@Harpeia]

Thank you for this video. It has proven that it's the room that is flawed rather than my combinatorial calculus abilities.

[@Johndoe-nb2sm]

No it's a moral you can't get out of every situation you come across even if you have hope there's not always a failsafe.

[@DaniXks]

except I said that in a video I did 1 month before this one...he copied it and I just realised

[@Bisqwit]

DaniXks Sorry to disappoint you, but it really does happen that people make videos about same topics. I had no idea about your video until now. I'm sorry if you feel it's unjust that this one has got more views. That's just how Internet works. Viewerships are random. And if you really insist that I copied your video, watching the beginning of my video carefully, as well as reading the annotations, should reveal that there really was an independent process of studying the map file that motivated making this video.

[@Harpeia]

lord vegeta DaniXks Bisqwit Why are you replying to my comment though?

[@DaniXks]

I don't know what to believe right now. I know it can happen and I understand that might be just be a coincidence but I'm just a bit mad because of the views, that's all. Glad you got so many from it. nicely done... :) Anyways, it's been 1 year, so I think it's too late for anything right now. I'm sorry too If I annoyed you.

[@yerk55]

That's cool you were able to fix the failsafe button. Shame it was broken, there was another tiny little joke locked in there with "failsafe failure". Thanks for showing it. I love this game.

[@conspiracyphreakphreaka6082]

wow i mean really, how can people say he didnt show secrets or didnt do what title says or complain about someones tone or language, jesus people he hacked the damn thing, showed everything nice and slowly, did it in a language 50-70% of the world uses and did it pretty damn well.. wtf peeps throw a guy a bone huh? you know damn well if he just said it has no ending everyone would fraking complain it was to short and you didnt show it. i for one thank you, no more feaking running around having a heart attack trying to not die again, and again, and again, lol

[@hyphz]

There is one way to escape, you can use the portal console commands to make a portal back to the entrance area and then flee down the path to the museum ending instead.

[@Bisqwit]

hyphz Even if you make a portal into some other section, the explosion timer will still be running, and will kill you. You can escape by making another map load before the explosion, but with console commands you can jump directly into any map you want right away, such as with "map redstair". With console commands you can do pretty much anything. Including load a quicksave. But if you indeed use instruments outside the game logic itself, you might also use them to quit the game, most definitely "escaping" the detonation. But Stanley won't come with you.

[@JoLiKMC]

That was very interesting! I had no idea that room was programmed like that. The one secret you found way up high was pretty cool, too. I kind of wish the programming team had done something fun to punish/reward people using console commands though. That would've been great! And as a sidenote, I really like your voice.

[@Bisqwit]

Thanks Joseph Collins! They did punish people for using the sv_cheats command, but not the other commands. Not being able to use sv_cheats in the standard game almost prevented me from publishing this video at all (for recording the demo requires the use of the host_framerate command, that is barricaded behind the prohibited sv_cheats setting), but I managed to do that eventually by tampering enough with the demo version.

[@DaedalusRaistlin]

Nice, looking into the map entities is a smart move. Piecing it all together can be tricky, but it can be done. It's just like a scripting language. Nice work.

[@TheSFMCreators]

Your voice is awesome!

[@nateghast6456]

That feeling when you're trying to solve the bomb ending but you get 30 seconds of unskippable ads and die.

[@Floymin]

Why does this guy's voice delivery remind me of GlaDOS?

[@Bisqwit]

Ricardo Martin Because I come from a language background you don't recognize, and thus my accent is alien to you, and you've played Portal a lot. Your brain associates the unfamiliar accent with whatever sound it happens to remind you most, and GLaDOS has a big spot on your memory pool of sounds to choose from. It also helps that this game is based on Portal 2 engine and most of its graphical assets come from Portal 2, further influencing the way your memory works.

[@Floymin]

Bisqwit Wow. Add some sardonic humor to that drivel and you could be her twin! Are you the voice-over actor for GlaDOS in whatever country your native language is?

[@Bisqwit]

With some 5-6 million speakers, Finnish is unfortunately usually not seen as an important language to dub for, and Finns are pretty happy with subtitles. Such is also the case for all of Valve's games, including the Portal series. Thank you for the sentiment. Sardonic humor is unfortunately not my forte.

[@exsosus5002]

Thank you for using a developer console and checking all the buttons. We really appreciate it.

[@chaoticgrapefruit]

What if you do the sv_cheats 1?

[@Bisqwit]

If the command "sv_cheats 1" is entered, the game server automatically executes the command "map seriousroom" and disregards the sv_cheats.

[@chaoticgrapefruit]

Bisqwit No, I mean if you are in the bomb room.

[@Bisqwit]

chaoticgrapefruit It still happens. The game immediately switches into the seriousroom map and the cheats will not be activated. It is disputable whether this counts as escaping the detonation though! For you could also do e.g. "map redstair" to jump to the escape pod ending; similarly "escaping" the detonation.

[@spectralspectra2282]

There is actually one way to excape the room, restart the game, it's that easy

[@JesseDoctorGilbert]

so guess what.. matpat you cant do it XD

[@Nikklas57]

Great video! Mood is astoundingly fitting

[@joshuanorman2]

*I liked the part when the buttons were useless*

[@srpilha]

brilliant video, your tone and timing match the game perfectly :) of course, the results of your exploration do too...

[@Bisqwit]

Thank you! It was not unintentional to match them.

[@sarcasm4905]

You're Finnish? Honestly couldn't tell.. I notice a foreign accent, but otherwise your english is very good.

[@Bisqwit]

Thank you! I train nearly every day. If I was a lot younger and lived in e.g. USA or UK, maybe I would learn the natural way to pronounce English faster. Mine is just an imitation, but getting there.

Bisqwit Your voice is perfect for this video, the way you keep saying 'this button is useless, or these buttons do not do anything at all... its tone and speed gives a creepy side which parallels with the scene. Pure poetry man!

[@UnicRainbowFarts]

this video was art! beautifully done sir

[@thetimelords911]

nice 666 likes you got there satan...

[@Bisqwit]

Says 671 here.

[@thetimelords911]

it said 666 for me :3

[@someweeb3650]

Dante Bettencourt for me its 871 :/

[@thetimelords911]

i am epicness guess its risen a little since ive posted that comment :P

[@sliingshotded4627]

Satan doesn't exist. Like any god.

[@Fox_RZK]

I applaud you, good sir. Now I can rest easy.

[@scumpee2121]

Yes we are free we are free *cough* there's nothing here

[@ashisharky]

Actually the numbered buttons do do something and that something is a emergency exit you need to enter the right combo and hit the big red button at 0:08:XX

[@aaandag9688]

I think through the whole story/endings The Narrator is the antagonist and if you obey him he'll be a friend, but if you disobey him he'll try killing/being rude to you.

[@PrettyJeffMaybe]

Yeah, I tried that whole secret code thing and it didn't work. Nice to know that it wasn't just me screwing up.

[@BalynOmavel]

To sum up: there is no way to turn off a timer?

[@richardbusby3253]

I think the droll narration of this video is probably the best part.
