Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is the sequel to a unique horror game. One that leaves players virtually helpless as several animatronic characters close in on them, and their only defense being a trusty flashlight, the mask of a decommissioned teddy, and a combination of some serious multi-tasking skills and grainy CCTV footage. We've played the game countless times in order to bring you this selection of hints and tips, to save you from the night terrors and nervous jitters in advance.

Tools of the Trade

• Stay in the light - You'll soon come to treasure your flashlight as one of the most valuable possessions in your very limited arsenal. While not all of the characters react to it in the same way, the beam is effective at keeping several of them at bay - specifically those that appear down the corridor on the way to your desk.

• There's no shame in hiding - The bear mask is your second "weapon" and is particularly useful against the smaller characters (New Bonnie, "Balloon Boy," The Mangle, etc) who worm their way through the vents. These are the critters that will mistake you for another animatronic, and thus leave you alone, when you're wearing the mask. You should keep on for at least 5-10 seconds to be sure, though.

• Know your territory - The map of the premises and the cameras are useful for keeping track of their movements, with the remodeled main characters situated on the Stage on Camera 9. When one of them goes missing you know they're on their way towards your office.

• Don't stop the music - Never let the music box complete its cycle. A warning signal will flash when it is getting dangerously close to popping out another not-so-cuddly character, and that's the one you definitely won't see coming until it's too late.
