While it’s far from lighthearted, this mode offers a thrilling challenge. Here’s how to survive all three nights in Three Nights at the Blacksite.

How to Survive in Three Nights at the Blacksite

Screenshot by The Escapist. If you’re familiar with Five Nights at Freddy’s, you’ll easily grasp the gameplay mechanics. For those who’ve played Pressure, you’ll recognize the monsters and know how to tackle them. Below, you’ll find a detailed guide to surviving each night step-by-step.

First Night Walkthrough

Screenshot by The Escapist. You start in a camera control room, equipped with surveillance footage from multiple cameras. Behind you are two doors that can be opened or closed. Keep in mind that closing the doors depletes your power, and running out of power means game over. The only ways to fend off monsters are by flashing them or closing the doors, both of which require power.

Your primary objective throughout all three nights is to constantly monitor the cameras, especially the top one. Sebastian should always be visible there. If he leaves the top camera, he'll quickly reach you and kill you. Regularly check the cameras for any anomalies and occasionally turn around to check the doors. Sound cues are clearer outside camera mode, so stay alert to impending threats.

We recommend turning around every 10 seconds or whenever you hear something unusual. Keep scanning the cameras and flash when you suspect Sebastian is nearby. If you can’t locate him on the top camera, quickly switch to cameras marked 1 and 2 to prevent him from advancing. Follow these tips, and you’ll reach 6 AM—the end of your shift—without issue.

Second Night Walkthrough

Screenshot by The Escapist. From 1 AM onward, you’ll face no immediate threats. Continue monitoring the cameras and flash if anything seems odd. When you hear something strange, turn around and close the doors. The first Angler attack occurs at 2 AM, similar to Night 1.

Around this time, the camera footage dims significantly, and static increases. Your best strategy is to frequently cycle through all cameras, particularly those marked 1 and 2. Don’t forget to turn around periodically!

A new monster, Crooked, appears tonight. He’ll appear on your doors, and you’ll need to close them briefly when he does. Pay extra attention to the cameras, as the static makes spotting threats harder. Pop-up alerts also increase, so close them promptly.

As the shift nears its end (5 AM), you’ll face two simultaneous Angler attacks. Stay focused during this critical hour.

Third Night Walkthrough

During the first Angler attack, keep the doors closed for a while, then reopen them cautiously. The monsters are stronger and faster now, making quick reactions crucial. Unlike the first two nights, where attacks occurred around 2 AM, tonight you’ll face four attacks.

After the two door attacks at around 3 AM, the difficulty ramps up further. You’ll need to keep the doors closed more often but must still monitor your power levels. The final two hours (4 AM and 5 AM) are the toughest, requiring you to balance flashing Sebastian and conserving power. Our advice: save power at all costs, even if it means skipping flashes on Sebastian (but only if he’s at cameras A1, B1, or C1).
