Walkthrough

1
Night 1 introduces the core mechanics of Five Nights at Freddy's 3. While generally easier, carelessness can still lead to failure.
2
Foxy activates at 3 AM. He can kill you if you ignore the cameras entirely, but is not a significant threat if you check them at regular intervals after 3 AM.
3
Bonnie activates at 2 AM with AI level 1. He has a 5% chance to move between 2 AM and 3 AM. Keep an eye on him and check the left door's light periodically to see if he is at the door.
4
Chica activates at 3 AM with a low AI level on Night 1, posing little threat. You can monitor camera 4B starting at 3 AM.
5
To cheese Night 1, close your left door shortly after 3 AM and keep it closed. The odds of Bonnie getting past are very low, and Foxy's delay means he usually only gets one rush attempt, minimizing power drain. Keeping the door closed prevents Chica from reaching you.

Tips

Continuously monitor Bonnie, as he is the primary threat on Night 1.
Do not neglect the cameras entirely; regular checks are crucial.
If you choose the cheese strategy, ensure the left door remains closed after 3 AM.
Foxy is only a risk if cameras are completely ignored for extended periods.
