FNAF 1 – Night 3 Complete Guide
📋 Table of Contents
Night 3 FNaF 1 marks a major difficulty spike in Five Nights at Freddy's. This is the night Freddy Fazbear himself becomes active — and once he starts moving, the tension skyrockets. Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy are already dangerous, but now you have to manage four active animatronics while keeping your power from running out.
If you've survived the first two nights, congratulations… but the real horror begins now.
🎮 Gameplay Overview
During Night 3 of FNaF 1, the animatronics become much more aggressive.
- Chica leaves the stage early, often before Bonnie does.
- Freddy starts roaming the pizzeria, moving through the Show Stage → Dining Area → Restrooms → Kitchen → East Hall → East Hall Corner.
- Foxy is faster, punishing players who neglect Pirate Cove.
- Golden Freddy can rarely appear but is easily avoided by lifting the camera and lowering it again.
- Freddy only attacks from the right side, and he can sneak into the Office if you open the monitor while the right door is up. Once he's in, there's no escape.
🧠 Strategy for Night 3 FNaF 1
The best survival plan combines camera discipline and door management:
- Check Pirate Cove (Foxy) – Look at him briefly every few seconds. If the curtain is open or Foxy is gone, close the left door immediately.
- Monitor Freddy's position – Watch him on camera 4B (East Hall Corner). If you hear his deep laugh, it means he's moved closer.
- Use Hall Lights for Bonnie & Chica – Don't waste power searching for them with the camera. Lights are faster and safer.
- Close doors only when needed – Leaving them down too long drains power fast.
- Never ignore Freddy's laughter – You can track his position by counting the laughs (5 total steps before he reaches your door).
💡 Pro tip: Keep one camera fixed on Freddy to slow him down — he won't move while being watched.
🎭 Freddy Management
Freddy Fazbear is the most dangerous animatronic in Night 3. Here's how to handle him:
- ✅ Freddy can't enter if you're watching him on camera 4B.
- ✅ Only open the monitor when both door lights are clear.
- ✅ Golden Freddy is harmless — flip the camera up and down to make him disappear.
- ✅ Power management becomes crucial — random door usage can ruin your run.
- ✅ From this night onward, all animatronics are active.
If both Foxy and Freddy attack in the same night, focus on checking Pirate Cove once an hour and Freddy's camera whenever possible.

☎️ Night 3 Phone Call
📞 Listen to the Original Phone Call
This is the actual phone call you'll hear during Night 3. Phone Guy provides crucial information about Freddy and the increased difficulty.
"Hello, hello! Hey, you're doing great! Most people don't last this long. Uh, things start getting real tonight... If you happen to get caught, maybe try playing dead? Then again, that might not work either... yeah, never mind, just don't get caught."
