Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location - How to Survive Night 4 in the Springtrap Suit
Here's how to beat night four in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location, including how to survive the Minireena onslaught and how to keep your suit's springlocks wound up.
How to Survive Night Four (AKA the Nitty Gritty)
-In the first wave, wait until the Minireena crawling up your right side gets close to the top of your head. Meanwhile, another Minireena should start crawling up your left side. Hit A or D to shake them off. It may take more than one shake to dislodge them (and generally, the more Minireenas you have on you, the more shakes it takes), but don't go nuts. Hit the button with a quick break in between each strike, then stop as soon as the Minireenas fall off.
-Wave two begins promptly thereafter (each wave starts when you see a red eye glaring off in the distance). You should still be winding the locks constantly, in the left-to-right pattern described earlier. You should see three Minireenas this time, with the first one ascending from the bottom-right. Again, shake them all off when the first Minireena comes close to your head.
-In the third wave, a Minireena quickly appears on the bottom-right, followed almost immediately by one on the bottom left and a couple of others. Again, wait for the first Minireena to ascend near your head before shaking them off. By waiting, you can make sure you get all the invaders at once.
-Round four is when things start to get a bit nutty. The locks wind down more quickly; you're probably only going to have enough time to wind them partway (about three-quarters of the way full, or approximately at the 2 o'clock position. Meanwhile, Minireenas come at you in increased numbers. When the top-right Minireena gets close to your head, shake them all off.
-Unfortunately, the Minireenas are going to keep on coming, and the springlocks will wind down even more quickly. You're probably only going to have enough time to wind them up about one-quarter of the way ( to the 9'oclock position). Though there are Minireenas swarming around your feet, you shouldn't have to shake anymore off. Just keep your locks wound and wait for your shift to end. Good luck!
Night four of Sister Location is definitely regarded as the hardest to survive, barring the survival game you play in the facility's secret room. Keeping track of everything at once is admittedly difficult. Just keep those locks wound up, keep a sharp eye for Minireenas climbing up the side of your suit (as opposed to the ones at your feet), and don't go nuts with the shaking-off procedure.
