How to beat 4/20 Mode - FNaF 1 Walkthrough | FNaF Academy 

Me back then: crying on night 4 Me now: **beats 4/20 mode five times in a row for fun**

A game that’s 10 years old and we’re still coming up with new strategies. One of the greatest horror games I grew up with.

It's really impressive how far gamers have come with this game. We've come from Markiplier spending 7 hours on beating this to strategies that can beat it in one or two tries

11:29 I love how you're bringing attention to the 'odor' part of the slip

Wow can't believe I beat the game in a week pretty ironic I must say myself

Its so satisfying to see a more consistent strategy emerge so long after the release. I cant believe how far this community has come from Scott saying this mode was impossible to people beating it consistently

To those of you who don’t know, if the AI is 20, then they will 100 percent move every 5 seconds. Same goes to the door thing. So if animatronics ai is 20 and they are at the door, it only takes five seconds for them to leave Atleast if you have the door shut

This is a great tutorial - I’ve been using Markiplier’s/Bigbug’s technique for a shit long time and I would always die at 4-5 AM. With this, I managed to beat 4/20 mode in my second attempt. Thank you for this; you guided and went through things well in the video.

Glad I’m not the only one still playing this.

How to beat 4/20 Mode easy way: 1-Start the night and close both doors imedatly 2-Place your cursor on freddy's nose on the poster (honk easteregg hitbox) 3-Press and hold C, then D and press + on numpad 4-GGez

Aint no way I just bought the game 5 hours ago and after watching years and years of Markiplier and using your strat, I just beat the WHOLE game AND 20/20/20/20 mode!!! Im so happy right now Im shaking man 😂 Thank you so so so much for this strategy omg 🙏

Messed up a bunch before realising that foxy won’t be stalled if you don’t let the monitor fully open. Have to wait for the white flash. Once I realised he never showed up

Yall it feels so weird leaving the right door open, yall its making my soul hurt

Freddy laughed 5 times already in like 4 seconds

This is seriously amazing. I beat the whole game using your guides and did almost all of them first try. You make the best guides. Keep it up :)

To optimise it even FURTHER don't check the right door until chica leaves the corner there, it's pointless since you will see when they leave through cams. Also if you have an animatronic at your door wait until footsteps to shine your light.

Remember that terrible outdated strategy that everyone used back in the day that relied mostly on "Freddy-luck" towards the end? Ah. Freddy laughs around 100 times if you use that one.

Thank you so much! I beat 4/20 on my second try with 4% power left, I didn't check pirate's cove at all with my camera being on the east hall corner from the beginning, only closed the right door when Chica was there,I started night 1 three days ago, Onto FNAF 2 now!

Thank you so much for these tutorials!! I just finished playing 4/20 mode, and after many tutorials, I finally won with this one! I'm so glad I found your channel. Keep up the good work mate

It's been forever since I've commented on your channel (You might remember me from your Fnaf 4 guides) decided to 100% Fnaf 1 today and I managed to do so under 24 hours and I couldn't have done it without YOUR help. On my behalf and the behalf of thousands of Fnaf fans thank you Ambience for taking the time to make these videos for us.

Dude this is seriously so amazing, I wanted to play the whole game and get the 3 stars but I remembered how awful the old strat was, I used this strat from the first night and ended up beating 4/20 mode in my 1st try, reaching 5 a.m. with 20% left. Thanks, I'm going to start fnaf 2 and I'm definitely going to use your strat :)

OMG THANK YOU. Without this tutorial i would've never completed the night, THANK YOU!! It's just a relief having the night and the game over with and now, i can proceed to the next. Once again, thank you!

Thank you so much bro! I've been working on this night for, IM NOT EVEN JOKING, 5 YEARS! Again man, thank you for ALL of your FNaF videos. Keep up the good work!

Thanks so much for this guide! I just beat 4/20 mode yesterday! I genuinely appreciate people like you that just want to help people beat FNaF.

After having the game since late 2014 I finally beat it! Always found it too hard, but after watching this I beat it in only a couple of attempts. I kept opening the doors too early with Chica and Bonnie. But still managed to beat it, now it is time for fnaf 2 golden Freddy mode!

THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH, after several hours (like 8) of trying the old method, I decided to look for another method. I found your video, switched to your method, and got it on the first try. Ty so much!

Just got it on my second attempt after watching this video. Thank you so much! I was previously doing the strat where you close the right door when checking the cameras so I could see Foxy’s progress but like you said it was hard and used too much power. Time to start FNAF 2!

Thanks for this guide! I’m a long time fan of FNAF, but have never played the games. I’m playing them all for the first time, and this guide helped me beat the original FNAF in two days!

I used this strategy and finished 4/20 mode on my first try, thank you since that strategy made the game far less difficult.

Idk how to describe it but as a kid I used to get night terrors about this game, probably because the sounds, gameplay and the design of the animatronics. I've conquered that fear now and am super impressed with this whole series. You made the game look like a joke I'm not surprised that the animatronics are scared of you.

Wow these startegys are rlly great that i managed to beat the whole game in a day keep up the great work man!

Your guides make the game super easy. I just got it on mobile because my pc wasn’t working, and decided to play it again. I beat 1st and second night first try. Third night I died once then one. 4-6 I won with zero deaths and 4/20 I beat 4th try. In all it took less than an hour because of your great strategies. Definitely going to subscribe

Using this strategy I made it to 5am, working on beating it. I'll update once it's beat, thanks!

This tutorial was fantastic. Only took me three attempts to beat 4/20 mode. Only lost the first two cause of bad gameplay and tabbing out on accident.

Bro thank you so much! I managed to beat the game with the 3 stars in just 3 hours with your strategies! You're amazing, you earned my sub, thank you.

DUDE THANK IT TOOK ME 2 YEARS TO BEAT NIGHT 5 AND NOW I BEAT 4/20 MODE ON MY SECOND TRY. YOU ARE A LEGEND 😄. +1 sub

thank you so much! I can't believe that I would be succeeding at this after 5 tries. I bought it for pc just now and beat nights 1-6 in a row, and then after 5 failed attempts I beat 4/20 mode. Thank you so much!❤️

thank you so much, was able to beat it in 5 attempts, excited to check out your other videos :)

you have helped me since night 4. i got so stuck, and now im finishing 4/20! markiplier was concidered KING of fnaf for doing what i just did

Thank you absolutely very much. I thought i had to always look at show stage but now when i watched your video i beat 4/29 mode 2 times. You have helped me through fnaf 1 these last 2 days. Thank you very much for making these videos for people to see.

I just beat this mode today using your method. It took a few tries but I got it after about 90 minutes. Even with this method, it is incredibly unnerving to play this game; not because horror elements, but the intensity of trying not to miss a move. I think I managed to keep Foxy at bay for the entire night.

i actually beated the entire game in a single day just by watching all of your guides, also i beated every night first try (except 4/20, i did it on my 2nd try)

you’re guides helped a lot, i beat night 5 and 6 thanks to you, now on to 4/20!

Even though I beat this a year ago, I can’t think you enough for this strategy. I was able to beat this game only a like two weeks when I was playing through the game, and I was able to beat 4/20 mode on my second try. This is also the first fnaf game I beat, so I love this game but not as much as the other ones. So I can’t think you enough cuz you also help me beat other fnaf games to, thank you!!!❤❤❤

Hey everyone I just wanted to let you know that if you stay on the camera for a bit more (maybe around 1 second or 0.75 seconds on cam 4b) this will completely eliminate foxy through out the night without even looking at pirates cove. You will run out of power but you will have enough time left to beat the night before Freddy attacks. And thank you Ambience for the guide:)

It took me about 7 attempts with this strat, so it's really good, thanks, helped a lot. Works better than the left door camp strat for me.

Bro you helped me so much, I was doing the outdated strategy =and dying at 4 or 5 AM, but with your strategy, I won again. Thank you so much bro.

Thank you so much, I finally beat 4/20 mode. As I followed your tips/guide the strategy that you gave was very helpful, and I did it. Thank you so much. I also beat it on PlayStation which was much harder. Thank you 🙏🏻

Finally, I can watch this video. But seriously. The strategy and commentary make you a *criminally* underrated RU-vidr.

i'm still seriously amazed how amazing ohlookitsfnaf's strategy was for all the way back in the day. it's a bit more luck based than this, but how much they knew of the game even back in 2014 is insane compared to other players at the time. this strategy is definitely safer than theirs, great video!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I watched this and I did 4/20 mode and after several stupid mistakes on my part I managed to beat 4/20 mode just now. So thank you so much!!!

dude your just incredible, in only 2 tries i already end the 4/20 with your strategy, really cool man.

I can't believe how well this works. Dead serious beat 4/20 mode 1st try!

Bro this strat is awesome! I've been trying just to stall Freddy from the stage but he kept escaping. The fact that you checked cam 4B EXCEPT Showstage is awesome, even though it took me some attempts I got it in 3 days.

Yo, thanks for the help on this night. This made 4/20 mode so much easier for me. If it wasn’t for your guides, I wouldn’t have beaten the night.

Thanks so much man. It took a while, but i finally managed to beat night 7. It was pretty hard. I had to be laser focused on it for like 10 minutes. I'm glad I finally beat it. Thanks so much man. Time for me to move on to fnaf 2! ;) You just earned a new subscriber!

I recently started playing all the games before Security Breach comes out for fun. Got through this one first try without dying,Including 4/20 using this strategy. Suffice to say, this game is EZ

Man you are a legend, I couldn't even reach 1 AM before, but thanks to you i did it first try after using this strategy

Thank you so so sooo much for this amazing guide, I almost got it first try, you just got a new subscriber!

Thank u so much for making these guides, they have helped me beat 4/20 in fnaf 1, 10/20 in fnaf 2, aggressive nightmare mode in fnaf 3, 5 am on 4/20 in fnaf 4, 10/20 mode in sl and 50/20 mode twice. These guides have been so helpful, thank u ambience :)

Thanks for making this! I only knew the old strategy and I felt like it was impossible for me to pull off but with enough practice, I actually believe it's possible to beat it with this strategy

Dude i have beat the game in a matter of 15 hours, whole game. Thank you!

This strategy INSANE!!! I beat 4/20 at first attempt with this. Thank you!!

your channel is what that most of fnaf players were looking for thank you so much for this content bro ;-)

Finally!! Loved it, I think I said this before but I'm saying again anyways, you're extremely talented and I'll do my best to introduce some of my friends to your channel, you deserve it. So, I know Scott patched the time it takes on some other 20 modes in futures games, but was it patched in this one aswell? FNAF 3 is actually my favorite one of the franchise, can't wait to watch all of your guides in one go!

Another great guide. Looks like you'll reach 400 subs by Easter. 👍

You helped me with night 4,5,6 and this one. THANK YOU!

I remember a couple of years ago, I tried beating 4/20 using the close the right door every time you look at foxy strat and I went insane. Well now with this I literally beat it on my actual very first attempt in 2 years. I'm very happy with that lol. It's insane how good this strategy is. Also foxy didn't attack me the entire night. I guess I was checking the cams too well? Because he actually didn't even leave once. Now onto my biggest nightmare. FNAF 2. I know exactly how unfair it is because I have got good practice on it. Reached 4 AM once. Now it's time to beat it. Imma watch your guide too see what I could gather. Thanks man.

Who here beat night 6 first attempt

Thx so much for this strategy! I beat it on the fourth try, it was pretty easy doing this strategy. I lost on the 1st try because I accidentally switched back to the wrong camera after checking foxy. The 2nd try, because the lights jammed on the left door because I didn’t check bonnie enough, and the third try because I got really bad freddy RNG. But this strategy works REALLY well if you do it right. I’m on mobile by the way, so it works well on mobile. I have games 1-4 right now, and after beating this, i have three stars on each one except for fnaf 4 because I literally cannot beat night seven, I wouldn’t ask you to make a video on that though, fnaf 4 really isn’t like the other games, i know exactly what to do for night 7, its just so hard. Anyways, this video earned u a new subscriber. Thanks man.

Your videos help me a lot. Now this weekend I can probably complete night 6 and 4/20 more first try

thank you so much, i was getting so close with marks method but when i did this one i beat it first try

I was able to beat 4/20 mode thanks to this strategy. My success was largely due to a fortunate circumstance where Bonnie appeared at the door just as Foxy was running down the hall, causing me to accidentally block Foxy.

Just beat night 6 and now I’m here Edit: I beat it with one death your tutorials are so helpful thanks

Very useful episode dude, after a few tries with your tactics, I managed to get through night 7. Thanks you so much.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME BEAT THIS GAME ❤

This strategy is great ! It allowed me beat it pretty easily ^^ It was not free, the appropriate difficulty for FNAF 1 :) I personally play th game on Switch so since the stick to go to a door is the same than the button to change camera so it adds challenge and you must be extra careful to not change camera since Freddy would enter and kill you, so you must not trigger the movement too early. Not terrible though

I just beat this on playstation and it only took me like 7 trys. Great strategy!

Thanks for this guide! Literally took me like 5 tries.

you literally are the GOAT, I beat this game on my first try using your strategy

On 7 th night i used this strategy.it worked perfect.But i did it in a little bit different. First,as soon as night 7 begins you go to pirate cove and spam the laptop untill you hear freddy laughing 4 times.when freddy laughed 4th laugh , you switch the camera to 4B.Then start focusing on left door.Spam the laptop 2 times then check on left light.If you see bonnie close the door.If not then keep spamming laptop twice then check on left door.When you are looking at 4B through the process,if you see freddie on 4B do the same process.If you see chicca instead of freddie,then first close the left door.Then check the light on right. if you see chica close door if dont see chica,check 4B again . If you see freddy then you can start doing the other process where you focus on left door.But if still sees chica on 4B then keep checking on left door. Check on foxy from 2am.if foxy hasnt appeared then check on him again at 5am.at 2am if he is just looking out of curtains then check him on 4am.if foxy's full body is out on 2am.Then keep checking on him on each hour. Good Luck. Thanks. See you at fnaf 2.

Foxy gets me at like 80% every time wtf

Hey thanks for the guide! Took maybe 4 or 5 attempts but I did it pretty easily with this strat. Was never able to beat it back in the day.

This strat is incredible and easy to follow. I made 1 modification where i always check the right door (left door, camera, right door, camera) because every time i tried your strat chica would immediately get to my door and kill me. Great video, thank you!

My 1st try on 4/20 mode, I tried using the strategy I used to beat nights 4 to 6, where I keep the camera on the stage to keep Freddy from moving at all. Let’s just say that strategy did not go so well lol (because Freddy moved anyway).

Foxy keeps killing me

This strategy is amazing I beat it on my 3rd try even on mobile even though I was not able to spam the camera as fast as you, It still worked. Freddy’s cooldown time is more than you would expect.

I remember watching this a year ago,you helped me a lot!

I'm using the same strategy, except that I don't check the right hallway light if I didn't see Chica on cam 4B (if the camera goes off, then I'll check it too) She seems to always be prioritized on cameras and appear over Freddy.

yoo, I'm practicing on this rn, and your guide really helps me understand the animatronics better ^^ Btw, Congrats on 1K subs buddy ;P UPDATE: I've done it ^^

Thank you. I would have never had the courage to beat fnaf without you even on console but on my 3rd attempt I managed to beat it.thank you

I like your videos! This tutorial helped me beat FNaF 1 4/20 Mode. I managed to beat 4/20 mode after watching this. Good job!

Thanks! I've finally 100%'d Fnaf 1! I didn’t touch the game for 3 months after beating Night 6 but ended up beating 4/20 mode on my 3rd try! I tried a different strategy where I kept the cameras up for 0.75-1 second, because of this Foxy never ran out his cove.

Hey man, Really enjoying the videos still trying 420 just panic late on when checking foxy, having main issues with always being a console player so finding it hard to move quickly and accurately with the mouse. For practising movement i've been going into custom night with bonnie and chica on 20 and 0 for foxy and freddie. Then checking pirates cove whenever chica is there. Do you think that's a good way to practise to beat 420? love the videos bro

Thanks to you I have done 4/20 mode in first try great guide!

Ambience thanks i couldnt beat fnaf without you thank you.

If I may, I can show you a video of a strategy I used that is even easier to get used to, and makes 4/20 Mode even more repeatable

I completed 4/20 a week ago and just now i see this. Great video though.

Looked this up before even trying thanks man.

I know this video has been out for 2 years now, but I beat the game because of it. I messed up a lot on my run and ran out of power, but I still beat it. Thanks for making this tutorial.
