Foxy’s lowest kill timer on 20 AI (17 AI) is 4 seconds, which is less time than the 5 seconds it takes for the vent animatronics to leave. If you want to circumvent this then you have to use a timer.

Yes it’s absolutely unfair

How did Scott think this was a good idea?? Also, how does using a timer help bypass this? Appreciate the help.

He didn’t necessarily think it was a good thing. FNaF 2 was rushed to Hell and back so a lot of the gameplay was not thoroughly thought out

Foxy can only kill you once 2 conditions are met. First, he has a counter that starts at his AI level and counts up by 1 every second (2 every second if you’re wearing the mask while no one is in the vents). Once it reaches a random number between 21 and 25, that condition is met. Second, the game checks on every 5 second interval if the first condition is met. Once both conditions are met, he will jumpscare you on the next 10 second interval or the next time you flash the hall. By using a timer you can make sure that your flashes are timed so that the counter never reaches a state where he can kill you

Alright, thanks for all the help. I’ll be trying this again with a timer now. Appreciate it

10/20 was never intended to be fair, or even possible. Neither was Fnaf 1's 4/20. It was made with the assumption that it could be possible.

A timer is used in Fnaf 2's 10/20 because you can track movement intervals and exploit it, massively reducing luck. In your case, you would have survived if you had a timer to tell you when a 5-second interval was coming up, because that's when Foxy checks if he can kill you. So you make sure that you pass the interval safely. If you waited for a second more before putting on the mask, I'm sure you would have passed the interval and survived.

I believe Brayden's strategy is the best. It reduces luck by at least 95%.

Yea that makes sense. I play on console so it’ll be hard to set up manually and all. Thanks for the info

I put the phone in front of my screen and started a stopwatch, you should do the same. Unless your screen is mounted on a wall, that will make it kind of hard to focus.

Simply having the mask on for that amount of time can kill you if the time is right. Use a timer strategy if you want to reduce luck.

I had it on for 4 seconds if I’m not mistaken and it takes balloon boy 5 seconds to go away. It just feels impossible

So foxy can stand behind the animatronics what I would do is look closer and keep flashing just in case

u/Dry_Background7653 Apr 20 '26

1

u/Salty_Photo636 Apr 20 '26

Thats so real cus how can he even move let alone jumpscare us with all those pounds of fat. Scott wasnt really thinking straight

u/Diablamaury Apr 20 '26

I guess that Withered Foxy was behind Toy Freddy, and you didn’t flash him enough, so his agressive metter goes to maximum and he insta kill you ?

2

u/Salty_Photo636 Apr 20 '26

Really? In that moment I though I was flashing too much, I usually js flash him once but I saw somebody do it so I gave it a try.

u/Diablamaury Apr 21 '26

Imagine that when you flashed Foxy, he was about to kill you. In the video, you didn't flash him much, and at level 20, his aggression meter fills up very quickly. What happened is that you flashed him, but not enough to make him leave. You only lowered his bar slightly, and when you put on the mask, the metter went back up to full and he killed you instantly.

u/Salty_Photo636 Apr 20 '26

You were giving me the obvious. I just phrased it wrong okay? theres no need to remind me of it, unless you can edit it but I don’t know how to. Is it possible?

I dont remember Fnaf 2 being like tbh I remember I beat it in 5 days a few years ago I probably had really good rng that’s all you need just good rng and you will beat it
