Start a night. Then open the monitor and go to CAM 2B (West Hall Corner) and flip the monitor up and down until you see a poster of a close-up of Golden Freddy's face.
- Note that this method does not work on Android devices.

You'll see Golden Freddy sitting in front of you.

If you want him to kill you, just leave him there for a few seconds, but opening the monitor is the only way (besides completing a night) for him to disappear.

This will cause Golden Freddy's kill screen to appear and, once again, crash/freeze your game.

Question

How does Freddy turn the lights off?

Community Answer

Freddy doesn’t turn the lights off. When you lose power, there is a power outage. Freddy then comes and kills you.

Question

How do you keep Funtime Freddy from jump scaring you?

Tristen Avant

Community Answer

You have to keep making Bon Bon calm him down. If you are restarting the systems, check your danger level.

Question

How can golden Freddy get in your room when he's technically an empty suit? Does he fly?

BDKTheHowDragon

Community Answer

He can probably teleport. And he can just pop up as soon as you close the monitor.

Another way to summon him in Custom Nights, is to do 1983 which is where Fredbear's Family Diner took place.
