hey guys ambience here today i'm going to be showing you how to beat 50 20 mode on ultimate custom knight this is widely considered to be the hardest mode in the entire fnaf series and that assumption is largely correct not counting extra modes such as sl 1020 pre-patch and 50 20 no def coin regular 50 20 is most likely the hardest base max mode in the series this mode is often seen by many as an unattainable achievement but that couldn't be further from the truth i firmly believe that almost anyone can beat 50 20 with the right strategy mindset and amount of practice and that's what i'll be teaching you today the first thing we're going to be talking about is the setup both technically and mentally 50 20 is an extremely hard challenge when you're first going for it and you'll need to be at the top of your game and give yourself as many advantages as you can first uncheck visual effects this will reduce overall lag and distorting effects and make it much easier to focus the next thing to take a look at is the various selectable offices they may appear to be simply cosmetic but each one actually has advantages and disadvantages for example office 1 is fairly bright but has a bad healthy spawn that makes it difficult to click him on the contrary office 3 is the darkest office in the game but has a good healthy position overall office 4 is the best office hands down being both the brightest and having arguably the best helpy spawn so unless you're very used to a different office already i highly recommend going with that one finally let's talk about power ups to be honest these things are overrated mainly because they only last for one run and disappear after however if you are planning to use them i recommend sticking to the three coins and 102 power once the repel is completely useless on 50 20 as it won't stop zore from spawning while frigid doesn't really make a difference in the long run also only use power-ups after you've already thrown quite a few attempts in and gotten a pretty deep run just to get maximum use out of them oh and to be clear you shouldn't attempt this until you've already beaten at least 48.20 already a lot of people like to think they can just go straight into 50 20 and beat it immediately without much practice and you're putting yourself at a massive disadvantage by doing that practice first and beat slightly easier remotes with that out of the way you should be all set to jump in there's just one more thing we've got to talk about and that is mentality you may not think so going in but 50 20 can be an incredibly mentally taxing and exhausting mode especially when played for long sessions ucn essentially becomes a vicious cycle once you get upset where failing makes you angry and those negative emotions only make you play worse really the best advice i can give here is to only play when you feel good and don't hate the game because you eventually will grow to hate it if you spend too long grinding it out if you start getting overly frustrated shut off the game and go do something else for a bit play something different hang out with friends go do another hobby or maybe just lay in bed and unwind for a bit whatever makes you feel better you don't have to beat the mode in one day and should go at your own pace because this is an incredibly difficult challenge that no one expects you to beat in a certain amount of time just keep at it and play when you want to and you will eventually get the hang of it speaking of which don't compare yourself to people who've already beaten 50 20 or how long it took them to do it whether their friends or pros that's just all around pointless instead compare yourself to your last few attempts and just focus on improving you did that you should be good to go just remember it's not a race the time for that has passed and we've already seen the negative effects of pushing it too hard for example just look at daco back in 2018. he pretty much forced himself to play and live up to people's expectations even when he clearly wasn't feeling very good about the game which later led to him resenting it and not wanting to play it again it's not a healthy mindset and is a guaranteed way to implode before you even really start with that in mind we're now ready to start attempts once you're ready go ahead and start up the night during the loading screen hold down 1 and space this will turn on the power gin and turn off the fan as soon as the night begins giving you as much power to work with as possible as soon as the office comes into view move the wet floor sign to the right side of the office quickly as to avoid nightmarion once you've done that flip up the monitor and place an audio alert in the center left of the duct system right here to be precise this part is optional but if you want you can also go into the vent system and place a vent snare on either the left or right left will prevent mangle from reaching you super quickly while the right will give you an extra coin once winter chica gets there quickly switch back to the camp system and go to cam 8 where toy freddy resides around this time bb or jj will be entering the side vent so close it off to counter them and open it back up once you hear a butt click throughout the many cameras on his monitor and block off mr hux if you click on two cameras and don't see him in either just block off the third one without checking it we can determine that he's there using process of elimination at this point you have a choice to make if you want to use a harder strategy to reduce rng stay on cam8 if you don't want to learn it go to cam 7. either way drop the monitor after making your decision once you're back in the office it's time to start coin farming regular coin farming would be flipping through the cameras to collect coins but 50 20 is far too hectic to be doing that instead you'll be forcing bb jj and helpi to spawn repeatedly since getting rid of each of them gives you a coin after each campflip throw on the freddy mask for a second to get rid of golden freddy then look at nightmare bb and flash him if he's standing up don't try to go too fast it'll just get you killed take the time to register if nightmare bb is standing or not deal with him if he is then flip the monitor again as soon as you drop the camera close the side vent until you hear a bud and reopen it then click helpy repeat this until you have 10 coins unfortunately it won't be quite as easy as that since a few minor threats will interrupt you first of all avoid the 13.0 second interval having the monitor open and loaded on this exact time provides a risk of both rockstar bunny and withered bonnie appearing if you do hit this interval immediately get out of the cameras and use the freddy mask if the lights start flickering and wait for withered bonnie to go away if rockstar bonnie is in your office quickly flip between camps one two six and eight and look in the bottom left corner for rockstar bonnie's guitar click it if it's there then go back to cam 7 or 8 whichever one you were on previously speaking of intervals every 14 seconds velora has a chance to appear and so does toy chica if you hear music coming from one of the halls close the door on that side immediately and wait until you hear a bud to reopen it obviously this requires headphones but if you don't have them it's still winnable just close both doors at the same time for toy chica throw on the freddy mask and stare at her until she leaves as soon as she starts backing out of your office you're safe same with toy bonnie who can spawn on every 15 second interval nightmare fredbear and nightmare also have a chance to appear if the monitor is open on 5 second intervals if you ever hear deep laughter shut the door on the side it's coming from you can also see their eyes in the doorways if you look around same deal as ballora open it when you hear a butt lastly there's scrap baby if she ever appears in front of you don't worry just keep an eye on her after every cam flip if she looks up at you shocker with the button on the desk she won't kill you immediately unlike nightmare bb so don't worry about going too fast just check her relatively frequently after a cam flip nightmarian of course is ever present as well try to keep your mouse on the bottom left of the screen whenever possible when you do need to click on something do it quickly and don't linger if he appears wait for him to fade out a bit before clicking what you need to in particular he loves to wait right on top of helpy which can make coin farming rather tricky if he does that i recommend doing another cam flip or two and waiting for him to go away back to intervals l chip has a chance to appear every 10 seconds so be ready to press enter when you get close to an interval speaking of 10 second intervals these are important for another reason as well remember that optional strat i was talking about with toy freddy well if you have to monitor up on cam8 on a 10.0 second interval it'll prevent mr hugs from moving try doing this on at least the first two opportunities and with an early zorro spawn you should be able to get ploy strap risk free with a late spawn you may have to do it at 30 seconds as well but we'll get to that in just a bit next it's time to talk about gmb cycles these are what you'll be using throughout the entire night to keep puppet chica and lefty at bay while still maintaining decent power chica has a chance to leave the kitchen on every 15 second interval if the gmb isn't on which matches up pretty nicely with puppet and lefty your goal will be to run the gmb through two of these movement opportunities then use the power gen and fan to recover while you can for example turn the gmb on at 14 seconds and run it until 31 seconds then use the power gin and fan wait until 44 seconds then use the gmb again and turn the fan off 101 power gen and fan again repeat throughout the night you'll be using the gmb for 16 seconds and the power gen and fan for 14. it'll take a bit to get the hang of but if you've made it through at least 20 already you'll be fine here it's just a bit tougher to focus on as always keep an eye on the time whenever you don't have to focus on anything else and always glance up at it when you can anyway this sounds like a lot to deal with just in the first 20 seconds but don't worry it really does become muscle memory after enough attempts early on you're probably gonna get overwhelmed and always forget something but eventually it'll just become second nature now on to the def coin sequence try and get 10 coins by 20 seconds then prepare to start the sequence tank the first phantom freddy jumpscare about 15 seconds in since no one's in the vent yet then wait until 20 seconds into the night deal with l chip and phone guy if they spawn taking care to avoid nightmarion if he appears over the mute call button try moving around the office to get a better angle on it since it follows you across the screen once you've taken care of both distractions flip up the monitor go to cam 7 if you haven't already and buy the def coin quickly switch to cam 6 def coin fun time foxy and get out of the cameras before 26 seconds to avoid rockstar bonnie if you're slow at doing this especially if you were on cam 8 beforehand you may want to close the side vent to prevent bb or jj from getting it once you're back in the office move the wet floor sign back to the left and deal with ballora afton l-chip toy chica and toy bonnie if any of them appear your next move will depend on when zorro spawned if he appeared at 0 11 the earliest possible time nightmare chica will spawn at about 32 seconds turn on the ac as soon as she's about to appear and she should be repelled immediately after she's gone switch to the power gen and fan as soon as it hits 31 seconds or as soon as toy bonnie starts to leave shut the ford vent and open the monitor here quickly switch between the vent system and cam system to despawn the phantoms then watch plushtrap while spam clicking to reset ventilation button as soon as you see him leave switch the cam to and drop the monitor correctors a response it's largely the same but with some minor strategy changes if zoro spawns at 0 21 plus strap will appear at 0 35. do the same thing but close the left door as you go into the camera since freddy is likely to appear iso responds at 0 31 plus strap will appear at 0 45 around 40 seconds close the left door if you hear a butt to get rid of freddy at 42 seconds deal with ballora if she appears move the wet floor sign if you can and use the heater until 44 then switch to the gmb and get plus strap if xor spawns at 0 41 plus strap will appear at 0 55. this is a similar setup than the previous one but ballora has a chance to spawn at 0 56 meaning you may not be able to see plush straps since she makes the camera static on 60fps plushtrap takes exactly 1.66 seconds to leave so as long as you got there when you spawned you should be good to switch to cam 2 by 057 if zord doesn't appear on any of these first 4 timings reset the knight is not winnable at this point anyway once you get rid of flushtrap reset ventilation switch to cam 2 and make sure the wet 4 sign is on the left the main part of the knight begins first things first if rockstar freddy has activated either pay him or overheat him if you plan on using the heater at 42 seconds for a late zorro spawn that should get rid of him otherwise go ahead and pay him something to note throughout this run is that rockstar freddy can only activate once every 30 second window meaning if you wait to pay or overheat him until the next 30 second interval has passed he won't be able to activate if you do a cam flip within that same time window as such try and wait to deal with him if you're close to the next interval also keep an eye out for afton he can attack every 29 seconds and will only attack once so be ready to react around those times if you see lights flickering and hear a bunch of crashing noises close the side vent in his face when he shows up and that's that also make sure to keep the office below 90 degrees no matter what even if you have to use the fan for a few seconds while the gmb is running don't run the heater for more than a few seconds and pay attention to it when you can jacko chica has a chance to start materializing as soon as you hit 90 degrees if you accidentally go over that cool the office down asap and close both doors for a second to make her go away after about 40 seconds into the night the other animatronics spawned in by zor may start appearing such as bonnet the main arenas and low bit they're all pretty simple to deal with but since they don't have descriptions they might be a little confusing bonnet is the only one of the secret animatronics to appear multiple times throughout the night and be a constant threat but thankfully she's much easier to deal with than his sister location since she's so slow click on her nose and she'll vanish just always be ready to boop the snoot since she can come back the men arenas will appear after your second reset and block your view you'll have to move around the office to get a better view of some things like scrap baby and the foxy figurine just do it quickly to dodge nightmarion and be extra watchful and they'll vanish soon enough for low bit type lol on your keyboard as soon as you see the pop-up for mobile go ahead and tap on it and for console type in a button combo unfortunately it differs from system to system and i'm not much of a console player myself so you'll have to figure out the combo on your own but i'd imagine that it is fairly simple to figure out all that's left is the basic strategy that'll be repeated throughout the night keep doing what you're doing handling the distractions and staying ready for ballora afton the toys etc until the ventilation starts going out when it does you need to do three things before you reset block off freddy with the left door use the heater for about two seconds to repel orville and ned and close the forward vent that last one you'll have to do last and keep it closed the entire time that you're on the monitor to avoid letting mangle win as for the door and heater you can do that pretty far back as long as it's within about 20 seconds of you resetting you should be fine try and use the heater on a power gin cycle even if you have to do it a bit early throwing off the gmb cycles and overheating the office could be really bad try and stall out resetting the ventilation for as long as you can without the screen going completely dark ideally you'll want to do 5 ventilation resets throughout the entire night when you're ready to reset quickly move your mouse to the bottom right of the screen close the forward vent and flip the monitor reset the ventilation and drop it as quickly as you possibly can try and practice resetting the ventilation quicker and quicker until you get comfortable with it staying on the cameras too long opens you up to all kinds of rng threats mainly toy freddy who will be out for the entire night there's nothing you can do about that he can kill on point zero and .5 intervals if the camera is up so you can try and time your flips if you want but i wouldn't worry about it you'll just occasionally get unlucky at this point every major threat has been covered you should already know how to deal with the rest on your own such as old man consequences the only thing left to discuss is foxy otherwise known as the biggest pain in the ass for any high-level ucn player after a cam flip always look at the figurine on your desk if it's bonnie you're good to go but if it's foxy you need to get him off the desk as soon as possible to do this you can either do a regular cam flip which i recommend for mobile and console or if you're on pc you can do a zero frame flip this is a cam flip that only affects foxy and allows you to continue off installing everyone else there are two ways of doing this either mouse over the monitor button twice and rapid succession or hit s then immediately flick your mouse over the button either way get it out of the way quickly again to avoid nightmarion if done properly the figure should be back to bonnie if it's not then try again doing this about six seconds after a cam flip seems to give the best results so try that repeat this throughout the night until you get close to 340. during this power gen cycle use the heater and block freddy off as usual and get ready for the last cam flip as long as your last reset is after 3 41 you'll be good for the rest of the night no need to reset the foxy figure or raise the monitor again just wait it out if you end up doing it a bit early however there is still a way that you can win if omc appears around 422 let him block the monitor if he does this and the ventilation runs out you won't die since the monitor can't be flipped up forcibly or otherwise also turn the power gen on at 4 21 halfway through the cycle since you only need to keep puppet in until 4 30 at which point you'll hit 6 am and win this may seem like complete information overload but trust me break down each part of this strategy bit by bit as you continue playing and it will all make sense eventually keep practicing and remember keep an eye on your mental state if you don't want to play then do not play and wait until you do you'll improve over time and keep building muscle memory and then you just need all the stars to align and get good enough rng to win since the footage has been slowed down throughout the beginning of this run and i've been talking for the rest of it so you probably couldn't hear anything i'm gonna show you the full run at normal speed with no commentary so you can see how i reacted threats in real time and how fast you should move to pull off the setup see you in a few minutes [Music] me [Music] don't get distracted [Music] [Music] ah [Applause] stay cheesy [Music] uh [Music] ah please deposit five coins please deposit five coins please deposit five coins please deposit five coins please thank you for depositing five points [Music] mmm [Music] today's all about me thank you for depositing five coins i'm ready for my close-ups um phew that was hectic huh yeah it looks like a lot but like i said it is only a matter of time before it just becomes second nature one last thing good luck i know you can
