FNAF: Eternal Nights Guide: What to set up before you start
About
OverviewFNAF: Eternal Nights is a horror survival game on Roblox set in the world of Five Nights at Freddy's, developed by Cob Studios. You work through five nights — plus harder Nightmare versions of each — while avoiding animatronic characters that will end your run. This guide covers how to progress through the nights, how each animatronic behaves, and what to watch out for before you even load in.

What to set up before you start
CheckThe game contains flashing lights, loud jumpscares, blood, and other disturbing content, so know what you are walking into. If flashing lights affect you, this is a hard stop. Once you have cleared those hurdles, two quick settings make the experience work the way the developers intended.
- Plug in headphones the game asks you to use them for a better experience.
- Turn your microphone on the game uses it as an in-game feature, so leaving it off cuts out part of what you can do.
- Join the Cob Studios group you earn coins just for joining, and you stay up to date when a shutdown means a new update has dropped.

How the nights are structured
Summary
Each completed night is tracked by its own badge, so you always know exactly where you stand. The five standard nights come first, and clearing them unlocks the Nightmare versions of the same nights. Custom Night adds one more layer with a Golden Freddy mode that has its own separate badge. Dying is built into the experience — the game hands out badges for dying once, ten times, and a hundred times, so expect to fail and come back.
- Night 1–5 the main story path, cleared in order.
- Nightmare Night 1–5 harder versions of each night, unlocked after the standard run.
- Custom Night: Golden Freddy mode a standalone challenge on top of the main progression.
- Death badges markers at one, ten, and one hundred deaths that show persistence is expected, not shameful.
The animatronics and how they catch you
Tips
Six animatronics appear across the nights. Each one has a unique way of detecting or approaching you, and the badge descriptions spell out exactly what those hooks are.
- Freddy hides in a dark corner — looking away from that corner is what lets him move, so keep an eye on it.
- Bonnie tracks by hearing, not sight — noise you make matters more than where you are standing.
- Foxy dashes at you — the badge for dying to his dash is its own achievement, meaning he can cover ground very fast and you will not always have time to react.
- The Puppet requires active attention — forgetting about it is how it gets you.
- Golden Freddy appears in Custom Night — his badge description frames his attack as turning you into one of the animatronics.
Coins and the group reward
Tips
The game uses coins as a currency, and the developer-written badge for joining the Cob Studios group specifically mentions earning coins as the reward. Beyond coins, the game page directs bug reports and suggestions through the development team's social media.
- Join the Cob Studios group on Roblox — the badge confirms a coin reward for joining.
- Send bug reports or suggestions through the team's social media — the game page directs feedback there rather than to an in-game form.
- A shutdown signals a new update is live.

Common questions
FAQWhat does a game shutdown mean?
A shutdown means a new update is available. Rejoin after the shutdown and you will be on the latest version.
How does Foxy differ from the other animatronics?
Foxy dashes at you, and the game has a separate badge specifically for dying to his dash.
Is there any reward for dying repeatedly?
Yes — the game awards badges at one death, ten deaths, and one hundred deaths. Dying is treated as part of the learning process, not a reason to give up.
Why does the game ask me to keep my microphone on?
The developers list it as a requirement for using the game's full set of features. Turning it off means some in-game functions will not work as intended.
