If you're expecting a typical April Fools' game update filled with jokes and lighthearted pranks, think again. The developers of Pressure have thrown a curveball with a new game mode inspired by Five Nights at Freddy’s, aptly named Three Nights at the Blacksite. This mode is anything but funny, offering a tense and thrilling challenge. Here's your comprehensive guide to surviving all three nights.
How to Survive in Three Nights at the Blacksite Pressure
If you're familiar with Five Nights at Freddy’s, the gameplay mechanics will feel right at home. For Pressure veterans, you'll recognize the monsters and know how to combat them. Below is a detailed guide to help you survive each night.
First Night Walkthrough
You start in a camera control room, with surveillance footage in front of you and two doors behind you. Remember, closing the doors depletes your power, and once it's gone, it's game over. Your only defenses against the monsters are flashing them or closing the doors, both of which require power.
Your main task is to monitor the cameras, especially the top one, where Sebastian should remain. If he leaves, he'll reach you quickly and end your game. Regularly check the cameras for anomalies and occasionally turn around to monitor the doors. Sounds are clearer when not in camera mode, helping you anticipate threats.
When the lights flicker around 2 AM, close the doors to fend off Angler, who charges down the hall. You'll also encounter pop-ups from Painter on the camera screen, which you can ignore.
Turn around every 10 seconds or whenever you hear strange noises. Continuously browse the camera footage, flashing whenever you suspect Sebastian's presence. If he's not on the top camera, quickly check cameras 1 and 2 to prevent his advance. Following these tips will help you reach 6 AM and complete the first night.
Second Night Walkthrough
The second night starts quietly, but continue checking the cameras and flash at any unusual sightings. Around 2 AM, turn around and close the doors to protect against Angler's attack.
The camera footage becomes dimmer, making it harder to see. Cycle through all cameras frequently, focusing on those marked 1 and 2. Don't forget to periodically check behind you.
A new monster, Crooked, appears tonight. Defend against him by closing the doors when you see him standing there. Pay more attention to the cameras, as static increases and pop-ups become more frequent.
As the shift nears its end at 5 AM, prepare for two Angler attacks, one on each side. The final hour is the most challenging, so stay vigilant and avoid distractions.
Third Night Walkthrough
The third night ramps up the difficulty. Sebastian escapes the top camera almost immediately, followed by an Angler attack 30 seconds later. Focus on checking cameras and turning around more frequently.
After the first Angler attack, keep the door closed longer before reopening. The monsters are faster and more aggressive, making reactions tougher. Expect four Angler attacks tonight, with the first two around 2 AM.
After 3 AM, keep your doors closed more often, but monitor your power levels closely. The final two hours, 4 AM to 5 AM, are the most challenging, requiring you to balance flashing Sebastian and conserving power. Prioritize saving power, even if it means not flashing Sebastian when he's at camera A1, B1, or C1.
If you fail on the third night (or the second), you can restart from the beginning of that night. Successfully surviving all three nights completes the event and earns you the Connection Terminated badge.
