Night Null

Were you perhaps looking for a shadow animatronic? see Shadow (Disambiguation).

Night Null is a secret playable night in Five Nights at Candy's Remastered. It introduces the exclusive secret character, Shadow Candy.

To access this night, the player must first go to the Extras, and then go to the The Rat in the Animatronics tab and zoom in his face. They then need to stay on The Rat's tab, and wait. After a few seconds, a hidden screen will appear, with The Rat twitching. 7 random numbers ranging from 0 to 20 will appear, and then it will show "CAM-13" in the middle of the screen before booting back out into the Extras. The numbers won't change for the player. Upon doing the steps over again the exact same cutscene will play.

After this is done, the player needs to go to the Custom Night, and enter the 7 digits into their respective characters. The player then needs to start the night, and then turn Night Vision on and look at Camera 01. Shadow Candy will be seen on the camera, and upon dropping the Monitor, Shadow Candy will jumpscare the player before heading into Night Null.

Gameplay[]

The night plays out very differently than every other night. Shadow Candy will constantly try to teleport into the office, and the player will need to find him on the cameras with or without night vision to make him fade out from the camera and go back to Camera 13, or in case that the player can't find him in certain amount of time, then they will need shut the doors to keep him out, however, Shadow Candy will knock on the doors and drain power from the player, making the former option to conserve power. Failure to get him out results in him jumpscaring the player. However, instead of ending the night, the time is set back by 1 hour, frozen, and power is decreased by a certain amount (ranging from 2% to 8%). Camera 13 is also visible on this night. Beating the night unlocks Camera 13 for all the other nights.

Origami Cat is also visible on the desk, and can even be wobbled just like Five Nights at Candy's 3. He will appear at the start of the night, but if Shadow Candy attacks the player, Origami Cat will disappear. To get Origami Cat again, he will appear in one of the cameras. Click on the Origami Cat, and it will appear on the desk. Finding Origami Cat causes you to gain the power and time lost from Shadow Candy's jumpscare, and unfreeze time. If the power runs out, Shadow Candy will instantly attack the player before going to a more glitchy Game Over screen and sends the player back into the custom night menu.

Strategy[]

This night is extremely difficult, and even very skilled players need various attempts to beat it. The best strategy is to search for Shadow Candy on the cameras. Click on a camera with Night Vision off, then toggle on Night Vision, switch to another camera, and repeat. If he is found on a camera, stare at him until he disappears. However, if Shadow Candy is found on Camera 04, Camera 05 or Camera 06, the player should close the respective door to prevent an attack. However, having to shut the door on Shadow Candy isn't preferable, as it can drain a lot of power when he bangs on the door. He can also be extremely quick and can end up at the office immediately, so sometimes the player must check the doors and window if they don't find him on the cameras. In this case, however, the player only has a few seconds to react.

While it is not necessary, to optimize the chances of winning, these milestones of power should be reached:

90-85% at 1 AM
70-60% at 2 AM
50-45% at 3 AM
36-27% at 4 AM
20-10% at 5 AM
5-0% at 6 AM

Aftermath[]

Upon beating the night, the player is treated to a cutscene where the camera pans up a new variant of Candy the Cat as a tape player talks about how the person recording the tape may be going crazy and that they will not stop until he is perfect. Forgotten Candy's eyes then brighten up. This appears to be a teaser for Five Nights at Candy's 4. When replaying any night, a poster for this new version of Candy can be seen in the now-unlocked CAM 13.
