How to Survive in Three Nights at the Blacksite Pressure

If you're familiar with Five Nights at Freddy’s, you'll easily grasp the gameplay mechanics. For those accustomed to Pressure, you'll know which monsters to expect and how to combat them. Below is a comprehensive guide to surviving each night.

First Night Walkthrough

You start in a camera control room with surveillance footage in front of you. Behind you are two doors that can be opened and closed. Remember, closing the doors depletes your power, and running out of power means game over. The only ways to fend off monsters are by flashing them or closing the doors, both of which require power.

Your primary task across all three nights is to monitor the cameras, especially the top one, where Sebastian should remain. If he leaves this camera, he'll reach you quickly and end your game. Regularly check for anomalies and periodically turn around to monitor the doors. Sounds are louder and clearer when not in camera mode, helping you anticipate threats.

When you notice the lights flickering around 2 AM on the first night, turn around and close the doors to brace for Angler, who charges down the hall. Around this time, you'll also encounter your first pop-ups on the camera screen from Painter, which you can safely ignore as they're meant to distract you.

We recommend turning around every 10 seconds or at any unusual noise. Continue browsing through the camera footage and flash if you suspect Sebastian's presence. If he's not at the top camera, quickly check cameras 1 and 2 to prevent his advancement. Following these tips will help you reach 6 AM and complete the first night.

Second Night Walkthrough

Until 1 AM on the second night, you won't face any monsters. Keep checking the cameras and flash if you notice anything odd. If you hear strange noises, turn around and close the doors—the first Angler attack occurs at 2 AM, similar to the first night.

The camera footage becomes noticeably dimmer around this time. With reduced image quality, cycle through all cameras frequently, particularly those marked 1 and 2, and remember to turn around regularly.

A new monster, Crooked, appears tonight. Defend against him by noticing when he's at your doors and closing them briefly. Pay more attention to the cameras as static increases, and close pop-ups quickly as they become more frequent.

Just before the shift ends at 5 AM, you'll face two Angler attacks, one on each side. The final hour of the second night is crucial; stay vigilant and avoid distractions.

Third Night Walkthrough

The third night is significantly harder. Sebastian escapes the top camera almost immediately, followed by an Angler attack just 30 seconds later. Forget previous strategies except for checking cameras and turning around.

After the initial Angler attack, keep the door closed for a while before reopening it. Monsters are now stronger and faster, making quick reactions challenging. Unlike previous nights where the first attack was around 2 AM, you'll face four attacks tonight.

After two door attacks around 3 AM, the night becomes even tougher. Keep doors closed more often, but monitor your power levels closely. The hours between 4 AM and 5 AM are the most challenging; balance flashing Sebastian with conserving power. Save power at all costs, even if it means not flashing Sebastian when he's at cameras A1, B1, or C1.

A helpful note: 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, earning you the Connection Terminated badge.
