How to Survive in Three Nights at the Blacksite Pressure

If you're already familiar with Five Nights at Freddy's, you'll quickly grasp the gameplay mechanics. For those accustomed to Pressure, you'll recognize the monsters and how to deal with them. Below is a detailed walkthrough to help you survive each night.

First Night Walkthrough

You begin in a camera control room, monitoring surveillance footage. Behind you are two doors that you can open and close, but be cautious—closing them depletes your power, and running out means game over. Your only defenses against the monsters are flashing them or closing the doors, both of which require power.

Throughout all three nights, your primary task is to monitor the cameras, particularly the top one. Sebastian should always be visible there; if he disappears, he'll reach you quickly and end your game. Regularly check the cameras for any unusual activity and turn around to check the doors periodically. Sounds are more pronounced outside of camera mode, helping you anticipate threats.

When the lights start flickering around 2 AM on the first night, turn around and close the doors to protect yourself from Angler, who will soon charge down the hall. You'll also encounter your first pop-ups from Painter on the camera screen; these can be closed and ignored as they're meant to distract you.

A good strategy is to turn around every 10 seconds or when you hear any unusual noise. Continue monitoring the camera footage and flash whenever you suspect Sebastian's presence. If he's not at the top camera, quickly check cameras 1 and 2 to prevent him from advancing too far. Following these tips will help you make it to 6 AM and complete the first night.

Second Night Walkthrough

By 1 AM on the second night, you won't encounter any monsters immediately. Keep checking the cameras and flash if anything seems off. If you hear strange sounds, turn around and close the doors; the first Angler attack occurs at 2 AM, similar to the first night.

The camera footage will become noticeably dimmer around this time, making it harder to see. Cycle through all the cameras frequently, focusing on those marked 1 and 2, and don't forget to turn around to check your surroundings.

A new monster, Crooked, appears on this night. You'll need to spot him standing at your doors and close them briefly to keep him at bay. Be more vigilant with the cameras as static increases and pop-ups become more frequent; close them as quickly as possible.

Just before the shift ends at 5 AM, you'll face two Angler attacks, one on each side. The final hour requires the most attention throughout your playthrough. Stay focused and avoid distractions.

Third Night Walkthrough

The third night is significantly more challenging. Sebastian escapes the top camera mere seconds after your shift starts, followed by an Angler attack 30 seconds later. Forget the strategies from the previous nights; focus solely on checking the cameras and turning around.

When the first Angler attack occurs, keep the door closed for a while before opening it again. The monsters are now stronger and faster, making reactions more difficult on your first playthrough. Expect four Angler attacks this night, with the first two door attacks happening around 3 AM.

From 4 AM to 5 AM, the challenge peaks. You'll need to keep your doors closed more often while managing your power levels. Balance flashing Sebastian with conserving power, and consider not flashing him if he's at cameras A1, B1, or C1 to save energy.

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 you'll earn the Connection Terminated badge for your efforts.
