Sister location has the scariest ending just imagine getting your organs ripped out and having a sharp wire amalgamation treat you like a suit until you rot

I personally love the twist in the normal ending where she says “Circus Baby has already been here today” revealing that she’s Ennard

I like how Ennard uses Elisabeth’s voice to get Michael to let Ennard in. The phrases “I don’t understand” and “I know it was an accident” is most likely used in the way that it is because Ennard don’t realize that the guard isn’t William.

The music for the 5th night is called "Watch Your Six", which is a good way of saying to watch the clock. Although it also has a second meaning, which is a term used in military - watch your back. You turn around, just like Baby would expect, but not exactly - she didn't expect it to go wrong. Now you're the one turning your back.

"It seems that you have accidentally wandered into a restricted area. Due to the sensitive nature of the materials that you may be exposed to here, you will not be allowed to leave until the clean-up crew arrives at 6 AM, so hang tight. Rest assured that you will be promptly rescued, fired, then sent home. Thank you for being an employee. We hope that your experience has not been as regrettable as ours."

For me this is like scott saying: You have the cameras, you have the doors, you know what to do. And that is so damn epic.

I always found Ennard’s mask interesting, it’s weird that Ennard only wore it for a single night before wearing Michael’s skin, I personally think that since the mask is obviously modelled after a clown, they felt that wearing it gave them the feeling of being more human which really shows how much they want to escape and makes their eventual melding into the hivemind that is The Blob all the more tragic

What makes this even more sad is that Baby thought Michael was William and Elizabeths soul was probably mad at her father for creating Baby after realizing the truth. But after discovering it was actually Michael, she might have felt guilty. Michael even states that they thought he was his father. Thats probably why after ennard escaped into the sewers, Baby kept repeating "you wont die." Not only knowing that Michael wouldn't die because of the Remnant, but because she might have still wanted him to live. In Pizzeria Simulator, however, Elizabeth changed and became more twisted and wanted to take on the role that Circus Baby was created for. She was so mentally and emotionally broken, they all were. Michael was just trying to be a good brother and save at least one of his siblings, since he failed his brother.

I always found it excruciatingly evil and tragic that Baby uses Michael's sisters voice to try and manipulate him to open the door. Imagine hearing your long dead sister's voice, begging you to open the door so she can see you, but her voice is coming from a horrifying tangled misshapen monster with a blank expression crawling through the vent systems. That truly is the most chilling and terrifying thing in FNaF. Not to mention evil on Baby's part

You probably already knew this, but Ennard’s “face” is hanging over one of the doors earlier in the game, but as soon as Ennard is formed the mask is missing!

I never gave that secret ending a try, I only did the regular ending and was done with it, might give it a proper try someday

The only bad thing about this night is that if I remember correctly, every time you die you respawn before sending Baby to the scooping room which is very frustating and time consuming for no reason. Still, I think Scott should have make this the true ending, it's just more climatic and interesting

I practically only got the game for how great the 5th night and custom stuff was. The ennard fight has solid gameplay and the theme always gives me chills

I forgot how good this night actually was, the music, the atmosphere, ennard in general and the lore, the fact that baby is so desperate to literally use you as a skin suit is terrifying, I absolutely love the voice lines baby has on this night, it really shows how manipulative she is, showing her true intentions. She's seriously just creepy but I love it, this has to be one of the most well crafted nights in the entire Fnaf series and I hadn't realised that until you made this video.

"When Sister Location was first released in 2016" feels like it came out just a couple years ago, how time flies.

In my opinion, Sister Location is the most unsettling entry in the series. The sudden futuristic tech, the somewhat sentient animatronics, the vibe of the rental facility, it all just feels like you're trapped in a dark, industrial cavern. Even the actual ending is so creepy and disturbing and could be seen as a twist on the whole getting stuffed into a suit idea. I am rather curious of your opinions on Security Breach as I feel like it could've taken some notes from Sister Location and really play up the horror of sentient robots.

Interesting how ennard, a being made up of other beings, has a boss fight made up of other games.

Ennard has always been one of the scariest animatronics for me. I feel like a major factor of what makes it so scary is the sound design. The squeaking of metal as it moves paired with Baby/Elizabeth voices just seems so unnatural. The metallic squeaking noises specifically just give off the vibe of 'NOTHING should be making that sound, mechanical or otherwise' A point that was brought up that I heard before was that Ennard is somewhat akin to a mechanical Skinwalker, the way it uses its voice mimicry to try and lure/kill people, so it can then disguise as them And the phrase "Circus Baby has already been here [the scooping room] today." REALLY conveys the feeling of 'Ennard isn't Circus Baby anymore... at least not entirely.'

the reveal that you were michael afton all along during this night not only recontextualized your motivations during this game, but the entire FRANCHISE up to that point. one of the biggest story complaints you’d always hear back in the day was that it made no sense for the player character to come back to the facilities in 1-3 after seeing their first animatronic move at night. after SL, we know that he knew exactly what he was getting into, and its just a fabulous way to resolve a plothole like that. this one night was a GAME CHANGER for the whole series.

9:47 It also works in another way. First she talks about HER. Bribing you by acting like she is still one. And since she helped you so far, she hopes you will let her in. However eventually she says WE. Not only ditching the old facade by revealing she is multiple, but also appealing to your sence of the greater good. Like if you help them escape, you help the world. And she keeps appealing to your sence of the greater good too. Hoping that if you feel bad enough about screwing only her over, what about screwing ALL of them over? And she keeps explaining that they only have one shot at what they are planning. If they fail, they die. So if you dont offer yourself to them, they will be killed. So help them... help the greater good. It also fits baby. She schemes and manipulates all the time. Thats what she was built for. So asaulting you both phisically and mentally she hopes to win.

Personally SL has my absolute favorite atmosphere out of the main 6 games, it gives me a “peaking behind the curtain” vibe, like your in the belly of the beast, the closest of horrors where the abominations you’ve been fighting against came from. The cold, inhuman metallic architecture, the feeling of supposedly empty rooms that you can’t help but feel is holding something that’s watching you, and the surprising incomprehensible size of the facility your trapped in not to mention how uniquely terrifying the Funtime’s were at the time they were the first animatronics (minus Springton) that felt fully sentient, the way they’re 100% aware of who you are and are OUT FOR BLOOD. Just chills all around Honestly it’s a bit of a shame this ending wasn’t canon, it’s wicked as hell

One of my only problems with the night is that after dying to Ennard in the private room, you have to go through the entire section of going through funtime auditorium, listening to baby's speech, and doing the keypad thing which takes like at least 2 minutes. It's not a huge issue, but it makes it annoying to have to deal with that every time you die instead of the game placing you at entering the private room so you can do more attempts in less time.

I like to think that getting caught in the secret room by ennard means that he doesn't kill you outright, but instead drags you to the scooping room to kill you

I love how Ennard says “We will find a way out” when the night ends and then when it gets to the “Michael watching TV” scene for the night, if you look all the way over to the right Ennard is standing there, watching you They really did find a way out

I'm kinda sad you didn't mention the ending of that night after Ennard escapes from the facility and follows you home. Nonetheless I enjoyed watching this video.

SL was my expectation for SB so I was kinda disappointed when it didn’t turn out that way. (because I love SL so much because it’s so different from usual but still shares the same fnaf vibe.) Anyways, fnaf SL is definitely one of my favorite games, and so far your analysis has been very interesting! Okay I’m going to pay attention and watch the rest of the video 👍

The scariest part about this night is that if you die you need to wait 5 minutes to get back to the room

We need to talk about how great the thumbnail art is, I personally love the art style and definitely want to see more

Gameplay: Good loop, and gets harder as it goes on. 5 points Story: Just amazing. 5 points Horror: I love the panic and tension brought into this night, and with how hard it gets, it's perfectly scary. 5 points Music: Sinister, dark, and ever so tense. 5 points Final Verdict: 20/20 points!

SL's 5th nights brutal difficulty is what did it for me, i remember being at 1-2% at 5 am and finally winning after hours of attempts, truly something to behold

Hot take, but because of the 5th night alone (both endings) Sister Location was the scariest fnaf game to me, particularly ennard. When Ennard says “Circus Baby has already been here today” it made my stomach drop the first time hearing it, realizing that it wasn’t baby speaking, and also when she says that you can start to see Ennard on the other side of the glass which makes it even more terrifying. Then in the secret ending where Ennard starts using Elizabeth’s voice to try and manipulate the guard into letting them in, while being this terrifying disfigured amalgamation makes the whole experience even more terrifying knowing what they want to do to you.

I think Sister Location's differences from the previous 4 games was what made it so good. It made it memorable and did really revive the series with a brand new, refreshing way to play the games, and with a touch of that original FNAF gameplay in Night 5 and the Custom Nights.

Sister Location was different for all the good reasons. Voice acting this major made the game so dark and creepier. I loved every moment of it.

Sister Location was literally the location of Michael’s sister! Interesting 🧐

The most stressful part about this 5th night to me is Baby’s lines. It perfectly encapsulates the fear and uncertainty of standing up to a manipulative person, hearing them try to continue manipulating you, then hearing them get more desperate and aggressive as they realize their manipulation no longer works, all the while uncovering the truth of who they really are. It haunts me on such a personal level.

to me the alternative 5th night in sl gave the best "boss fight" vibe in the series,the music,the old mechanics,ennard using baby and elizabeth voice,it was perfect

I feel like Sister Location and Security Breach have A LOT in common, as if SB is the spiritual successor to SL. Gameplay-wise, you don't have five traditional nights but instead each night (or hours in Security Breach) have their own mechanism with a specific character or animatronic being the focus of the section. There is free roam, although SL doesn't really have free roam, it only gives off that illusion since physically you can only move forward inside Funtime Auditorium and Ballora Gallery, but it certainly is an "experiment" in free roam, something SB fully embraced. In both games, the animatronics are eerily human, with the likes of Funtime Freddy or Roxanne Wolf having human emotion, in their voices or behavior. Circus Baby literally talks to you as if she was a human being with her own motives. She literally teaches you a lesson in Night 4, about "pretending" (foreshadowing Ennard) and what the Scooping Room is. Both games have the "classic FNAF" being thrown into the mix, with SL's Private Room (and Custom Night) and the security offices across SB's Pizzaplex with the exact same mechanics as classic FNAF. Both games are also story driven: SL follows Michael trying to find his sister again, and dealing with all the animatronics, and SB follows Gregory, trying to find a way to escape the Pizzaplex and dealing with all the animatronics. And finally both games are the only games that have a previous location in them: SL seems to have all FNAF 4 locations (minigames and actual gameplay) and SB has the FNAF 6 pizzeria underground. In both games those old locations don't seem to have any influence on the game they're in but they play an important role in their respective game's context: William Afton probably monitored the CC's room inside the Private Room, and was probably the mastermind behind most events in FNAF 4 using the Fredbear plushie, and the Mega Pizzaplex was intentionally built on top of the FNAF 6 location, where scraps were probably used for the newer animatronics, since Glitchtrap also comes from the FNAF 6 location and whose personality chip was reused later for the VR game, leading to the game being infected by Glitchtrap, who could then corrupt Jeremy and later Vanessa, turning her into Vanny. Perhaps the remains of Molten Freddy (before turning into the Blob) might have contained chips from the original Funtime Animatronics, who are, as a reminder, quite advanced and nearly "human". Those chips could have been used to create the personality chips that the Glamrocks have. You can say whatever you want about SB. Personally I love the game, and the fact that it's so similar to SL in many ways makes it even better for me. SB is probably a tribute to Sister Location, an entry that unarguably had a big impact on the franchise and changed the face of FNAF forever. I'd argue it's pretty much the "beating heart", the "Pokemon Black and White" of FNAF.

For me SL still feels like the best one in terms of design, mainly Funtime Freddy, also since I'm a fan of AI characters I really liked FT Freddy and Baby having a personality and them being actual characters instead of being silent antagonists.

Love how when you first enter the room you see the cameras, the doors and there is no explanation needed. Its like scott was saying "we all know what you need to do, lets do this"

In the part where Micheal says that “they” had thought it was William, and explains why At 4am Ennard uses Elizabeth’s Voice, and with the “I know it was an accident” could explain why the Funtime animatronics thought he was William Afton, even though this non canon, this really is spine chilling.

Tbh I adore your opinions and I totally agree with this too but my personal opinion my favorite 5th night from any fnaf game has to be 4 but I may be biased for liking fnaf 4 a lot… it’s also really nice to know that u like fnaf 3 just like me too I love it’s atmosphere it’s story it’s animatronics mechanics etc but yeah sorry I went off topic but I love ur vids

Ennard was one of the only times i’ve ever been scared of FNaF when I was younger, with the only other moment being the one phone guy in FNaF 1 talks about stuffing an endoskeletons inside you. Something about all those wires and different consciousness having to be stable and try to stay in the same body to do such a grotesque task & the manipulation you go through the entire game was very scary to me when it released.

as much as I respect all points made in this video, I'm also a sucker for the way "circus baby has already been here today" just makes your stomach drop and your breath catch in your throat

Nice video, one small thing to point out though, You don’t really have a time window to close the door on Ennard. He gets a MO (movement opportunity) every few seconds, which gets shorter by the hour. These are: 12AM - 10 sec 1AM-3AM - 6 sec 4AM - 3 sec 5AM - 2 sec power outage - 0.5 sec So what actually happens is that when Ennard moves and arrives at the door, he has to wait for ANOTHER successful MO (50% of succeeding) to actually kill you. So theoretically he could stand at the door the entire night without ever killing you. Also, depending on how you play, the night isn't THAT tight on power, I've seen some people beat it with around 3-6% left, and I have been able to get a 15% remaining run aswell. The night is just one big gamble, it all depends on how much of a annoyance Ennard wants to be. That’s all I wanted to point out, great video by the way

I never noticed the mechanics from the previous games during the battle, but it makes sense. Though, if there was any Fnaf 3 additions to it, I'd say it would just be Ennard's intelligence. Springtrap was quite literally one of the most intelligent and aggressive animatronics in the series. Though, Springtrap and Ennard are separate beasts. Springtrap is a blood-crazed beast, killing for fun/revenge. Ennard is a beast due to desperation, they kill to survive and to escape, which is similar to Springtrap but the motive for survival (at this point) is different. So, I'd say the FNAF 3 contribution is simply a battle with a beast that constantly takes tactics from Springtrap to attack swiftly and ruthlessly. A "weapon to surpass Metal Gear", in a sense. Edit: perhaps Watch Your Six could be another FNAF 3 addition/reference, giving the battle a creepy and sinister feeling much like the feeling in Fazbear Frights. Regardless, it's a great song to puts the point across of "clench your butt, kid. This'll be a hard duel".

I already know you're going to be one of the biggest FNaF content creators one day. Your content is genuinely great.

13:50one thing of note about this line is that baby says "I will find a way out" Instead of " we will find a way out" which I think implies that she would sacrifice the other animatronics in order for her to escape.

I got to say man, I'm really loving the art on the thumbnails. They're what originally made me watch Why FNAF 3 is the best in the series, and I'm loving all the content on here. Great thumbnail and content, as always.

Ohhh yessss I fully agree with all your points; Sister Location is my fav tbh. That's mostly because of how different all the nights are, how disturbing the story is and maybe because Ennard has become my favourite FNaF character by now. That might be because he's still kind of mysterious since we don'treally know how or why he came to be; afaik that's not established in any game. Fun fact: my 2nd fave is Ballora which might support that haha. It's just such a cool game imo On a different note: in my opinion, one of the most underrated characters is Old Man Consequences. Idk what you think abt him but seeing how he's appeared in multiple games (mainly FNAF World and UCN) and we still don't really know who he is, makes him really interesting

I'd like to imagine all fnaf games that the security guard is just the same person with different names, at first he was an actual security guard bored with life... And then he started working at Freddy's pizza, after that. He or she just absolutely loves the thrill of near death experiences provided by the animatronics, whenever they "die" (in story) they just barely escape and laugh at themselves and instantly looks for another similar job. A little headcanon. I know it has many contradictions and problems to it but it's fun to imagine.

While listening to Baby's dialogues, i also noticed that there is a pattern, kinda. She doesn't understand what went wrong, then she tries to guilt trip us, saying that they need it, she get's angry and starts demanding it later in the night. At 4 am she uses emotional or psychological manipulation and that would be Elizabeth's voice, she tries to convince us that it's Elizabeth while it's not her. Yes, Elizabeth is controlling Baby, but it isn't Elizabeth anymore, it's CIrcus Baby. And this makes it kinda sad ngl.

This video perfectly encapsulates how I feel about the secret Ennard boss fight on Night 5 into words. The actual location of the night (the private security office room itself and the various camera rooms) fits so well with the music playing. Something about its aesthetics I just really love. And the music itself is just soooooo good, it really represents you going up against the fury and desperation of several mishappen robotic abominations possessed by children hunting you down to use you as a human flesh suit super well

to add onto ennards desperation, remember what happens at the end of the secret ending. you go home, watch your show, and as it finishes, ennard starts moving into view from the right. this ESPECIALLY shows how desperate they were bc they literally FOLLOWED YOU TO YOUR HOUSE so they could use you as a disguise whether you survived or not

YES! Sister location is by far one of the best games in the franchise, and the night 5 and custom night really sell that, I'm not gonna write a paragraph but I'll get my point across in one phrase: Watch your 6

you only started to become a frequent poster very recently and you already have an unprecedented amount of growth which is absolutely insane to see. You're brining up talking points and analyzing areas of this series that I wouldn't even have thought to do and it's a very fresh take on most FNaF content you usually see on this site. Although I disagree with the majority of the opinions you bring up in your videos, I do have to acknowledge that you are bringing perspectives I wish I could see more of in this community. Keep at it man, definitely one of the creators with huge potential I've seen in awhile.

Love that I discovered your content I love to see a different perspective on the five nights at freddy's games and an in depth analysis of stuff like this which is kind of ignored I had no idea about the lines of Elizabeth's voice my mind was blown

Aaaa oml I’m glad I found someone who has the same opinions as me on this lmao Ennard is one of my favourite characters from the whole franchise basically just because of this portion of the game. He has such an interesting motivation that sets himself apart from all the other animatronics (who’s motivations can basically be summed up as “spirit angry” ig lol), and the fact that he seems to want it so badly makes him feel more like a character. That’s basically what you said in the video but I just wholeheartedly agree with every point you made. Also I feel obliged to add that Watch Your Six has become my go to song whilst doing homework… I dunno I guess I find it a bit peaceful sounding along with the disturbing feel lol.

This game came out on my birthday it fell like a gift from Scott cawthon it was so cool.

Whenever SL dropped and I watched markiplier play this night, I actually went ahead and got this game and did everything I needed to do to get to this fight and, using Mark's own technique, I beat it first try. I've never touched a custom night or much of the main series prior but this is definitely my favorite and is definitely the biggest reason I stuck around till now.

Imagine your Ennard and your plan to get out of the facility fails. Imagine the absoulte panic you induce knowing that if you fail your plan B its over. No wonder he gets more agressive and constantly beging Michael to open the door.

Thank you for talking about this, "Watch Your Six" is easily the best track of the FNAF series. Plus this entire night is just so damn intense.

I love how scott got with this in the first place, like: "Here are the cameras, doors and a rare killing machine out there, you know what to do"

I also really like Ennard's design and think it's one of the most clever and cool looking enemies in the series.

Pastra: *giving the introduction* Game: "Exotic butters"

I'm planning on experiencing the series for myself and these videos just get me SO HYPE!

Really appreciate your videos, it can give another perspective on stuff that the average player probably didn't think or maybe forgot with the years.

Considering the point of Ennard's character, Baby's "how to pretend" speech when talking about Ballora constantly getting scrapped gives me chills.

The ending was taken seriously too for the ennard night as they said "We will find a way out" Which they did, you just sitting there eating butter when suddenly they just start slowly coming into view, knowing there is nothing you can really do expect wait

I really love when creators decide to make something VERY different from their previous work while incorporating the various things that they like/that worked well in previous entries. Sister Location js an example of taking a big departure from a game franchise and having that risk pay off VERY well! And even though I think SB doesn't work nearly as well as SL with what it changed, I still appreciate both games for trying something so different.

I wish security breach would’ve been a little more like this in terms of gameplay, as long as it still stayed true to the open world gameplay

Your detailed explanation in every video just makes me realise how good the games are AND how good of a content creator you are. Always happy to see another upload.

I honestly don't really like this night, since when you die you need to get back there, and since the sound cues sometimes don't play. In a really night where you're definitely going to be low on power, having the important sound cues sometimes not play is really annoying. Still, I agree that the story and music is really good!

I'm so thankful you are regularly uploading high quality videos! But don't feel pressured to keep this up, don't overwork yourself!

as a sci-fi nerd, i love this games style, and how the animatronics replicate real muscles using micro tubes, eventually becoming a semi tangled mess as ennard, which likely is what also made it noisy when it moved, when normally they are silent except when they talk or play music

You'd think they'd start connecting these doors to the power grid but I guess they got a good deal on batteries

I definitely agree, the private room was so tense. I remember when I completed it, my power went out and I was waiting for that Ennard jumpscare while praying to god that I lasted long enough for it turn 6 AM now. I was lowkey shaking after I got saved by 6 AM. One problem I had though was I died a few times because Ennard sometimes didn’t make a sound when he moved from the end of the hallway to my door, I would just get randomly jumpscared without hearing a sound.

Just finished the video, and I noticed a few of these things like the baby I to We, but it got slowly and more confusing. Really, really good job.

I seriously love your content! You offer a unique perspective and I enjoy your commentary. Keep up the great work!

Very interesting takes, and I liked what you did with these analysis, they sound very cool and made me like this night a lot more. Great job!

Finally nice to see someone recognizing how incredible this moment was, thanks for a great video! I go through all of SL to get to this awesome night

Another banger video, good work! I just defeated Ennard for the first time last night and I can't believe this part of the game isn't talked about more. Thanks for putting into perspective just how good this is with your brilliant writing :)

Your art is amazing

i'm loving this channel so much!! such cool thumbnails, i love fnaf video essays and how thoroughly you talk about everything that goes into the games. can't wait to watch your newest video too :)

The music is so good. I genuinely love listening to an hour long version of it when doing work sometimes.

Keep making these videos, you're doing great!

I'll never forget the chills I got the first time I ever played this. The music, the sense you've messed up, the dialogue from handunit. gahhhhh it was the best

late but I love these essay videos! you sound so passionate about what you talk about and its so cool hearing about your views on things not many people like, especially thoughout the fnaf series, keep them up!

Bro you're channel is popping off really love your vids man not even kidding

I’m so glad your uploading again nice commentary

didn't know it was possible to make such a tense and gripping video about *one single night at freddy's.* my hat is off.

As a veteran of the FNaF community I have to say your video-essay video styles is AMAZING, it's nice to listen to in the background no matter what I'm doing, keep it up!

I love seeing these retrospective videos you do! I hope you do more and see more channel growth! 🎉

Honestly I feel like Watch Your 6 and Nowhere To Run are tied in first place, they just fit the vibe so well.

I have to agree I always thought sister locations 5th night was astonishing and the music that plays is so good.

Yes I love the way you format your videos. Very ecstatic for anything new :)

I cannot express how far you've come so far your doing really well man. YOUR videos have more work then most reviewers put in them and you have very good points you'll grow fast keep it up! 💯

Love your videos can't wait to watch it all

14:33 To add to what you were saying about the music, my favourite track from FNAF Sister Location has to be "Venta Black". Something about it just gives me chills. Love your videos BTW they're so in-depth and well made. I can really see how much you love this franchise. Keep up the amazing work!

I love this so much. Love playing your videos in the background. Can’t wait for more uploads!!!!

I am so glad I found your channel, your videos are so well made for such a small channel!
