What exactly happened in Five Night's at Freddy's part 2 - Answering those all important Questions

Answering those all Important Five Nights at Freddy’s Questions

 

Today’s the day I attempt to solve Five Night’s at Freddy’s. If you haven’t read the first part of this theory, I recommend you do, while not 100% necessary it will give more context to what I’m saying here (Here’s the link http://thecoolstuffblog12.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/what-exactly-happened-in-five-nights-at.html ). I’ve scoured everywhere from YouTube to Reddit to my highly impressive brain and these are my findings.

 

Firstly, who are shadow Freddy and shadow Bonnie? They seem really important but not in an obviously apparent way.To cut to the chase I think they are the phantom versions of Freddy and Bonnie and here’s why. Firstly, a phantom for Bonnie and Freddy are noticeably missing from FNAF 3 and while there is a phantom Freddy, after looking at its design closer I am convinced that it is actually a phantom of Golden Freddy. From the shape of the head, its golden tinge, the missing ear and even the slight tilt of the head there are too many similarities to ignore. Some people believe the Freddy that appears to the left of your office occasionally is Golden Freddy however due to its colouration it is more likely shadow Freddy.

 

It is my belief that both the phantom and shadow animatronics are apparitions created by the puppet. Don’t forget that the puppet doesn’t just want to kill the purple guy, this is a tormented child’s soul looking for vengeance. He attacks both Jeremy and Fritz in FNAF 2 and is in control of the animatronics that attack Mike in FNAF 1. It therefore makes sense that the phantom animatronics in FNAF 3 contribute to the player character, a night guard’s death as for years the puppet has been on a crusade to save the children from what he thinks as a child are evil night guards. Think about the behaviour of the shadow animatronics, in FNAF 2 both of them randomly appear and crash your game, which likely mean they kill you, a night guard. In FNAF 3 shadow Bonnie takes cake to a child to free his soul and shadow Freddy leads the animatronics to be dismantled, ultimately leading to the children’s souls being released. They’re helping children, just like the puppet would.

 

The only issue with this idea is the withered look of the phantoms in comparison to the clean looking state of the shadow animatronics. Here’s the thing though, the phantom animatronics were created by the puppet at a point where he intended to burn down the building, they’re apparitions of the future state of the animatronics we see in the box of spare parts looking completely fine in the office. The shadow animatronics meanwhile we created years before this plan of burning the building, long before the animatronics were scattered and dismantled. It should also be noted that aside from the withered nature of the phantoms the shadow animatronics and phantoms do share many features including the distinctive white eyes and ghostly appearance making many believe they are simply hallucinations, however I think prove they are creations of the puppet's doing.

Another difficult to place animatronic is Golden Freddy. It’s pretty much accepted that the fifth child was stuffed into the Golden Freddy suit however I don’t believe this is the case, at least not exactly. When we hear of an unfortunate incident involving multiple spring lock failures in a spring lock suit I think this was only the Golden Freddy suit that went wrong. The killer seems to have used the Spring Bonnie suit safely on multiple occasions and it only kills him when there’s rain on the ground to loosen the locks. The Golden Freddy spring suit however I think was the one involved in the incident all the way back in the original pizzeria location killing an innocent employee. The killer took the Spring Bonnie suit knowing it was okay to use and the Golden Freddy suit was hidden away. The Golden Freddy we see is an apparition, created by the Puppet. This is the ghost of the fifth murdered child in the form of the ghostly Golden Freddy. This explains his strange behaviours throughout the games, from his ghostly attacks and his disappearing when you touch him in the Save Them mini game as well as the lone endoskeleton that can be found in FNAF 1 and 2, it used to belong to Golden Freddy who is now out of commission and hidden away somewhere for good.

 

Golden Freddy is the lost soul of the fifth murdered child but unlike the others he’s not haunting an animatronic that is still in use, rather taking the form of a decommissioned and dangerous spring lock suit after being formed by the Puppet. Remember in the Give Life mini game in FNAF 2 we don’t see the puppet stuff this final child into a suit like the other 4, rather Golden Freddy’s head comes at you from the dead child, showing us how the Puppet bought this terrifying golden bear, this ghost to life.

 

The bite of 87 is a huge incident in the timeline and yet we have had very little revealed over the three games. It is scarcely mentioned however I think the key to figuring out what happens is in FNAF2. The likely victim of the bite is Jeremy Fitzgerald as at the end of night 6 he is moved to day shift with the restaurant being shut the next day with no more night shifts after this day shift in which Jeremy was guarding over due to the now obviously apparent danger. Jeremy being the victim would also explain the November date on his pay check despite being welcomed to his new summer job on night 1, he was in hospital in critical condition and thus didn’t receive his pay check until months later. This also shows us the phone calls from FNAF 2 are likely recorded the day Jeremy receives them. Before the new FNAF 4 teaser images I would’ve said the biter is almost certainly Mangle due to its larger jaw, sharper teeth and jump scare where it attacks the top of the head. However the FNAF 4 teasers do seem to be hinting at the nightmare animatronics having a role to play in this strange incident.

 

So that’s one more question answered leaving only one. The big one. The identity of the purple man. I’ll start by addressing the elephant in the room, phone guy. Many believe the phone guy is the culprit and honestly a lot of evidence does point at him HOWEVER I have the proof of this guy’s innocence in the murders and it comes from the FNAF 3 mini games where purple man dismantled the animatronics and then is crushed by the spring Bonnie suit. FNAF 3 has both good and bad endings that I’ve already mentioned. Since neither has been declared canon the events of the timeline must take place in a way for both to be possible. This means the FNAF 3 minigames must take place AFTER the events of FNAF 1? Why? Firstly we see the animatronics who are not withered being dismantled. In FNAF 1 the animatronics are in full working order and are not damaged, showing us that these events need to have taken place after FNAF 1. Also the building we see is in disrepair, there are leaks in the ceiling and rats on the floor. However the animatronics have already been moved there, showing us this is after the building was repaired and re-opened. The buildings damaged state shows us this is after the building was abandoned and after the restaurant shut down, therefore this must have taken place after the FNAF 1 building was abandoned and therefore phone guy cannot be the killer as we know he was killed by the animatronics before the events of FNAF 1, while purple guy dies in these mini games after FNAF 1.

 

The difficult thing is that the purple guy may be someone we’ve never met. However if it is someone we’ve met in the games the most evidence points towards none other than FNAF 2’s custom night guard, Fritz Smith. I have evidence and I hope you'll be convinced. Firstly the murderer must have been present in FNAF 2, the Phone Guy mentions the building is on lock down, especially to former employees. The next clue comes from Fritz’s pink slip after he’s fired. It says he is employee number 3. Who are the previous 2 employee’s? We know there’s a day shift worker and many would assume Jeremy Fitzgerald is the other. However we know Phone Guy was an employee of this location as he must have worked there to record his messages. This means that FNAF 2’s custom night takes place before the other 6 nights. I think that Fritz Smith takes the night shift of the night after the now day worker quit due to 'conditions' as phone guy puts it.

 

We also know Fritz can tamper with animatronics due to the reasons he is fired. This would explain the strange item in his purple guy’s hand in the save them mini game as well as disabling Freddy and being capable of dismantling the animatronics in FNAF 3. This could also explain the aggression from the toy animatronics who remember are not possessed by dead children, he tampered with their facial recognition software so they would react to any adult (They attack Jeremy Fitzgerald in night 1 and presumably the day shift worker), not just him. Remember he was arrested as a suspect for the first missing children incident and would thus be on a criminal database like the one the toy animatronics are linked too. Him working in the FNAF 2 location would also explain the badge on purple guys chest in the Save Them mini game that takes place in the FNA 2 location and also explain the badges absence in the FNAF 3 mini games that take place long after FNAF 2 where he was fired.

 

An important thing to note is Phone Guy talk of rumours of the company as early as night 1 in FNAF 2, he doesn’t ever say he’s just talking of the old location. Therefore the murders could easily have taken place before Jeremy’s first night. So why isn’t the killer the day shift worker? Because he’s dead. Phone guy says this day shift worker complained about conditions and animatronics tried to get into his office and then later talks about the amazing solution of the Freddy head. See where I’m going with this, this worker didn’t have a Freddy head. This is why Jeremy and Fritz were both given one, to avoid them being killed. This so called day shift worker was likely killed by one of the old animatronics as this was before purple guy tampered with their facial recognition software. This company isn’t exactly concerned about  the morale issues of covering things up, this guard’s death is just another example and while he probably didn’t enjoy his savage death this does suggest he is not the killer.

 

After all that there is still one huge flaw to my theory. The killer must have worked in one of the previous locations that used the spring suits and the safe rooms and more importantly listened to the Phone Guy’s recording explaining how they work, with the safe rooms being invisible to cameras and animatronics and how to use the spring lock suits as we know the killer used a yellow spring suit. The Phone Guy also mentioned in his FNAF 2 night 6 phone call that the building is on lock down, especially concerning previous employees. However I do have something that could strongly suggest Fritz Smith fits this criteria.

 

What is the one key difference between Jeremy Fitzgerald’s and Fritz Smith’s nights? Fritz Smith does not receive a phone call at the beginning of the night. In his first night working as a night guard Fritz receives no phone call, no training tape, no nothing. Something doesn’t quite add up unless Fritz has already received night guard training from working in a previous Freddy Fazbear Pizza location. The reason he doesn’t receive a training phone call is because he’s already known to the company and to Phone Guy for working in a previous location and listening to Phone Guy’s original recordings, the ones that explain both the safe rooms and the spring lock suits. Does this seem like a bit of a stretch? This would certainly explain where Fritz learnt how to tamper with animatronics as well as learn the skills to survive a night at the FNAF 2 location, a location with more animatronics than any other. It would also explain how the company managed to draft him in at such short notice, he was already known to them from working in a previous location. After the custom night Fritz Smith is fired and the first time we see purple guy after this event in the timeline is in the FNAF 3 mini games where the gold badge on purple guy’s chest is mysteriously gone. Coincidence? I doubt it.

 

 Fritz Smith is the purple guy, the evil man who took the lives of 11 innocent children, but eventually he was stopped by his first victim which brings us back to the very first mystery from FNAF 1 that had us all scratching our heads. The Puppet did everything he could to save the children, he bought them back to life and in the happiest day mini game he freed their souls for good. Finally he tried to stop anyone in that hated security guard uniform and stop the purple guy, Fritz Smith for good. He is truly behind it all and yet we still see him in FNAF 3 in the hallway making him the saddest case of all because his soul still hasn’t been freed even after all these years. He’s still here and maybe always will be finally giving us closure on the phrase, ‘It’s me’.

 

So that’s that … until October. If however you’re sitting there thinking about some huge flaw in my theory then I’d love to hear where I may have gone wrong. I am confident in my conclusions but equally would like to hear what everyone else thinks, it is all speculation after all so please let me know and if you enjoyed this like the Facebook page.
