How to get three-star ending in FNAF Into the Pit

As a seasoned Fazbear enthusiast who’s spent countless nights within the confines of these animatronic-filled establishments, I can confidently say that obtaining the three-star ending in FNAF: Into the Pit is no walk in the park. The Dad Items, scattered haphazardly around Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, serve as a poignant reminder of the tragic tale unfolding within these walls.


In the game Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit, achieving the most challenging conclusion is the three-star ending, or the “true ending”. Here’s a simple guide on how to unlock the three-star ending in FNAF Into the Pit.

Three-star Ending Guide – FNAF Into the Pit

How to get three-star ending in FNAF Into the Pit

To achieve the three-star or “true” ending in Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit, you’ll have to manage several items and tasks throughout your gameplay. This is crucial if you want to unlock that particular ending.

In contrast to earlier installments of the Five Nights at Freddy’s series where players had to conquer the hardest mode to unveil the true endings, fortunately, that isn’t a prerequisite for FNAF Into the Pit. You can finish this game on the easiest difficulty and still obtain the ‘Family Fun Night’ achievement without any hassle.

To earn the “Well done, champ!” achievement, aim for the three-star rating on Nightmare mode. Make sure to properly gear up before attempting this level of difficulty.

Our guide concentrates on gathering every essential prerequisite at the ‘Creepy’ level, a suggestion for completing this task before attempting it at the ‘Nightmare’ level.

Repair and play all Arcade games at Jeff’s Pizza

In essence, the main challenge for the three-star ending in FNAF Into the Pit lies in fixing and operating the entire Arcade located within Jeff’s Pizza. Upon entering this area, you’ll quickly realize that all the arcade machines, including the Ticket Counter and Prize Machine, are damaged. Yet, with the right components (which can be found spread across different parts of the game), these broken items can be mended.

Below is a list of every Arcade Part, what machine they fix, and where they can be found:

  • Puzzle Matrix/Solve the Puzzle – Found at the Mill (Night 1)
  • Space Age Speakers/Fast Food Invader – Inside the Arcade Room of the Pizzeria (Night 1; Jeff’s)
  • Power Supply/Deliver the Pizza – Found in the Pizzeria, in the hallway adjacent to the Kitchen. The part will be in a trashcan underneath the Paper pals hanging on the wall. (Night 1; Jeff’s)
  • Electron Gun/Shoot the Space Balloons – In the room next to the Arcade in the Pizzeria. (Night 1; Jeff’s)
  • Control Panel/Collect the Hats – In the Pizzeria, on the table in the Hallway. (Night 1; Jeff’s)
  • Wooden Balls/Pizzaroller – Inside the Ball Pit room. (Night 2 or 3; Freddy Fazbear’s)
  • Token Slot/Rescue the Children – Inside the Basement room of the Pizzeria. (Night 1; Freddy Fazbear’s)
  • Heftin’ With Helpules/Weight Resistance Mechanism – Inside the Basement of Oswald’s House. (Day 2)
  • Prize Machine – Wedged between desks inside the classroom at the School. (Day 2)
  • Ticket Counter – Sitting on the floor to the left of Pirate’s Cove. (Night 3; Freddy Fazbear’s)

After fixing all the arcade machines to perfection, Jeff will come up to you in the Arcade with astonishment. Pondering over the remarkable job done, he wonders if he should strive for more improvements at the pizzeria. In appreciation, he hands you a Discount Coupon worth 75 cents off a pizza slice, which gets added to your Sketchbook automatically.

After that, don’t forget to give each game in the Arcade a spin at least once. Although some games are designed to continue indefinitely, it’s essential to finish the following games to reach their endings:

  • Collect the Hats (the secret sixth hat is required for completion)
  • Save the Children (save all children on the map and make it to the exit without getting caught)
  • Freddy Title Puzzle (some players claim you can start this one and not finish it, but we recommend finishing it to be safe)

Complete all three Fazbear Frights mini-games

To add those delightful stickers of Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica to your sketchbook, you should accumulate the necessary prize vouchers from the arcade games. Specifically, you need three vouchers (each worth 20 tickets), which will enable you to draw one from the prize machine. After obtaining all three stickers, grab an additional voucher and head back to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza with it!

Upon arrival, don’t forget to redeem the voucher at the Prize Machine, preferably prior to Night 4 as the machine may get knocked over and become inoperable. This action will instantly initiate the “Fetch” mini-game. To progress, make sure you accomplish the set objective for it.

As a fan, I’d suggest starting your adventure at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, specifically in the Dining Area, where you can find the Candy Machine. Interact with it a minimum of 100 times to unlock the “Count the Ways” mini-game. It’s best to do this during your initial visit on Day 1 when the place is bustling with kids. This way, you can focus on the game without any potential animatronic threats interrupting your fun!

To play the mini-game titled “To Be Beautiful”, here are the steps:

Find and inspect all Dad Items in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza

To achieve the three-star conclusion in FNAF: Into the Pit, you need to gather several essential items, including what are known as “Dad Items” or belongings of Oswald’s Father. These items appear throughout Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza and were likely dropped by Spring Bonnie while Oswald’s Dad was being pulled through the establishment.

On distinct evenings, these five elements can be located in various spots, so make sure to take your time while playing and not miss any of them. Here’s what you should look for:

  • Dad’s Wallet – Found on the floor in the Backstage area of the Pizzeria (Night 1)
  • Photo of Oswald – On the floor next to Golden Freddy suit in Storage Room (Night 2 or 3)
  • Family Vacation Photo – In the Kitchen area on the floor next to the oven. (Night 3)
  • Dad’s Name Tag – Bottom right side of the Golden Freddy/Storage room, on a table. (Night 4)
  • Dad’s Wedding Ring – On the floor next to the young girl hiding in the Security room. (Night 4)

After gathering everything, don’t forget to check out each item in your Inventory prior to rescuing Dad during Night 5. For every item you inspect, a short cartoon scene will appear to show it’s been completed.

Obtain the Secret Photo in the Party Room (Night 5)

The last key item you need to collect for the three-star ending is the Secret Photo. This is found inside the Party Room ONLY during Night 5 after you’re able to access it with the Party Room Keycard. The keycard itself is found inside the pile of animatronic parts in the Backstage area at Freddy Fazbear’s. To get there on Night 5 (Freddy and Bonnie are blocking the stage), you’ll need to take the vent that’s right next to the Party Room and the table with the broken soft serve machine.

As I step into the Party Room, I approach the girl with brown hair at the rear. Once she departs, I carefully grab the mysterious photograph nestled near the vent. This peculiar photo is vital as it leads me to a hidden location where Dad is being detained. Later, during my climactic showdown against Spring Bonnie, this item grants Oswald precious moments to escape back to Jeff’s with his father.

Do not skip the credits after Night 5

Even though there’s debate about whether a bug exists or not, some gamers have mentioned they missed certain achievements tied to game conclusions because they skipped the ending credits. To play it safe, refrain from skipping the credits since bonus images of Oswald and his parents occasionally appear during this time. These images might contribute to the “memories” triggered by Dad’s misplaced items, as shown above.
