Music Man makes a shock look in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic, but he isn’t precisely how we keep in mind him. Taking the type of the carnival’s usher, referred to as Massive Prime, this animatronic could also be stationary, however there’s nothing stopping him from utilizing your physique like a ticket.
Get your ticket prepared and keep on excessive alert, for the Massive Prime’s less-than-friendly exterior will take a good darker flip as quickly because the lights exit. Right here is how one can deal with Massive Prime in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic.
Secret of the Mimic: Massive Prime information

Your brief time within the Massive Prime Showroom is memorable, not just for Massive Prime’s creepy voice, however for the uncertainty of leaving this place alive. Massive Prime is innocent and (suspiciously) pleasant when the lights are on. He switches up if the lights flip off, however this solely occurs should you beat one of many carnival video games within the stalls surrounding Massive Prime. The awkward factor is that you could full a number of video games within the Showroom, but doing so causes an influence outage each time. The lights flip off, and Massive Prime begins behaving otherwise. Massive Prime is now an oscillating safety system (enjoyable!), and alerting him to your whereabouts will get you killed. Fortunately, you get a checkpoint everytime you final accomplished a carnival sport.
Don’t let Massive Prime see or hear you

So what are you presupposed to do when the lights exit? The reply isn’t clear, and also you may need obtained distracted like I did, staring on the quantity on the again of Massive Prime’s mannequins. These numbers aren’t related (…but). As an alternative, keep away from strolling close to the mannequins. A voice line will play should you by accident stumble upon one, alerting Massive Prime to your presence. You can’t use these to distract him both since you can’t disguise rapidly sufficient after brushing previous one (and the toy gun you’re holding doesn’t do something). There are lockers across the perimeter, and your finest wager is to attend in them or the stalls (behind cowl) as Massive Prime’s head rotates previous your route.

Whereas it’s a tad RNG-based, Massive Prime’s head may flip within the route you want, permitting you to stroll to the Overflow machine (Showroom entrance) by following Massive Prime’s head. Mannequins spawn randomly at every checkpoint, so you could take the secure route again to the doorway with out Massive Prime seeing you. The Overflow machine isn’t secure both, because the minute you enter the realm, Massive Prime begins slowly strolling in direction of you. Full the Overflow puzzle as quick as you’ll be able to. The lights will flip again on, and energy is restored (albeit briefly). Massive Prime is seemingly again to regular, however this gained’t final lengthy.
Win a grand prize

You’ll want to full at the very least two video games in a unique stall every time to get a free spin on the stall reverse the doorway (behind Massive Prime). The objective is to get the grand prize on the wheel. We suggest spinning the wheel each time you restore energy, as you may get the grand prize in as few as two spins. We needed to play three video games and spin the wheel all 3 times to win. Getting the grand prize isn’t mounted to a specific variety of spins, however chances are you’ll need to play all of the carnival video games to unlock some achievements. Keep in mind, the lights will exit, and Massive Prime will flip hostile each time you beat a sport. Repeat the steps under till you land on the grand prize so you’ll be able to escape this space:
- Beat one of many carnival video games within the stalls encompassing Massive Prime.
- Quietly return to the Showroom entrance by avoiding the mannequins and utilizing stalls/lockers to cover from Massive Prime.
- Full the Overflow puzzle.
- Spin the wheel.
Attain the roof

After profitable the grand prize, Arnold enters the higher stage of the Showroom, however Massive Prime is fed up with being an usher and quits there after which. You now want to take a look at the Massive Prime Showroom flooring and seek advice from the numbers on the again of the mannequins, akin to the hat they’re sporting, based mostly on the board with headwear symbols on it. The code is randomized and based mostly solely on which hats seem for you. Don’t neglect to open the presents on this stage and take the Trophy and Fredbear Pizza Maker collectibles earlier than you allow.

However you’re not accomplished but, as a result of Massive Prime desires his severance pay within the quantity of: You. The Massive Prime chase is comparatively easy, however fast reflexes are wanted to adapt to his assaults. First, descend the staircase from the roof, and navigate throughout the slender hallways, avoiding his foot slams from above. Crouch-walk by means of the crawlspace between the 2 flooring, adjusting your path when Massive Prime’s foot slams down. The subsequent space is filled with mannequins you could keep away from, in any other case Massive Prime will hear you. Take it sluggish. That is the ultimate part to get by means of as you rush down the stairwell once more to conclude Massive Prime’s part.
