Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic Release Date Revealed

Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic confirms an official release date, letting fans know when to mark their calendars.

Retrieving the Training Cassette

When players enter the maintenance section of the main hallway, they'll come across a broken elevator with an elephant's mask stuck in the gears. When you try to pull the mask, it won't budge. So, the only way to repair the elevator in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic would be to somehow stop the gears from spinning.

So, the first thing you need to do is use your Data Diver in Mrs. Helper's terminal and switch the permission access to "Repair." Once that's done, press the talk button, and she'll ask you to retrieve a training cassette from the second-floor balcony. Please listen to her through to the end, as she'll also reveal the code for the cassette box, which is 0158.

So, now you'll need to make your way out of the maintenance area and back into the main hallway. Be cautious, as the animatronics will become activated and start searching for you. Quickly hide in one of the lockers if one spots you, and quietly make your way up the balcony. Use the keypad on the second-floor balcony and enter the code to retrieve the training cassette from the emergency box.

Now, quietly head back to the maintenance hallway and into the room with Mrs. Helper. Insert the tape into the Repair-Matic machine to start repairing the elevator.

Repairing the Elevator in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic

The first process for repairing the elevator in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic is initiating manual overdrive and lifting it to reveal another mini-puzzle under it. Use the instructions from the training cassette to stop the elevator gears, lift the elevator, and enter underneath the elevator to access alignment controls.

Once you're in the elevator, the first thing you'll need to do is pull the emergency brake lever and balance the four elevator alignment levels. You'll need to shift the button on the right to the right position for the bearing on the left to stop within the blue zone. Once all four bearings are in the right positions, listen to Mrs. Helper as they'll tell you a code.

Follow the wires from each of the alignment controls, which lead to a red button. According to the code shared by Mrs. Helper, press the buttons in the correct order. Now, do everything in reverse, and the elevator should be repaired in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic.
