Unlike the original Five Nights at Freddy's, the game will not crash when Golden Freddy kills the player. If the player does not put the mask on in time, Golden Freddy's head will fly towards the player, similarly to Withered Foxy, Mangle, The Puppet, Toy Chica, and Toy Bonnie. In this case, they must wear the Freddy Fazbear Mask immediately, as this will make Golden Freddy disappear without attacking.
Withered Golden Freddy's full body can also appear in front of the player at random after pulling down the Monitor. Instead, wind up the Music Box (around 4-8 ticks) and this will make Golden Freddy disappear - otherwise, his jumpscare will be triggered. If he is seen at the end of the hallway for a moment with the Flashlight, do not shine it again. The player should follow a pattern similar to the strategy provided for Night 5, but must exercise extreme caution for Golden Freddy, as his head can occasionally appear at the back of the hallway, much bigger in scale. The Music Box winds down extremely fast on this night, compared to the previous nights. Withered Golden Freddy also activates on this night, and can pose a serious threat if the player is not careful. Compared to previous nights, this night is extremely difficult, as every animatronic is incredibly active and each of them will most likely visit The Office several times.
