If you’re trying to unlock the secret Moon Ending in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic, this guide will help you through it step-by-step. The process involves finding special items, solving puzzles, and facing off against the Mimic. We’ll break it down in simple terms so you can follow along and see the secret happy ending for yourself.
How to Start the Moon.exe
In FNAF: Secret of the Mimic, there are 25 gift box collectables you can find during your playthrough. If you want to earn the trophy, you’ll need to collect them all. But don’t worry, you don’t actually need every single one to unlock the secret ending. Before attempting to finish the Moon.exe mini-game, you need to have the following items in your gift box.
Birthday Cake
In the Admin Wing, go to the far-left corner. Use the keypad (0-1-3-5-0) to open the door and grab your sweet reward.
David’s Toy Ball
Head into the Retail Showroom next to the Security Office. Look for the keypad near the carousel and enter the code 80625. This will unlock the elevator. Be careful here, the Mimic can appear in this area.
Take the elevator down to a hidden section of the Basement, where a strange animatronic is roaming. Your goal is to collect the Overflow pieces and restore the power. Once that’s done, check inside the giant, creepy head in the middle of the room to find David’s Toy Ball.
Foxy Pirate Plush
Play the Ball Toss Clown game in the Big Top Showroom. Go through the clown’s mouth, reach the Storytime Showroom, then through the Staff Only door. Take a left, enter the Creator door, and you’ll find the puppet.
Ranger Army Knife
Follow the hallway leading to the Workshop and Warehouse doors. Turn right and open the Creator door to find the present.
Lil Sewing Kit
Go to the kitchen, open the main hallway keypad door (2-6-2-9-4), and then unlock the next door with your Data Diver. It is situated on a table in the lunch area.
Toy Hammer
Same Theatre area past the locked door, go to the end of the hall and down the stairs. Enter the Workshop, walk straight, then turn into another Theatre door. Crouch under the debris, go up the steps, and you’ll find the hammer held by a costume.
Fall Fest Ticket Book
From the theatre door in the main hallway, head upstairs. Go past the locked door, turn left, and open the door to the backstage area. Use the joystick machine to build a bridge, then ride the lifts to get the collectable.
Junior Doctor’s Kit
In the Loading Bay, use the obstacle course to reach the left side, where the kit is sitting.
Pet Fish Net
After passing through the Loading Bay, go down the hallway and turn left. Follow it until you see a Welcome Show door go in, and check the right corner of the walkway.
Rainy Day Boot
Still in the same hallway after the Loading Bay, enter the door beside the locked security room, then take the lift down. At the bottom, go left through the orange gate, turn left again, and play Roxy’s carnival game to win the boot.
Sharpy Plushie
Sneak past the Elephant Animatronic by entering through the Main Hallway door. Just ahead is the plush toy.
Hedgehog Mask
Inside the second security office, next to the INVENTORY Machine. To get there, go through the Main Hallway and ride the elevator up.
Chica Party Time Cup
Crawl through the vent above the fixed elevator, then drop down into the hole. The collectable is down there.
Swing Bee Honey Bottle
In the Birthday & Storytime Showrooms. Use the codes 4-7-8-2 and 0-4-3-4 to unlock the keypad doors. Inside a small security office, you’ll find the honey bottle.
Star Orphan Night Light
Same route as the Foxy Puppet after entering Staff Only, go right instead. Pass through the break room, go under the hanging stars, and enter the hideout through the vent at the far end.
Blocks
After restoring power in the Warehouse, take the Green Trolley and play the Ball Toss game (knock out all the teeth on the first clown, only four on the second). Crawl through the clown face and follow the vent path.
Tiger Plush
To get the White Tiger Doll, you’ll need to finish the game once and then start a New Game+. Don’t worry, your collectables will carry over. Once you load into New Game+, check the Security Office at the very beginning of the game. That’s where the doll will appear.
How to Complete the Moon.exe
When you find these items and place them in the Inventory Tube System, they get sent straight into the game. Once they’re turned into code, these gifts unlock new choices in Moon.exe. You’ll know they worked because the new options will show up in yellow text. In the mini-game, you can use the left and right buttons to move between different areas or scenes. Here’s a simple step-by-step on what you’ll need to do in the Moon.exe mini-game in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic:
Closet
Open the closet door to grab the Hedgehog Mask, and make sure to put it on.
Bedroom Door
Look for a key in the Sharpy Plushie. To open the window and leave the room, you’ll need this key.
West Forest Path
Get the Chica Party Time Cup by looking at the nest outside.
Forest Cave
Pour soup from the pot into your cup, then pick up the Starbright Night Light.
East Forest Path
To save the owl, toss the soup at the gator. Additionally, look for a Ranger’s Knife in this tree.
West Forest Path (again)
Use the knife to cut a branch and make a Walking Stick.
East Forest Path (again)
Go into the Forest Ruins.
Dark Forest Ruins
Look at the statues and take the Bowtie from one of them.
Dark Forest
Head down to the Pond.
Dark Forest Pond
Check the Toy Pirate Ship to pick up the Foxy Puppet. When you’re done, head back to the boulder.
Dark Forest Fountain
Take a look at the Loom and grab the Sewing Kit.
Dark Forest Path (again)
A Swing Bee Honey Bottle can be found inside the Hollow Stump. To ascend the mountain, use the Walking Stick.
Dark Forest Cabin
Give the Honey Bottle to the bear so it leaves. Then, open the cabin door.
Inside the Cabin
Talk to the old woman inside.
Mask Workbench
Fix the bear, rabbit, and fox masks at the workbench using the supplies you’ve gathered. Then, to obtain the Baby Owl Mask, speak with the elderly woman once more.
Forest Cave (again)
Put on the Baby Owl Mask and go into the cave.
Cave Entrance
Go through the east passage.
Cave Ruins
Keep going deeper into the cave.
Cave Workshop
Grab the Toy Hammer from the workbench. Then, continue deeper.
Cave Hub
First, enter the north arch.
Crystal Cave
Use the hammer to break a crystal and get the statue’s left arm. Open the small door and remember the arrow pattern on the wall. Then head back to the Cave Hub.
Cave Hub (again)
Put the statue’s left arm in place. Now go through the west arch and keep going.
Pirate Ship
Check the Pirate Ship to find a fishing net. Walk through the waterfall to find a locked chest. Use the arrow code (Left, Right, Right, Left) to unlock it and grab the statue’s right arm. Return to the Cave Hub.
Cave Hub (again)
Insert the statue’s right arm, then head through the east arch.
Cave Pool
Use the fishing net to pull the moon-shaped statue’s head from the pond.
Cave Hub (final)
Put the statue’s head in place, and you’ll be teleported to the facility in the Moon.exe mini-game.
Welcome Show
Open the Security Door after obtaining the ticket from the animatronic.
Jackie’s Showroom
To obtain the enchanted Rainy Day Boots, check the package. Trap Jackie with them. To obtain the bricks that spell out “David,” open the Birthday Present. After that, go out the vent.
Big Top Showroom
Give your ticket to Big Top and get a Child’s Ball as a gift. Spin the wheel to unlock the Rainbow Doors and move ahead.
Doll Hospital
Retrieve the Doctor’s Kit and repair the damaged Elephant and Duck with it. Take the birthday cake when Nurse Dollie departs. Take the elevator out.
Chica’s Party Room
Give the Birthday Cake to Chica, then open the Birthday Present to get a White Tiger Doll. Head up the stairs.
David’s Room
Read the storybook to learn how to solve the puzzle.
- Put the Child’s Ball in the Moon Box.
- Put the Blocks in the Star Box.
- Put the White Tiger Doll in the Snow Box.
When the puzzle’s done, step into the closet.
David’s Closet
To obtain the Glitched Permission, complete the bits mini-game at the upgrade station.
Just play through the Parachute.exe ending the same way you normally would until you reach the Mimic boss fight inside the mansion. By this point, you should have already faced the Mimic in the old prototype Pizzeria, met Fiona in her computer form, and taken the cart ride to the mansion. When you get to the mansion, ride the elevator to the ground floor and proceed as usual.
Collect 6 Audio Cassettes
This time, your goal is to find the storytelling cassette tapes. These tapes are hidden behind each of the doors that require your Glitched Permission to open. As you find each tape, take it to the master bedroom, it’s at the top of the stairs on the second floor, first door on the left, the one with the hanging chains. Once you’ve collected and placed all six tapes, a vent will open up that leads into David’s Bedroom. Before you go into the vent or enter David’s Bedroom, make sure to pick up the Tiger Plush; you’ll need it to activate the Storytelling Podium.
Secret Ending
When you enter David’s room, look up at the tapestry hanging above the dresser on your right. It will show four animals lined up from left to right. This pattern is random in every playthrough, so make sure you remember the order of the animals for your run.
In the centre of the room, you’ll see the Story Book with a podium above it. Put the White Tiger Doll on the podium when you’re prepared to begin the last section of this conclusion. This will trigger the Mimic to come out of the closet, as Edwin and Fiona begin telling their bedtime story. The Mimic will shift between looking like David and turning into his terrifying, monstrous form.
The Mimic will start to come at you, but your goal is to press the buttons on the Story Book in the order of the animals you saw on the tapestry. Each button has an animal symbol on it. Press them in the same sequence as your tapestry showed. Do this four times to complete the story.
Once you finish, the Mimic will glitch out, and you’ll see a Data Diver spot appear on his chest. Insert the Data Diver and turn it to fix him. The Mimic will change back into David, hop into bed, and go to sleep. And just like that, you’ve unlocked the secret happy ending.
