One of the key features in fnaf 2 is the Music Box. Players have to keep an eye out for animatronics in the vents, flash Foxy in the hallway, and quickly throw on the Freddy Fazbear mask, but honestly, none of these threats are as consistently scary as the Puppet. Unlike most animatronics, you can't just stop the Puppet with a mask or flashlight. The only way to stop it from going after you is to keep the Music Box going all night long.
A lot of new players find this mechanic tricky since it demands their attention while juggling a bunch of other distractions. A single mistake can make the Music Box run low, leading to a situation that's tougher to bounce back from. Luckily, if you have the right approach and habits, handling the Music Box can feel like a breeze and really boost your odds of making it through the night.
The Music Box is hanging out in the Prize Corner camera. When you fire up the monitor and switch to this camera, just hold down the wind button to refill the box. As long as the Music Box is wound up, the Puppet just hangs out and doesn't do anything. If it totally runs out, though, the Puppet will eventually pop out of its box and go on the attack. Once this happens, there's really no solid way to put a stop to it, so keeping an eye on Music Box management is super important in the game.
The secret to rocking Music Box management is all about keeping it consistent. Lots of players mess up by only winding the box when it's almost out of juice. This method is a bit sketchy since you might run into animatronics that could stop you from getting to the cameras on time. Instead, seasoned players suggest winding the Music Box every time you check the monitor. Even if it looks pretty full, giving yourself a bit more time helps keep things chill and safe.
