The Vent Monitor is a type of Monitor featured in Ultimate Custom Night. It can be accessed through the standard Monitor and used for fending the animatronics off that dwells in the Vents.

Gameplay[]

This Monitor has a single starting point that splits into three paths and merges into a single opening into the Office, with each opening having a vent snare to block the animatronics's path. Withered Chica will constantly take the rightmost path while every other animatronic takes different paths randomly.

Mangle

There is also a different vent path where Balloon Boy, JJ, and Scraptrap dwells, but it is not visible or featured in the Vent Monitor.

Usage[]

Snare and Door[]

There are two gate types to use for preventing the vent-crawling animatronics from entering the Office: the Vent Snare and the Vent Door. The player can click on one of the three entrances to activate the Vent Snare, although only one entrance can have a Vent Snare at a time.

The Vent Snare can block Mangle and Withered Chica (with the latter alternatively being able to be stopped by the Vent Door), but Springtrap, Ennard, and Molten Freddy are unaffected. Instead, the player can close the Vent Door when they make visual or audio cues:

Springtrap showing his face without making any sounds
Ennard's squeak sounds
Molten Freddy's laughter

These three aforementioned animatronics will not attack unless the Monitor is used. In such case, shut the Vent Door when they draw their presence. It is noteworthy that repelling Springtrap, Ennard, and Molten Freddy can yield a Faz-Coin.

If Withered Chica is not halted after reaching the end, she will be seen getting stuck in the central vent's opening, preventing the player from using the Vent Door. While she can stop Springtrap, Ennard and Molten Freddy from entering the Office, Mangle will still be able to get through. Withered Chica will not leave when clogging the vent entrance, and she will later wriggle free and instantly jumpscare to give the player a game over.

Radar[]

The Vent Radar is a command to locate the vent animatronics from the vent system with the Vent Monitor, and it is accompanied by the Vent Snare. The Vent Radar can only locate the animatronics that were inhabiting the central vent system, leaving Scraptrap, Balloon Boy, and JJ invisible to the Vent Radar.

While Ennard is difficult to watch over with the Vent Radar due to its mechanic, its icon can be still viewed occasionally, blinking briefly.

Trivia[]

The vent images for all of the animatronics in the vents are reused from their menu mugshot icon, except Molten Freddy. However, it appears that Molten Freddy's head icon is in exact same position like his unused blueprint file from Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.
