Tips for surviving in Midnight Grinch

The tale this game tells takes place over three nights, two of which are largely uneventful as far as survival is concerned. It’s only in the final stretch of the third night that you must come face-to-face with the Grinch and try to find a way to survive.

Once you are captured by the Grinch and are being rescued by the Hunter, keep the following tips in mind to survive the assault:

• Try to leave the Grinch’s lair before the timer runs out or he catches you.
• Stay focused while on the obby and try not to fall. Falling off will cause an instant game-over, which can only be reversed with Robux.
• Once you leave his lair, you must stall until the police arrive. This can take a couple of minutes and the best way to do so would be to enter the Bakery. If you remain outside, the Grinch will certainly catch you effortlessly.
• Try to trick the Grinch’s CPU into getting stuck inside the Bakery. If you have a headstart on the villain, there’s a chance the Grinch gets trapped underneath the stairs after you make the climb. Simply stay next to the stairs on the second floor and keep an eye on the Grinch’s movements to see if he’s following you or not.
• If the Grinch follows you upstairs, try to maneuver around him and keep him from getting his hands on you. Find a way to make it back to the first floor and leave the Bakery to buy some time.
• Lastly, if you have a gun, don’t hesitate to shoot the Grinch the moment the game loads the Bakery. The game will end instantly and you will receive one of the three endings in the process.

The three endings of Midnight Grinch

This experience features three endings based on how you perform in the final stretch of the third night. Here’s how you can trigger these endings:

• Dead ending: This is the simplest consequence to trigger. After the escape sequence on the third night starts, allow the timer to run out or for the Grinch to catch you. You will end up dead and receive the dead ending, the game’s de-facto bad ending.
• Survive ending: The survive ending requires you to survive until the end of the timer. You survive to fight another day and the Grinch runs away after hearing the sounds of police sirens. This will also give you The End badge as well for beating the game.
• Hero ending: The hero ending requires you to purchase a gun from the in-game Shop. You can use it the moment you come face-to-face with the Grinch. This window appears close to the Bakery and the gun can kill the villain in just a few shots, instantly granting you the hero ending and the corresponding badge of the same name.
