How to power on the HVAC in Fear the Spotlight

After a brief phone call with Amy, Vivian learns that Amy is somewhere in the school’s theater. The theater is full of smoke, but it can be cleared easily with the help of the HVAC. Here is how to power on the HVAC in Fear the Spotlight.

How to repair the fuse box

Take a right at the doors to the theater and head towards the Gymnasium. Head straight to the end of the gym and go left into the Mechanical room. Make your way down the steps and pick up the B Fuse on the table next to the stairs.

Now you need to unlock the fuse box with the sticky note on it. To unlock the fuse box you need to press the orange buttons on the box in the correct order. Press the top right button first, the top middle button second, the top left button third, and the bottom middle button last.

Open the fuse box and inspect the left side. Here, connect the black and red plugs to the sockets on the very top. This will power the top row of panels on the right side of the fuse box, allowing you to open the panel on the leftmost side.

Open the leftmost panel and place the B Fuse into the empty space, now you can open the panel to the right. On this middle panel, turn the left dial until a four is displayed above it. Then, turn the right dial until two zeroes are displayed above it and flip the switch below the two dials.

Next, go back to the left side of the fuse box and turn the yellow dial to x100 in the grey area. Back on the right side of the fuse box, the rightmost panel should be unlocked. Open the panel and flip the switch to unlock access to the storage room and bathrooms.

Go back to the left side of the fuse box, move the red and black plugs to the middle sockets. This powers the middle row of panels on the right side of the fuse box. You can open the leftmost panel, but you’ll need the C and D fuses to continue repairing the fuse box.

How to get the C and D Fuses

Exit the Mechanical room and head to the gym’s entrance, the Storage room is nearby. Follow the path in the storage room and pick up the flash light. Continue to the back of the room and use the screwdriver you got from the toolbox to open the vent here to enter the girl’s bathroom.

Interact with the rightmost stall in the bathroom, then walk towards the exit. Once you hear the stall door open, head inside the stall and grab the Cabinet Keys on the toilet. Now leave the bathroom and flip the switch in the hallway to open a shortcut to the gym.

Before going back to the Storage room, go into the boy’s bathroom. Head over to the urinals and flush the urinal in the middle to get the C Fuse. Once that’s done, go back to the Storage room.

Use the Cabinet Keys to open the cabinet near the entrance and obtain the D Fuse. Go back to the Mechanical room, but take care to avoid the Spotlight Head in the gym.

Place the C and D fuses in the leftmost panel in the middle row of the fuse box. Open the next panel and turn the left dial until an eight is displayed above it. Then, turn the right dial until one zero is displayed above it and flip the switch below the two dials.

Go to the left side of the fuse box and turn the yellow dial to x10 in the red area. Back on the right side of the fuse box the rightmost panel will be unlocked. Open the panel and flip the switch to open up access to the Pool and Office rooms.

Before heading out, go back to the left side of the fuse box and move the red and black plugs to the bottom sockets. This powers the bottom row of panels on the right side of the fuse box. You can open the leftmost panel on the bottom row, but you’ll need the E and F Fuses to continue.

How to get the E and F Fuses

Exit the Mechanical room and enter the second set of double doors to the left to reach the pool. In the pool room go forward, then take a right after passing the pool to reach the office. Once you’re in the office, answer the phone and listen to the conversation.

Use the Cabinet Keys on the cabinet behind the desk. Inside, you’ll find the E Fuse.

To get the Pool Pump Handle, you need to open the safe in the corner of the room behind the desk. The code to this safe is 1987. Take the Pump Handle, leave the office, and take a left to go up the steps.

Head to the top floor, climb up the bleachers, and use the Pool Pump Handle on the pool drain pump. Then, press the power and activate buttons to drain the pool.

Now, head back to the first floor and open the latch near the pool ladder to get down. At the bottom of the pool, make your way past the desk with a letter on it. Then, pick up the Raffle Crank behind the iron bars.

Go back to the gym and climb to the top of the stage near the pool doors. Use the Raffle Crank on the tumbler and spin the tumbler until the F Fuse comes out.

Now, head back to the fuse box in the Mechanical Room. Place the E and F fuses into the leftmost panel on the bottom row.

Open the next panel and turn the left dial until a one is displayed above it. Then, turn the right dial until a dot is displayed above it. Next, flip the switch below the two dials.

Go over to the left side of the fuse box and turn the yellow dial to x1 in the red area. Back on the right side of the fuse box, the rightmost panel should be unlocked. Open the panel and flip the switch to unlock fully power the gym.

How to power the HVAC

Go up the stairs in the Mechanical room and flip the switch under the green light. Now all of the gym’s power has been diverted to the HVAC. Leave the gym and head back to the theater.

The HVAC is to the right, near the blue lunch tables. Go to the right of the HVAC and open the panel here. Flip all the switches, then pull the red lever to power the HVAC.

The smoke blocking entrance to the theater has been removed. Now you’re free to enter the theater and continue pursuing Amy.
