[[File:Residence Massacre - THE BUNKER.png|thumb|Residence Massacre - THE BUNKER]]
The Bunker is a Halloween / special map variant (a limited-event night) added as part of Residence Massacre’s Halloween content. It replaces the normal house/night setting with a bunker/camp/lodge style map and a unique final sequence. Players must complete objectives and survive anomalies until the round ends.  The '''Bunker''' is one of the most intense and mysterious sequences in ''Residence Massacre'', challenging even the most seasoned Roblox horror players. Hidden beneath the surface of the map, this eerie, steel-lined maze tests your ability to stay calm, think fast, and master every survival mechanic the game throws at you. Players who enter The Bunker must solve puzzles, manage limited resources, and outsmart relentless anomalies lurking in the shadows — all while racing against time to find an escape route.

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know to '''get past The Bunker''' — from preparing your gear and understanding the environment to completing key puzzles and surviving the final chase. Whether you’re tackling it solo or teaming up with friends, this walkthrough will help you move through the bunker with confidence, avoid common mistakes, and secure those elusive badges and rewards waiting at the end.<ref>https://residence-massacre1.fandom.com/wiki/Residence_Massacre_Wiki</ref> 

== Entry requirements and prep (before you enter) ==

* '''Time / Night''': This is part of the Halloween night(s) — arrive prepared before the night cutoff (you typically have daytime prep in which to collect items and set up). 
* '''Key items to hunt for during prep''': flashlight (+ batteries), medkits, Bloxy Cola, wrench/hammer (useful for puzzles/repairs), camera placement items (if map has cameras). Make sure lights and generator (if present) are set; some video walkthroughs show pushing certain objectives before the bunker phase begins. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fyx0Sfq2uWA</ref>

== High-level mechanics you’ll face inside The Bunker ==

* '''Anomalies / Stalkers''': aggressive entities similar to the Mutant or event-specific anomalies — they roam, will chase and cause instant death if they catch you. Some anomalies can be scared away by light or by making noise.
* '''Memory / Minigames & puzzles''': the Halloween event introduced a Memory minigame mechanic and small puzzles you must solve to progress. These often are “press in sequence” or “find and use” object puzzles. 
* '''Multi-stage final: Escape vs. Boss''' — walkthroughs show the bunker ending as a multi-stage encounter (lure/stall the boss or do environmental manipulation to open the escape route). Videos named “THE BUNKER — Full Walkthrough” explicitly show these stages.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fyx0Sfq2uWA</ref>

== Exact step-by-step walkthrough to ''get past THE BUNKER'' ==

# '''Daytime prep (outside / lodge)'''
#* Run the map quickly and collect the flashlight and at least one spare battery, medkit(s), and any tool items (wrench/hammer). Turn on any accessible lights and set radios if the objective requires it. This reduces surprise anomalies during the indoor sequence.
# '''Enter the bunker/lodge area after the cutscene'''
#* Immediately pick a cabin/room to defend if multiple are available (videos show running to an available cabin and locking down entry points). Place cameras if you have them — they help track anomaly movement.
# '''Complete the local puzzles'''
#* The bunker sequence includes small puzzles you must solve to unlock doors or power pathways. Typical pattern: find item A → use on console → remember a 3-step pattern or symbol (Memory minigame) → that opens the next door. Use the flashlight while doing memory sequences to avoid being telegraphed by darkness. (If you fail Memory, you often need to retry — do it quickly; some videos show players pausing the anomaly with lights while teammates retry.)<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzjwpblBq_E</ref>
# '''Dealing with the main anomaly / boss phase'''
#* The final Bunker encounter works like a chase/obstacle sequence. Multiple walkthroughs show two reliable strategies used by players:
#** '''Stall & escape method''': Lure the anomaly away from the escape route (or the door you need to open) using a small distraction (throwable toy / item) or by running in loops while a teammate triggers environmental devices. While it's stalled, go to the escape console and complete the final objective (pull levers / press buttons). This is shown in several full-walkthrough videos. 
#** '''Environmental blocking method''': Use combustible / blocking items (videos show throwing/molotov or using gas grenades in other similar games) or push boxes to temporarily block bridges/paths so the boss cannot reach the exit while you complete escape actions. This is used in other community strategies (adapted to Residence Massacre by players in walkthroughs). 
# '''If you get chased / cornered'''
#* Do not attempt a head-on fight unless you have the specific item/weapon shown in that run. Instead: run to a pre-planned room with two escape options (window and door), drop behind cover, and let the anomaly path past while you re-route to the escape objective. Videos emphasize that direct fighting often results in instant death; stalling or environmental manipulation is safer. 
# '''Final extraction'''
#* Once the final console/door is activated, move quickly to the extraction point — many walkthroughs show that timing matters: some players must stand on a switch or move boxes to form a jump path. If you made it to this step, coordinate with teammates (if any) to open the route together. Full videos show the final hop/jump or door opening animation that ends the sequence.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzjwpblBq_E</ref>

== Multiplayer vs Solo differences ==

* '''Multiplayer''': teammates can split tasks (one stalls the anomaly, others solve memory/puzzles). Place cameras and communicate which doors are being worked. This is the easiest way to clear the bunker reliably.
* '''Solo''': rely on stalling tactics and environmental blocks. You’ll need to be faster at the Memory minigame and at baiting the anomaly away. Watching a video walkthrough once or twice to memorize puzzle locations helps a lot.

== Pro tips ==

* '''Learn the Memory minigame patterns''' — memorizing the common symbol patterns used in event puzzles reduces retries.
* '''Use light as defense''' — anomalies react to darkness in many situations. Keep your flashlight ready and hold it while doing puzzle steps if possible.
* '''Don’t fight unless the walkthrough shows a guaranteed weapon''' — the bunker boss/ anomaly is designed to punish direct fights. Stun/stall or block instead.
* '''Watch a play''' '''through once''' — the exact layout and button placements are easiest to learn visually; I’ve linked the best full walkthroughs below.

== Common mistakes that cause failures ==

* Spending too long searching during daytime prep (you need time to set up).
* Trying to melee the final anomaly instead of using environmental tricks; devs/players designed the encounter to reward stalling and map knowledge.
* Forgetting to place/monitor cameras — you lose valuable early-warning time.
