Should You Give the Data Diver to the Dispatcher in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic?

The first choice players can make is to comply with the Dispatcher and hand over the Data Diver with the Mimic Schematics. As this was the goal from the beginning, it only feels like the right thing to do. After placing the Data Diver into the inventory tube, it will be sent into the system, and Arnold will be free to leave the facility.

While Arnold is driving away, he receives a call from the "real" Dispatcher, who claims that he didn't complete the objective. Although Arnold explains how he followed every direction and retrieved the schematics, it'll all be in vain as the dispatcher will threaten to sue him. This makes it clear that the version of Dispatcher Arnold was talking to the whole time was none other than the Mimic itself.

Once the conversation is over, a surprise is waiting for Arnold in the back of his truck, leading to the bad ending of FNAF: Secret of the Mimic.

Choosing this option will unlock the Clock Out trophy for FNAF: Secret of the Mimic.

Why Should You Run the Parachute.exe Program in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic

If players are hesitant to give away the Mimic schematics to the shady company, they can simply access the Helper terminal in the storage office and activate the Parachute.exe program. This will open up a secret vent inside the office that Arnold can climb into and escape the office area. After initiating the goodbye protocol, the facility will start to crumble, but the Mimic is not done with Arnold yet.

This choice will lead players to an iconic FNAF location, and Edwin's house, with some lore reveals that should not be missed. Eventually, this ending will be much more definitive, charting the course for the next entry in the series.

Players will unlock the Parachute and the Unfinished Business trophy by choosing this option.

So, players should choose the Parachute.exe route and experience a more satisfying conclusion to Arnold's journey, and the true ending to FNAF: Secret of the Mimic.
