Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5 will take players deeper into the Playtime Factory, starting with the Recycling and Reclamation facility. As players survive the chase by Huggy Wuggy, they'll end up here and will acquaint themselves with Wrongside Outimals as minor enemies. The goal will be to loop around the hallways and get the key across the glass, but first, you'll need to get a flashlight to keep the Outimals at bay.
When Does Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 Come Out?
The spooky horror game is getting its fifth chapter very soon, but when can you start playing?
How to Reach the Recycling & Reclamation Key in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5
After using the lights to clear pathways from dangerous Wrongside Outimals, you'll arrive in the Recycling & Reclamation main office. To start your trek to the key across the glass, first pull the red lever to the right to turn on the lights.
Once the lights are on, turn around and use the rainbow-colored wooden board to enter through the window to the room on the right. Here, you'll need to pull the lever with the red light before walking through the door to the right. This will send the feral Outimal enemies away from the door, allowing you to safely go through it.
After entering the second room, you'll need to do the same and enter the third room.
In the third room, the path to the light switch is blocked by feral Outimals. However, you can use the wooden board over the conveyor belt to cross over to the other side. Now you can flip the light switch and proceed to the next room.
Proceed through the next two rooms similarly, by switching on the lights and progressing forward, till you end up in a room with a crushing station.
You'll first need to pull the red lever and press the button to activate the crusher. Go near the crusher and pick up a star on the belt, which is actually how you'll finally get the Glowby, a flashlight in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5. Now, all you need to do is backtrack your way to the first room.
Make sure to explore other rooms that were blocked off by feral Outimals using the Glowby's flashlight.
Once you return to the main room, you'll need to head across the hallway and enter through the door in the middle. Go through the hallway while keeping your flashlight on, so you don't get attacked by one of the feral Outimals.
After following this hallway till you arrive in an open area with a staircase and a small office. Enter the office, and you'll be able to grab the Recycling and Reclamation key in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5. Now you can use this key to unlock the main door in this section and progress further into the story.
