Bakso Malang Anomalies Light Bulb Guide: How to Fix the Lights

In Bakso Malang Anomalies, environmental cues are just as important as the customers you serve.

One of the most common and confusing mechanics for new players involves the light bulb and the light switch riddle.

Here is the breakdown of how to handle the light bulb mechanics to avoid a game over.


Bakso Malang Anomalies The Light Bulb & Switch Mechanic

During your shift, you may encounter a “Stranger” or a specific anomaly that messes with your stall’s lighting.

This isn’t just a visual jump-scare, it’s a puzzle you must solve correctly to survive.

1. The Light Switch Riddle

Sometimes, a mysterious stranger will approach your window and challenge you to a “guessing game” or a task involving the light switches.

  • The Goal: You need to determine whether the light switch should be ON or OFF.

  • The Solution: Use your Third Eye (Press Q).

    • Look at the light switch while holding Q.

    • Black Switch: If the switch appears Black under your Third Eye, you must Turn it OFF.

    • Red Switch: If the switch appears Red under your Third Eye, you must Keep it ON.

2. Flickering Lights (Warning Sign)

If your light bulb begins to flicker rapidly or the stall goes completely dark, it usually signals one of two things:

  • An Anomaly is Nearby: A dangerous entity is currently within the stall or very close to the window. Close your shutter immediately.

  • The Inspector is Arriving: Lights often dim or malfunction just before the 2:00 AM Inspection. If you hear a car engine and the lights dip, it’s time to exit the back door.

Dealing with the “Light Bulb Stranger”

This specific anomaly looks like a normal human but behaves oddly.

They will often stand at the window and refuse to order food, instead commenting on the “brightness” or asking you to fix the light.

  • Rule of Thumb: Never serve a customer if the light bulb directly above them is off or flickering red.

  • Fixing the Bulb: If the bulb actually breaks (shatters), you must interact with the spare bulb box (usually near the noodle crates) and click the light fixture.

Caution: Only do this if you have confirmed there are no anomalies outside the window using your CCTV.


Pro Tips for the Light Mechanic

  • Don’t Spam the Switch: Clicking the light switch repeatedly for no reason can lower your sanity faster than using the Third Eye.

  • CCTV Night Vision: If the bulb is out, rely on your CCTV Night Vision (Press F) to see who is at the window. Never open the shutter in the dark without checking the camera first.

  • Red Edges: If the light bulb turns a steady, deep red, do not use your Third Eye. This is a trap that will cause an instant jumpscare/death if you try to “see” through the red light.


Final Thoughts

Mastering the light bulb mechanics is the thin line between a profitable shift and a permanent disappearance.

Keep your hand near the Q key, watch those switch colors closely, and never trust a flickering bulb.
