The Butchery Wiki

Your complete survival guide to escaping Cottonwood Farm — puzzles, weapons, walkthroughs, and every secret through Part 5.

Play on Roblox

Overview

The Butchery is a survival horror experience on Roblox, created by chubby_baby7 and inspired by Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. After driving down the wrong road in the Cottonwood Mountains, you are ambushed and wake inside an old farmhouse owned by two deranged brothers — Jackson and William.

Your goal is simple but terrifying: solve environmental puzzles, manage scarce resources, outwit mutant creatures, and escape alive. The game has attracted over 100 million visits since its release on December 26, 2022, and continues to grow with major story updates.

The May 30, 2026 update released Part 4 and Part 5, expanding the story beyond the farmhouse into the garden and barn areas with new monstrosities, Mama boss fight, and a full conclusion to the nightmare.

Game at a Glance

  • Developer: chubby_baby7
  • Latest update: May 30, 2026 — Part 4 & 5
  • Genre: Horror, Adventure, Action, Puzzle
  • Platform: Roblox (PC recommended with mouse)
  • Chapters: Part 1 through Part 5 (full story complete)
  • Difficulty modes: Easy, Normal, Hardcore
  • Setting: Cottonwood Farm — attic, upstairs, downstairs, basement, garden, barn
  • Main antagonists: Jackson, William, Mama, and Pig/Cow/Horse/Chicken mutants

What Makes It Difficult

New players often struggle because objectives are environmental rather than quest-marked. Dark rooms hide key items, ammo is extremely limited, and direct combat with mutants usually ends badly. Hardcore mode adds bear traps, turrets, randomized puzzle placements, and respawning cows. Multiplayer helps — teammates can split puzzle-solving and distraction roles.

There is currently no save system — you must replay from the beginning to reach later parts. A save-load feature is planned for a future update. On PC or gamepad, hold S / Button Y during the intro cutscene to skip it on replays.

Codes

Players frequently search for The Butchery codes to unlock free items, currency, or boosts. As of July 2026, there are no active promotional codes for this game. chubby_baby7 has not published a code redemption system through Roblox's standard promo code channel.

Unlike many simulator or tycoon games on Roblox, The Butchery is a story-driven horror experience where progression comes from solving puzzles and completing chapters — not from redeeming codes.

How to Redeem Codes (When Available)

  • Launch The Butchery on Roblox
  • Look for a Codes button in the lobby or pause menu (if added in a future update)
  • Enter the code exactly as published — codes are usually case-sensitive
  • Click Redeem and check your inventory for rewards

Where to Watch for New Codes

  • Official Roblox game description and update notes
  • Developer chubby_baby7's Roblox profile and social announcements
  • This wiki — we update the Codes section whenever new codes appear

Controls & Settings

The Butchery uses standard Roblox controls with horror-specific interactions. The developer strongly recommends playing on PC with a mouse for aiming and camera control in dark areas.

PC Controls

ActionKey / Input
MoveW A S D
JumpSpace
SprintShift (hold)
Interact / Pick upE or Left Click
Aim / LookMouse
Use weaponLeft Click
Inventory slots1 – 9
Skip intro cutscene (replay)Hold S
Flashlight toggleAutomatic in dark areas when equipped
Pause / MenuEsc

Mobile & Console

Mobile uses on-screen virtual joystick and tap-to-interact buttons. Console players use standard gamepad mappings — hold Button Y to skip the intro on replays. Combat and puzzle precision are harder on mobile — consider lowering enemy difficulty by playing with friends.

Recommended Settings

  • Lower graphics quality if dark rooms are too hard to navigate
  • Enable Reduce Motion in Roblox settings to disable camera bobbing (helps motion sickness)
  • Use headphones — enemy footsteps and ambient sounds reveal mutant locations
  • Increase brightness slightly if your display is very dark (without ruining horror atmosphere)

Walkthrough

This summary covers all five parts from the opening cutscene through the final escape. For step-by-step room-by-room guidance, visit our dedicated Walkthrough page with embedded video guides.

Part 1 — The Attic & Upstairs

After the intro, you wake in the attic. Find the Mannequin Arm and use it on the hole in the wall to progress. Collect statuettes (Bird, Cat, Horse) from upstairs rooms — the Cat is hidden in the bathroom toilet.

Complete the Statuettes puzzle to obtain the Beetle Key. Use it to escape the Pig mutant patrolling upstairs. Avoid direct combat until you have a weapon in Part 2.

Part 2 — Downstairs & The Survivor

Find the Handgun in the dining area. During the Pig Rodeo sequence, stay mobile and use the environment. Meet the Survivor NPC and solve the Music Box (Jack-in-the-Box) puzzle — hit the dummy five times in a row without missing.

Obtain the Clock Hand from the cow room, set the grandfather clock to 2:35 for the Laundry Key. Fight cow mutants with headshots (roughly 6 shots each). Complete the Hourglass puzzle in the workshop — activate it and reach the secret passage behind the bookcase before time runs out.

Part 3 — The Basement

Descend to the basement with your flashlight. Solve the Circular Saw puzzle while evading the Jockey (Horse mutant). Acquire the Shotgun and use all remaining Handgun ammo plus the Shotgun to defeat the Jockey.

The Jockey drops the Garden Key (with the Survivor's hand still attached). Take it upstairs, pass through the Centipede Door to the porch, and unlock the Garden Door to end Part 3.

Part 4 — The Garden

Released May 30, 2026. Explore the courtyard, garden, lake, and forest. Activate four generators at pig, cow, horse, and chicken shrines. Fight chicken mutants, use explosive barrels to save ammo, and retrieve the Bear Statuette from the brothers' mower.

Place the Bear Statuette per the TV clue, obtain Mama's Key, enter the Secret Basement, grab the Barn Key, and unlock the barn entrance.

Part 5 — The Barn & Ending

Enter the barn, collect the Car Key, and attempt to escape in your car. William knocks you out — Mama resurrects and destroys the deck. Bait Mama into striking the explosive barrel three times to burn her.

Dodge Jackson and William upstairs, grab the Car Key again, and get all alive players into the car to drive off and beat the game.

Puzzles

Puzzles are the core progression gate in The Butchery. Each requires finding a key item in a nearby room and applying it to the correct interactable object.

Statuettes Puzzle

Collect Bird, Cat, and Horse statuettes from upstairs rooms. Place them on the correct pedestals to unlock the Beetle Key. The Cat statuette is inside the bathroom toilet. Check the Billiard Room TV for placement photos (randomized in Hardcore).

Grandfather Clock (2:35)

Find the Clock Hand in the room with the cow mutant. Insert it into the grandfather clock in the Dining Room. Wind left until the small hand reaches 10, wind left until the big hand reaches 3, then wind right until the small hand reaches 2 — setting the time to 2:35. A sticky note in the fridge confirms this time.

Music Box (Jack-in-the-Box)

After meeting the Survivor, interact with the Jack-in-the-Box. Hit the dummy five consecutive times without missing. One miss resets the sequence.

Lion's Carillon Puzzle

Found in the brothers' conversation room. Read The Lion's Tale note: East, then North, then South. Stop the music box lion facing right, up, then down. Rewards Tomato Soup (max health + full heal) and the Laid To Rest badge.

Hourglass Puzzle

Defeat the two cow mutants in the workshop (approximately 12 headshots total recommended). Activate the hourglass on the table. A secret passage opens behind the bookcase — enter quickly before the timer expires.

Piano Puzzle

Optional puzzle in the TV room upstairs from the basement stairs. Play notes in order: 1, 5, 8, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 (found on a note in the basement workshop). Unlocks Chicken Soup for a movement speed upgrade.

Circular Saw Puzzle

In the basement, use Bolt Cutters on the Meat Storage fridge to get the Living Heart. Place it in the bathtub cow, retrieve the Car Battery, connect it in the Red Room to power the saw. The saw cuts open a cow revealing the Centipede Key.

Whack A Jack (Garden)

Optional shooting challenge beside the garden shed. Shoot 5 clown heads in a row to unlock Mushroom Soup (attack damage upgrade).

Bear Statuette Puzzle (Part 4)

Retrieve the Bear Statuette from the mower crate in the barn grounds. Return to the overgrown Billiard Room — the TV shows where to place it (next to red flowers in Normal/Easy). This unlocks Mama's Key in the Bedroom.

Stone Statues (Forest)

Secret optional puzzle in the Part 4 forest between two trees on the map edge. Completing it grants another Tomato Soup upgrade.

Hole in the Wall

Early in Part 1, insert the Mannequin Arm into the wall hole. Solving this grants the Helping Hand badge.

Enemies & Bosses

Mutant Types

EnemyBehaviorStrategy
Pig MutantPatrols upstairs; fast chargesEvade in Part 1; fight with handgun in Part 2 rodeo
Cow MutantHeavy, high HP; multiple encounters6+ headshots with handgun; trap behind doors
Jockey (Horse)Basement boss; extremely dangerousUse Shotgun + all remaining ammo; cannot be killed early
Chicken MutantFast swarms in garden (Part 4)Hunting Rifle from distance; Shotgun when surrounded; lure into barrels
RoosterForest area; aggressive but optionalAvoid unless clearing the forest; not required to progress
MamaFinal boss in barn arenaBait to explosive barrel 3 times; do not fight directly

Human Antagonists

Jackson and William drive the story through cutscenes and traps. In Part 5 they resurrect Mama and chase you during the final escape. They can drag players out of the car — lure them upstairs and jump off the broken deck to buy time.

Combat Tips

  • Always aim for the head with the Handgun for maximum damage
  • Sprint away and hide if caught without ammo
  • Listen for footstep audio cues before entering new rooms
  • Use explosive barrels and bear traps against chicken swarms
  • Never engage the Jockey without the Shotgun

Trello & Official Links

Many Roblox games publish a Trello board for update tracking. The Butchery does not have an official Trello board as of July 2026. Fan-made Trellos may exist but are not verified by the developer.

Scripts & Safety

Searching for The Butchery scripts, auto-farm, or exploit tools is common, but there are no official scripts for this game. Using third-party executors violates Roblox Terms of Service and risks permanent account bans.

The Butchery is designed as a story experience — puzzles cannot be legitimately skipped. Instead of scripts, use this walkthrough for step-by-step puzzle solutions.

Why Scripts Don't Work Well Here

  • Progress is gated by inventory-based puzzle items, not grind
  • Server-side validation prevents most exploit shortcuts
  • Horror pacing is intentional — skipping ruins the experience
  • Account bans from Roblox anti-cheat are permanent

Legitimate Alternatives

  • Follow our Walkthrough and Puzzles sections
  • Play co-op with friends to split tasks
  • Watch verified YouTube playthroughs for visual guidance
  • Replay chapters to practice combat and puzzle timing

  • Use explosive barrels against chicken groups in Part 4
  • Multiplayer makes combat sections significantly easier

  • Hold S on PC to skip the intro cutscene on replays
