Last updated: August 2026 — Part 4 & 5 included
The Butchery Wiki
Your complete survival guide to escaping Cottonwood Farm — puzzles, weapons, walkthroughs, and every secret through Part 5.
Play on RobloxOverview
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 standard save-load system — you must replay from the beginning to reach later parts. The developer has announced a save feature is planned for a future update, but it is not fully confirmed or released yet. 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 August 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
| Action | Key / Input |
|---|---|
| Move | W A S D |
| Jump | Space |
| Sprint | Shift (hold) |
| Interact / Pick up | E or Left Click |
| Aim / Look | Mouse |
| Use weapon | Left Click |
| Inventory slots | 1 – 9 |
| Skip intro cutscene (replay) | Hold S |
| Flashlight toggle | Automatic in dark areas when equipped |
| Pause / Menu | Esc |
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.
Shoot the garage target to open the door, survive the Pig Rodeo, then take the Laundry Key from the yellow box inside. Obtain the Clock Hand from the cow room and set the grandfather clock to 2:35 for the Spider Key (not 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 animal shrines: (1) pig shrine in the garden, (2) cow shrine, (3) horse shrine on the lake island, and (4) chicken shrine in the forest near the Rooster — avoid fighting the Rooster if possible.
Fight chicken mutants, use explosive barrels to save ammo, and retrieve the Bear Statuette from the brothers' mower crate. Place the Bear Statuette per the TV clue in the overgrown Billiard Room to obtain Mama's Key. Enter the Secret Basement via the Old Bedroom hatch, grab the Barn Key from the bathtub arm, 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. Visit our dedicated Puzzles page for full solutions with embedded videos.
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. The Spider Key is inside the clock — not the Laundry Key.
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.
Piano Puzzle Solution
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.
4 Stone Statues Puzzle Solution
Generator Network (Part 4)
Part 4 requires activating four generators at animal shrines across Cottonwood Farm's outdoor areas. Each shrine corresponds to a mutant type and must be powered before the barn can be accessed.
- Pig shrine — located in the main garden area near the courtyard gate
- Cow shrine — found in the garden/courtyard zone alongside cow mutant patrol routes
- Horse shrine — on the small island in the lake; reach it by navigating around the shoreline
- Chicken shrine — deep in the forest near the Rooster; sneak past or avoid the Rooster rather than engaging it
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
Enemies fall into three categories: human antagonists (Jackson, William, Mama), farm mutants (Pig, Cow, Horse/Jockey, Chicken, Rooster), and environmental hazards (bear traps, turrets in Hardcore, explosive barrels).
Mutant Types
| Enemy | Behavior | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Pig Mutant | Patrols upstairs; fast charges | Evade in Part 1; fight with handgun in Part 2 rodeo |
| Cow Mutant | Heavy, high HP; multiple encounters | 6+ headshots with handgun; trap behind doors |
| Jockey (Horse) | Basement boss; extremely dangerous | Use Shotgun + all remaining ammo; cannot be killed early |
| Chicken Mutant | Fast swarms in garden (Part 4) | Hunting Rifle from distance; Shotgun when surrounded; lure into barrels |
| Rooster | Forest area; aggressive but optional | Avoid unless clearing the forest; not required to progress |
| Mama | Final boss in barn arena | Bait 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

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
