To The Point: The Secret Tips of 'Among Us'

Mastering Among Us' hidden tips

Leave a comment below for the next tutorial you think I should make

(Big thanks to DinkleBeanie and Highscore drawings from the Discord for the great Polus art!!)

Tip breakdown:
STAY ALERT!!!

Crewmate Tips:
You can leave a task quicker once it shows the 'Task Completed' line by clicking the x in the top left
A quick lever pull keeps the Trash's momentum and finishes the task quicker
Click on the center of navigation, dont drag and move
After aligning the first engine, double click the arrow to finish both parts of the task
The temperature tasks have a range of 1-50/1-60, save time if your range is large by re-opening for a better one
Use the Stellar map linked above to find the object quickly
Don't guess the Simon Says order if you forget, reopen the task to get the prompt again
Complete tasks in cheatsy places to stay out of hidden corners
You must swipe the card between 0.5 and 2 seconds and include a fast action for part of it.

Detective tips:
If two players are arguing over who is the killer, and confirming ejects is turned off, then always kill both
Take note of where multi-part tasks start and end, watch for someone doing them out of order
Take note of the direction players leave rooms and do tasks, to get leads on killers
Imposters cannot sabotage next to interactables, unless they already opened their sabotage menu
Even with visual confirmation turned off, you can verify innocence if two have the medbay scan
Admin map! Pay attention
Block cameras with your innocent squishy body, to bait killers into revealing their role
If a fellow crewmate is on cams, dont go on as well, but sit further from the door than them and bait a killer into revealing again

Imposter tips:
IMPORTANT - If there are 6 players left, with 2 imposters, after a meeting both will have the same cooldown, both killing asap will give a victory
If you double kill, dont leave the bodies to be discovered, but try and remove them from the map with false reporting
If lights are out, cameras still see all
If you get caught venting, hop ahead of the crewmate to slash them before they report
When your kill button blinks, your teammate has just killed
When they know its you, use the doors to help your cooldown
When in final 3, dont sabotage instantly but rather wait until the last possible second to press the emergency button before sabotaging
State you are on your way to a place to not be specific during meetings
Or look at the admin map for areas unexplored that game

Its come to my attention that theres been a recent patch to fix the cheatsy spots on Polus... No waterwheel or waterbottle shenanigans anymore!!

More on the card swipe: Higher player movement speeds require faster card swipes, so keep this in mind when switching lobbies.

[katrinamontoya]

"and if you're playing with randoms...god help us all."
yeah-

[ericgreen]

Note: the facing right or left thing does not stay the same for mobile because with the joystick you can switch direction without actually moving edit: this will happen if your finger slips

Your content is very enjoyable. I look forward to seeing you grow.

A tip for Polus: The cameras are always on when someone is on cams, even if they're not looking through it

[cooltrains]

Also if the cam light is on in polus, they aren't necessarily looking at THAT cam. It just means someone is using cameras.

[eggtasticbonail]

The one with the kill button flicker and the admin flicker is gonna be helpful! Thank you so much I love you

[Nightcaat]

6:52 is only true if:
A. The game has been set to 1 Impostor
B. All but 1 Impostor has left the game
Otherwise, it only proves that they were most likely not the cause of _that_ sabotage, because dead Impostors can still sabotage.

[Alphastar]

10:36 oh my gosh, I was always wondering if there was something in game to see if your imposter buddy killed someone. These tips are much more in-depth than the typical guide. Well done!

[lukasbernermatto]

This was surprisingly useful, ive played this game and watched it ALOT but there were several tips that I never knew about, most importantly the one where your kill button flickers if your imposter teammate kills, keep up the good work.

*If someone's facing the right when they come out of medbay they're most likely an imposter*

Me with my zigzags:

[b-fuzzlegaming]

11:08 I wouldn’t recommend staying looking at the button, since your kill cooldown won’t decrease while looking at it. You can instead look at the button timer for a brief second, and compare it to your kill cool down timer, and sabotage based off of that (example there’s 13 seconds until a button can be pressed, your kill cool down has 25 seconds, you can wait to sabotage until your kill cool down is about 12/13 seconds left).

In the cameras I actually use the corner on the books to hide. The impostor wouldn't see me (atleast immediately, unless their eyes are veeeery quick) if they was looking through vents AND if they just came inside. Got some imps from that play.

[justbbricks]

I like how in the start he is watching his most recent video on the TV

[Mosesmw]

You should do one of these specifically for the airship when that comes out.

[weimaramerica]

11:08 bad advice because your kill cooldown doesn't reduce when looking at the button. better to just know the button is 15 seconds and to sabotage after your kill timer has gone down by 13 to 14 seconds

[Ihnele]

Just want to point out that the visual 5:02 can be misleading, I was misinformed enough to believe that you can eject two players at the same time as it shows in the video, but in truth that just turns into a tie and no one gets ejected, so I'm guessing To The Point just edited it like that for visual interpretation.

[MattisticStatistic]

You can click the "Shhh" / "You are an Impostor/Crewmate" screen and begin moving before it finishes. If you memorize the maps well enough, you can get a head start on anyone else and finish your lengthier tasks, such as the wires tasks, much faster.
