Survive Bikini Bottom Resident Rescue Checklist
Tick the gates in order. Do not invent a sixth friend.
Print this mentally. Survive Bikini Bottom only asks you to walk five people home. The full rescue guide explains fights. This tool is the table you glance at when someone in chat says “we can skip to Bob.”
Master list
| Done? | Hive | Resident | Landmark | Must have |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ☐ | 2 | Mr. Krabs | Krusty Krab | Daylight, key from nearby enemy |
| ☐ | 3 | Squidward | Chum Bucket Warehouse | Food, lure, not a night walk |
| ☐ | 4 | Sandy | Treedome | Win the hostile fight first, saved damage |
| ☐ | 5 | Patrick | Boating School | Three keys on towers/stairs |
| ☐ | 6 | SpongeBob | Chum Bucket maze | Helmets/keys, reserved ketchup or guitar, pad you can steer |
If a box is unchecked, the next box is not available. Fog is not a bug.
Pre-flight for every escort
- Hive meter healthy (this is also Sea Bear insurance)
- Compass crafted (workbench)
- One empty bag slot or a drag plan (controls)
- One kite assigned if you have a squad (solo versus team)
- Sky still day
After each tick
Expect the day counter to jump and the next raid to be louder. Feed jelly before you celebrate. Do Mailman deliveries on the walk back if the bag is already out.
Callouts you can paste
- “Hive 2, Krabs only.”
- “Three Patrick keys, I have one.”
- “Sandy is still hostile, do not bag her.”
- “Meter yellow, cancel walk.”
- “Maze loadout: two mags or guitar, one pad.”
If a teammate answers with a sixth name, send them this table. If they answer with a script toggle, send them the Scripts Hub warning and play without them.
Failed walks do not get a half-tick. A resident left in a doorway is a retry, not a badge. The day counter only jumps when the hive accepts the handoff. That is why this checklist is picky about the last ten meters.
Keep a mental note of which police station you already emptied for spatulas so the next escort does not detour into a dry building. Stations are marked on many maps once the fog is gone; they are not residents.
Not on this list
Mailman, Sea Bear, random chest NPCs, class shop mannequins. If it is not one of the five, do not escort it.

Keep the table in the order printed. Reordering it because a video showed Patrick early is how squads waste a dusk. The video was already at hive 5. You can see that in the fog if you look.
After SpongeBob ticks, the list is done. There is no secret sixth box. Start a new run or switch to raid defense. Inventing more residents is how people walk into fog for fun and call it content. Tick in daylight. Argue in the lobby. Never argue in the maze.
If the table and a teammate disagree, the table wins until a Friday note says otherwise. That is the point of writing the gates down. Memory is how people walk Sandy at hive 3 and call the game broken.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
Can I rescue Patrick before Sandy?
Not if hive gates still match the live game. Level 4 is Sandy, level 5 is Patrick.
What if the compass points at fog?
You are under the required hive level. Feed jelly instead of walking the shore.
Do I tick a box if the resident died on the walk?
No. They have to reach the hive. Retry in daylight.
