The Screwdriver is an item in Granny that was added in Version 1.1..
Appearance
The Screwdriver is a flat-head screwdriver with a blue and black hexagonal handle. The shank and the blade of the screwdriver both appear very weathered, implying that the screwdriver is somewhat old.
Uses
The Screwdriver is required to unlock a little compartment located on the Secret Area bottom floor, located inside of the stairway and relatively close to the Basement tunnel. An item useful for the player's escape will always be found inside.
If Extra Locks or Extreme mode is on, it is also required to get the Backyard Lever in the Backyard.
Spawning
It always spawns on a shelf near the ceiling of the second floor, just above the stairs and to the right of the Main Door. To knock it down, you need either the Crossbow and one of the Tranquilizer Darts, obtainable with the Weapon Key, or the Shotgun and ammo, obtainable by bringing all three shotgun pieces down into the Garage. Or you can use the following glitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEuNPsIAwQ0
The Screwdriver has no other usage, but it is still important because it's one of the hardest items to obtain, along with the freeze trap.
Trivia
- As of Version 1.5, the Gasoline Can sometimes can be found on the shelf next to the Screwdriver.
- If this happens, the Shotgun may no longer be a viable option to get the Screwdriver because it may explode the Gasoline Can in the process. This only matters if you want to escape via the Car.
- There is a glitch where it can be obtained by throwing the Vase through the Bathroom wall in a very specific spot, which can clip through the wall, knocking the can down from the shelf with the Screwdriver inside.
- The Screwdriver isn't required on Item Preset 3 if the player wishes to escape with the Car, as:
- The Screwdriver Safe contains the Playhouse Key.
- The Cogwheel Safe contains the Master Key, which is not needed to escape in the Car.
