  • The Telephone Cord still offers its environment-execution promptExecution
  • Wear the SheetChallenge

How to Perform the Telephone Cord Execution

  1. Keep Lynda available

    Do not finish Lynda with another method if you are attempting Challenge 3.

    Challenge

  2. Reach the Telephone Cord setup

    Use the Telephone Cord environment object. A nearby weapon kill is a different action.

    Execution

  3. Wear the Sheet

    Challenge 3 names this extra condition. Completing the animation without it may still leave the Challenge incomplete.

    Challenge

  4. Trigger the environment execution

    Use the object’s own contextual prompt. Do not use a regular weapon attack beside it.

    Execution

  5. Confirm the Phone Cord Choke animation plays

    The Challenge only has a chance to count after this specific contextual animation, not a generic kill.

    Execution

What Counts for The Babysitters Challenge 3?

Counts

  • The kill is triggered through the object’s contextual promptExecution
  • The object is the Telephone CordExecution
  • For Challenge 3, the target is LyndaChallenge
  • For Challenge 3, Wear the SheetChallenge

Does not count

  • A normal weapon kill beside the Telephone CordExecution
  • A different environment object or setupExecution
  • The same prompt on a different target, for Challenge 3Challenge
  • Phone Cord Choke without “Wear the Sheet”, for Challenge 3Challenge

The execution can be correct while a Challenge requirement is still missing.

Why Isn't the Telephone Cord Prompt Appearing?

  1. 01

    Are you at the Telephone Cord?

    The Challenge names this object. A different contextual prompt does not substitute for it.

  2. 02

    Are you using the environment-execution prompt?

    A regular attack next to the object is not the same action as the object’s own prompt.

  3. 03

    If you are doing Challenge 3, is Lynda still available?

    Challenge 3 names Lynda. That restriction belongs to the Challenge, not to every use of this execution.

  4. 04

    Does the object still offer a prompt?

    If this setup no longer offers its prompt, return to a state before it was used only when that one-use behaviour is confirmed for this execution.

Why Didn't Challenge 3 Count?

  1. 01

    Did the correct contextual animation play?

    If a generic kill played instead, the environment execution did not trigger.

  2. 02

    Did Challenge 3 require this exact execution?

    A different context execution in the same chapter does not satisfy it.

  3. 03

    Was the target Lynda?

    For Challenge 3, a matching animation on someone else does not complete the Challenge.

  4. 04

    Wear the Sheet

    The animation can still play while Challenge 3 stays incomplete.

  5. 05

    Everything matched?

    Open Challenge 3 for Challenge tracking notes. Performing the execution is not the same as marking the Challenge complete.

Phone Cord Choke FAQ

Who do I use the Telephone Cord on?
For The Babysitters Challenge 3: Lynda. That is a Challenge restriction. This page does not treat Phone Cord Choke as a Lynda-only mechanic in every encounter.
Is a normal kill next to the Telephone Cord enough?
No. The environment execution needs the object’s own contextual prompt. A regular weapon kill beside the same object is a different action.
Wear the Sheet
For The Babysitters Challenge 3: yes. Phone Cord Choke can still play as an execution while the Challenge stays incomplete if this condition is missing.
Does marking this execution as performed complete the Challenge?
No. The local execution checklist is only for context executions you have performed. Challenge completion is tracked separately.
