Bendy and the Ink Machine Bacon Soup Locations Guide

Chapter 1: Moving Pictures

One overlooked can can leave a whole chapter’s collectible achievement unfinished. These Bendy and the Ink Machine bacon soup locations help you organize your search before the studio pushes you into the next area. Work through the Bendy and the Ink Machine bacon soup locations chapter by chapter, checking shelves, corners, and stairways before moving on.

Bacon Soup serves two purposes: collecting it contributes to achievements, and consuming a can fully restores Henry’s health. Henry eats the soup when you interact with it, so collection happens immediately rather than filling an inventory.

Clear stacked cans from the top down. Henry cannot consume a can while another can sits directly above it. If a visible can refuses to disappear, check the stack before walking away.

Split your search around the floor collapse

The v1.5.0.0–v1.5.1.0 collection route contains 21 cans in Chapter 1. Nineteen are available during the workshop’s exploration section, before you turn on the Ink Machine. The remaining two come after Henry falls through the floor.

Collectible group	Area	Location or search boundary	Collection tip
19 cans	Upper workshop	Exploration areas before activating the Ink Machine	Finish your sweep before turning on the machine
Theater can	Theater	Inside the theater; part of the upper workshop search	Include this room in your checklist
2 cans	Lower section	After falling through the floor	Search as you progress through the flooded areas

Use the six-item Ink Machine objective as your opportunity to search the upper workshop carefully. You already need to explore for the ritual objects, so inspect the surrounding shelves and surfaces during those trips.

Once the machine is running, approaching its blocked entrance triggers the Ink Demon encounter and the escape sequence. Finish the upper workshop collection before committing to that progression.

After the fall, keep searching while draining the ink and working toward the axe. Those last two cans belong to the lower section; revisiting the theater will not solve a shortfall there.

Chapter 1 checklist:

• Collect 19 cans before activating the Ink Machine.
• Include the theater in your search.
• Collect two more after the floor collapse.
• Unlock A Taste of Home.

For these Bendy and the Ink Machine bacon soup locations, the useful distinction is before the collapse versus after it. Keep separate tallies so a missed upper-floor can does not send you searching the basement repeatedly.

Chapter 2: The Old Song

Chapter 2 spreads its soup across several progression stages. For the v1.5.0.0–v1.5.1.0 route, the target is 31 cans: 23 before opening the initial shutter, six during the drainage objective, and two after Henry is knocked out.

Organize your Bendy and the Ink Machine bacon soup locations checklist around those boundaries. A room-by-room search helps, but a running subtotal also tells you whether you should advance.

Collection stage	Can count	Places to inspect	Search checkpoint
Before the initial shutter opens	23	Starting exploration area, including shelving near the T-shaped corridor	Reach 23 before opening the shutter
While draining the lower level	6	Music writers’ room desk and Wally’s closet belong on your room checklist	Search accessible rooms during the objective
After Henry is knocked out	2	Ritual room corner and S3 vault entrance	Collect one before the chase and one afterward

Search through the objective route

Pay attention to the shelf near the T-shaped corridor and the desk in the music writers’ room. Soup placed among ordinary studio clutter is easy to overlook when you are concentrating on finding keys or solving the musical puzzle.

Wally’s closet also deserves a deliberate check once you obtain the keys. Search for cans while visiting it for the recording rather than leaving the room immediately after listening.

The final pair needs a different mindset. Once Henry escapes captivity, inspect the ritual room corner before committing to the chase. Afterward, check the S3 vault entrance as you approach the chapter’s closing encounter.

Do not use the can rolling away near Boris as your collection checkpoint. Keep your tally focused on the cans you interact with and consume.

Chapter 2 checklist:

• Reach 23 cans before opening the initial shutter.
• Collect six during the lower-level drainage section.
• Collect the post-captivity can before the chase.
• Collect the remaining can after the chase.
• Unlock Canadian Bacon.

Chapter 3: Rise and Fall

Chapter 3 has 42 cans in the v1.5.0.0–v1.5.1.0 route, with 19 in the stairways. That stairway group deserves its own tally: it accounts for nearly half the chapter’s collection.

The opening safehouse also contains a timing trap. You need three cans to cook soup for Boris, but the safehouse collection totals four. The fourth appears in the bathroom after you open the exit.

Area	Can count	Location detail	Collection tip
Starting safehouse	4	Includes a bathroom can that appears after opening the exit	Recheck the bathroom before leaving
Outside the safehouse	4	Opening section beyond the safehouse	Keep this subtotal separate
Dark path	4	Dark passage section	Search while progressing with Boris
Level K	2	Within Level K	Check during your visits
Level 9	2	Rooms beyond the “She’s Quite a Gal!” sign	Explore past the sign
Level 11	2	Room where you first see the Projectionist	Inspect the room
Level P	5	Across Level P	Count separately from stairway cans
Stairways	19	Throughout the stairwell routes	Sweep each stretch systematically

Finish the safehouse before leaving

Collect the three cans needed for Boris, cook his soup, and open the exit. Then return to the bathroom for the newly appearing can before departing.

The safehouse door locks after you leave. Complete that return trip while the interior is still accessible; the cooking objective alone does not finish the safehouse’s soup collection.

Give the stairways their own sweep

When tracking Bendy and the Ink Machine bacon soup locations in Chapter 3, separate stairway cans from floor-specific cans. Otherwise, a pickup beside a landing can blur your totals for Level K, Level 9, or Level P.

Use each landing as a visual checkpoint. Inspect the steps and surrounding surfaces before continuing, and record your stairway subtotal independently.

Some soup cans elsewhere in the chapter serve as candle holders. Look closely at the object itself rather than assuming every familiar can shape is an ordinary food pickup.

Finish your remaining collectible search before handing Alice the final ink hearts. That hand-in commits you to the chapter’s ending sequence.

Chapter 3 checklist:

• Collect all four safehouse cans, including the later bathroom can.
• Collect four outside the safehouse and four on the dark path.
• Finish the Level K, Level 9, Level 11, and Level P groups.
• Count all 19 stairway cans.
• Finish searching before returning the final hearts.
• Unlock Bring Home the Bacon.

Chapter 4: Colossal Wonders

Chapter 4’s Bendy and the Ink Machine bacon soup locations follow the journey from the Archives to the Haunted House. Keep checking through the final encounter: reaching the ride does not finish the collection.

Research and Design needs particular attention. Search upstairs and inspect the left hallway’s shelving, including the bottom shelf.

Area or route segment	Location detail	Collection tip
Before Archives	Two cans before entering Archives	Finish the opening sweep first
Archives	One can inside	Search during your visit
Ink pool	One can behind the pool	Inspect beyond the pool
Beyond the bridge	Two cans before entering the vent	Check this stretch before crawling onward
Vent exit	One can after leaving the vent	Search before continuing
Storage 9	One can inside	Include it in your room sweep
Research and Design	Two upstairs, plus cans along the left hallway shelving	Inspect the bottom shelf
Attraction Storage	Four cans	Search the area around its encounter
Maintenance	Two cans	Check during your circuit through the area
Haunted House	One can before the ride	Collect before boarding
Boss arena	One can inside	Keep searching during the final encounter

Search between the attraction objectives

Attraction Storage and Maintenance contain multiple cans, so finding one does not finish either area. Keep those subtotals visible while restoring power to the Haunted House.

In Attraction Storage, activating the audio log begins the Bertrum fight. Inspect the accessible area before starting the encounter so you have less to track while managing the ride’s attacks.

Research and Design is another place to slow down. Check both the upstairs section and the left hallway; a glance at the upper shelves leaves the bottom shelf unchecked.

Before boarding the Haunted House ride, collect the can in its entrance area. Leave a final box open on your checklist for the can in the boss arena.

Chapter 4 checklist:

• Sweep the route through Archives, the ink pool, bridge, and vent.
• Check Storage 9 and Research and Design.
• Collect four cans in Attraction Storage and two in Maintenance.
• Collect the pre-ride can and the boss-arena can.
• Unlock Just Like Mom Used To Make.

Chapter 5: The Last Reel

The final chapter has seven cans, split between the starting prison and Administration. These Bendy and the Ink Machine bacon soup locations give you two compact searches to finish.

Area	Can count	Exact location	Collection tip
Starting prison	3	On a shelf	Clear the shelf completely
Starting prison	1	Beside a bed	Check separately from the shelf
Administration	1	On a bench near Joey Drew’s office	Collect during your office-area search
Administration	2	In the small room opposite	Enter the room and collect both

Collect all four prison cans before leaving the opening room. Three share a shelf, while the fourth sits by a bed, making it easy to mistake the shelf group for the entire opening collection.

Administration contains the final three. Use Joey Drew’s office as your landmark: find the bench can nearby, then search the small room opposite for two more.

The Butcher Gang patrols Administration during the pipe objective. Plan the soup detour around their movement, and inspect the target room carefully so you do not need repeated visits.

Chapter 5 checklist:

• Collect three cans from the prison shelf.
• Collect the can beside the bed.
• Collect the bench can near Joey Drew’s office.
• Collect both cans in the opposite room.
• Unlock No Need for a Spoon.

Earning all five chapter-specific Bacon Soup achievements unlocks Master of Bacon. Use those chapter achievements to identify which part of your collection still needs attention.

Another can directly above it blocks collection. Consume the upper can first, then work down the stack.

Where is the fourth safehouse can in Chapter 3?

It appears in the bathroom after you open the safehouse exit. Return for it before leaving, because the safehouse door locks behind you.

Does one Bacon Soup can fully heal Henry?

Yes. Consuming one can completely restores Henry’s health, even when he is close to dying.
