In Little Nightmares 3, you accompany Low (slingshot) and Alone (tool) through four dark chapters. This guide shows you all the collectibles & locations for the 100% completion – without spoilers, with clear landmarks and practical routes.
100% made easy: preparation & systematics
After the first run through of Little Nightmares 3 you unlock the chapter select. This allows you to repeat each chapter individually and catch up on missing collectibles – nothing in the game can be missed permanently. All items already found remain saved, even if you restart the sections.
The locations are identical in the solo and co-op versions. In co-op mode, certain actions such as lever pulls, doors or platform mechanisms can be performed slightly faster, while the AI partner character reacts with a delay of 1-2 seconds in the solo game. Progress remains fully synchronized in both modes.
For an efficient 100% route, we recommend the following collection sequence per area: first the Dolls, then optional Lady statues, Crows and Nomes, and finally the Ghosts, if they appear in the chapter. In this way, you use natural routes, reduce backtracking and maintain the flow of the game.
There are a total of 58 collectibles in Little Nightmares III: 25 Dolls, 11 Crows, 6 Nomes, 10 Lady Statues and 6 Ghosts. The integrated progress counter in the menu shows you at all times how many objects have already been discovered per chapter – ideal for planning your route and 100% completion.
Chapter 1 – Necropolis (Machine City)
Setting: living alcoves, workshops, deep shafts. In this chapter you will find all 11 Crows and the first 5 Dolls (no Nomes/Lady/Ghosts here).
