Basics
New to Little Nightmares III? This guide breaks down movement, using your lighter, throwing objects, and finding collectibles. Get started safely!
Hey there! So you're diving into the creepy world of Little Nightmares III, huh? It's a fantastic game, but it can be a bit tricky to figure out at first since it doesn't hold your hand with a lot of tutorials. Don't worry, though! I'm here to walk you through the absolute basics so you can navigate Six's (or your character's!) world like a pro and stay safe while you're at it.
Let's get you up to speed on how to move, use your trusty lighter, interact with the environment, and maybe even find some hidden goodies.
Movement: Running, Jumping, and Climbing
You'll be doing a lot more than just walking around. Sometimes, you'll hit obstacles that seem impossible to get over. That's where running, jumping, and climbing come in clutch!
The most fundamental move is jumping and climbing. When you're near something you can climb, press the [Jump/Climb Button]. Six should automatically grab the ledge and pull herself up. If an object is a bit too high, don't worry. Just jump towards the ledge you want to reach and keep holding the [Jump/Climb Button]. This will make her grab on, and then you can pull her up.
Now, what if you're spotted by one of the Maw's less-friendly residents and there's nowhere to hide? Hold down the [Sprint Button]. This lets you bolt away from danger until you find a safe spot or manage to escape. Just a heads-up, though: sprinting isn't always the best move. Sometimes it's better to try and sneak or find a hiding spot first.
The Lighter: Your Beacon in the Dark
From the get-go, you'll notice the Maw is seriously dark and gloomy. Usually, if an area is brightly lit, it means one of the Maw's inhabitants is nearby – definitely not a good sign! Luckily, you start with a lighter. You can use it to light up dark areas or to ignite things like lanterns and candles.
To use your lighter, just press the [Lighter Button]. This will illuminate your surroundings. Keep in mind that while the lighter is out, you won't be able to hold other objects. So, choose your moments wisely!
Throwing Objects: Puzzles and Distractions
A big part of Little Nightmares is figuring out puzzles and avoiding the creepy inhabitants. You'll often need to distract enemies or activate switches by using objects in the environment. Grab a light item, like a toy or a shoe, by pressing the [Grab Button], and then throw it using the [Throw Button]. This is super useful when you feel stuck or can't find a safe path past an enemy.
Collectibles: Nomes and Statues
There are two main types of collectibles you'll be looking for:
- Nomes: These are little gnome-like creatures. They're really shy and will run from you at first, but if you can find them again, you can give them a hug. Once you do, they'll follow you for a bit, and you'll get credit towards certain trophies or achievements.
- Statues: These are geisha statues that look a bit like the Maw's owner. You can smash them by picking them up and throwing them. If you manage to break all 10 statues scattered throughout the game, you'll unlock the Geisha Mask for your character and earn a special trophy or achievement.
Keep these basics in mind, and you'll be navigating the Maw much more confidently. Happy (and safe) gaming!
