Follow our walkthrough for Little Nightmares III's The Lair to find all Nomes and Statues, and overcome every challenge in this spooky chapter.

Alright, so you've made it to The Lair! This place is a bit of a maze, but don't worry, I'll guide you through finding all the little guys and those sneaky statues. Let's get started!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Nome [4]: Right at the start, head up the stairs into the first bulkhead. You'll see a Nome hiding under the office desk. To get him out, drag the chair over the black smudge on the floor. This will open the door nearby. Head inside, go around the machine, and scare the Nome again. Now, you can leave the bulkhead, go up another set of stairs, and you'll find him waiting in a corner.
  2. 2
    Statue [3]: This one's in the butcher's bedroom. First, climb up onto the toilet, then jump sideways to grab onto the cabinet drawers. Shimmy your way up the cabinet and then jump to the shelf on the left. The statue should be right there.
  3. 3
    Nome [5]: After you manage to escape the butcher in his prep area (phew!), crawl through the vents. You'll find some luggage and a lantern. Keep an eye out for a ladder in the corner; climb that, and you'll find this Nome ready for a hug.
  4. 4
    Statue [4]: Okay, this part involves riding the elevator up with the butcher. Once you're up there, move the alphabet blocks to the left. Go towards the monkey toy, and it'll cause you to drop under the floorboards. Follow the path to the right until you reach a bigger area. The statue is tucked away in the back corner.
  5. 5
    Nome [6]: In the library section, you'll need to crawl under a table near the bookshelf. This will scare a Nome out. Follow him – he'll lead you to the left-most stack of books. Go ahead and give him a hug!
Tips
  • Keep an eye out for those black smudges on the floor; they're usually key to opening new paths.
  • Don't be afraid to backtrack a little if you think you missed something. Sometimes the Nomes or statues are hidden just out of sight.
  • The butcher can be pretty intimidating, but remember to use the environment to your advantage when you need to escape!
