No

Unlocked by

21.16% of players

21.16% have it, a high figure because Little Nightmares III is short and has no missable or difficulty-based trophies: it is all secrets and collectibles you can go back for with chapter select.

«You're not rattled that easily» · Child's Play

96.66% have it, the most common achievement in the game: it lands just for finishing the first stretch.

Before moving on, note that this chapter holds the first 5 dolls of the game's 25, the 14 crows for Birdbrained and the giant baby for Peekaboo. Nothing is missable — chapter select brings you back — but doing it in one pass saves a whole return trip.

«Survived the most pressing of situations» · Unsupervised

You survived the most pressing of situations. At 88.02% it pops practically on its own.

Unlocked by

79.21% of players

79.21% have it. It's the longest chapter and by far the most trophy-dense: it holds 10 of the 25 dolls, the 6 Nomes, the 10 Lady statues, the piano, the shooting range and the caged boy.

If you're going for the platinum, this is the chapter you'll come back to. Worth bringing the collectibles list from the start rather than replaying it twice.

«A twisted mind unraveled» · Spiral Out

Complete Chapter 4, the last one.

74.53% of players

74.53% have it. This is where the remaining 5 dolls, the 5 ghosts and the reality-altering doll for Illuminating Experiences live.

Finishing it with one character doesn't close the story: the game wants two playthroughs, one as Low and one as Alone, each with its own ending and its own gold achievement.

«The real memories are the friend you made along the way» · Low-Spirited

Complete every chapter playing as Low, the one with the bow and black hair.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

48.36% of players

One of the two character golds. The game is built to be played twice, once per protagonist, and that's the only way to unlock both endings.

48.36% have it: fewer than half do the second run. In Low's playthrough, use the chance for Bullseye, which wants the bow used 50 times and only counts with her.

«...But to be is to have been» · From Nowhere, With Love

Complete every chapter playing as Alone, the one with the wrench and orange hair.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

51.15% of players

The other character gold, and the counterpart to Low's. 51.15% have it, almost three points higher: plenty of players start with Alone.

This run is where Spanner in the Works happens, which wants the wrench used 50 times and can't be done as Low. If you collected everything on the first run, this second one is just story and character ability.

«There is no bond as strong as this» · Special Connection

Complete Chapter 4 in online co-op.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

46.91% of players

Two important warnings. One: there's no matchmaking, so you have to invite someone directly; the game won't find you a partner. Two: local co-op doesn't count, it has to be online.

46.91% have it and it's, alongside the other online achievement, what most players leave hanging. If you have someone to play with, do it when you reach Chapter 4 in either run.

«You can always call on me» · Hello?

Call your partner 50 times by pressing triangle.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

85.94% of players

It's the action that calls the other character, the one Low and Alone use to orient themselves. It doesn't have to achieve anything: every press counts.

85.94% have it because you call constantly while playing. If you're short at the end, press triangle fifty times in a row somewhere safe and it's done.

«We're connected, you and I» · Guiding Hands

Hold your partner's hand for 5 minutes in total.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

33.06% of players

The time is cumulative, not consecutive: it doesn't have to be in one go. And it doesn't matter who leads.

33.06% have it, well below the other gesture achievements, because holding hands slows you down and almost nobody does it for fun. If you're short, take the hand and walk for five minutes somewhere safe.

«I can be quite handy when I want to be» · Spanner in the Works

Use the wrench 50 times. It's Alone's gear, so this achievement can only be earned in his playthrough.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

27.24% of players

Every use counts, whether it solves anything or not: whacking a wall is worth as much as opening a mechanism.

27.24% have it, one of the rarest in the game, and the reason is that it's easy to lose: anyone who only plays Low's run can never get it. If you're going for the platinum, spend some time on it early in Alone's playthrough.

«You gotta aim high» · Bullseye

Use the bow 50 times. It's Low's gear, so this achievement only counts in her playthrough.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

55.18% of players

The exact mirror of Spanner in the Works: every shot counts, hit or miss. You don't have to hit anything.

55.18% have it, almost double the wrench, because the bow sees more use during the game. Still, if you're short at the end, fire into the air until you reach fifty.

«There's a twinkle in that eye» · Peekaboo

Survive all 9 encounters with the giant baby in Chapter 1 without dying once.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

31.14% of players

That's the whole difficulty: it isn't clearing the sequence, it's clearing it clean. One death during the stretch and you start over.

31.14% have it. It replays through chapter select without limit, so if you die on the ninth, go again: Chapter 1 is the shortest in the game.

«Just don't open it indoors» · The Windy City

Open the umbrella at the last second before landing, in Chapter 1.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

45.73% of players

It's a timing achievement: opening early slows the fall and doesn't count. You have to let yourself drop and open it just before impact.

45.73% have it. Like everything in Chapter 1, it repeats as often as you like through chapter select.

«Always ruffling feathers» · Birdbrained

Shoot down 11 of the 14 crows in Chapter 1.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

41.97% of players

You don't need all fourteen: eleven is enough. They're spread across the whole chapter, and several sit in spots where you have to stop and look rather than pass through.

41.97% have it. Worth doing on your first pass through Chapter 1: it's short, but coming back just for the crows is a full return trip.

«You're heading for a shock» · Capital Punishment

Activate the button in the power section of Chapter 3.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

47.06% of players

It's an optional interaction the game never flags: you have to spot it and press it. The description — you're heading for a shock — is the only hint on offer.

47.06% have it. It's in the same chapter as the piano, the caged boy and the shooting range, so if you're going back, do them all in one pass.

«Ready or not, here I come» · Home Sweet Nome

Hug all 6 Nomes in Chapter 3.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

30.65% of players

Finding them isn't enough: you have to hug them. They're a separate collectible from the dolls and only exist in this chapter.

30.65% have it. Nomes are shy and bolt if you walk straight at them, so approach slowly. Do them alongside the chapter's 10 dolls and 10 statues.

«Are you taking notes?» · Stay Tuned

Play the piano in the dark corridor of Chapter 3.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

46.28% of players

An optional interaction with no prompt and easy to walk past: the corridor is unlit and the piano doesn't draw the eye.

46.28% have it. Playing it is enough; there's no melody to get right.

«Look on the bright side» · Light or Flight

Pick up the flashlight early in Chapter 3.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

86.20% of players

One of the earliest and most straightforward achievements in the game: it sits in the chapter's opening stretch and you just take it.

86.2% have it, the second most common on the list. If you walked past it, come back through chapter select: it's two minutes.

«Nothing but net (profits)» · Another One in the Bag

Sink the ball in the hoop in Chapter 2.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

30.47% of players

An optional aiming interaction with no prompt at all: the hoop is there and it's on you to decide to throw.

30.47% have it. You can retry as many times as you like until it drops: no penalty and no shot limit.

«Rotting from the inside, delicious on the outside» · Unsavory Delicacies

Throw 3 candies at the bugs in Chapter 2.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

34.08% of players

Three, not one: it's a counter within the same chapter. The candies are throwable objects scattered around the factory.

34.08% have it. It's in the same chapter as the hoop for Another One in the Bag and the 5 dolls, so one well-run pass closes all three.

«Far or near, she can make us fear» · Omnipresence

Destroy the 10 Lady statues in Chapter 3.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

30.36% of players

They're a collectible you break rather than pick up, and they're all in this chapter. The description — far or near, she can make us fear — refers to the Lady they depict.

30.36% have it. Along with the 10 dolls and the 6 Nomes, they're Chapter 3's third list: do them together or you'll walk the chapter three times.

«From store to (cage) door» · Delivery Feed

Give the sausage to the caged boy in Chapter 3.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

33.79% of players

You have to find the sausage first and then carry it all the way to the cage. The description says it outright: from store to cage door.

33.79% have it. It's one of the few achievements in the game that requires carrying an object somewhere else, which is exactly why it slips: pick the sausage up, drop it on the way, and you don't get it.

«Win a prize every time» · Aim Low (and Alone)

Light all 9 lights at the shooting range in Chapter 3.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

68.05% of players

Nine targets, all to be hit in the same session. The range sits in the chapter's funfair stretch.

68.05% have it, fairly high for an aiming achievement: you can retry without penalty until all nine go down.

«The gift of second sight» · Illuminating Experiences

Pick up the reality-altering doll in Chapter 4.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

76.85% of players

It isn't one of the 25 collectible dolls: it's a specific object in this chapter that changes what you see the moment you take it. Hence the description, the gift of second sight.

76.85% have it because it's on the path and hard to miss.

«The Kids Aren't Alright» · Institutionalized

It is one of the few base-game trophies that puts up a fight, at 29.97%.

Category

No

Unlocked by

29.97% of players

«You've stayed at arm's length» · Hand-Eye Coordination

At 23.73% it is the base-game trophy the fewest people have, ahead of only the platinum itself. It is the last wall before you close out the list.

«Playtime's over now» · Toybox

Find the 5 dolls in Chapter 1.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

35.45% of players

Worth grasping the system once: the five collectible achievements are all the same thing — dolls — split by chapter. There are 25 in total: 5 in Chapter 1, 5 in Chapter 2, 10 in Chapter 3 and 5 in Chapter 4. All 25 together give you Loose Threads.

35.45% have it. The trophy names mislead because each borrows its chapter's theme, but what you're hunting never changes.

«Sweets for my sweet» · Candy Shop

Find the 5 dolls in Chapter 2.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

32.49% of players

Same collectible as the previous chapter, even though the trophy name talks about sweets: in Little Nightmares III every collectible in this series is a doll, only the setting changes.

32.49% have it. This chapter also holds the hoop for Another One in the Bag and the bugs for Unsavory Delicacies, which wants 3 candies thrown at them.

«You hit the jackpot» · Token Gestures

Find the 10 dolls in Chapter 3. It's the chapter with the most: ten of the twenty-five.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

30.10% of players

30.1% have it, not because it's hard but because of volume: Chapter 3 is long and the dolls are spread right across it.

Do it alongside the chapter's other collectibles — the 6 Nomes and the 10 Lady statues — because all three cover the same areas, and splitting them means replaying the chapter three times.

«Nothing left in the medicine cabinet» · Filed Away

Find the 5 dolls in Chapter 4, the last of the 25.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

31.40% of players

The description mentions a medicine cabinet because the chapter is set in a medical institute, but the collectible is the same as everywhere else: dolls.

31.4% have it. This chapter also holds the 5 ghosts, a separate collectible with its own achievement.

«Little shapes of big things to come» · Loose Threads

Find all 25 dolls in the game: the 5 in Chapter 1, the 5 in Chapter 2, the 10 in Chapter 3 and the 5 in Chapter 4.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

28.31% of players

It's the collectibles gold and 28.31% have it, the rarest in the base game.

Good news: none of them is missable. Chapter select takes you back to any segment as many times as you like, so a doll you walked past doesn't mean starting over.

«Survive until the curtain call» · Exit Stage Fright

Survive until the curtain call. It belongs to The Backstage DLC and does not count towards the platinum. At 9.33% it is one of the rarest in the game.
