Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for Chapter 3 of Little Nightmares, guiding you through the kitchen, finding collectibles, and earning the 'Kitchen Hand' trophy.

After waking in the vent, turn on your lighter and climb the ladder nearby and then run right and use the wrapped body to grab one of the hooks as it passes.

Once you're dropped into the room with even more bodies, continue right and become overwhelmed with hunger and then attack the rat stuck in a trap in the next room. With your hunger under control, climb the metal containers on the right to another room and then climb another set of containers with a lid leaning against them to push the lid right and create a path forward. Pass over the last set of containers, but don't exit to the right just yet. Instead, walk toward the screen and left to find a hidden ventilation shaft entrance that leads to a Statue [05/10] and then climb up the ladder on the right.

Pass through the double doors and move the cart to the window on the right and then climb onto the cart and drop into the pantry. If you want to get the missable trophy/achievement in the kitchen, you'll need to toss three ingredients into the cooking pot while avoiding the cook.

Start by grabbing a carrot from the pantry and heading right into the room with the cook and then crouch and pass under the table he's working at. There's a chance that the cook will be alerted when you pass under the table and try and grab you, at which point you'll want to run through a hole on the right to enter the main kitchen area and hide in the right corner of the first cooking station.

The cook will follow you into the main cooking area, but provided you stay under the small table with a ladle you'll be safe from being spotted or grabbed. Wait for the cook to go about his routine and when he moves to the back of the room, walk to the pot on the stove in the back of the room and toss the carrot in the stew. Return to the safe area beneath the small table and wait for the cook to move once again and then grab the fish head beneath the larger table on the right and return to the safe spot.

The cook should now move to the right side of the room and grab some spices, turning his back to the stew, so run forward and toss the fish head into the stew. Quickly run all the way toward the screen and hide by a crate with some wine bottle and a piece of cheese, or return to the safe location if you're spotted. You'll now need to wait for the cook to turn his back once again to hop up and grab the cheese and return to the safe spot and then wait for a clear opportunity to toss in the cheese to complete the stew for the Trophy/Achievement: Kitchen Hand.

With your work done in the kitchen, make sure the cook is looking away and then head under the large table and up the stairs on the right to a locked door. Climb the white cabinet at the back of the room and jump to the rafters and then follow them to the other side and climb the mesh cages to pass into the upstairs area.

Make sure to climb on the toilets to reach the shelf with a candle, which you should light, before exiting the bathroom and then head all the way left into the cook's bedroom. Avoid the music box on the floor, as it will wake the cook sleeping, and jump onto the shelf above the radiator and then grab onto the key and swing back and forth until it's free. Quickly hide under the bed, as the noise from the fall will wake the cook, and wait for him to leave the room and then grab the key.

Exit the bedroom and drop the key near the steps to the elevator and then return to the bathroom and hug the Nome [07/13] that now appears in the corner. You can now return to the stairs and grab the key and then pull the lever next to the elevator to return to the kitchen with the key.

Upon returning to the kitchen, you'll notice a Nome running left into the pantry. Drop the key in the hall and enter the pantry to spot a jumping jar and then toss it to release the Nome [08/13]. Quickly hug the Nome to "collect" it and then hide beneath the shelves with the ingredients, as the breaking of the jar has drawn the attention of one of the cooks. You can now wait for the cook to leave before returning to the hall with the elevator and then grab the key and carefully make your way through the kitchen to the locked door.

Unlock the door and climb onto the table with the cleaver and then crawl through the hole into a sausage-making room. There's nothing to do here right now, but if you look under the table you'll find another Nome [09/13] that you can hug before climbing into the dumbwaiter to travel up to the freezer.

Your objective in this room is to find two pieces of meat in the room and move them onto the trap door in the floor, which already has one piece of meat on it. The first piece of meat is in the corner of the table beneath the dumbwaiter, so pull it away from the wall and then push it to the floor and move it over the trap door. The second piece is a bit harder to spot, as it hangs from one of the hooks on the ceiling. Climb the shelves on the left wall to reach the top of the cabinet and then swing from the first hook to the meat and grab on to pull it down, placing it over the trap door.

Before leaving the freezer, check the right side of the room to spot a hatch that you can climb through and then light another lantern and make sure to smash the Statue [06/10] in the corner. Return downstairs via the dumbwaiter and pull the lever hanging from the ceiling to release the meat, dropping them into the sausage machine, and then turn the lever on the machine to create 3 sausage links. You can now jump and grab the links to swing to the hole on the right side of the room and then pass through the vents to another freezer area.

Exit the freezer to find another locked door, which you'll need to find the key for, and pull the lever near the elevator and then quickly return to the freezer and hide in c
