Your friendly guide to Little Nightmares! We'll walk you through every chapter, from The Prison to The Lady's Quarters, with tips and tricks to help you survive.

Hey there! Ready to dive into the creepy world of Little Nightmares? I'm here to guide you through it, step-by-step. Think of me as your buddy right beside you, pointing out the way. We'll tackle this together!

This walkthrough covers the main game, from the unsettling start in Chapter 1: The Prison all the way to the chilling conclusion in Chapter 5: The Lady's Quarters. We'll also touch on the DLC chapters from Secrets of the Maw, so you won't miss a thing.

Along the way, we'll be keeping an eye out for all those hidden collectibles, so you can snag those trophies and achievements. Don't worry if some parts seem tough; I'll give you the heads-up on tricky spots and share some strategies that worked for me.

Let's get started and uncover the mysteries of The Maw!

Chapter 1: The Prison

Alright, first things first. After you kick off a New Game and watch the intro, you'll wake up on a trunk in a dark, damp corner of this place called The Maw. It's pretty creepy, right?

As soon as you can move, head to the right down the dark corridor. You'll want to hold down the run button (that's ![](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/faqs/89/74789-16.png)/![](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/faqs/89/74789-23.png) on your controller) to pick up the pace. To see where you're going, you'll need your lighter. Flick it on with ![](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/faqs/89/74789-11.png)/![](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/faqs/89/74789-19.png). Keep moving right until you reach a dead end with a lantern. Get close to it, and it'll light up, helping you progress and working towards the 'Light Up Your Life' trophy/achievement. Just to the right of the lantern, you'll see a hatch. Grab onto it by holding ![](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/faqs/89/74789-13.png)/![](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/faqs/89/74789-22.png) and pull away to open it. Then, hold ![](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/faqs/89/74789-9.png)/![](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/faqs/89/74789-20.png) to crawl through the vent. It's a tight squeeze, but it's the only way forward!

Once you pop out the other side, follow the path to the right, up a staircase. You'll find a small alcove with a Statue [01/10]. Go ahead and grab it by holding ![](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/faqs/89/74789-13.png).
