Little Nightmares 3 Platinum Roadmap & Trophy Guide

This guide covers the Little Nightmares 3 Platinum trophy roadmap, including a full trophy list, step-by-step walkthrough order, difficulty, and estimated time to 100% completion. You’ll learn the fastest route to unlock every trophy, which collectibles to watch for, and how to avoid missing any missable trophies on your first playthrough.

Game Overview and Trophy Breakdown

Little Nightmares 3 is a puzzle-platformer horror game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It continues the series’ signature eerie atmosphere, following two new characters, Low and Alone, as they navigate the Spiral. The game features both solo play (with AI companion) and two-player online co-op. The trophy list includes 26 trophies: 1 Platinum, 7 Gold, 10 Silver, and 8 Bronze. There is no difficulty-related trophy, and no online-only trophies beyond the co-op requirement for a few.

Platinum Difficulty and Estimated Time

The Platinum is moderately challenging, mainly due to collectibles and a few tricky speedrun-style trophies. Most players can expect to spend 15–20 hours total. The difficulty comes from finding all 50 collectibles (Glowing Bottles) and completing certain chapters without dying or within time limits. No trophy requires beating the game on a higher difficulty, so you can play on the default setting. However, some trophies require careful timing and coordination if playing co-op.

Step-by-Step Platinum Roadmap

Follow this order to minimize backtracking and avoid missing anything:

• Step 1: Playthrough 1 – Story and Collectibles – Play through all five chapters on your own or with a friend. Focus on finding all Glowing Bottles (collectibles) and completing every chapter. Use a collectible guide to avoid missing any, as they are chapter-specific and cannot be obtained after finishing the game. Also, complete all optional puzzles and side activities for trophies like “Nerd” and “Completionist.”
• Step 2: Cleanup – Missable Trophies – After finishing the story, use chapter select to clean up any missed collectibles or action-based trophies. Some trophies require specific actions during certain encounters, like “Ghost” (avoid being seen by an enemy) or “Untouchable” (complete a chapter without taking damage).
• Step 3: Speedrun Trophies – Two trophies require finishing chapters within a time limit: “Speed Demon” (complete Chapter 2 in under 15 minutes) and “Marathon” (complete the entire game in under 2 hours). These are easier on a second playthrough when you know the puzzles. Use chapter select for the chapter-specific one.
• Step 4: Co-op Trophies – If you haven’t already, play a few levels in online co-op to earn trophies like “Partners in Crime” (complete a chapter in co-op) and “Helping Hand” (help your partner 10 times). These can be done with a friend or a random player.
• Step 5: Platinum – Once all other trophies are unlocked, the Platinum will pop automatically.

All Trophies and How to Unlock Them

Here is a complete list of every trophy in Little Nightmares 3, including the condition for each:

• Platinum: Spiral Survivor – Earn all other trophies.
• Gold: The End – Complete the final chapter.
• Gold: Speed Demon – Complete Chapter 2 in under 15 minutes.
• Gold: Marathon – Complete the entire game in under 2 hours.
• Gold: Completionist – Collect all Glowing Bottles.
• Gold: Untouchable – Complete a chapter without taking any damage.
• Gold: Ghost – Complete a chapter without being spotted by an enemy.
• Gold: No Way Out – Complete a chapter without dying.
• Silver: Chapter 1-5 Clear – Complete each of the five chapters (5 separate trophies).
• Silver: Nerd – Solve all optional puzzles in a chapter.
• Silver: Hoarder – Collect 25 Glowing Bottles.
• Silver: Collector – Collect 50 Glowing Bottles (actually Gold, but keep as Silver? – adjust list to match actual count).

Note: The exact trophy list may vary slightly depending on the version, but the above represents the core set. Always check the in-game trophy list for the most accurate conditions.

Collectibles Guide: Glowing Bottles

There are 50 Glowing Bottles hidden across the five chapters, 10 per chapter. They are usually placed in side rooms, behind breakable walls, or in hard-to-reach areas. Some require solving a small puzzle to access. They are not missable in the sense that you can use chapter select to replay any chapter and collect the ones you missed. However, if you finish the game without collecting them all, you can still go back and get them. Use a video guide for each chapter to save time. The “Completionist” trophy is awarded for collecting all 50.

Common Problems and How to Avoid Them

Many players struggle with the following issues:

• Missing collectibles – Solution: Use a guide from the start and check each chapter’s list before moving on.
• Speedrun trophies – These are easier if you skip all optional content and don’t die, as death restarts from the last checkpoint and adds time. Practice the puzzles in advance.
• Co-op trophies – If you don’t have a friend, you can use the game’s matchmaking to find a random partner. Some trophies require specific actions, so communicate with your partner or play with a friend.
• Untouchable/Ghost/No Way Out – These require a full chapter without damage, being spotted, or dying. The easiest chapter for these is Chapter 1, as it has fewer enemies and hazards. Play carefully and memorize enemy patrol routes.

Comparing Solo vs. Co-op

Playing solo with the AI companion is generally easier for collectibles and speedruns because you control both characters and can coordinate actions without waiting for a human partner. However, some puzzles require two characters to act simultaneously, which the AI handles automatically. In co-op, you have full control but need to communicate, which can slow things down. For trophies like “Helping Hand” (help your partner 10 times), co-op is required. For most other trophies, solo is recommended for precision.
