Story Mode Trophies (Automatic Progression)

These five trophies will unlock naturally as you progress through Little Nightmares’ haunting narrative. You can’t miss them, so just focus on enjoying the atmospheric journey!

The Prison

Trophy Description: “Look how the canary has flown its cage!” How to Unlock: Complete Chapter 1 – The Prison My Tips: Take your time in this chapter to get familiar with the controls. The prison introduces you to Six’s basic mechanics and the game’s oppressive atmosphere.

The Lair

Trophy Description: “Little lost things sometimes find their way home.” How to Unlock: Complete Chapter 2 – The Lair My Tips: This chapter introduces the Janitor, your first major enemy. Pay attention to his patterns – he’s blind but has incredible hearing. Use this to your advantage!

The Kitchen

Trophy Description: “The Chefs will miss you!” How to Unlock: Complete Chapter 3 – The Kitchen My Tips: The Twin Chefs are terrifying but predictable. Study their movements and use the environment to hide. This is also where you’ll unlock the “Kitchen Hand” trophy if you’re following this guide!

The Guest Area

Trophy Description: “Little fox among hungry wolves!” How to Unlock: Complete Chapter 4 – The Guest Area My Tips: The Guests are numerous but slow. Use your smaller size to your advantage – you can slip through spaces they can’t. This chapter is perfect for the “Elusive” trophy.

The Lady’s Quarters

Trophy Description: “A storm is coming. That coat should come in useful.” How to Unlock: Complete Chapter 5 – The Lady’s Quarters My Tips: The final boss encounter with The Lady requires patience and timing. Remember your mirror ability – it’s crucial for both survival and victory!

Collectible Trophies (Missable – Pay Attention!)

These three trophies require specific actions throughout your playthrough. They’re missable, so I recommend getting them in your first run!

Light Up Your Life

Trophy Description: “Not all lights can be trusted, but these should be quite safe!” How to Unlock: Light a minimum of 20 lanterns/candles throughout the game My Strategy: There are actually 30+ light sources in the game, so you have some margin for error. Here’s my recommended approach:

Chapter 1: Look for candles on tables and wall-mounted lanterns (6-7 available)
Chapter 2: The Lair has numerous lanterns in the main areas (8-9 available)
Chapter 3: Kitchen areas have candles on dining tables (5-6 available)
Chapter 4: Guest Area features wall sconces and table lamps (4-5 available)
Chapter 5: The Lady’s Quarters has decorative lighting (3-4 available)

Pro Tip: Whenever you enter a new room, take 30 seconds to scan for light sources. It’s better to light too many than too few!

Little Lost Things

Trophy Description: “Kindness will be your undoing!” How to Unlock: Hug all 13 Nomes across all chapters My Complete Location Guide:

Chapter 1 (3 Nomes):

In the first room after waking up – behind some boxes
In the area with the rolling balls – near a broken staircase
Just before the first encounter with the Janitor – hiding in a corner

Chapter 2 (3 Nomes):

In the library area – on a high shelf (use the movable chair)
In the piano room – behind the piano itself
Near the end of the chapter – in a dark corner before the exit

Chapter 3 (3 Nomes):

In the pantry – behind some sacks
In the main kitchen area – under a table
Near the cheese ingredient – hiding in a corner

Chapter 4 (4 Nomes):

In the first guest room – under a bed
In the hallway with portraits – behind a curtain
In the dining area – under a long table
Near the end – in a small storage room

Important: Approach Nomes slowly and press the interaction button to hug them. If you run too fast, they might disappear!

Rascal

Trophy Description: “Little vandal, little beast, The Maw will punish you at the feast.” How to Unlock: Find and break all 10 statues of the Lady My Detailed Location Guide:

Chapter 1 (2 Statues):

In the room with the first bed jump – on a table
Near the end of the chapter – on a shelf before the exit

Chapter 2 (2 Statues):

In the library – on a desk
In the area with the hanging piano – on a high platform

Chapter 3 (3 Statues):

In the pantry – on a shelf
In the main kitchen – on the preparation counter
Near the pot for “Kitchen Hand” trophy – on a side table

Chapter 4 (2 Statues):

In the first guest room – on a nightstand
In the dining area – on the main table

Chapter 5 (1 Statue):

In The Lady’s Quarters – on a decorative table before the final encounter

Pro Tip: To break statues, hold the interaction button to pick them up, then press again to throw them. The breaking animation is satisfying and confirms you’ve done it correctly!

Hidden/Secret Trophies (Tricky Achievements)

These four trophies require specific, non-obvious actions. I’ve spent hours perfecting these strategies so you don’t have to!

Highly Sprung

Trophy Description: “You’d jump even higher if you knew what slept there!” How to Unlock: Jump on any bed six or more times in Chapter 1 My Strategy: This is easiest in the very first bedroom area where you start the game. Simply jump on the bed repeatedly until the trophy unlocks. You have another chance later in Chapter 1 in the room with the second statue, but the first bed is safest.

Common Mistake: Don’t jump into the vent too quickly! Take an extra 30 seconds to get this trophy before progressing.

Elusive

Trophy Description: “Hey sneaky rat, how do you keep slipping away?” How to Unlock: Escape from enemies 6 times as they’re about to catch you My Best Strategy: Chapter 4 is perfect for this! Here’s exactly what to do:

Progress to the area where Guests chase you through multiple rooms
Let a Guest get very close (almost touching you)
Sprint away at the last second
Repeat this process 6 times

Alternative Locations:

Chapter 2: Let the Janitor get close, then hide under furniture
Chapter 3: Get close to the Chefs, then duck under tables

Pro Tip: The escape needs to be dramatic – wait until the enemy makes a grab motion before running away!

Six’s Song

Trophy Description: “So many keys, yet none to unlock your cage!” How to Unlock: Play all notes on the hanging piano in Chapter 2 My Step-by-Step Guide:

Reach the area with the large piano hanging from the ceiling
Jump onto the piano keys
Run back and forth across all the keys
You’ll hear musical notes as you step on them
Continue until you’ve triggered all different notes
The trophy should unlock within 10-15 seconds

Visual Cue: The keys will light up slightly when stepped on, and you’ll hear distinct tones.

Kitchen Hand

Trophy Description: “The recipe is complete, the feast will be divine.” How to Unlock: Throw three ingredients into the boiling pot in Chapter 3 My Safe Strategy:

Available Ingredients:

Carrot – In the pantry area (easiest to get)
Fish Head – Under the main kitchen table
Cheese – Near the glass bottles on a counter
Sausage – Dropped by the Chefs after they spot you

Step-by-Step Process:

Enter the kitchen area with the large boiling pot
Wait for the Chefs to be on one side of the room
Quickly grab an ingredient (start with the carrot)
Throw it into the pot (hold R2, then release)
Hide under the center table if spotted
Repeat until you’ve thrown in 3 different ingredients

Safety Tips:

Use the center table as your main hiding spot
Watch the Chefs’ patterns – they patrol predictably
You can throw ingredients from a distance if you’re careful
The pot makes a satisfying splash sound when you score

Hard to the Core (The Ultimate Challenge)

Trophy Description: “What’s different about you? Why are you so brave?” How to Unlock: Complete the game without dying in under one hour My Expert Speedrun Strategy:

This is the most challenging trophy, but I’ve developed a proven method that works consistently:

Preparation Phase:

Complete the game once normally to learn all routes
Memorize enemy patterns and puzzle solutions
Practice the most difficult sections (Chapter 3 and 5)

Speedrun Execution:

Target Time: 45-50 minutes (gives you 10-15 minute buffer)

Chapter-by-Chapter Breakdown:

Chapter 1: 8-10 minutes (focus on movement efficiency)
Chapter 2: 10-12 minutes (Janitor encounters are key time sinks)
Chapter 3: 12-15 minutes (kitchen section takes longest)
Chapter 4: 8-10 minutes (Guest areas can be rushed)
Chapter 5: 7-10 minutes (final boss practice essential)

Critical Tips:

Save Scumming: Use PS+ cloud saves after each checkpoint (white eye symbol)
Pause Strategy: Pause frequently to plan next moves (timer stops)
Death Prevention: When in doubt, hide and wait rather than risk death
Route Optimization: Learn the fastest paths through each area

Backup Strategy: If you die, immediately quit to dashboard and reload your last cloud save. This preserves your no-death run!
