FAQ: Little Nightmares 3 Trophy Questions
How long does it take to get platinum in Little Nightmares 3?
Based on my experience and community reports, expect 7+ hours for platinum. This includes two full playthroughs and cleanup time. Some players report 5-6 hours with optimal routing.
Are any trophies truly missable?
No trophies are truly missable thanks to chapter select. However, some trophies (especially in Chapter 3) require specific actions that are easy to miss if you rush. It’s more efficient to get them on your first attempt rather than backtracking.
Do I need PlayStation Plus for the platinum?
Yes, you need PlayStation Plus (or Xbox Live Gold) for the Special Connection trophy, which requires online co-op. This is the only online requirement in the game.
Can I get all trophies in one playthrough?
No, you need at least two playthroughs – one as Low and one as Alone – to get the character-specific completion trophies. However, you can mix solo and co-op within each character’s run.
What’s the hardest trophy in Little Nightmares 3?
Hand-Eye Coordination (final boss no-damage) is widely considered the hardest trophy. It requires perfect timing and pattern recognition. The boss has multiple attack phases that you’ll need to memorize.
Is there local co-op for trophy hunting?
No, Little Nightmares 3 only supports online co-op. There’s no local split-screen or couch co-op option, which means you’ll need an internet connection and online subscription for the co-op trophy.
Do collectibles carry between playthroughs?
Yes, all collectibles are saved to your profile and carry between playthroughs and characters. This means you only need to find each collectible once across all your playthroughs.
Can I play with random players for the co-op trophy?
Yes, you can play with random players, but it’s often easier to coordinate with friends or find partners through trophy hunting communities. The official Discord and Reddit communities are great places to find co-op partners.
