Little Nightmares still allows players to enjoy the charm of horror puzzle games in the current mobile version. This is also why many players who are brave enough to explore the unknown like this type of game. The puzzles and atmosphere are so captivating that they keep players hooked. For many newcomers, a beginner's guide to Little Nightmares is essential, as they may encounter some special operational confusions and challenges when passing through the levels for the first time. Therefore, this introduction can help you find some puzzle-solving tips.
When you enter the game, the animation vividly and intricately portrays the protagonist's fear when trapped in a nightmare. At this point, you will wake up from the abyss of the nightmare as the character Six. Your initial direction of movement is to the right. Fortunately, at this moment, you carry an extremely important tool, which is a lighter. After advancing steadily for a certain distance, the lighter will automatically light up the path ahead for you, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness, allowing your vision to suddenly become clear, enabling you to see more secrets hidden in the shadows.
After walking for a while, an old-fashioned oil lamp will appear ahead. Don't miss this opportunity to interact; go up close and light it. Many items in the game have the characteristic of being able to be lit, and lighting them is often the condition to trigger something. Once entering a new scene, you need to carefully observe the surroundings. Whenever you find an object that can be lit, light it, because the flickering flame can make the surrounding environment clearly visible, and it can also trigger special events or hidden elements at key moments.
If you have enough patience to light all the ignitable objects in the entire game, then the achievement trophy will light up. After successfully lighting the oil lamp, follow the winding pipe on the side of the oil lamp, and slowly walk out of the end of the pipe. A staircase will come into view. Climb up the stairs, and when you reach the first corner, turn and enter. Deep underground here, a statue lies quietly. This is one of the most distinctive collectible elements in the game. Pick it up gently and then smash it.
Then calmly leave this place and continue walking along the road to the right until you see a narrow gap. You need to slide into it and walk to the end, where a lone bed will appear. At this point, you need to quickly climb onto the top of the nearby box, then jump onto the bed, using its magical elasticity to bounce yourself high up and into the pipe above. During this seemingly simple jump, if you can rhythmically jump 6 times in place, an achievement trophy that is easy to unlock early in the game will light up.
After smoothly flipping into another room full of unknowns through the pipe, you will see a chair standing by the side. At this point, you need to use all your strength to push the chair to the door, then climb up the chair with both hands and feet, reach out and grab the high-up doorknob, and open it. When you reach the refrigerator, open the refrigerator door. As the refrigerator door slowly opens, it will release the mysterious little figure wearing a hat inside. After completing this operation, you can enter the pipe ahead. After emerging from the other end of the pipe, you will find another oil lamp flickering ahead. Go up and light it. In the corner illuminated by the light, the little figure wearing a hat is an important collectible element.
Just walk up to it and give it a hug, and you will successfully trigger this element. The act of opening the refrigerator just now was precisely to unlock this little figure. After completing the interaction with the little figure, return to the original position of the refrigerator and start climbing upwards. During the climb, pay attention to the black bugs falling like raindrops from above. These bugs cannot stick to your body. After climbing up, continue moving forward. Upon entering the room, quickly climb onto the box, reach out and touch the switch above, and turn it on. The tightly closed door ahead will then open.
At this point, you need to rush in as quickly as possible because the door will close soon after. After entering the door, the first task is to decisively dismantle the wooden board blocking the way. Behind the wooden board, there is a small hole. Bend down and walk straight in. Continue exploring deeper, and soon you will encounter a sudden collapse of the ground. You will fall down to an area filled with bugs. This will become a critical map to test your reaction and operational skills. You must jump and walk quickly, avoiding the bugs on the ground. Finally, walk to the end and push the tightly closed door hard, and you will see the light again. After going out, there will be a platform blocking the way. Jump over it, and you can enter the next scene.
