Little Nightmares Trophy Guide and Platinum Roadmap
Follow these phases in order to protect the missable work and keep the Little Nightmares Platinum cleanup efficient.
Phase 1: Full exploration run
Play through all five chapters taking your time. There are no difficulty settings, so nothing to configure.
Collect everything as you go, 10 Statues to break and at least 20 lights to light, plus the Nomes to hug. There are more than 20 lights in the game so you have some slack.
Watch the chapter-scoped trophies in order, Highly Sprung in chapter one, Six's Song in chapter two, Kitchen Hand in chapter three, and Elusive which is easiest in chapter three.
Chapter four is your last chance at Elusive, so do not leave it beyond that.
Ignore the speedrun and no-death requirements entirely on this run. They are much easier once you know the game.
Phase 2: The Hard to the Core run
Finish the game start to finish in under one hour without dying. A confident run takes around 50 minutes, so the limit is comfortable.
You can pause to stop the timer, so checking a route guide costs you nothing.
You do not need one unbroken run. Back up your save to cloud or USB and reload if you die or lose time in a section.
Sprint constantly, and when Six is hungry, jump to save time.
If you missed a few collectibles in Phase 1 you can pick them up here, as long as you stay efficient.
Phase 3: Secrets of the Maw DLC
Three chapters, each adding one gold, one silver and one bronze trophy, and each completable in a single run.
The Depths is straightforward. The Residence has one missable, Ashes To Ashes.
The Hideaway is the difficult one. Do not push the mine cart down the slope before collecting Flotsam number three, and do not complete the objective right of the furnace before collecting Flotsam number four, since the doors close behind you.
Throw the wooden gnome from the workshop table into the furnace before riding the mine cart elevator upward. Missing this costs roughly two thirds of the chapter on a replay.
That completes 100 percent. There is no platinum to unlock at the end, so set that expectation clearly in the closing section.
Guide notes
There Is No Platinum Trophy
First section after the Quick Info box. The base list has 13 trophies topping out at a single gold.
Guide notes
Hard to the Core, and the Pause Trick
Finish the game in under one hour without dying. A clean speedrun takes around 50 minutes, and crucially you can pause to stop the timer, so you can check a route guide freely. You also do not need one unbroken run, since backing up saves to cloud or USB lets you retry a section where you died or lost time.
Guide notes
All Collectibles by Chapter
, an H3 per type. 10 Statues to break, split 2 in chapter one, 2 in chapter two, 3 in chapter three, 2 in chapter four and 1 in chapter five. 20 lights to light, and there are more than 20 in the game so you have slack. Plus the Nomes to hug.
Guide notes
The Chapter-Scoped Missables
Highly Sprung in chapter one, Six's Song in chapter two, Kitchen Hand in chapter three, and Elusive which is easiest in chapter three with chapter four the last chance. Chapter select means these are recoverable rather than lost.
Efficient route
Secrets of the Maw DLC
, an H3 per chapter. The Depths, The Hideaway and The Residence. Each adds three trophies and each can be done in one run.
The Hideaway Lockouts
The fiddliest content in the package. Flotsam number three can be lost by pushing the mine cart down the slope before collecting it, Flotsam number four can be lost by completing the objective right of the furnace since the doors close, and the gnome-in-furnace trophy closes once you ride the mine cart elevator upward, costing roughly two thirds of the chapter to replay.
Not Little Nightmares II or III
Both are separate games with their own lists. Disambiguate and link, and check whether either justifies its own page on volume.
The Enhanced Edition Question
Little Nightmares Enhanced on PS5 includes every DLC and PowerPyx states its trophy list is the same as before.

Base Game, Required for Platinum
Keep on turning
You're not rattled that easily
Survived the most pressing of situations
The show cannot go on
A twisted mind unravelled
The real memories are the friend you made along the way
... But to be is to have been
There is no bond as strong as this
Playtime's over now
Sweets for my sweet
You have hit the jackpot
Nothing left in the medicine cabinet
Little shapes of big things to come
DLC and Update Trophies, Not Required for Platinum
You can always call on me
We're connected, you and I
I can be quite handy when I want to be
You gotta aim high
There's a twinkle in that eye
Just don't open it indoors
Always ruffling feathers
You're heading for a shock
Ready or not, here I come
Are you taking notes?
Look on the bright side
Nothing but net (profits)
Rotting from the inside, delicious on the outside
Far or near, she can make us fear
From store to (cage) door
Win a prize everytime
The gift of second sight
The Kids Aren't Alright
You've stayed at arm's length
Survive until the curtain call
A revealing experience
Keep your eye on the prize
You didn't break a leg
You may need a raincoat
Flash the mob
Guide notes
Little Nightmares Missable, Glitched, and Difficulty Notes
- There is no platinum trophy in Little Nightmares. The base list of 13 trophies tops out at a single gold.
- No trophies are permanently missable in the base game, because chapter select lets you return to any chapter.
- Four trophies are chapter-scoped and need attention in the right chapter, Highly Sprung, Six's Song, Kitchen Hand and Elusive. Chapter four is the last chance for Elusive.
- There are no difficulty settings in the game, so nothing is difficulty gated.
- Hard to the Core needs a sub-one-hour completion without dying, but you can pause to stop the timer and you can back up saves to retry sections rather than doing one unbroken run.
- The Hideaway DLC has the real lockouts. Flotsam number three is lost if you push the mine cart down the slope first, Flotsam number four is lost if you complete the furnace objective early, and the gnome-in-furnace trophy closes once you ride the mine cart elevator upward.
- The Residence DLC has one missable, Ashes To Ashes.
- Little Nightmares Enhanced on PS5 is reported to use the same trophy list. Confirm whether it is separate and whether it added a platinum before publishing.
