Little Nightmares 3 Necropolis Walkthrough

Complete guide to navigating the eerie desert wasteland of Necropolis as Alone and Low in Little Nightmares 3

Little Nightmares 3 puts players in the shoes of two new heroes: Alone and Low. Throughout their journey in The Nowhere, you'll need to solve puzzles, fight off enemies, and work together to overcome all of the challenges Little Nightmares 3 throws at you. The first area you'll explore is the Necropolis. If you need some help navigating this area, check out our full guide below.

Getting Started in the Necropolis - Little Nightmares 3 Walkthrough

Once you gain control, go through the door on your right and pick up a shoe off the ground. Look toward the large button and toss the shoe at it. You'll automatically lock onto the target when you're close enough, so don't worry too much about aiming.

For our playthrough, we mostly played as Alone, so the guide is largely written from that perspective. If you're playing as Low or with a friend, the critical path is largely the same because the AI will automatically perform most actions.

Climbing the ramp in Necropolis desert area

After climbing a ramp, you'll come out into the desert. Drop down and head into the sand.

Eventually, you'll come across a lifeless body. Continue past it to the other side of the desert to find a ladder taking you to the next area.

Finding the ladder after the desert section

Following a lengthy ladder climb and a short walk through a tunnel, you'll come to a dead end. If you're controlling Alone, equip her wrench and use it to break open the wall. Otherwise, your AI-companion should do it for you.

Once you've picked up the doll, pull the box on the right-hand side of the room out of the way with your partner to reveal a hole in the wall. Go through the hole and jump across the wooden beam.

Either use Low's bow or call your AI companion to do so on the rope that's holding a box to bring it down to your level.

Jump toward the box and grab the top to pull yourself up. Do the same to the second box and climb up the ladder.

Walk across the planks until you get to another hole in a wall. Through here, you'll need to use Alone's wrench to unlock the bridge. Hold it in place to let Low walk across and shoot a rope to keep the bridge out when you let go.
