PS4 / PS5
Little Nightmares III asks a trophy hunter to do more than reach the credits once. Low and Alone have separate completion goals and personal interactions that an AI companion cannot perform on your profile’s behalf. An organised route separates both character journeys, collectible cleanup and online cooperation. Decide who will host the online session before arranging it, because the game does not provide local shared-screen co-op.
PS4/PS5 base-game platinum roadmap; separate console trophy stacks are retained where available.
- Required difficulty: There is no mandatory high difficulty setting.
- Missable trophies: Chapters can be replayed; character-completion trophies concern the full campaign.
- Online: Special Connection requires online co-op; a second local controller is not sufficient.
Give each character a complete campaign
Choose Low or Alone and keep that character for a full story completion. Use the other protagonist for the second campaign rather than merely switching immediately before the ending. This also teaches how the bow and wrench enable different interactions. Record which character has completed each personal action so cleanup does not become an aimless third journey.
- Track Low and Alone campaign completions separately.
Separate collectibles by chapter and category
Dolls, Nomes, Lady statues and ghosts are separate collectible families. A single count of secrets does not identify which room needs another visit. Note both category and chapter and inspect the summary before returning: completing one set does not finish the others. The second character’s campaign is a useful opportunity to examine optional diversions once the main puzzle solutions are familiar.
- Do not treat one completed set as a fully cleared chapter.
Use the correct character for interactions
Wrench interactions belong to Alone, while bow actions belong to Low. Choose the trophy first, then launch its chapter with the correct protagonist. An action performed by another player or the AI may advance the scene without satisfying your personal counter. Let the player pursuing that condition perform the relevant interaction instead of both players racing to the same object.
- Check the selected tool before replaying a scene.
Arrange the fourth chapter in co-op
Special Connection concerns completing The Institute in online co-op, rather than replaying the entire story together. Agree on the console version, session access and both players’ availability, then finish the chapter; simply joining a lobby is not enough. If an invitation fails, check updates and connectivity before starting another campaign, since a new save does not automatically repair a connection problem.
- Finish chapter four online and verify the trophy on your profile.
Keep challenge cleanup separate from DLC
After both campaigns, revisit outstanding environmental challenges one at a time. Trophy descriptions are often cryptic, so match the trophy to its chapter and prepare the action before crossing the scene’s end. The Backstage and The Shores expansions have separate groups and do not replace base-list conditions. Practise an error-free sequence before its serious attempt; restarting a checkpoint should not be assumed to erase every recorded mistake.
- Compare remaining platinum requirements with the base group.

Frequently asked questions
Is one story completion enough?
No. Low and Alone have separate completion conditions, so plan a campaign with each and track their tool interactions individually.
Must the entire campaign be online?
Special Connection requires completing chapter four, The Institute, in online co-op. Local co-op is not supported.
Are the expansions required for platinum?
No. Backstage and Shores appear in additional groups; exclude them from the base-game platinum checklist even when the overall trophy total includes them.
