As you progress through Chapter 3 of Little Nightmares 3, you’ll have the opportunity to collect Nomes, one of the game’s many collectibles. Nomes are little creatures with paper on their head, and can be found hiding in different areas of the level.
There are a total of 6 Nomes to find in Little Nightmares 3. Most are very well-hidden, but luckily, the game has a chapter select option. This allows you to go back and find any you may have missed.
If you’re a completionist and are on the hunt for collectibles, this guide has you covered. Here’s how to find all the Nomes in Little Nightmares 3.
To have the game register that you found a Nome, you have to actually approach it and pick it up.
Nome #1
Near the start of Chapter 3, you’ll make your way to a long hallway, where you can see the first Nome standing at the end of it.
Reach the end of the hallway, causing the Nome to run into the room to the right with an unlit furnace. Follow the Nome into the room and use Alone’s wrench to smack the large button on the east side.
Doing so will light the furnace and cause the Nome to come out of his hiding place. Next, approach the Nome and pick it up to officially collect it.
Nome #2
The second Nome can be found when reaching the first outside area. You reach this location after powering up the first elevator and acquiring the flashlight.
Once you reach outside, turn on your flashlight and proceed a little bit north. Then, immediately turn left to find the Nome sitting on a box. Approach the Nome and pick it up to collect the second Nome of the game.
Nome #3
The third Nome can be found after the arrow and light puzzle room. This puzzle requires you to press the buttons in the correct order, as indicated by the light that passes through them.
Once you solve the puzzle, jump on the boxes next to the machine and activate the lever. Next, begin leaving this room (the same way you entered), and a Nome will run out from behind some boxes.
Follow the Nome to the outside and then head north to find the third Nome hiding in the northeast corner. Make sure to use your flashlight here so you can spot it.
Nome #4
The fourth Nome is located on the higher level of the area, which you reach by naturally progressing through the chapter. You reach this location by climbing the chain that is next to a large bathtub, dangling by some rope.
Once you reach the higher level, make your way around the platform to the east side to find a room with a doll. Collect the doll, and then open the cabinet on the right side of the room to reveal a Nome. The Nome will run away, so you have to follow it.
To find the Nome, exit the room and make your way around the platform, and enter the west room. You can actually spot the Nome running away from you, so all you need to do is follow it.
After entering the room, the Nome can be found hiding in the corner, next to the desk.
Nome #5
The fifth Nome can be found not too far from where you found the fourth. Head west out of the room with the fourth Nome, where you’ll enter a large hallway.
Continue north through the hallway and enter the first room on your right, where you’ll find a piano.
Next, jump on the piano and run across the keys (starting from left to right) to open a secret door on the right side of the room.
This will cause a Nome to run out of the secret room and hide behind the Piano. Approach the Nome and pick it up to collect it.
Nome #6
The sixth and final Nome is not too far from the piano room, where you found the fifth Nome. Exit the piano room into the hallway and enter the first room to your left.
The last Nome is found in the corner of this room, so do as you have done before and pick it up.
If you have followed this guide and collected all the previous Nomes, then you will earn the Home Sweet Home achievement in Little Nightmares 3.
