In this part of Chapter 4 of Little Nightmares III, your objective is to move beyond the locked door, recover the Doll, and navigate through several rooms and vents to progress. You will also need to move carefully through a crowded area without being detected.

Accessing The Hallway

After unlocking the door, climb onto the Cabinet located inside to reach a Lever in the hallway. Pulling this Lever will unlock the doors along the corridor, allowing you to continue forward. You will soon come across a wide gap in the floor that cannot be crossed without the Doll in Little Nightmares III.

The door that opens behind you, facing toward the camera, leads to the location where you previously left the Doll.

Retrieving The Doll

If the Doll is not present in the hallway, enter the room on the left that contains the Projector. Move through the small opening, which resembles a closed door, to access another area.

Inside this room, you will find the Doll in the exact location where you earlier pulled a Lever during the Battery retrieval sequence. Activate the Lever in this room again to reopen the passage. Then, pick up the Doll and bring it with you to the end of the hallway, which will now be accessible in Little Nightmares III.

Moving Through The Vent

At the end of the hall, enter the open door on the right side. Inside, there will be a Vent that you can crawl through. Move to the end of the vent to reach another room. You will not be able to leave this room unless you set the Doll down, so place it on the ground before continuing forward into the next area.

Sneaking Through The Crowd

Proceed ahead until you reach a large room filled with a Crowd Of People. Move carefully through the group, avoiding direct attention as you make your way across.

Continue until you find a room containing a single Woman. In this room, a vent is located along the back wall; jump down through it to advance in Little Nightmares III.
