Encountering The Final Boss’ Hand

As you move forward, you will reach an area with a small gap between two chain-link doors. Pass through the gap, and the Final Boss’ Hand will extend down the hallway, attempting to grab you in Little Nightmares III.

When this occurs, hold the Plank attached to the door on the right and use it to enter a nearby room containing a desk.

Avoid running immediately after entering. If you do, the Hand will strike and eliminate you. Instead, move directly to the center of the room and hide beneath the Desk until the danger subsides.

Activating The Lever

Once it is safe, head to the right side of the room and locate the Lever. Pull the Lever to activate the following sequence. Doing this will alert the Hand once again, causing it to resume the chase in Little Nightmares III.

Quickly exit through the door and proceed down the hallway until you reach an opening in the wall located toward the back left. Enter through this opening to escape.

Breaking The Glass Floor

After moving through the hole, you will drop into a room with a Glass Floor. To progress, Alone must swing her Wrench three times to break through the glass. Once the floor gives way, you will fall through and land on a pile of leaves, marking the end of this sequence in Little Nightmares III.
