In this part of Little Nightmares III, you’ll enter a vast circular outdoor space where you must complete an Electrical Panel puzzle to advance. There are also two Nomes in this section that you can interact with along the way.

Hugging the Nome

When you arrive in the large circular area, move toward the left side and look behind the ladder. There, you’ll find a Nome waiting. Approach it and hug it before continuing toward the right side of the area in Little Nightmares III.

Accessing the Control Room

Next, go through the right door and climb over the tables to get to the room in front of the closed door. Inside, there is a big electrical Control Box with three rows of buttons across the top. To solve the game, you'll need to press these buttons in a particular order.

The correct sequence is: in the first row, press the third and fourth buttons; in the second row, press the second and fourth buttons; and in the third row, press the second and third buttons.

To input the sequence, use Alone to strike the large button located at the bottom of the device. This will start a pattern where the lights move above each button in Little Nightmares III.

When the light highlights one of the buttons you need to activate, have Low shoot it with an arrow. Once the entire pattern is entered correctly, the lights on the panel will flash, signaling that the mechanism has been successfully powered.

Powering the Mechanism

After completing the button sequence, pull the lever to the right of the Control Panel. This will open the door that leads back to the central circular area. Head through it and move to the large circular structure in the center. Pull the nearby lever to expose a mechanical device.

Before moving on, interact with and hug the Nome standing close to this lever in Little Nightmares III.

Adjusting the Device

Use the circular mechanism by rotating its lower section until the top platform aligns with the balcony on the right-hand side. Once the position is correct, climb up the platforms to reach the upper level and proceed to the next part of the chapter.
