Chapter 1 of Little Nightmares III hides five precious dolls throughout its eerie environments, each requiring different approaches to discover. Whether you're hunting for achievements or simply love thorough exploration, these collectibles reward players who venture beyond the obvious path. You'll need to master cooperation between Low and Alone while keeping your eyes peeled for hidden passages and overlooked corners.
Doll #1
Your first collectible appears in the room featuring a hanging body - impossible to miss if you're paying attention. This doll sits prominently in the center, serving as your introduction to the collection system.

After grabbing this doll, you'll encounter your first cooperative puzzle. Pull the crate against the wall using both characters to reveal a small passage. Navigate through to find a room with a hanging crate suspended by frayed rope.
Doll #2
After the floor mechanism stops lowering, resist the urge to immediately follow the obvious right path. Instead, position Alone near the left wall and use the wrench to smash through what appears to be solid barrier.

Always test walls with Alone's wrench when you encounter suspicious-looking barriers.
Doll #3
When you reach the exterior section where Monster Baby lurks in the distance, continue right until you enter a room with a prominent staircase along the back wall. Most players rush forward here, but the smart move is heading upstairs first.

Navigation Steps:

- Locate the doll at the top
- Return to ground level to continue
This placement rewards players who explore vertical spaces, not just horizontal ones.
Doll #4
Following a significant cutscene, Low and Alone will awaken after their fall. Before rushing toward the next objective, turn left and squeeze through a small wall opening that's easy to overlook.

Don't get distracted by the upcoming Monster Baby stealth sequence - grab this doll first!
