During your progress through Chapter 1, you will eventually come across a room with a small hole on the right side that requires you to crouch through. On the other side, you will drop into a larger area where a fight will immediately begin, as Flying Beetles start spawning around you in Little Nightmares III.

Fighting The Flying Beetles

To beat the Flying Beetles, coordination between Low and Alone is required. When controlling Low, you must use the Bow to shoot at the Beetle once it stops moving in midair. A well-timed shot will knock the Beetle down onto its back.

After this, Alone must quickly approach the fallen Beetle and strike it with the Wrench before it has a chance to recover. If you delay, the Beetle will flip itself over and continue attacking. Contact with the Beetle will fail, forcing you to restart the encounter.

Maintain this pattern—Low shooting from range and Alone finishing each Beetle on the ground—until all the Flying Beetles in the room have been defeated in Little Nightmares III.
