After progressing through several rooms, you will arrive in an empty area containing a single broken window. This part introduces a short combat sequence involving multiple Puppets that you must defeat to continue in Little Nightmares III.

Puppet Encounter

As soon as you move far enough into the room, Puppets will begin to appear one at a time from different spots around the area. Despite appearing individually, they will continue to pursue you within the confined space, so you must act quickly to handle each encounter in Little Nightmares III.

During the fight, Low should focus on shooting off the Puppets’ Heads, while Alone is responsible for smashing them afterward. However, the Puppet Bodies will continue to move even after their heads are destroyed. Low must therefore distract and avoid the advancing Bodies until Alone has destroyed the Heads.

There are four Puppets in total, similar to the Beetles battle from Necropolis in Chapter 1. Once all four have been defeated, move to the corner of the room and jump onto the Trap Door to exit the area in Little Nightmares III.
