In Little Nightmares 3, a giant baby hunts you down in the first chapter, Necropolis. Here’s how to escape unharmed and earn the “Peekaboo” trophy.
Trying to get the platinum trophy in Little Nightmares 3? Then you’ll have to escape the giant baby in Chapter 1, “Necropolis,” without dying even once. We’ll walk you through every encounter with this oversized menace step by step.
First Encounter with the Giant Baby
During your first encounter, you’ll only see a moving beam of light sweeping slowly from left to right and back again. If it catches you, you’ll turn into a statue — and say goodbye to the “Peekaboo” trophy. To make it through safely, move ahead slowly. Watch closely: the statue casts a shadow when the beam hits it — that’s your safe zone!
First, wait behind the large pillar until the beam moves away. Then sprint into the statue’s shadow and stay put. Your next stop is the stone slab marked with an eye symbol in front of the big sack. When both characters stand on it, it sinks, and the platform descends to the next area.
Second Encounter with the Giant Baby
You’ll enter an alley and see the huge hand grabbing at a wall in the distance. Sprint behind the crate immediately and wait until the giant baby withdraws.
Third Encounter with the Giant Baby
Next, you’ll reach a room with a massive rattle stuck in the floor. Run to the right immediately when the hand appears. Once it pulls up the rattle, sprint to the hole and jump in. Whatever you do, stay out of the light!
Fourth Encounter with the Giant Baby
Once again, you’ll have to dodge the giant baby’s light beam. Hide behind the first crate and wait for the beam to reach you. Listen carefully! The baby lets out a low hum right before it moves the beam. The moment you hear it, sprint to the next crate and wait at its right edge. When the beam passes by, dash to the triangular crate. From there, you can reach a hatch in the wall and make your escape.
Fifth Encounter with the Giant Baby
At the top of the bell tower, you’ll need to smash the statue’s skull with the wrench and ring the bell. As soon as the giant baby approaches, run into the open wooden crate on the right and stay hidden until it leaves with the bell.
Sixth Encounter with the Giant Baby
Once again, beware of the beam! When the baby looks all the way to the right, quickly jump across the gap and hide inside the first crate. Wait until the beam moves away again, then shoot the rope holding up the crate to your right. The noise will distract the baby as it starts playing with the fallen box. Once it drops to the floor, use it as another hiding spot and slip safely through the passage on the right.
Final Encounter with the Giant Baby
Shortly after the sixth encounter, you’ll open a small hatch and hear the baby scream — run for it! Sprint as fast as you can, jump across the small gap, and crawl through the passage. Hide behind the rattle until the baby lifts it. That’s your cue to dash behind the crate on the left. Stay there until the crows chase the baby away.
Congratulations! You’ve survived the giant baby in Necropolis and unlocked the “Peekaboo” trophy in Little Nightmares 3!
