After completing the dreadful tour of the Candy Factory, players will ride an elevator and reach the Carnevale area in Little Nightmares 3. Before you can experience what the game has in store to spook you next, you'll need to restore the area's power by solving a Button puzzle. This is required to activate the central rotary mechanism to help Alone and Low reach the upper floors and proceed to the next area.
Little Nightmares 3: Co-op & Friend's Pass, Explained
Little Nightmares 3 introduces online multiplayer co-op with Friends Pass, which will let players experience the game together, here's how it works.
How to Solve the Button Puzzle in Little Nightmares 3 (Chapter Three)
Players will encounter the Button Puzzle at the start of Chapter Three: Canivale in Little Nightmares 3. After exiting the elevator and stepping onto the open platform, the switch to activate the main platform won't have any power. To restore power, you'll need to take a right from the center platform and enter the power room.
The power room has a massive electrical box with 12 buttons lined in a 4x3 grid. The goal is to shoot the correct combination of buttons to activate the electric box and restore power to the area. The first thing you'll need to do is grab the blind to the right and let it go to retract it, revealing the button order for the electric box.
Once you've checked out the code, hit the large button at the center of the electrical box with Alone's wrench to start the button sequence. Each button in the grid will blink once, and Low will have to shoot the right button according to the sequence shown in the poster.
The image above shows all the correct buttons that must be shot in order to complete the electrical box Button puzzle in Little Nightmares 3. For further clarification, here are all the buttons that you need to shoot with Low's bow.
- First Row: Third and fourth buttons (Last two).
- Second Row: Second and fourth buttons.
- Third Row: Second and third buttons (middle two).
After you've completed the Button puzzle in LN3, climb the box to the right of the electric box, and both characters will need to pull the lever down. After lowering the lever, the power to the central platform will be restored.
After returning to the central platform, pull the lever down to activate the mechanism in the middle. It's a rotary contraption that you'll need to turn and line up the small ring-like platforms. Once they're in the right position, simply start climbing them, and you'll be able to reach the upper section.
This will complete the electrical box Button puzzle in Little Nightmares 3, letting players progress further into Chapter 3: Carnevale.
