Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition achievement guide, roadmap and tracker

Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition is the remaster of Tarsier's gorgeous, grim little puzzle-horror - same game, same short and gentle 100%: the base game is 3-4 hours, and the full thing (with the three-part Secrets of the Maw DLC and every collectible) is 8-12 hours, most of it collectible mop-up. Single-player only, no multiplayer.

There are three base-game collectible sets to sweep - the Nomes (hug all thirteen, for Little Lost Things), the porcelain statues (smash all ten, for Rascal) and the lights (ignite them all, for Light Up Your Life) - plus five Flotsam bottles in each DLC chapter. Everything except the speed run is missable in a given pass but recoverable via chapter select, so a relaxed collectible run is fine.

The one genuinely demanding achievement is Hard to the Core: finish the base game in under an hour with zero deaths, started from a fresh New Game (chapter select won't count). Do that on a dedicated run once you've learned the routes. Recommended approach: a calm collectible playthrough first, then the deathless speed run.

Not all lights can be trusted, but these should be quite safe!

Use your lighter to ignite all the lanterns and candles scattered through the base game (around twenty of them). Light them as you pass in each chapter - a locations guide helps you catch the tucked-away ones.
