You’ve finally reached The Institute, the last level in Little Nightmares 3, and you’re determined to collect every doll. However, this dark, maze-like location can make that task tricky. Don’t worry — we’ve tracked down every hidden doll so you don’t have to. Here’s where to find all five dolls in The Institute.
Institute doll location 1
After entering the building, you’ll reach a door covered by a wooden board that you’ll need to pull down to proceed. Before continuing, turn around — there’s a door behind you that’s slightly open. Slip inside, and you’ll find the first doll lying on the floor in front of a fallen picture frame.
Institute doll location 2
Once you’ve acquired the Double Sight Doll that changes your surroundings, head back into the hallway. Move all the way toward the screen until you reach an open door at the very end. The door was open before, but the doll only appears now that you have Double Sight. Step inside, and you’ll see the doll sitting quietly on the floor.
Institute doll location 3
This next one is easy to overlook because it’s hiding in plain sight. After you replace the dead power block with a new one and open the nearby door, take the trolley you’ve been pushing around and wheel it through that doorway. Position it next to the soda machine, then climb up using the trolley to reach the shelf above. From there, hop onto the top of the soda machine — you’ll find the doll resting right on top.
Institute doll location 4
After your second encounter with the giant arm chase, you’ll end up in a room with a lever. Before pulling it, look closely at the background — there’s a bookshelf along the back wall. Approach it, and you’ll spot the doll sitting on a book on the floor. It’s another one that’s easy to miss if you rush through.
Institute doll location 5
Take the elevator up, and you’ll soon reach a section where you need to cross a narrow plank. Before crossing, look to your right and notice a small hole in the wall. Duck inside to enter a cramped room filled with boxes. You’ll spot a key in the middle of the room — you can pick it up to unlock a hidden room with one of the Ghosts. But don’t leave yet! Keep walking toward the back of this area, and you’ll find the final doll tucked away behind the boxes.
