All Collectibles Locations In The Institute (Dolls & Ghosts)
The Institute is the fourth and final area that Low and Alone will explore in Little Nightmares III. It appears in Chapter 4 and is located deep within the Spiral.
First Doll
As soon as you enter the building, you’ll come across a wooden plank that you need to pull down as part of the story. Before you do that, turn left and go through the door. Head into the second room, and you’ll spot the first doll sitting there.
First Ghost
Not long after finding the first doll, you’ll reach a gap that you need to climb over. Your partner will deal with a plant to help you cross. Once you’re across, look in the back right corner of the hallway that’s where you’ll find the second ghost.
Second Ghost
After escaping from the blind man and using a gong to open up a path, go through the opening on the left (where the barrier used to be). There’s a ghost sitting on a bench here it’s easy to miss, so look carefully.
Second Doll
Once you grab the special doll that changes the environment, you’ll need to throw it through a window while standing on a seesaw. After that, pick up the special doll again and walk towards the screen (basically move toward the camera). At the end of this path, go into the room on the right, and you’ll find another doll on the floor. This doll only appears if you’re carrying the special doll.
Third Doll
After you open the door using a fuse, push the trolley inside the newly opened room. Climb up the machine, and you’ll find the next doll waiting for you on top.
Third Ghost
Once you’ve been chased by the boss’s hand and dropped into a new area, you’ll reach a staircase you’re supposed to go up. Before climbing the stairs, check the upper left corner of the room there’s a ghost hiding there.
Fourth Doll
After another chase with the boss’s hand, you’ll come to a door that needs to be opened with a lever. Before pulling it, go to the back of the hallway to pick up this doll.
Fifth Doll
Right after finding the fourth Doll, you’ll take an elevator. When it stops, you’ll see a wooden plank and an opening on the right. Go through that opening, open the box to grab a key, and then head into the next room to find the final doll.
Fourth Ghost
After grabbing the last doll, leave the room and cross the wooden plank. Turn left and unlock the door with the key you just found. Inside, you’ll see the final ghost standing in front of a bed. Collecting all dolls unlocks the “Filed Away” :silver: and “Loose Threads” :gold: trophies.
Fifth Ghost
Right at the beginning of the chapter, start walking toward the main building but don’t go inside yet. Instead, move toward the screen (toward the camera) and go past a small staircase in front of the entrance. Behind it, you’ll find the first ghost standing near the wall. It’s a bit tricky to notice, so look closely.
