Little Nightmares 3: Planetarium Puzzle Solution and Power Restoration Guide

Little Nightmares 3 is the long-awaited continuation of the famous 2.5D platformer series. The project invites you on a journey through the fictional world of Low, filled with challenging puzzles and dangerous monsters. In this guide, we’ll explain how to restore electricity and correctly arrange the planetarium mechanism at the start of the third chapter, Carnaval.

At the beginning of the third story chapter Carnaval, you need to catch a Nome—a little gnome in a white cap. The creature will give you a power cell if you start the furnace by hitting the big button with a wrench. This way, you’ll activate the elevator and reach the next level.

As a result, you’ll find yourself in a dark hall, where a planetary mechanism is located on the floor in the center under a round glass cover. To make it appear, you first need to turn on the electricity.

Move to the right to the end of the dark hall until you come across a barred door. Enter the room through the ventilation opening on the left. You’ll see a large gray box with buttons and a lever to the right of it.

Slide the screen on the wall to the right by hanging on it, and you’ll see a clue on the yellow poster. To supply power to the hall, you need to hit the big gray button with a wrench, and then shoot the small keys in a specific order with your bow.

The bulbs above the buttons will light up one by one. Therefore, you need to shoot these keys:

When the bulbs above the correct buttons are lit, approach the lever with your partner and pull it down.

Return to the dark hall and find the lever stand under the canopy on the right side. Lower it, and a planetary mechanism with five platforms will appear in the center of the room.

The platforms rotate depending on the position of the first arrow. Imagine that the circle on the floor is a clock face. Grab the bottom part and place it at about eight o’clock.

The correct positioning of the planetary mechanism platforms will allow you to climb into the upper right part of the dark hall, where a passage opens to the location with the hanging bathtub. This way, the heroes can reach the surface and meet Kin, the boss of the chapter.
