Hats achievements and trophies

There are 12 hats in Little Nightmares 2. You’ll start with one hat — the paper bag hat — by default. Two are part of DLC — the Mokujin Mask and the nome hat. The final one — the fedora hat (or, as we think of it, the Indiana Jones hat) — is a reward for completing the game. The remaining eight appear throughout Little Nightmares 2’s chapters, with two in each.

Collecting Little Nightmares 2 hats will earn you three achievements and trophies:

  • Collecting half of the hats (six) gets you the Half Hat achievement or trophy.
  • Collecting all of the hats (12) gets you Far Ahead achievement or trophy.
  • Wearing the final hat — the fedora hat you get for completing the game — gets you the How Do I Look? achievement or trophy.

Glitching remains 1 | Chapter 1 – Wilderness

Not far into chapter 1, you’ll come to an unjumpable gap and a broken bridge. When you drop down to the bottom along the left side, you’ll see the remains of the bridge you’re going to climb back out. Instead, head to the bottom of the screen and continue right.

At the end of the tunnel, you’ll find this glitching remains.

Glitching remains 2 | Chapter 1 – Wilderness

A little past there, after your first encounter with the steel traps, you’ll slide down through a hollow log. At the bottom, turn around and duck underneath it to find another tunnel and this glitching remains.

Raccoon hat | Chapter 1 – Wilderness

Shortly after that, you’ll reach the house and enter through the kitchen. When you exit into the hallway, head down (toward the bottom of the screen) and into the room on the left side. This raccoon hat (coonskin cap?) is on the floor in the middle of the room.

Nome hat | Nome’s Attic DLC – Wilderness

If you have the Nome’s Attic DLC, there is technically a third hat in chapter 1. When you reach the attic, you’ll do some navigating to retrieve a key. Once you have the key, you’ll see a nome run past you to the right (but only if you have the DLC installed). Chase it to the left.

It’ll climb back up into the attic and try to hide from you. The numbers on the image above correspond to the steps below.

  1. Open the luggage along the top wall.
  2. Toss a shoe at the cardboard box against the right wall.
  3. Open the drawer on the left.
  4. Jump on the chair’s cushion a few times.

Follow the nome past the painting on the right. It’ll be dark in here, but just keep walking right until the nome lights a match.

The nome will stay roughly above you as you move, so lead it to the right along the walkway at the top of the room. When it runs out of places to walk, pull the cart over to it. It’ll jump on, and you can push it to the right some more.

Keep leading the nome right, and it’ll open a cage door for you, and light a lantern. Flip the switch in that room to turn on the lights in the attic, and then backtrack to the left.

Stay along the bottom of the screen. When you reach a filing cabinet, pull out the bottom drawer. Climb up, and follow the same path you led the nome along back into the caged room.

When you return to the cage, you’ll pick up the nome hat. (Follow the nome through the hole in the wall to return to your new friend.)

Glitching remains 3 | Chapter 1 – Wilderness

The next glitching remains isn’t until after you’ve exited the house with your new friend. After the attic, you’ll unlock the back door. Just outside, you’ll see an outhouse. Get a boost up to the handle, and open the door to find this glitching remains inside.

Rain hat | Chapter 1 – Wilderness

After you escape the shotgun-wielding man, you’ll have to jump across a broken bridge with the help of your new friend.

Just on the other side of the gap, there’s a stack of cages against a tree. Climb those cages, and then jump to the left onto the hanging cage. Climb to the top, and jump a few times to knock it down. You’ll find the yellow rain hat inside.

Glitching remains 4 | Chapter 1 – Wilderness

The final glitching remains is at the very end of the chapter. After you ending-of-Titanic escape from the woods, you’ll arrive on a beach. Head to the top of the screen.


Glitching remains 5 | Chapter 2 – School

Early in chapter 2, after you pass through the diner, you’ll use a TV set to lift yourself up to the second floor. After you use another set to lift your new friend up, she’ll help you across a long gap. At the top of the stairs, take the left. You’ll find this glitching remains at the top of the screen, looking at the hanging TV.

Glitching remains 6 | Chapter 2 – School

After your first encounter with the creepy TV and slow-motion hallway, you’ll continue over toward the school. In the playground just before it, head to the top right by the dumpster and the broken tricycle to find this glitching remains. (This is the same place you’ll find the soccer ball hat.)

Soccer ball hat | Chapter 2 – School

There are two hats to find in chapter 2 as you work your way through the school and past the (horrifying) schoolteacher.

In the same playground, you’ll find the old-fashioned soccer ball hat on top of the dumpster by the school’s front door. Head up to the (locked) door, and jump the railing to reach it.

Glitching remains 7 | Chapter 2 – School

After your first encounter with the creepy schoolchildren, you’ll find yourself on your own. The next room has stacked desks and a swinging bucket trap. After that, you’ll be in another hallway.

Pull open the third locker (the only one without its latch closed) to find this glitching remains.

Tin can hat | Chapter 2 – School

A little later, after riding the elevator and a trip through the air ducts, you’ll reach the library.

As soon as you drop in, you’ll see a rolling ladder. Move it one shelf to the right, and then climb up to find the tin can hat.

Glitching remains 8 | Chapter 2 – School

The next glitching remains is after the library and just before the chess piece puzzle on the second floor. Head up the stairs. Instead of going right to the chess piece puzzle, head around to the left. At the bottom, you’ll spot this glitching remains sitting in the broken railing below the two bottles.

Glitching remains 9 | Chapter 2 – School

Immediately after the chess piece puzzle, you’ll unlock a door into the cafeteria. Down the first set of stairs, you’ll see a cart you’ll use to continue.

Once you move the cart, push open the door on the left instead of climbing out of this hall. This glitching remains is on a chest (freezer?) on the left. Use the lunch lady’s body to climb up (gross).

Glitching remains 10 | Chapter 2 – School

After you escape the teacher through the air ducts, you’ll be back on the rainy streets. Just past the dumpster you have to close and then climb across, you’ll pass a small alley with a paper boat on the ground.

Walk up into that alley to find this glitching remains.


Glitching remains 11 | Chapter 3 – Hospital

After you escape the School, you’ll (eventually) head into the hospital. A little way in, you’ll find the flashlight.

One room to the right of where you pick it up, run up toward the back of the room. You’ll find this glitching remains by the wagon there.

Teddy bear hat | Chapter 3 – Hospital

After you escape the school, you’ll head into the hospital.

Shortly after your second Poltergeist-TV encounter, you’ll pass through an X-ray room and into a nursery. This is where you’ll find the stuffed animals and the cymbal-banging monkey toy (which is called a Jolly Chimp, apparently), one of which has the key inside it. Climb to the top of the shelves along the right wall to find the teddy bear hat.

Glitching remains 12 | Chapter 3 – Hospital

Once you retrieve the key from the X-ray room, you’ll head upstairs and through the locked door. In the next hallway, there will be stacks of beds/cribs/cages along the walls.

Head up to the end of the hall, and this glitching remains will be at the end.

Glitching remains 13 | Chapter 3 – Hospital

After you retrieve the first of the two fuses you need to proceed, you’ll start running into the hospital’s mannequins — the patients. You’ll come to a long hallway full of grabbing arms that reach through the doors (you’ll definitely know it when you see it).

In that hall, instead of running down, head up and through the hole in the bars behind the door. Take a left into the room there to find this glitching remains — just don’t fall in the hole.

Glitching remains 14 | Chapter 3 – Hospital

Right after escape the hallway full of horrifying arms, you’ll dodge a few more crawling patients and drop into a shower room.

Head to the top left corner and pull the box away from the wall. Head through the air duct there to find this glitching remains.

Bandage hat | Chapter 3 – Hospital

After you pass a whole lot of mannequins and after your first encounter with the doctor, you’ll drop from the ceiling into the morgue.

As soon as you drop to the floor, head to the left. Once you’re pushed through the … body filing cabinet(?) continue left. Just past the dissection table, head to the door along the floor right next to the table. Inside, you’ll pick up the bandage hat (or maybe mummy hat).


Glitching remains 15 | Chapter 4 – Pale City

As soon as you defeat the doctor and exit the hospital, you’ll drop onto a city street.

Head up along the street to the end, and look for a manhole. Climb the ladder to the bottom to find this glitching remains.

Glitching remains 16 | Chapter 4 – Pale City

Just a little past there, you’ll meet your first few viewers — the faceless, TV-obsessed people-things. After them, you’ll come to the elevator puzzle (where you have to jump on top of the elevator).

When you reach the top and see the huge elevator pulley (which is, apparently, called a sheave), head to the lower left. Pull the box away from the wall, and duck into the air duct. You’ll find this glitching remain in the room on the other end.

Glitching remains 17 | Chapter 4 – Pale City

A couple rooftops later — during which, you’ll get a really good look at the signal tower — you’ll come to an elaborate fence leading up to more roofs.

Instead of climbing it, head behind, and use the boxes to climb up to the open window. You’ll find this glitching remains inside.

Mail carrier hat | Chapter 4

After you escape the hospital, you’ll spend a long time making your way through the city and through more than a few TV sets.

Eventually, right after you pick up the remote control, you’ll enter a room full of packages (presumably, a mail room). Drop into the gap in the floor, and head to the left side. There’s a hidden tunnel in the wall. Inside that air duct, you’ll pick up the mail carrier hat (or postman or mailman hat that also kind of looks like a police hat).

Glitching remains 18 | Chapter 4 – Pale City

A bit later, after you and Six get separated following another harrowing TV encounter, you’ll pick up the remote and cross through the mail room (where you’ll pick up the postman hat).

After the mail room, you’ll ride a long coat hanger zip line. At the other end, turn around, and climb back out the window. Head up along the roof to the next window on the right, and climb inside to find the final glitching remains.

Newsie hat | Chapter 4

Much later, and many more TV sets later, you’ll head through an alley and into a store.

Head to the right side to find a shopping cart. Pull it over to the leftmost shelf (not quite to the wall). Climb up onto the shelves, and continue into the top left corner of the room (by the drawing of a dog on the wall). Pick up the newsie cap (or newsboy cap).
