Little Nightmares – All Nome Locations

Find all of the Nomes in Little Nightmares so you can give each one a big hug!

Little Nightmares – All Nome Locations

Recommended Videos

The Nomes in Little Nightmares (also known as Gnomes outside of the game) are tiny creatures that generally run at first sight, but will eventually let you get close to them. Little Nightmares Nomes are one of two collectible items in the games. To collect a Nome you must grab it, which results in a hug. If you hug a Nome in Little Nightmares it is considered to be collected. This article covers the location of every Nome in Little Nightmares, broken up by the area where you’ll find each one.

It’s important to note that you won’t find the Little Nightmates Nomes in some of these locations if you don’t scare them first. For example, the first Nome in The Prison area only appears in the secret room if you open the refrigerator first so the Nome can run into the room. If you’re having trouble finding a Nome listed below, go through that area in our Little Nightmares game hub to make sure you scared it into position first.

The Prison

  • Number of Nomes: 3

Nome 1 – In the room with the refrigerator in the middle, look to the far right to find a small opening in the foreground. There’s a Nome in the room to the right of the opening.

Nome 2 – After you reach the first room with the spotlight eye, climb up the mountain of cages to the right of the spotlight, but stop before you reach the floor above. There’s a Nome in a cage to the far right. You can reach the cage by walking along the top row of cages, then jumping to the right, or by taking a running jump to the right and grabbing the ledge (if you’re just short) by holding R2 (PS4) or RT (Xbox) to stop yourself from falling to the floor (and dying). Crawl through the cage and into the next room, then grab the Nome.

Nome 3 – After you climb the filing cabinets to turn off the power a second time, move to the far left side of the room and light the lantern, then look in the background and pull open the crate to free the Nome. It runs back into the room to the right and hides in the left corner of the room. Go back into the previous room and hug the Nome.

Nome 2 – Once you pick up the lever on the floor and insert it into the pillar to open the hatch on the floor, drop down into the hatch. In the next room to the right you can climb the crates to the right, but instead, climb up the ladder in the background on the right. Move the boxes at the top to reveal a small passage, then drop down into the next room to find a Nome.
