Little Nightmares 2 has arrived and developer Tarsier Studios is hoping to build on what they got right in the first game, namely its sinister world and compelling story content, and improve on the overall feel of its gameplay. If you’re here, you are probably stuck and wondering how to destroy obstacles and barriers in Little Nightmares 2. Fortunately, it’s not too hard, you just need to know how to do it. Let’s dive in.

How to Destroy Obstacles & Barriers in Little Nightmares 2

There are certain areas in the game where you’ll have to break through glass or other obstructions in your way.

To do this, you’ll need to pick up an object holding R2. Depending on the item, you’ll either use it to throw at the obstruction or to attack with in order to destroy the obstruction.

To do either, pick up the object with R2. Hold R2 down while dragging or carrying the object to whatever you need to break. Press X, A, or Y to throw or attack with the object and break the barrier.

That’s all there is to it. From there you should be able to carry on with whatever it is you were doing at the time and move on to more complicated puzzles and platforming.

That’s all you need to know for how to destroy obstacles & barriers in Little Nightmares 2. Hopefully, with this information in hand, you’re able to cruise through the rest of Little Nightmares 2… well the physical obstacles anyway. Can’t help you with all of the, you know, nightmares out there.
