The Midnight Walk Guide: ‘Chapter 3' Walkthrough & All Collectibles
The Midnight Walk Guide: Chapter 3
Chapter 3 has the most collectibles in the game, with 21 in total. While many are in plain sight, some are well-hidden, and the game often blocks backtracking, so keep an eye out as you progress!
When you begin the chapter, move past the NPC holding an umbrella and follow Potboy to the path on the right. You'll find a hatch here holding Gramophone Disc #7 (All Darkness Vanishes).
Continue on the linear path and enter Housey. When you exit, be sure to pick up Shellphone #13 just behind you, in the direction that the giant NPC is travelling.
Follow Housey up the main road until it stops. When it does, drop down to the lower level. Just to the right of the large cat (pictured below), check the hatch to grab Story Page #6 (Who Took The Sun Away?).
The Ice Mines
Back to top ↑
Head up the path to the right of the big cat and you'll find yourself inside the mines.
Close your eyes by each of the blue frogs around the circle until you move counter-clockwise to the opening of the cave. Once you get rid of this frog, you'll be able to step through.
However, do be sure to open the hatch to the right of the second frog, on the top box on the stack pictured below. Inside you'll find Gramophone Disc #8 (I Trappan).
Move through the caves until you reach a room filled with pipes. Ignore the pipes in the main area and take the stairs on the right to find a hidden pipe.
This will send Potboy to the higher platforms on the left. Next, take the right pipe to move Potboy to the back chamber (pictured below).
Stand on the platform and have Potboy light the furnace to rise to the next room. When the platform rises, proceed through into the next room with the candles.
Keep lighting the candles as you move through the darkness. At the third candle, take the path to the right and at the end, you'll find Shellphone #14.
Return to the main path and when the track splits again, take the path to the right, where you'll find a hatch holding Clay Figurine #8 (The Moonbird).
Follow the train tracks on the main path and when you drop down to the lower level, open the hatch to the right and grab Gramophone Disc #9 (Alla Sover).
Keep moving, destroying the frogs as you go, until you reach the outside area.
The Frozen Wasteland
Back to top ↑
In this area you need to keep close to Potboy and any fires from candles to prevent freezing to death.
Light the first candle then move with Potboy through the wasteland. At the third candle you light, you'll find a hatch just to the right on a circular shell that will hold Story Page #7 (Who Took The Sun Away?).
Time your movements with Potboy to avoid the frozen winds. When the wind dies down, move quickly, and always have a match ready to reignite Potboy if his fire goes out.
Coalhaven Town
Back to top ↑
At the end of this section, the winds will subside and you'll reach the town, just after the chapter title pops up.
There's a map just on the right as you enter and a well in the middle with an eye, Just to the left of this, you'll find Shellphone #15.
Next, launch a lit match into the well to receive a key. Use the key to unlock the house just to the left of the well and next to the matchbox.
Inside, use Potboy to activate the switch then head outside and face the gas boiler in the distance. Use your Matchlock to light the boiler and unlock the next path.
Enter the door behind the boiler and immediately turn left. The hatch here holds Gramophone Disc #10 (Trostetankar i Juletid).
Place Potboy on the switch on the other side of the interior then head outside and light the second boiler with your Matchlock, right next to the large locked door.
The Bone Puzzle Area
Back to top ↑
On the other side of the doorway, head directly forward and grab Shellphone #16.
Once you grab this, take the far left path, under the frozen bride, and look for the second set of stairs on the right to find another hatch, holding Clay Figurine #9 (The Soulfisher).
Return to the main path and this time go directly forward, past the bridge with a frozen lake. On the left, you'll find two stairwells. Take the stairwell on the right to find another hatch holding Clay Figurine #10 (A Nameless Creature).
Back on the main path, beyond the little well, head up the stairs where you'll find another house. At the top of the small set of stairs outside it, you'll find Gramophone Disc #11 (The Lullaby).
With all of this done, head up to the neon wisp, where you'll be given a task of retrieving various bones from around this area. First up, grab the Thief's Right Arm from the floor and add it to the grave.
The Thief's Right Leg
Back to top ↑
With the chain broken, follow the Wisp to this new area. Close your eyes to remove the red eye from the coffin, and be sure to do the same with the creature that will approach you.
Light a match and use sound to find the coffins with eyes. Follow the sounds into the cave, keeping your match lit for visibility. Inside, listen carefully to find the correct coffins. When you retrieve the Thief's Right Leg from one of the coffins, don't equip it right away, as this will put out your match and plunge the cave into darkness.
This is a problem because another Nameless creature will show up and you'll need to get rid of its blinking red eye to progress. Without a lit match, it's very difficult to see what direction it's coming!
Return the leg to the open grave to open up another path forward.
The Thief's Left Arm
Back to top ↑
Follow the Wisp across to the newly opened door, and you'll find Story Page #8 (Who Took The Sun Away?) inside a hatch to the left.
Keep moving up the hill and you'll eventually come to a house up on the hill with a red door.
Before we can open this up, take a right and at the bottom of the stairs, open the door by placing Potboy on the marked location (pictured below) so he lights three of the candles at once. While he does this, use your Matchlock and position yourself by the two other candles to light both at the same time and open the way forward.
Grab the mask from the newly-unlocked door and place it on the man's face outside. He will clear a path through to an open area with Crawlers.
Crawlers in the Ice
Back to top ↑
Use the Matchlock to light the candle just to the right of the matchbox. When the Crepeer moves, use Potboy to light rhe cauldron then quickly stand on the platform to be eleated to the higher level.
Activate the switch, to turn on the gas then light it with the Matchlock.
Head through the door that's opened and follow the path along and grab the key. When you head back outside again, just up beyond the chase sequence with the Crawlers, you'll find a hatch holding Clay Figurine #11 (The Crawler) inside.
Use the key on the house and grab the Thief's Left Arm. Just to the left, inside the house, you'll find Shellphone #17.
Return the arm to the grave to unlock another route.
The Thief's Skull
Back to top ↑
Follow the wisp to this new route, but when you reach the open area with large gravestones in the distance, look to your right and you'll find a hatch holding Clay Figurine #12 (Auntie Murkle).
Just past this you'll find a bunch of NPCs and an open area to the left, with a slope leading up near some houses. Just next to this, you'll find Shellphone #18.
Return to the main path and head down the stairs, and you'll find an NPC with a skull in her hands. After talking to her, follow the wisp but look to your left just next to the NPC on this pathway and you'll find a hatch holding Story Page #9 (Who Took The Sun Away?).
Next, track down the Key Critter. Similar to the coffin minigame, follow the jingling sounds through the forest to find the Critter. Open the hatches on the trees and keep moving to the next area when it scurries away.
Just before we reach this section, light a match from the matchbox and look out for the first red eye that will open a path through the woods just behind (pictured below).
While finding the Critter, do be aware of enemies that pop up here, which can be defeated by closing your eyes and focusing on their Red Eye to get rid of them.
At the end of this section, grab the key and open the door over the bridge. Keep moving through the cave and use Potboy to light the Songcatcher on the floor by pressing Square (X) next to it. Then, use the Wardrobe (by removing the blue eye) to activate a shortcut back to the Skull-holding NPC.
Grab the Thief's Skull after returning the Songcatcher and return to the grave once more to complete the skeleton quest.
Follow the wisp out the graveyard and with all chains removed from the large furnace in this area, use Potboy to head into the pipe just left of the huge contraption, which should now be unlocked. After entering, press Square (x) three times to light the fire within.
Finally, head back to the grave and take the blanket from the ghost by pressing X (A). Take a match and light the unlit match in the ghost's hand and she'll disappear.
To exit out this area, head inside the wardrobe in front of the big cat which has appeared at the foot of the furnace path. When you emerge on the other side, you'll unlock the Achievement: The Tale of Coalhaven for finishing Chapter 3. Onwards and upwards!

The eye-watering price a rare Labubu doll sold for at auction
A one-of-a-kind Labubu doll has sold for a staggering $150,000 at auction. The collectible dolls, beloved for their odd but cute look, have become a worldwide sensation with a loyal cult following. The sharp-toothed doll that's over four feet tall was a hot item at the Yongle International Auction in Beijing this month. Most of the plush, furry dolls, which have big teeth and elf-like ears, are pocket-sized and cost around $30. The auction was the first to be dedicated to Labubu-brand products, which are made by Chinese toy company Pop Mart. Nearly 1,000 participants were bidding online or in person for at least one of 48 lots that were up for sale. By the end of the auction, all of the Labubu collectibles were sold, racking in more than $500,000 in sales. The auction house is now planning to hold more events dedicated to this toy brand due to the 'growing momentum of pop art in the auction market.' These trendy dolls have taken the world by storm, and have featured as arm candy for A-listers like Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and Blackpink member Lisa. The fan favorite toys were created by Hong Kong-native Kasing Lung in 2015. Lung created Labubu after being inspired by a character in a picture book series full of magical creatures. Pop Mart describes Labubu as a 'small monster with high, pointed ears and serrated teeth' that is 'kind-hearted and always wants to help, but often accidentally achieves the opposite.' What started out as a $30 toy has since become a product that has been spotted on resale websites for thousands of dollars and has even featured as an alternative bouquet toss at a wedding. Besides the mint-green Labubu figurine, the Beijing auction sold a similar-sized doll for over $100,000, that toy being one of 15 in the world. Other items in the Labubu collection sold for over $1,000 each. Each buyer was required to pay an additional 15 percent brokerage fee, along with the winning bid amounts. 'As a trendy toy in China, Labubu is now becoming a global artwork as it has truly sparked a craze around the world,' Zhao Xu, the founder of Yongle Auction, told state-owned outlet The Beijing News via CNN. Labubus are now being seen as a status symbol, with wealthy people hanging them off their pricey Hermès bags A person holds up Labubu dolls in a store in Beijing this month Because of these dolls, Pop Mart is taking over the toy market with a yeh$46.1 million marketing cap. The company finished 2024 with $1.8 billion in revenue, with $700 million coming from non-mainland shoppers, according to Fortune. 'We've seen the community play a huge role in fueling this movement—whether it's fans sharing display shelves, TikTok videos, or styling their bag charms,' said Emily Brough, Pop Mart's head of IP licensing for the Americas. 'We're seeing surging interest from Gen Z and millennials, particularly those drawn to fashion, art, and nostalgia-infused collectibles.' With the Labubu phenomenon rising, the company, which currently has over 500 stores, is looking to keep move forward. 'In the US, we've had families queuing at 6:00 am for store openings and first-time collectors grabbing blind boxes alongside seasoned fans,' Brough said. 'With a goal of 50 US store openings this year, Pop Mart's community is only growing.'

By combining the power of PC gaming with the accessibility of a console, Microsoft is creating a platform that adapts to the evolving needs of the gaming community. Microsoft and AMD: Powering the Future of Gaming Central to the next-gen Xbox's capabilities is Microsoft's enduring partnership with AMD, a collaboration that has consistently pushed the boundaries of gaming technology. This relationship, which began with the Xbox One, has reached new heights with the integration of AMD's Ryzen Z2 Extreme AI chip.

‘Bro, my lilacs are crazy': why boys love virtual gardening
I first realised something was up when I heard the classical music coming from the iPad as my 11-year-old sat there swiping. 'Teddy, are you listening to Mozart's Rondo alla Turca?' I asked. 'Oh. It's this game I'm playing on Roblox,' he responded. I became more suspicious when I tuned into the conversations his friends were having at the school gates. There was talk of 'pollinators', 'honeysuckle' and 'seed packs'. Boys were greeting one another with sentences like 'Bro, my lilacs have gone crazy' and discussing the challenges of succulents. Naturally, I assumed this was standard pre-teen drug slang. But no, they genuinely were talking about horticulture, albeit virtual horticulture. Yes, the game of the moment is Grow a Garden, a simulator hosted on the gaming platform Roblox, in which users have to grow carrots and daffodils and ember lilies, then sell them at market and make their fortunes.
