Unveiling Alan Wake 2: Complete Guide to Nursery Rhyme Locations, Solutions, and Doll Discoveries

In Alan Wake 2, there are a total of 13 Dolls and 17 Nursery Rhymes. Players who aim to unlock the achievements I'll Find You, Shift in Reality, and Rustic Charm will need to address all of them. While it is not a particularly challenging task, fans may encounter difficulties when solving the Nursery Rhyme puzzles. This guide is designed to assist those players, providing detailed information on all the Dolls and Nursery Rhymes in Alan Wake 2.

It is important to note that players will not be able to solve all the Nursery Rhymes before obtaining the Bolt Cutters in Alan Wake 2. This item becomes available during Return 5: Old Gods.

Players should retrieve the doll and proceed towards the Witchfinder's Station situated in the northwest corner of the Cauldron Lake map. Upon reaching the station, the dolls should be positioned as follows:

Father on eye by downstairs desk.

Hero on sun in downstairs bedroom.

Mother on heart in kitchen.

Child on chick in upstairs playpen.

A mischievous character riding a wave is found in the bathroom upstairs.

After placing the Dolls in their designated spots, fans are encouraged to interact with the radio located on the desk downstairs. By doing so, a new item will materialize beside the radio, which, when collected, grants Saga Anderson from Alan Wake 2 an extra slot on her Charm Bracelet.

Alan Wake 2 is available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
