Unveiling Alan Wake 2: Uncovering the Locations & Solutions for All Cult Stashes

In Alan Wake 2, there are a total of 22 Cult Stashes, each of which offers players a puzzle to solve or a key to discover. It is not obligatory for fans to open all of these containers, but doing so will grant a key that allows them to enter the Watery Lighthouse. For players eager to obtain this key, the following guide provides comprehensive information on locating and unlocking all the Cult Stashes in Alan Wake 2. Prior to delving into the specifics, it may be helpful to clarify a few points.

This guide offers essential information for locating and accessing Cult Stashes. To learn detailed information about individual Cult Stashes, players can click on their respective headers.

Initially, players may not be able to open all the Cult Stashes when they are in proximity. They will need to revisit these containers after the flooding in the area has subsided or once they have acquired the Bolt Cutters.
