There is a Private Cabin in the Streamside area of Alan Wake 2's Cauldron Lake, and there is a Nursery Rhyme puzzle in front of it. While this puzzle is not extremely difficult to solve, provided that the player has the Dolls that are required to do so, finding the associated reward can be a bit tricky. Regardless of exactly what aspect of Alan Wake 2's Private Cabin Nursery Rhyme puzzle a player is struggling with, this guide is here to help.

Alan Wake 2: Private Cabin Nursery Rhyme Puzzle

Find Crow Doll

Players that hope to solve the Private Cabin Nursery Rhyme puzzle must first collect the Crow Doll, which is sitting on a picnic table in the campsite on the west side of the Streamside area. The precise position of that location has been marked on the map that is above, and Alan Wake fans can use the Crow Doll to solve a Nursery Rhyme on the ground before leaving.

Find Hero Doll & Wolf Doll

Players must now set their sights on collecting the Hero Doll and Wolf Doll, both of which are upstairs in Alan Wake 2's Witchfinder's Station, a location in the northwest corner of Cauldron Lake. More specifically, those Dolls are just outside the wooden playpen that is upstairs, and fans can use them to solve a Nursery Rhyme puzzle that is on the ground in front of the building.

Solve the Private Cabin Nursery Rhyme

With all three Dolls in hand, players should make their way to the Private Cabin and interact with the Nursery Rhyme on the ground outside. Fans should then place the Crow Doll on the Egg, the Hero Doll on the Heart, and the Wolf Doll on the House. A visual distortion will then appear onscreen, indicating that the puzzle has been solved, and players may want to use the Private Cabin to make a manual save in Alan Wake 2 before they run off to collect their reward.

Find Reward

Players should now head northward to the small pool of water that is visible on the map. Here, fans will find a small red house on the ground, and the reward is directly next to it. That reward is the Kalevala Knights Charm, which increases the duration and area of effect of Hand Flares when equipped.

To note, while players are near the Private Cabin, they may want to take a moment to address the Cult Stash that is directly to its east. To open that stash, fans must solve Alan Wake 2's Rock Rock Tree puzzle, and they will find a Hand Flare, Propane Tank, and First Aid Kit inside it.

Alan Wake 2 is out now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
