There is a Cult Stash very near to the Watery Lighthouse in Alan Wake 2, and players will need to bypass its lock before they can access its contents. This is done by rotating the lock's discs to three specific symbols, all of which can be found within the immediate area. This guide is here to help fans identify those symbols and put them together to create the combination that unlocks the Watery Lighthouse Cult Stash in Alan Wake 2.

Alan Wake 2: Watery Lighthouse Stash Combination

Players that are attempting to open the Watery Lighthouse Cult Stash should begin by pulling out their flashlight. This action will reveal that yellow paint has been used to mark Cult symbols that are in the area, and Alan Wake fans should focus exclusively on those that are marked with hash marks. Indeed, while there are several symbols near the Watery Lighthouse Cult Stash that are marked with a square, circle, or other shape, only those that are marked with a I, II, or III are relevant to this puzzle.

While players should certainly feel free to locate those markings for themselves, some survival horror video game fans may prefer to bypass that step and receive information about exactly what the relevant symbols are. Here is that information, and the map and images that are below it will help players find the symbols in-game:

  • I: Two stacked triangles pointing down.
  • II: Two stacked triangles pointing up.
  • III: Two side-by-side triangles pointing down.

Players should now return to the Watery Lighthouse Cult Stash in Alan Wake 2 and input those symbols into its lock. For full clarity, the top disc should be rotated so that the I symbol is aligned with the red line, the middle disc should be rotated so that the II symbol is aligned with the red line, and the bottom disc should be rotated so that the III symbol is aligned with the red line. To make sure that this perfectly clear, here is a picture of the lock with the correct code entered:

To note, players may want to take a moment to address Alan Wake 2's Watery Lighthouse Nursery Rhyme after they resolve the Cult Stash. Indeed, these two puzzles are very near to one another, and it is efficient to complete them both during the same trip to the area. This will not be possible if the player has not collected all the requisite Dolls, though, and they may need to plan for a return visit to the Lighthouse.
