Nursery Rhyme Puzzle Solutions Guide In Alan Wake 2

Full Guide Intro

Nursery Rhymes are one of the most memorable collectible puzzle systems in Alan Wake 2. Each rhyme consists of a poem, several symbols, and collectible dolls that must be placed correctly to trigger supernatural events and rewards.

Most Nursery Rhymes reward powerful Charms that provide passive gameplay bonuses for Saga Anderson. Some increase healing, others improve combat, survivability, or exploration.

There are 17 total Nursery Rhymes spread across Cauldron Lake, Watery, and Bright Falls. Completing every puzzle unlocks the final rhyme inside Witchfinder’s Station.

How Nursery Rhymes Work

Each rhyme requires:

• specific dolls
• matching symbols
• environmental observation

When solved correctly:

• dark footprints may appear
• enemies can spawn
• hidden rewards become available
• charms are unlocked

Always remember to pick your dolls back up after solving a puzzle. Many future rhymes reuse earlier dolls.
