This guide will go through all Rhyme puzzle locations in Alan Wake 2 to help you get all Saga Anderson Charms available. These charms can be tricky to find since you first need to find various dolls and then place them on the right pictures. While some riddles are tricky, we’ll go through all the answers to help you solve everything easily and quickly.
Alan Wake 2 All Rhyme puzzle locations
There are 17 Rhyme puzzle locations in Alan Wake 2 and they are found in three areas: Cauldron Lake, Watery, and Bright Falls. In each puzzle, you’ll need to place certain dolls on certain pictures. In some puzzles you’ll find new dolls, while in others you’ll need to use dolls from previous puzzles. Also, follow the puzzles in numerical order, to make sure you’ll never have to backtrack for certain dolls.
Keep in mind that you can only collect Rhymes when playing as Saga Anderson. For Alan Wake upgrades, here are all inventory upgrade locations for Alan Wake.
