Alan Wake 2 Guide – How to Solve the Father Doll Nursery Rhyme

Step 1: Prepare for the Father Doll Quest

Before you can embark on the quest to obtain the Father Doll, you must first complete all other Nursery Rhymes available in Bright Falls, Watery, and Cauldron Lake. Make sure you finish the two other locations before moving on to Cauldron Lake.

Step 2: Locate the Father Doll

Once you have completed all the other Nursery Rhymes, a new FBC Case will appear next to your reward. Inside this case, you will find the Father Doll. Collect it to unlock the ‘I’ll Find You’ achievement/trophy.

Step 3: The Witchfinder’s Station

Now that you possess the Father Doll, it’s time to head to Cauldron Lake and solve the final puzzle. The case instructs you to keep the doll away from the Witchfinder’s Station, so you’ll want to bring it to the cabin in Cauldron Lake.

Step 4: Solving the Father Doll Nursery Rhyme

Inside the Witchfinder’s Station in Streamside, the west area of the Cauldron Lake map, you will hear a nursery rhyme playing over the radio. Follow these steps to solve the puzzle:

  • Place the Father Doll on the Eye Symbol.
  • Place the Hero Doll on the Sun Symbol.
  • Place the Mother Doll on the Heart Symbol.
  • Place the Trickster Doll on the Water/Waves Symbol.
  • Place the Child Doll on the Hatching Egg Symbol.

After placing all the Dolls as instructed, you will receive a message on the radio located on the first floor of the Witchfinder’s Station. Interact with the radio until the person you’re communicating with disappears.

With the puzzle successfully solved, you will need to collect your reward. Use your flashlight to boost the dark presence spot in the station. Upon doing so, you will not only complete the Nursery Rhyme Case but also unlock the ‘Shift In Reality’ achievement/trophy.

By following these steps, you’ll successfully solve the Father Doll Nursery Rhyme puzzle in Alan Wake 2. Enjoy uncovering the secrets and achievements/trophies associated with this challenging case.
