The Alan Wake 2 Rhymes are just one of many puzzles available that give you access to charms as a form of reward. These charms are then used to get different buffs, such as more health, a chance of revival, and much more. However, solving these rhymes can be quite tricky.

Key Takeaways

Nursery Rhymes are a form of riddle that is only available for Saga Anderson, and they reward her with powerful Charms.
The Nursery Rhymes in Alan Wake 2 requires you to attain dolls found near each rhyme and then place them on the right drawings.
After placing the dolls in the right spot, a reward in the form of a Charm will spawn nearby.
Each charm provides different buffs to Saga Anderson.
Make sure to collect each doll after completing the Rhymes, as they’re needed for the others as well in each region of the game.
After completing every single rhyme, the Final Rhyme will open up in Cauldron Lake, at the Witchfinder Station, for a secret ending to the case.

My Tips For Alan Wake 2 Rhymes

The rhymes are one of the easiest to complete once you know their locations and their solutions. They mainly require you just to collect dolls, which are usually within the area. After that, you only need to know where to place each doll. After that, you will unlock a charm as a reward that is in the vicinity. Once I knew all of these things, I was able to get past most of the rhymes with ease.

With that, you know all about the Rhymes in Alan Wake 2. They’re one of the major collectibles, and they provide you with charms that can give you useful buffs.
