Welcome to our guide on obtaining the lighthouse key in Alan Wake 2! In this blog post, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of finding cult stashes and using the key to unlock the lighthouse door. Along the way, we'll also provide some additional narrative context and rewards for completing this collectible-driven questline. Let's dive in!

In Alan Wake 2, exploring is key to finding the cult stashes. These stashes are scattered throughout Watery, Cauldron Lake, and Bright Falls. They contain valuable resources and clues that help unravel the story of the Cult of the Tree.

The 22nd cult stash holds the coveted lighthouse key. Keep an eye out for Saga's note, which provides a hint about the location of this specific stash. It might be hidden in a seemingly inconspicuous place, so be thorough in your search.

Once you have obtained the lighthouse key, it's time to head back to the lighthouse in Watery. However, before doing so, it's important to note that there may be a point of no return in the game. Make sure you have completed any essential tasks or side missions before proceeding, as returning to the lighthouse may trigger a series of events that lead to the endgame.

If you're unsure about the pre-endgame parts for Saga, refer to your map for guidance. It will help you navigate through the game world and ensure that you don't miss any crucial steps before reaching the lighthouse.

Once you reach the top of the hill where the lighthouse stands, it's time to use the lighthouse key you obtained. Approach the door and interact with it to unlock it with your key. As the door swings open, prepare yourself for what lies ahead.

Inside the lighthouse, you'll find an abundance of supplies stored for the cult's activities. Take some time to explore the area and gather resources that will aid you in your journey. You may also come across manuscript pages that delve into the history and beliefs of the Cult of the Tree.

As you explore the lighthouse, keep an eye out for manuscript pages scattered throughout the area. These pages provide additional narrative context and insight into the characters and events surrounding the Cult of the Tree.

One set of manuscript pages sheds light on the Koskela brothers, providing an alternate view of the Bright Falls raid from their perspective. This additional perspective adds depth to the story and allows you to see events from different angles.

For completionists, don't forget about the "Hidden by The Trees" trophy/achievement. To unlock this achievement, you'll need to collect all cult stashes and lunch boxes as part of the requirement. This adds an extra layer of challenge and rewards you for thorough exploration.
