The Cult of the Tree loves hiding different stashes around Bright Falls for some reason. Not only did they hide them everywhere, but they had to create riddles and puzzles to prevent Saga from opening them. We didn’t really like the idea of being locked out of stashes just because a cult wanted us to be so we wrote out all the cult stash locations in Alan Wake 2.
There are cult stashes just about everywhere you look in Cauldron Lake, Bright Falls, and Watery. You’ll need to spend some time progressing through the game in order to get to some of these stashes. Just ensure that you come back to this list whenever you get to a new area as Saga so that you don’t miss out on any cult stashes.
