There is a Cult Stash near the Crow's Foot Hills in Alan Wake 2's Cauldron Lake, and players will need to use a key in order to access its contents. Specifically, fans must use the Streamside Stash Key, and some players may struggle to locate it. Alternatively, a player may find the Streamside Stash Key but not know where to use it. Regardless of the situation in which fans find themselves, this guide to Alan Wake 2's Streamside Stash Key is here to help.
Alan Wake 2: Streamside Stash Key & Containers Locations
As previously noted, the container that is opened with the Streamside Stash Key is near the Crow's Foot Hills, which are situated in the southwest quadrant of Cauldron Lake. More specifically, the container is in the campsite to the north of the Crow's Foot Hills, and its precise position has been marked on the map that is above.
With respect to the location of the Streamside Stash Key, players that make their way to the campsite that is north of the Crow's Foot Hills, turn on their flashlights, and face southward should see a series of yellow arrows on the trees. Those arrows point southward, and Alan Wake fans that follow them will be taken directly to the key, which is sitting on top of a rock. For full clarity, the position of the Streamside Stash Key has also been marked on the map in this guide, and players are free to return to the container once they have it in hand.
With respect to what players will find inside the container that is opened by the Streamside Stash Key, it holds a Hand Flare, some Shotgun Ammo, and a Trauma Pad. While these may not be the most exciting items, they can prove to be extremely valuable, especially in the early chapters of Alan Wake 2. Fans are thus advised to take a momemnt to address the Streamside Stash Key and container before continuing to explore Cauldron Lake.
To note, this is certainly not the only Cult Stash in Cauldron Lake, and there is actually another one within the area designated as Streamside. While players will not need a key to open that container, they will need to solve Alan Wake 2's Rock Rock Tree puzzle. This may appear to be a difficult endeavor upon first glance, though players that keep the lessons that they learned from the Streamside Stash Key in mind should eventually be able to resolve the puzzle.
Alan Wake 2 is available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
