Alan Wake 2: Code combination for stash box near crime scene

Stash box near the crime scene at Cauldron Lake in Alan Wake 2

This Alan Wake 2 guide details the code combination for the stash box near the Cauldron Lake crime scene.

The end of 2023 is shaping up to be a great season for gaming. Alan Wake 2 has received fantastic reviews from critics and I for one am thoroughly enjoying my time exploring Bright Falls.

After the mysterious opening sequence that follows an unknown male on the terrifying walk to his death, players take control of FBI agent Saga Anderson who is joined by her partner, Alex Casey.

This section of the game gave me serious The X-Files vibes – and I’m not complaining. Investigating the enigmatic cult murder felt like something right out of one of Mulder and Scully’s cases from the 90s.

When I reached the crime scene, I had to look for clues as to what happened to the victim (who turned out to be a former FBI agent himself).

While exploring the area, I came across a locked stash box outside of a run-down trailer. The box was protected by a combination lock that required a code consisting of three symbols.

Let’s take a look at the combination code for the stash box near the Cauldron Lake crime scene.
