You stand over the puzzle board, breath shallow, hearing only the hum of static from your headphones. I felt that shove of panic when the riddle made no sense; you will too if you trust instinct over method. By the time you place the last Doll, you’ll know exactly why patience matters in Phasmophobia’s Alan Wake event.

I’ll walk you through this specific riddle so you don’t waste time wandering. You already know the set-up: you must place four Dolls on four drawings keyed to the final riddle sheet. The correct placements are surgical, not symbolic.
Place the child Doll on the tree drawing. Place the mother Doll — the curly blonde with the pink and red striped cape — on the eye drawing. Place the man holding a baby Doll on the heart drawing. Finally, place the jester Doll on the sun drawing. The riddle ends with the trickster stepping into the sun, and that’s your final cue.
The page itself reads like a key in a locked chest: it lists the little girl and the tree, then the mother and her eye, then the father with a baby and the shot through the heart, and finishes with the trickster in the sun. Follow those literal anchors and you’ll avoid trial-and-error frustration.
How do I solve the third Doll Puzzle in Phasmophobia’s Alan Wake event?
Yes, you must interpret the imagery literally. Think of each stanza as a pointer to one drawing. Once you place all four Dolls in their correct spots the puzzle completes instantly and you can collect the reward from the main menu by selecting Accept.

You won’t find every Doll in a single map. The game spreads them across Coffee World/Camp Woodwind, Elderwood Palace Lodge/Bleasdale Farmhouse, and Oh Deer Diner/Nell’s Diner. Collecting the pieces feels like a compass in a storm: messy if you rush, precise if you follow a route.
- Child Doll — Coffee World/Camp Woodwind. In the center of the map, behind the pole wrapped in string lights; check down near the cardboard box behind it.
- Mother Doll — Elderwood Palace Lodge/Bleasdale Farmhouse. Upstairs in the doll room; she’s sitting on a table in the left corner.
- Man holding baby Doll — Oh Deer Diner/Nell’s Diner. In the breakroom on the table behind the door, by the water cooler.
- Jester Doll — Coffee World/Camp Woodwind. On a table under the white food tent area near the bathrooms.
Reminder: you must complete the first and second Doll puzzles before this third one appears, and it helps to have all 13 Dolls found across maps so you won’t be short on options during placement.
Where are the dolls for the third Doll Puzzle?
