The front door sticks. I step inside, breath visible in the stale air, and the house is a wound that will not stop bleeding memories. Somewhere between the dining table and the attic, small faces wait — indifferent and accusing.
I’ve spent nights tracing every creak in Cauldron Lake so you don’t have to. You’ll get directions that are direct, the kind you can follow while a ghost glares from the corner, and I’ll point out the exact props and turns that matter. If you want the Alan Wake event rewards on Steam, you need these Dolls — and you need them fast.
A crooked dining chair and a Hallmark stain on the carpet tell you this house was lived in — then left to rot. Cauldron Lake is the redecorated Grafton Farmhouse for the Alan Wake event, and it hides three Dolls across its floors.
The house holds three Dolls total — one per floor — and they feed into the Doll Puzzles for the Alan Wake event on Phasmophobia. I’ll map each one for you with directions short enough to follow during a run and precise enough to avoid a time-wasting search.
- The cat doll: sitting on a table against the left wall in the dining room on the first floor.
- The mother doll: on a small table in the creepy doll room on the second floor.
- The moose doll: on a table in the attic, the third floor of the house.
How many Dolls are on Cauldron Lake?
Three. Collect them to progress the Doll Puzzles — then raid other maps like Elderwood Palace Lodge, Coffee World, and Oh Deer Diner for the rest.
A long, scuffed table under a faded portrait hints people once ate here. The cat Doll is easy if you move quickly from the entryway.
From the front door, go straight through the entry and into the dining area. Once inside, turn left and you’ll see a long table pressed against the wall.
Among vases and stacked plates the cat Doll sits between two objects on that table. Pick it up and don’t dawdle — some ghosts react faster than others.
Where is the Cat Doll?
Dining room, left wall table — easy to miss if you’re watching the doorway instead of the table surface.
A nightlight with a melted bulb tells you someone left in a hurry. The second floor’s doll room is heavy with the smell of old fabric and staged grief.
Enter the house and take an immediate right to go upstairs. At the top, take a sharp right, then another right, walk to the end of the short hall, and turn left into the doll room.
Head straight to the left corner; the mother Doll sits on a small table beside a larger doll. That corner is a micro-stage — take the prop and move on.
A stair creak will tell you someone climbed up hours ago. The attic hides the moose Doll on a small table near two candelabras.
From the entryway, take the stairs on your right, then go right again into a short hallway. Walk past the door on the right and climb the final stairs to the attic.
At the top, turn left. On a small table with two candelabras — one knocked over — the moose Doll sits waiting. Grab it and get downstairs; the attic is often the last place a quick run goes wrong.
The dolls are breadcrumbs that trace the map designers’ intentions — follow them and the puzzles fall into place. If you’re collecting for the Alan Wake crossover on Phasmophobia, remember this: Kinetic Games built the event, Remedy’s IP sets the mood, and you’ll probably be hunting on Steam with friends or solo runs recorded for clips.
After Cauldron Lake, you’ll want to sweep Elderwood Palace Lodge, Coffee World, and Oh Deer Diner for the remaining pieces. Want to argue which Doll room is the creepiest, or whether the attic could have been cut from the map entirely?
