Where to Find Witch’s Hut Fuse in Alan Wake 2

You will need to find the missing Witch’s Hut Fuse in Alan Wake 2 to unlock the first central save room in the game. However, the key item can be tricky to locate if you don’t know where to look in Cauldron Lake’s creepy forest.

Witch’s Hut Fuse location in Alan Wake 2 Cauldron Lake

During the opening chapters of Alan Wake 2, Saga Anderson must travel to the Witch’s Hut to find instructions on how to open up the overlap to track down Robert Nightingale. The only problem is the dilapidated shack needs a fuse for you to turn the lights on. If you are like me, you may struggle to find the missing item at first due to Cauldron Lake being hard to navigate at night. I mean, seriously, I can’t tell you how many times I stumbled into the same tree before realizing I had walked off the wrong path!

The Witch’s Hut fuse is located east of the shack at Cauldron Lake in Alan Wake 2. Simply open up your map using the touchpad on your Dual Sense controller and take the path directly next to the Fuse Box X icon. After walking down the trail, you will find a makeshift campsite.

You can find the fuse item’s exact location on the map below:

Once you’ve entered the campsite, ignore the box at the entrance as it contains a dead fuse. Instead, walk to the back of the area, where you will find a set of boxes in the left corner. The missing Witch’s Hut fuse can be found in a small blue container on top of a rusted oil barrel.

Once you have collected the fuse, head back to the Witch’s Hut and interact with the fuse box. You must now select the item in your inventory to place it in the missing slot. The lights in the shack will now automatically turn on, and you can now enter it.

Finding the fuse will not only give you vital information on how to find Robert Nightingale, but it will also give you access to one of the first Save Rooms in Alan Wake 2. With the lights on, you can now enter the shack and manually save your game by interacting with the coffee thermos on the table.

Alan Wake 2 is now available on PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
