How do you find Charms?

You'll start Alan Wake 2 with a charm already in Saga's inventory. From the very beginning, Saga will have Logan's Charm, which provides a small health increase while worn.

However, you're also able to find a huge range of charms throughout Washington in Alan Wake 2. To do so, you'll have to solve the various nursery rhyme puzzles that are scattered throughout the Washington locations: in Cauldron Lake, Bright Falls, and Watery.

How do you equip Charms?

To equip your Charms, you'll need to head to your inventory. You'll always have to go to your inventory to equip any items, be it weapons, healing items, or batteries for your torch.

In order to add Charms to your bracelet, you need to move the specific Charms you want to be equipped to the three slots on the left of the inventory screen. Once this is done, you'll immediately gain the respective buffs from each of the charms.
