Collectibles · Saga Anderson
Nursery Rhymes are Saga's chalk-drawing puzzles: place the right Nursery Rhyme Dolls on the right chalk symbols and the scene changes, leading you to a Charm for her bracelet. There are 17 in all, spread across three areas — the first 16 each give a Charm, and the last one unlocks a fourth Charm slot. They appear only in Saga's story; neither expansion adds any.
Not sure which step is unfinished? Read the spoiler-safe Nursery Rhyme progress companion.
Each rhyme is a short poem next to a set of chalk symbols. Place dolls on the symbols the poem describes; get every placement right and the scene changes. Follow that change to the Charm, and pick your dolls back up before you leave — you reuse them. Below are the pieces you'll be juggling.
If a rhyme won't cooperate or a spot is out of reach, one of these four things is almost always the reason. Everything stays available until Saga's open areas close at the end of Return 6.
OpensCauldron Lake's first three in Return 2, Watery's seven in Return 3, and the four in Bright Falls during Return 5. You arrive in each area without its map, so grab it first.
Still blockedBright Falls' western shore stays flooded for the first part of Return 5. The Woods Campsite (14) is reachable right away; the Ranger Station, its beach and Billie's Boat Yard (15–17) open once the water goes down.
OpensPicked up in Return 3 at The Percolator in Coffee World.
Needed forthe Downtown Watery mobile home (12), the Bright Falls Ranger Station (15), and the Watery Ranger Cabin door — the dolls for rhyme 11 are inside.
OpensPicked up during Return 5 at Valhalla Nursing Home.
Needed forCabin 4 at the Rental Cabins (4) and Trailer 5 at the Lighthouse Trailer Park (13).
OpensSolve all 16 others. A briefcase holding the Father Doll appears beside the charm from whichever one you finish last.
RewardTake the doll to Witchfinder's Station (5). Placing the dolls isn't the last step — the slot comes from a charm box at the end of a short sequence, listed in that rhyme's solution. It gives no charm.
