To speed things along, we've went over the exact rock rock tree code and rock rock tree puzzle solution in Alan Wake 2 below.

The 'rock rock tree' clue that the Cult Stash clue mentions refers to the maths equations found on two rocks and a tree in the nearby area. You have to work out these basic equations to get the correct numbers for the stash's lock, then put the numbers in the correct order.

The first 'rock' equation is just above the actual stash.

The 'tree' equation is on a tree just down and to the left of the stash.

The second 'rock' equation is harder to spot, as it's on the side of a large rock in the middle of the stream.

Putting these numbers in the correct order gives the 658 code, which you can then use on the stash lock to get your rewards.
