How to Get the Mayor Setter Charm in Alan Wake 2

Below are the locations for all the placards that you need to find:

After you have collected all six of the Mayor Setter placards in Bright Falls and Watery, go back to the start of Watery, where you parked the car, and enter Suomi Hall.

Inside the main hall, go towards the stage. You will find the true identity of the mayor, who is a dog running a campaign to become the mayor of the town. Interacting with the dog will get you the Mayor Setter Charm. It will also unlock the The Nice Things in Life trophy.

When you equip the Mayor Setter Charm, it will reveal all the nearby collectibles on the map, such as Lunchboxes, Nursery Rhymes, and Cult Stashes. You can now easily collect the missing collectible items by following their marker on the map.
