Items to Look For
Edit Page Last Edit: 3 years 5 months ago
There are other things in Alan Wake you should keep an eye out for. Things that can help and things that can harm.
- Bear Traps: Bear traps are clamps usually laid out in groups around the game. They can be hard to see unless your flashlight hits them on the floor and you see a glimmer of metal. If you get caught in one rapidly press A to open the trap and release your leg.
- Light-Sensitive Text: There are some drawings and text written on walls and rocks that can only be shown if you put your light on the text. They will point you to helpful things like supplies or directions through the game.
- Manuscript Pages: Keep a look out for Manuscript pages laid throughout the game. They are pages to a novel entitled "Departure." They will sometimes tip you off to events that happen in the future. You can re read them by pressing the BACK button. Find all of them for achievements.
- Coffee Thermos: Keep a look out for Coffee Thermoses. There are 100 of these throughout the game to collect for achievements.
- Hidden Chests: Hidden Chests can be found all over the game. There are 30 total which can give you an achievement if you collect all 30. You can usually find them by following the yellow Light-Sensitive Text and arrows to the chests. They'll take you to the hidden chest with a logo written next to them in the same ink. Inside the chests will be supplies to help you get through the game.
- Can Pyramids: There are twelve of these all around the game but you only need 5 for an achievement. Just shoot them once and you'll never see them again on your profile.
- TVs: In the game you'll find 14 TVs all over. If you find them all you'll get an achievement. Some play automatically and some you have to start up on your own. When you watch them it shows more back story or just a funny/weird TV show called Night Springs that you can see reference to throughout the game.
- Radios: In the game you'll find 11 little radios here and there. If you find them all you'll get an achievement. When they play you'll hear the radio voice Pat maine talk about something or another, usually involving you.
- Generators: Keep a look out for these things! The smaller ones usually give you safe havens and the bigger ones usually power something to progress in the game. When starting the generators you'll play a little mini game. Press a when the arrow is in the green zone and it'll spin around a circle. Press it two or three more times to start the generator.
- Propane Tanks: These things are about as good as flashbangs! Very useful especially in Nightmare Mode or if you have little ammo. Just shoot them once and they'll explode in about a second or two.
- Emergency Box: Look out for these all over! They are usually on walls or under street light safe havens. They contain various supplies like ammo or batteries.
- Safe Havens: Safe Havens are everywhere in Alan Wake. If you're low on health it will fully restore your health quicker than just waiting around. If you're out of ammo it's best to run to a safe haven as fast as you can.
