------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- [ ALAN WAKE ]------------------------------ ---------------------------------[by Ice Queen Zero]--------------------------- --------------------------------------[Xbox 360]------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- o--------------------o INTRODUCTION o--------------------o When my solo FAQing career officially started, I made a vow that I would never walk in either my mother (Professor T) or my aunt (Counsler P)'s shadow so I could succeed on my own two feet. I have succeeded, yet there are some things that I take after them. I have the ability to make FAQs left and right like I am an FAQ factory just like they did when they were my age. Once again, I will FAQ another new game that caught my eye in a flash. Heck, it wasn't even on my list of new-gen games to FAQ. It was STIDERX's Youtube vids that inspired the making of this FAQ. o---------------------o DISCLAIMER o---------------------o Alan Wake and its characters are trademarks of Remedy Software and all of its copyrights belong to them.

The majority of the enemies in this game are vulnerable to any source of light. Use your gun to kill them too. - You may notice a lot of poltergeist activites as objects will sometimes come flying at you. You can also use light sources to protect you from them too. - Shine the flashlight on the TV sets you come across to watch the program. - It's a good idea to stand around other people so you can eavesdrop on some of their conversations, you might hear some humorous comments or some valuable information that may give you hints. - Streetlights are considered Safe Havens where you can wait until you are completely healed. - Flares have a wide range of attacks than kill multiple enemies. They act as a light based attack. - I made a separate manuscript section so you can read it apart from the FAQ section. - Some manuscript pages are available only in Nightmare Mode. o---------------------o GAMEPLAY o---------------------o __________________ / \ EPISODE I \ / ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Nightmare --- Your first task is to choose a mode then choose a difficulty level: Normal or Hard. If you beat the game once, then Nightmare mode is available. The game starts out with the camera panning around the forest during the day and it shows the title as Alan Wake gives a soliloquy. Alan accidentally hits a man with his car then the car lights go dark. The man's body disappears. The game tells you to look to the light with the right thumbstick from here, you're asked if you want to change the controls. After you decide, you are told to use the left thumbstick to walk. As you walk forward, you are prompted to hold down LB to sprint. The camera pans to the lighthouse. Your new task is to... -Get to the lighthouse.

Move around the bridges and outrun the tornado in the opposite direction and zig zag through the bridge to avoid the trucks. At the end, pick up the first of 100 collectible thermos on the far right. Go left and up the stairs and into the light. Alan walks within the lighthouse as something falls on top of Alan. At this moment, Alice wakes up Alan who had dosed off in the car. The camera pans to the scene of a lake resort. -Pose for Alice. Alice asks you to pose next to an old guy in a white jacket so she can take a picture of him and the town. Him and the guy, Mr. Maine have a chat. Walk back to Alice and talk a little. Barry calls and checks up on Alan then he sends him a text message. Now just enjoy the rest of the ride. -Get back to the car. Just head over there and press B to leave the ferry. You will board the car in the process. Alice drops Alan at the diner as she goes fill up the car.

One of them asks you to put on the "Coconut" tune as his buddy objects to hearing the song. Press B to use the jukebox. Then press A to play the song. Go to back and an old lady is outside talking about the darkness. Press B to knock on the door, a woman appears and give the key to Alan instead. -Leave the diner Exit from the diner, the old lady tells you how lucky you are not to fall in the dark.

In this case you see a view of the old lake lodge. Go back to Alice. Enter the cabin and go upstairs and she directs you to the study. -Go to the study The study is the room across the hall. There is a typewriter on the desk. A cutscene plays. Alan gets mad that Alice tried to dupe him into writing a story and the lights go out momentarily. Alan storms out of the cabin to collect his thoughts. All of a sudden, Alan hears Alice scream. -Get to Alice. Return to the cabin. Some bats will attack.

I remember this from StiderX's video before it got taken down. Credits to him for this section too. Alan wakes up from what seems to be a nightmare with his wife in bed with him. Something is not right though. He is certain that he was not dreaming and that Alice is not real. He demands that the lights be turned on. You can see a dark aura surrounding Alice as you walk through the house as she talks. Alan asks where the clicker. - Find the Clicker Walk to the den and shine the light on Alice and then the clicker will appear on the table. Pick it up and Alan will push the button on the clicker and the screen goes white. The light creature will appear and advise you to go to the cabin. A doppelganger of Alan named Mr. Scratch appears then the light creature says Alan's friends will meet Mr. Scratch when he's gone. The light creature tells Alan to use the clicker and now Alan is on the outside with a bunch of words that are floating around and he is in your control. Shine the flashlight on these words to turn them into what they say: "crate" into a crate, "phone" into a phone, etc. especially for the bridge for you to get across. Don't shine the light on the "bird". Enter the cabin and you will meet a scary old woman. Alan hugs her and she vanishes into a flash of light. Alan goes over to the typewriter and uses it. The ending begins here. Alan is over by the lake and he hears Alice scream. He dives into the lake to get her and there is a scene of Alice swimming to shore and getting on a bridge. She does not know that Alan jumped into the lake and is calling out to him. It appear that Alan has drowned. The scene pans out and shows the whole town celebrating. It seems like Alan decided to correct me by saying, it's not a lake, it's an ocean. The screen goes black and Alice's voice says "Alan, wake up." o---------------------o CREDITS o---------------------o Remedy Software for making this game.
