1.1 Lighthouse
- Thermoses – 3
- Pyramids – 1
Head towards the trunk of the car and inspect the scattered books. Move forward towards the light source, with your destination being the lighthouse. At the destroyed bridge, you’ll discover the first thermos (1) with coffee.
Proceed through the wooden bridge on the right, descend, and encounter an enemy (use evasion).
We are running away from the darkness, Clay Stewart will meet us ahead. As soon as we enter the house, a cutscene will start, during which the darkness will kill our new acquaintance. The TVs will turn on. We wait for the door to open, run out into the street and restore health under the lantern.
The light will show us how to kill opponents, give us a flashlight and a revolver. We go through a mini-training and move on. On the right on the fence we will see a pyramid of cans (1).
Continue eliminating opponents, using a lantern and revolver. Near the nearest lamppost, you’ll find a flare gun with charges and ammo for a revolver. There’s a bunker on the right.
Inside the bunker, you’ll discover a thermos (2).
Proceed downwards, and three enemies will emerge, which you can eliminate with a signal flare. Run to the lighthouse, where, in front of it, on the bench to the right, you’ll find another thermos (3).
Enter the lighthouse and wake up from a nightmare.
1.2 Bright Falls
- Thermoses – 3
- Radio – 1
Alan wakes up in the car while driving on the road to Bright Falls. On the ferry they talk to Pat Main, the host of a local radio show.
We soon arrived at the shore and got into the car. Alice dropped Alan off at the diner to pick up the house keys from Carl Stuckey while she went to get gas. At the diner, Alan was met by a waitress who turned out to be a fan of his work.
Turn on the jukebox in the diner as requested by the man at the left table. Later, in episode 5, you’ll need to turn on the jukebox again to secure the achievement. Note that it might take a couple of tries to get the jukebox working.
On the right, at the service window, there’s a thermos (4).
After this, Alan visits the restroom and encounters a mysterious woman who informs him that Carl is unable to come and hands over the house keys. On leaving the diner, Alan gets into his car and drives to the island.
When you reach the island, instead of continuing forward, turn around and head back towards the car. There’s a thermos (5) on the left.
We go into the house and find a thermos (6) in the kitchen.
On the terrace (exit from the kitchen) turn on the radio (1).
Returning to Alice, we started the generator in the barn, earning the “Let there be light” achievement.
Returning to Alice, start the generator in the barn to get the “Let There Be Light” achievement. Returning to the house, go up to the second floor, where Alice will give Alan a gift – a typewriter. Shortly after this, a power outage occurs. Return to Alice, using the flashlight to ward off the crows. Upon re-entering the house, a broken door to the terrace is discovered. Alice’s fall into the water prompts a rescue attempt, but you end up in a wrecked car on a cliff.
1.2 The Road to the Gas Station
- Thermoses – 6
- Manuscript Pages – 9
- Manuscript Nightmare – 2
- Pyramids – 1
- Supply Box – 2
- Radio – 1
- TV – 1
As we traverse the path, a gas station comes into view – let’s head there. To reach it, we’ll need to navigate through the forest, and as per the plot, we instantly acquire two manuscript pages (1, 2).
For players on the “Nightmare” difficulty, descending to the lumber warehouse, on the left in front of the lattice fence on a fallen tree, lies the Nightmare manuscript (1).
We proceed through a nearby fallen log and a broken fence. There, we encounter Karl, the one who was supposed to give us the keys to the rented house, but now he’s possessed by a dark entity. He grabs an ax and dashes away. Running past the yellow forklift and behind the pickup, we spot a thermos (7).
Continuing, a manuscript lies on the road (3).
As we press forward and find refuge in the house, we discover batteries with ammo inside.
There’s an achievement called “Charged” in the game. To fulfill its main condition of using 100 batteries, don’t hesitate to utilize batteries to the fullest.
Attempting to use the phone, Karl disrupts the connection, and in a few seconds, a tractor begins to ram the building. Karl rushes out into the street; hurry to the gate, turn on the spotlight, and take down two lumberjacks. Nearby barrels hold ammo, and observe the yellow arrow, visible only in the light.
Moving left along the timber truck, we find a box with supplies at the path’s end (1).
We double back, turn off the electricity, and pass through the broken gate. After defeating the enemy, we proceed past the excavator to the left, where a manuscript hangs on the wall under the canopy (4).
Next, head to the river and walk along the first log. Then, turn left. At the end of this path, you will find a thermos (8) placed on a stone.
Retracing our steps, we now keep right until reaching a crossing of three logs.
On the box, there’s another manuscript (5).
For those playing on the highest difficulty, while crossing the river, a nightmare manuscript page (2) can be found along the way.
Continuing along the logs across the river, we gather ammo and batteries before the last crossing. Subsequently, we take down two lumberjacks, climb up the rocks to load the timber, and notice a yellow sign on the left. Going in that direction, we find a ladder on the logs. Climbing up, we reach a hut.
Inside, there’s a box with supplies (2).
Returning back, we discover a broken staircase on the other side, forcing us to find an alternative route. The box on the pole contains ammo and batteries. Going past the stairs, on the right, behind the logs, a thermos (9) awaits.
In the distance to the left, a flashing generator catches our eye. Running towards it past the yellow tractor, we face several lumberjacks. Inside the building, we discover a manuscript (6), and on the right shelf, a shotgun.
The game has the achievement “Not Just a Brand of Typewriter.” To achieve it, kill 50 Possessed with a shotgun or pump-action shotgun. If ammo runs low, reload through checkpoints to reach the required number of kills.
We return to the destroyed stairs, stand next to the control panel, and move the logs to create a bridge. Climbing up the logs next to the nearby stairs, we run across the resulting bridge, leading us to a clearing. On the right, on a small terrace, we spot a pyramid of cans (2).
In the barn on the left, we find ammo, turn on the radio (2) inside, and behind the barn, a broken truck and a canopy reveal a box of supplies (3).
Continuing along the path, a manuscript (7) lies on the road.
Further to the right on the cliff, we discover a thermos (10).
Next, we descend to the generator, start it, collect the ammo, and combat the lumberjacks. From the generator, we head to the right; on the cliff among the scattered barrels, there’s another thermos (11).
Now we navigate through the forest along the path, facing constant enemy attacks. Here, you can achieve the “Two for the Price of One” by killing two Possessed with one shotgun blast. Moving along the road, we come across another manuscript (8).
As we ascend the hill, a box of batteries hangs on a lamppost. Reaching the tractor, we turn left, following the arrows.
A supply box (4) awaits in the rock.
We return and descend to the gate, taking down the possessed and retrieving the manuscript (9).
In the security building, we find batteries, ammo, a shotgun, and a TV (1).
Next, we open the gate through the control panel (hanging on the wall near the window). Stepping out to the sawmill, we pick up ammo along the way and engage in a fight with a crowd of possessed. Eventually, Carl Stuckey emerges as the first boss in the game. On the crane tracks, there’s a thermos (12).
1.3 Refueling

After leaving the sawmill, we follow the path leading to a gas station. In the parking lot near the truck, we spot a manuscript (10).
Don’t rush into the building; instead, explore the surroundings first. Move behind the truck on the left side of the parking lot. Under the sign, a thermos (13) awaits.
Head onto the road and run towards the truck blocking the tunnel; a thermos (14) is located nearby.
For those playing on the highest difficulty, behind the gas station building on the wall, there’s a nightmare manuscript (3).
Subsequently, we enter the gas station through the open garage. Inside, a TV (2) turns on; watch the video to completion and enter the store. Examine the poster (1) on the rack.
Now Alan can use the phone. He calls the police, and Sarah Breaker arrives. Alan recounts the events that unfolded on the island in Lake Cauldron. Together with Sarah, they return to Alan’s house, where his wife vanished, and observe the collapsed wooden bridge. The island, where Alan and his wife had been, actually sank in the 1970s due to volcanic activity.
This concludes the walkthrough of the first episode of Alan Wake, where you achieve the “Cream of Bright Falls” for calling for help.

The next episode begins in our apartment. Head to the kitchen and turn on the coffee maker. Then, go to Alice’s office and grab the thermos (15).
Alice instructs us to check out the new cover in her office. On the table to the left, there’s a manuscript (12).
After a few seconds, the lights will turn off, prompting an investigation into the cause. Subsequently, a cutscene unfolds where Alan gives Alice an old amulet to protect against the darkness.

We wake up at the police station and undergo examination by a doctor who just returned from fishing. Examine the fish on the table, then go into the corridor and on the left wall, inspect the “Wanted” posters (2).
Enter the sheriff’s office and pick up your phone. Sarah starts questioning us, but the interrogation is interrupted by a call. A man contacts us, instructing us to act according to his rules if we want to see our wife. In the hall, there’s a thermos (16) on the table, and next to the refrigerator, there’s a manuscript (13).
Move to the prison cells, where you’ll find only one drunk man. He asks you to turn on the light; you can walk past or use the switch. In the next cell, there’s a manuscript (14) on the bed.
Outside, near the neighboring building, you’ll find a radio (3) and another thermos (17) with coffee.
Proceed to the lattice fence, break the boards, and go through the hole. On the right side of the stone is a manuscript (15).
In the cabin of the rusty truck, you’ll find Alice’s driver’s license. Barry calls, saying he’ll arrive soon. Return to the police station, where the TV (3) turns on in the corridor.
In the hall, meet the sheriff and Dr. Hartman, whom Alice consulted. Alan hits the doctor, and at that moment, Barry appears. Together with our assistant, we leave the police station.

With Barry, head to the rented house. He waits inside, convinced that going to meet Alice’s kidnapper without the police is a bad idea. Go downstairs and take a thermos (19) from the kitchen.

In the next room, the closet contains batteries with ammo. Behind the door, discover an electrical panel with an ax protruding. Return to Rusty’s. At the entrance to the destroyed center, the possessed will confront us. Where Rusty was, a huge gap now exists to the right.

After Rusty’s demise, other possessed individuals nearby break down the fence, freeing the path. Call Larry, asking him to stay in the house. Read the manuscript (21) on the table.
The objective is to reach Lovers Peak and encounter Alice’s kidnapper. Follow the path, picking up ammo with batteries from the locker. Descend the stairs, cross the bridge, and find yourself on a path made of wooden planks. Reach the sign, but continue forward without turning. Enter a cave, where at the end, a tablet awaits (4).
On the rock to the right, find a supply box (5) and a shotgun.

Return to the closed gate, jump over the fence on the left, and discover a manuscript (24) on the stone.
We reach the cable car and summon a cabin. Anticipating an exciting descent, we’re unexpectedly attacked by a flock of crows, causing the cabin to slide sharply down. This results in the loss of our weapon. Surrounded by possessed individuals, a mysterious man comes to our rescue. We collect flares and batteries from a locker and follow our savior. Now, our task is to assist him in combating those possessed by darkness, using light to burn away the threat.
On the way, Alan remembers that this is the same man who rode with him on the ferry to Bright Falls, realizing he is the kidnapper. There’s no choice yet, so run after him. Upon reaching the clearing, protect the stranger with flares while he tears boards off the gate. Afterward, follow him to the observation deck. Behind the poster on the right, discover a thermos (25).
Achieve the “A Cup of Excellent Coffee” for collecting 25 thermoses of coffee.
Next, we must withstand the attack of several waves of possessed people. Our only tools are flares and a flashlight. Alan will demand a gun, but the mysterious man insists we follow the script.
Gain the challenging achievement “Back! Go back, they tell you!” by using a flare in a crowd of possessed people with minimal health.
Complete the achievement “Beat four people in one fell swoop” by killing 4 enemies at once with a flare.

Alan spent a whole week at the typewriter, with evil spirits as his editor-in-chief, whispering a story in which darkness enveloped the entire world. What he writes on the lake comes true in real life. Despite the close supervision of the woman in black, the writer managed to fit his escape into the plot. Wake called upon Zane, a former writer consumed by darkness. He came in a diving suit, bathed the house in light, and bought time to escape. Leaving the island, Alan gets into an accident, the beginning of the game. This completes the passage of the fourth episode of Alan Wake.
