Roadmap

Use this roadmap to plan missables, cleanup, and the most efficient route to the platinum in Alan Wake 2.

Roadmap

Stage 1 — Progress Until You Can Swap Stories

  • Play through the opening chapters for both Saga and Alan until you unlock the ability to switch between their stories (roughly first 5 chapters: 2 for Saga, 3 for Alan). Explore Cauldron Lake, Bright Falls and parts of The Dark Place while following the story and pick up collectibles as you go. A previously missable item was fixed in patch 1.15. Note: the All Smiles trophy can be missed if you spread upgrades across many weapons instead of fully upgrading one.

Stage 2 — Reach Saga’s Point of No Return

  • Complete the five Saga chapters and collect everything in Cauldron Lake, Bright Falls and Watery before starting Return 7: Summoning; those areas become inaccessible past Saga’s point of no return. It’s best to finish collectables before Return 6: Scratch because the map becomes darker and exploration harder.

Stage 3 — Finish Alan’s Story

  • After Saga’s point of no return you will be forced back into Alan’s Initiation chapters. Collect all Writer’s Journey videos and Words of Power before Initiation 8: Zane’s Film, as that marks Alan’s point of no return. (Patch 1.15 adds chapter select so you can return to earlier chapters to retrieve missed items.)

Stage 4 — Complete the Final Saga Chapters

  • Finish Saga’s remaining chapters, including the last collectible available in Return 8: Deerfest. After this stage all collectible-related trophies should unlock.

Stage 5 — Combat and Remaining Trophies

  • Finish any combat-related or misc trophies. If you finished the game before patch 1.15 and missed anything, load the manual save made at the end of Stage 2. With patch 1.15 you can use chapter select or replay chapters to get remaining trophies.
