Our walkthrough includes how to accomplish every goal, where to learn about the location of the Clicker and how to get through Coffee World, gaining the Lighthouse Trailer Park Key, and completing the Ritual to enter the Overlap, as well as locating collectibles along the way including Manuscript Pages, Alex Casey Lunch Boxes, Cult Stashes, and how to solve Nursery Rhyme Puzzles. Now that you’ve located the missing writer Alan Wake, and he’s finished having his little flashback, it’s time to progress Saga’s investigation. There are still many unanswered questions, even after Alan Wake gives what little testimony he can about the Dark Presence and his apparently evil double, Scratch. Once you regain control, you can save in the small closet with the puddle on the floor. In addition to your new main case, another background case you’ve been stockpiling evidence for, The Story, is available. All the Manuscript Pages you’ve been finding are a story that Alan Wake wrote called Return, but it’s been altered by Scratch and is coming true with dangerous effects. A lot of info you’ve learned recently — including what Wake was doing in the Dark Place, can be used as clues to start filling in this Case Board, including Alan’s testimony to unlock a ton of threads. Thankfully, this is all you can’t miss so far, so place what evidence you can here. Finally, you’ve got a new piece of evidence for the Cult of the Tree Case File by way of Alan’s testimony to be placed for the Cult Goal. To progress in your new goal, you’ll need to delve deeper into Alan Wake’s mind; luckily, there’s some Profiling you can do on Alan. She learns that Alan is hiding pages of his manuscript through her deductions on the different topics presented. Press him in person, and he’ll hand over the Manuscript Page (unedited by Scratch) that proves where the Clicker is. With this knowledge, in a trailer near Watery Town, you can place the manuscript clue in the Main Case File and Alan’s testimony to deduce where the Clicker is. Now that you have a heading, you talk to Alan one last time to get a clue for the Cult of the Tree Case File under the Writing Part of Ritual. You can switch between Alan and Saga’s stories anytime by returning to the Janitor Closet in their headquarters room at the Lodge or most large Break Rooms. For now, we’ll stick with Saga’s journey.
