Approach it and kick it,.

The second thing is a yellow arrow painted on the wood.

This paint is visible only in the light.

PC

Use your flashlight to discover more arrows painted around here.

Go in the direction pointed by these arrows to discover a supply crate.

There’s a flare gun inside, I strongly advise you to pick it up.

PC

Walk over the damaged fence, using the fallen pole.

You’ll reach a damaged excavator and one enemy.

Kill him at once, so he won’t be able to throw knives at you.

PC

There’s an emergency box next to the excavator, you’ll find some ammunition and batteries inside.

Walk through the damaged fence, right next to the excavator, and continue your journey.

Walk over trees and rocks to get to the other side of the river.

PC

Walk towards the bright light located in the distance.

What is more, you’ll notice a cabin located on a hill, on your left.

Kill two incoming enemies and climb up the rocks for reach another wood supply point.

PC

Go in the direction opposite to the one pointed by the painted arrows.

You’ll reach a damaged set of stairs.

Take batteries and ammunition from the emergency box nearby.

Xbox

You’ll encounter three opponents.

Try using the flare gun against them.

Once you deal with those guys, check out the building standing nearby.

Alan Wake

There’s a shotgun on the shelf.

Quite an interesting weapon, but you still need some shotgun ammunition.

Walk out of the building and use the generator standing nearby.

A cut-scene will show you a control panel that has been activated.

Use it to move the wood hanging in the air, on ropes.

Climb up the logs by using the ladder.

Walk over the wood hanging in the air to get to the next part of the level.

Walk into the enlightened shed.

Pick up the shotgun ammunition and turn on the radio.

Notice the next sign painted on the right side of the road, visible only in the light.

Search the area, and you’ll find an abandoned shed and a rusty car.

There’s a supply crate in that vicinity.

Pick up the flare gun located in that crate.

In the distance, you’ll see the gas station once again.

You’ll encounter a few enemies on your way, I advise you to test your shotgun on them.

New enemies will just keep coming, so look for the bright light.

Once you reach a light post, wait for your health to regenerate.

Take the batteries and ammunition from the emergency box and keep moving forward.

You’ll find a damaged bulldozer.

Notice a yellow sign pained on a stone nearby.

Turn left and you’ll find another supply crate with a flare gun inside.

If you turn right, you’ll find another damaged bulldozer.

Some enemies will appear behind your back.

Finish them by with a recently found flare.

Your path leads to a big sawmill.

Enter the building on the right.

In that sawmill, you’ll find a working machine on your left.

Use the switch for turn it off if you want.

Anyway, keep moving forward.

You’ll reach an ammo crate and a few batteries.

A large group of enemies will attack you here.

If you still have flares, I strongly advise you to use it.

If not, grab your shotgun and eliminate your opponents, keeping them in a distance..

They can’t throw weapons, so you’re able to easily defeat them.

Stucky is one of opponents in this fight.

He’s still armed with an axe, he can’t throw things and is incredibly fast.

There is, however, a chance he’ll get stuck on the sawmill gate.

In that case simply perforate him.

Once you kill them all, go to the gate located on the other side of the sawmill.

Use the control panel on the right so that open it, and then continue your journey.

The gas station is, fortunately, not that far.

Enter the gas station.

Take a look into the building by walking through the garage.

The TV set will turn on itself.

Watch the show and then use the telephone standing on the counter.
