Alan Wake 2: Every Trophy/Achievement (& How to Unlock Them)

If players happen to get grabbed by an enemy, they can escape by using a Hand Flare if they have one in their inventory. There will be a button prompt on the screen to use the Hand Flare.

While dodging attacks is fairly easy, the tricky part of this achievement/trophy is that it has to be done at the last possible second. If done correctly, time will (briefly) slow down and the achievement/trophy will unlock.

Unlocks upon picking up the first page of the manuscript. Since this is part of the story, it cannot be missed.

When enemies are approaching, activate a Hand Flare. Not only will they move away from players, but this will also unlock the achievement/trophy.

Unlocked by simply opening one Cult Stash and one Lunch Box. Both of these items can be found all over the place, especially if players take time to explore every corner of the map. These only appear in Saga's chapters.

This is unlocked during Return 3: Local Girl. Since finding the screwdriver is a mandatory objective, this cannot be missed.

Unlocked as part of the story during Return 5: Old Gods. Since the Boltcutters are needed to advance the story, this cannot be missed either.

When the darkness shield is burned away on a Taken, there will be a glowing red point somewhere on their body. Shooting this not only causes massive damage to the enemy but also unlocks this achievement/trophy.

All players have to do to unlock this is focus the flashlight on an enemy to remove their shield.

Throughout Saga's chapters, players will encounter dolls that can be picked up and placed on diagrams. There will be a paper nearby that gives a hint for what dolls go where. If done correctly, a Charm will spawn nearby. Players need to solve five of these puzzles to unlock this achievement/trophy.

In order to unlock this, players will need to watch every single TV commercial in Saga's chapters.

Just like the achievement/trophy above, this one can be unlocked by watching every TV scene that occurs during Alan's chapters.

This can be unlocked by obtaining the Sawed-Off Shotgun in Return 2: The Heart.

Unlocked by acquiring the Hunting Rifle in Return 5: Old Gods.

Unlocked in Return 3: Local Girl by obtaining the Crossbow from a Cult Stash.

This achievement/trophy can be unlocked by acquiring the Pump-Action Shotgun in Return 6: Scratch.

Unlocked as part of the story between Initiation 1: Late Night and Initiation 2: Casey.

This achievement/trophy is unmissable, as it is part of the musical chapter in Alan's story.

Can be unlocked by finding and acquiring the Double-Barrelled Shotgun in the Oceanview Hotel bar. Once in the bar, use the Angel Lamp.

Kill five enemies with headshots. Progress is saved, so players do not need to kill five enemies at once.

This cannot be missed, as unlocking a save point room is part of the story.

Use any healing item. It doesn't matter what kind.

Defeat Nightingale, the boss of Return 2: The Heart.

Defeat both Mulligan and Thornton during Return 3: Local Girl.

Defeat Cynthia in Return 5: Old Gods.

Defeat Scratch in Return 6: Scratch.

Successfully escape from the Dark Presence during Initiation 2: Casey. This is mandatory, so it cannot be missed.

This is unlocked by focusing the flashlight on a Taken Thrower just before they are about to teleport. This variant of Taken teleports around a lot, so players will either have to get familiar with their attack and teleport patterns or unlock this through luck.

Unlocked by upgrading one of Saga's weapons once. This is done by finding scattered manuscript fragments and spending them on upgrades in the Mind Place.

Upgrade one of Saga's weapons completely, which means getting all the upgrades that are available for one weapon. The easiest way to unlock this is to focus on one weapon to upgrade, especially since there won't be enough scattered manuscript fragments to upgrade every weapon.

Find and unlock one Word of Power while in the Dark Place. While these are easily missable, players only need to find one to unlock the achievement/trophy.

Pick up any map that is found throughout the game. The location of one is called out to players during Return 1: Invitation.

This can be unlocked by upgrading inventory size once.

This can be unlocked by finding every single doll that is part of the Nursey Rhyme puzzles.

This achievement/trophy can easily be unlocked by tossing a Flashbang grenade at the feet of an enemy.

Take a Propane Canister and throw it at the feet of a Taken and then shoot the canister to cause an explosion.
