1.
Collect everything you find on your way.
Every single item you may find is useful in some way.
There are no useless objects that only occupy space in your pockets.
Batteries, ammunition and weapons almost always prove useful;
2.
The light of your flashlight is incredibly useful.
Battery in your flashlight discharges when you focus the light by holding[LT]button.
It is extremely useful in combat against tough enemies.
Light is a real blessing in Alan Wake’s world.
If it is possible, try turning on every light post, light bulbs, etc.
During the fight, do everything to keep your enemies in a distance.
Most of them cannot attack Alan from more that one meter.
That means you always have a chance to shoot them before they approach and attack you.
The only exception refers to Taken, who can throw knives and other sharp tools at the protagonist.
Better kill those guys at the very beginning of the fight;
6.
Dodge every single knife and other sharp thing thrown towards you.
When you run away from your enemies, keep running with a zigzag.
Thanks to that, you won’t get a blade stuck in your back;
7.
When Alan sprints away from his enemies, he gets tired and runs slower.
Enemies do not get tires, so they can always catch the writer in a longer run.
