Alan Wake 2: Return 5: Old Gods Walkthrough

When you switch control to Saga, go across the bridge. While dealing with Tor's phone call, continue forward and enter the Break Room along the way to obtain a Manuscript Page.

After leaving the Break Room, head to Valhalla Nursing Home located on the west side of the map. Wolves may appear along the way, so it's recommended to proceed cautiously.

After arriving at the Valhalla Nursing Home, head to the front door and press the intercom. When you press the intercom, Rose will appear from inside and a conversation will occur. Before entering, make sure to obtain the Manuscript Page on the ground near the entrance.

After being guided into the building by Rose, follow her and listen to the conversation about Tor from Norman, who is wrapped in a towel, and Mandy-May, who is knitting.

• Obtain the Map of the Nursing Home

  Map	Where to Obtain

  After the conversation with Norman and the others, you can obtain the map of Valhalla Nursing Home by entering the room right next to the entrance. It is also recommended to explore the office, lounge, and corridors when obtaining the map.

Head to the dining hall and talk to Rose who is sitting there after listening to the conversation. After the conversation with Rose, touching the sensor on the door behind her will add the option "What's the Wellness Center?"

After finishing the conversation about Rose and the Wellness Center, you will be able to talk to Ahti who is on the stage. Head to the stage and talk to Ahti, the man with cleaning tools.

After talking to Ahti, proceed to the second floor and examine Tor's room. Tor's room is messy, but you can obtain a Trauma Pad from the shelf. After thoroughly examining Tor's room, go to the adjacent room. This is Odin's room. Now, talk to Odin.

When you talk to Odin, his profile will be added. First, profile him about the "Hangover" and then "Our Connection." Then, ask him about the other options.

• Obtain a Clue from the Painting before Leaving the Room

  

  Before leaving Odin's room, examine the large painting hanging on the wall. By examining the painting, you can obtain a clue.

While collecting items from each room on the second floor, head towards the Trophy Room. When you approach the woman in the Trophy Room, she will be absorbed into the Overlap and disappear. After the woman disappears, it is recommended to proceed to the third floor and collect items.

After finishing exploring up to the 3rd floor, let's organize the situation on the investigation board. By placing the key image "Valhalla Nursing Home" on the board, we can proceed with reasoning based on the profiling and clues obtained in the Valhalla Nursing Home.

• Two Other Cases can also be Progressed.

  In the Valhalla Nursing Home, clues for the cases "The Cult of the Tree" and "Fact vs. Fiction" can also be obtained. Alongside the "Anderson Brothers" case, let's organize the clues on the board.

After organizing the Anderson Brothers' case, you can have another conversation with Rose. Talk to Rose and ask her to open the door to the Wellness Center on the 1st floor. Head to the Wellness Center. Upon entering the door, you can obtain the key image "Wellness Center".

When entering the Wellness Center from the Valhalla Nursing Home, you can obtain the map of the Wellness Center at the entrance. Before proceeding through the dark Wellness Center, make sure to obtain the map.

Clues	Manuscript

In the patient room of the Wellness Center, you can obtain 2 clues from the bed in the back and a Manuscript Page from the desk. Since the room is dark, try searching while using a flashlight.

When you open the door to the rehabilitation, you can see Tor leaving from the exit. As you chase after him and get closer to the exit, you find that the electronic lock is activated remotely. Note that this entire sequence can be obtained as a clue.

Clue 1	Clue 2	Clue 3

To obtain the password for the electronic lock, head to the control room and obtain clues from three locations. After obtaining the clues, it is recommended to go to the mental world and organize them on the investigation board.

Based on the clues obtained in the control room and the Wellness Center, let's organize the situation on the investigation board. Placing the key image "Wellness Center" on the board will progress the reasoning based on the clues obtained in the Wellness Center.

Based on the organized investigation board of clues, let's try to guess the password and input it into the computer in the control room. The password consists of the numbers on the calendar. The password is in the order of "month → day → year".

When you approach the unlocked exit and return to the rehabilitation, an enemy will appear. Use the flare obtained in the Valhalla Nursing Home and press the R2 button to defeat the enemy. After defeating the enemy, use the light to dispel the darkness at three nodes and proceed to the dining room.

• Obtain a Manuscript Page in the Examination Room.

  Since the electronic lock on the door has been unlocked, you can also enter Examination Room 2. After defeating the enemy, enter the examination room and obtain the Manuscript Page and other items.

Before proceeding to the dining room, head to the Staff Lounge near the entrance of the Wellness Center. When you enter the small room at the back of the Staff Lounge, you can obtain the doorknob.

Use the doorknob to enter the Workshop that you couldn't enter before. In the Workshop, you can obtain a Manuscript Page and Hunting Rifle. If your inventory is full, it is recommended to organize your items.

After thoroughly exploring the Wellness Center, go through the dining room and kitchen to exit the Wellness Center. When you go outside, an event will occur where Tor is taken to the Overlap.

After the event at the pond, talk to Rose sitting on a bench. When you talk to Rose, her profiling will be added. Perform profiling in the order of "Rose's Lies" and "Cynthia Weaver" to obtain clues.

After profiling Rose, talk to her again. After the conversation, you will receive Rose's Keyfob from her, which allows you to obtain a Manuscript.

After obtaining the manuscript, select Odin's Record and perform profiling. To obtain clues from Odin, it is recommended to progress the investigation board of the key image "To the Pond."

Let's organize the key image "To The Pond" on the investigation board based on a Manuscript Page and clues obtained from Odin's profiling. After advancing the reasoning, it is recommended to return to the Valhalla Nursing Home.

Return to the Valhalla Nursing Home and listen to the residents gathered on the porch outside the entrance on the first floor. You can hear various stories, but when you talk to Pat Maine, a man wearing glasses, and mention "listening to a radio program," the conversation will end.

• You can also Talk to Ahti on the 3rd Floor

  You can now enter Ahti's room on the 3rd floor and have a conversation with Ahti. Although no clues can be obtained from the conversation with Ahti, he will talk about The Cult of the Tree and Blum.

After finishing the conversation with the residents, you can have another conversation with Rose, who is sitting on a bench by the pond. Talk to Rose and obtain the clues.

After finishing the conversations with the residents and Rose, head to the exhibition room on the 2nd floor while obtaining a Manuscript Page on the staircase landing. You can enter the exhibition room with Rose's Keyfob. Collect all the clues and advance the investigation board.

After collecting clues in the exhibition room, let's profile Odin and Cynthia. By organizing the clues obtained from profiling, we can deduce the location of the record.

Once you reach the third floor, collect the manuscript from Gail's room first. The manuscript is located on the dirty floor of Gail's room. After collecting the manuscript, approach Cynthia's room across from Gail's room.

When you approach Cynthia's room, the power in the Valhalla Nursing Home will go out, and Ahti will tell you to investigate the generator in the basement. Step outside the Valhalla Nursing Home and head towards the basement while defeating the enemies that attack from the waterfront.

Fuse Location	Memo for Unlocking the Code

To restore power to the generator in the basement, you need a fuse that serves as the power source. The fuse is inside a red box with a dial lock, so unlock it using the code from the memo near the washing machine. Once you insert the fuse, the power will be restored to the generator area and the third floor of the Valhalla Nursing Home.

After restoring power on the 3rd floor of the Valhalla Nursing Home, enter Cynthia's room and retrieve the clues. When you retrieve the clues, Cynthia's profiling "Thomas Zane" will be added.

After retrieving the clues, use a light to illuminate the darkness in the bathtub and obtain the record. Additionally, you can also retrieve a manuscript that has fallen on the bathroom floor.

After retrieving the record, you need to go to the stage on the 1st floor to play the record on the jukebox. Enemies will appear as you approach the stage, so use the light, gun, and Hand Flare to defeat them.

After defeating the enemies on the stage, insert the record "Anger's Remorse" into the jukebox and play the song. When the song starts playing, the pond will glow red, and you can obtain the radio "Take Control."

When trying to proceed into the pond, enter the Overlap. Along the way, collect ammunition and Trauma Pads while heading towards the lower floor. Note that there is a place where you may loop back to the same path, so if you feel like you're looping, backtrack and find a different path.

Generator	Lever

When you approach the lever, Saga will mention the need for power. Pull the lever of the nearby generator three times to generate electricity, then raise the lever to restore power. Once the power is restored, the surrounding walls will disappear, and a door will appear, allowing you to proceed further.

To enter the looping area beyond the door, do not enter the passage with the numbers 4 and 5 written on the walls; instead, climb the stairs. Proceed to the end of the stairs, where a lever to turn on the electricity will appear. Raise the lever and obtain the key from the desk in the room ahead, then lower the lever to open the adjacent door.

After obtaining the Bottle Cutter from the tool cabinet, proceed to the fence door in the room behind the lever. As you approach the door, an enemy will appear. Defeat the enemy with a flashlight and a gun, then use the bottle cutter to destroy the lock on the fence and open the door.

Descend the ladder, climb the stairs, and proceed further to a large waterlogged area with a switch in the center. Press the central switch first, then search for the surrounding generators while avoiding Cynthia, who emerges from the water. Generate electricity, press the switch, and the power will be restored.

• Cynthia will Attack when She is in the Water.

  While searching for the generators, if you spend too much time moving in the water, Cynthia will approach with splashes. When moving in the water, immediately move to an area without water when you see splashes to prevent Cynthia from appearing.

After turning on the electricity by pressing the switch, descend the stairs and head downwards. In the waterlogged lower area, you will engage in a battle with Cynthia. Use the flashlight to ward off the darkness and attack with a powerful rifle when possible. Defeat Cynthia to trigger an event with Alan.

After the event with Alan, talk to Tor and conduct profiling. Through profiling, you can obtain clues about Saga's parents and the Clicker. After profiling, defeat enemies while traversing through the forest and head towards the Sheriff's Station.
