Alan Wake 2: Return 3: Local Girl Walkthrough

After finishing Initiation 3: Haunting, talk to Alan and obtain the Manuscript. You can receive it by talking to Alan multiple times and profiling him.

Upon getting the Manuscript, place the clues to Alan Wake's Interview on the Case Board to identify the location of the Clicker. This also allows you to go to a new area called Watery from the car.

• You can switch between storylines

  By advancing the case board, you can switch between Alan and Saga's storylines using the Janitor's Bucket in the break room. The order of progression is up to you. Play in whichever order you prefer.

Once the objective changes to "Go to Watery," get in the car and head towards it. The car is parked in front of the lodge.

Once you arrive at Watery, continue straight on the road in front of you. Talk to the Koskela Brothers once you encounter them. Talking to The Koskela Brothers will allow you to profile them.

After profiling the Koskela Brothers and obtaining information about the Trailer key, talk to them again. This will reveal the location of the spare key.

Once you have obtained information about the spare key from the Brothers, follow the unpaved road behind them and head towards the Coffee Shop World. The road is dark, and enemies may appear. It is advisable to explore the town and gather ammunition and recovery items if supplies are low.

• You can obtain a map along the way

  Map	Exterior

  Find a map of Watery on the road going to the Coffee Shop World. There are branching paths here leading to a mountain path. Choose the widest one and locate the map as soon as possible.

Use the map and go to the Coffee Shop World gift shop. The entrance to the gift shop is locked and requires a screwdriver to open.

Go to the Percolator ride in the Coffee Shop World and obtain the screwdriver. Defeat the enemies inside the Percolator ride's Central Cup and outer perimeter first before exploring.

Once you have the Screwdriver, enter the gift shop and open the safe to obtain the key to the Trailer. The code for the safe is 146.

• The staff's roles are hints for the puzzle

  

  The puzzle for the safe can be solved by using the memo near the safe. Combine this information with the board with the staff's roles. Press the numbers corresponding to the locations of Tracker, Watcher, Cleaner in order, and it will come out as "146."

Go to the Trailer Park once you have the Key. You will meet Odin and Tor in the area, who will claim to be Saga's grandfather and granduncle, respectively. This also triggers a conversation event.

When you're done talking to Odin and Tor, enter the Lighthouse Trailer Park right behind them. Investigate the whereabouts of the Clicker by examining the photo on the desk. This will help move your investigation forward.

When leaving the trailer, the scene cuts to an event where cult members from The Cult of the Tree appear, but no battle occurs. Follow them and head to the Kalevala Knights Workshop.

Once you enter the Kalevala Knights Workshop, go into the room on the right side and unlock the door. The pattern on the key can be solved by aligning it according to the reference image.

• The hint for the puzzle can be seen on the back of the mascot

  

  The key to the puzzle in the Kalevala Knights Workshop lies with the mascot. Go back to its location and look at its back. Adjust your position and face the center of the workshop. Align the patterns in the order of the numbers on the safe afterward.

After entering the locked room, go down the ladder and into the basement to examine the Clicker. You will see it being examined by Mulligan and Thornton as well. They will be startled and will take the Clicker with them.

• Check the board to find the location of hidden supplies

  

  Take your time and profile Mulligan and Thornton first. You will also be able to mark Hidden Supplies on the map at this time. If you want to collect them, make sure to note their locations on the map.

  List of Hidden Supply Locations

When Mulligan and Thornton take the Clicker from you, a Manuscript appears in the basement. Don't forget to look for it. The manuscript states that the float is key to opening the Overlap.

Investigate the float to obtain the Manuscript in front of it. This manuscript states basically the same message as the one found in the basement: that completing and operating the float is the key to opening the Overlap. It is recommended to investigate areas around it and obtain clues.

To make the Moose Mask appear, gather clues and profiles for the Clue Board and finish profiling Ilmo and the Deputy Sheriff. This will reveal the Mask at Huotari Well.

Go hunt down the Float materials in their respective locations once you have marked them down. Note that the Mask will not appear unless you properly profile it and mark it on the Clue Board. Profile the Deputy Sheriff first before expecting to find the Mask.

• Operate the Coffee Shop World equipment's power supply to obtain the Circuit Board

  

  The Circuit Board is accessible through a gap in the circus ride it is powering. Operate the ride and stop it at the exact moment that the gap is lined up with the path to the Circuit Board.

  After operating the ride, move under it in a circle and stop in front of the Circuit Board. It should be added to your key items.

• Go to the designated locations to obtain the other materials

  Mask	Puukko (Knife)	Cassette

  Materials for the float can be found simply by following the path to the designated locations. To move on without any hitches, however, you should conduct profiling and finish filling in the Case Board with clues.

Finish the float with all the gathered materials, then enter the Overlap. The map will malfunction in this area. Memorize the surrounding terrain to proceed without any hiccups.

Loop 1	Loop 2

Go straight for Huotari Well and enter it after arriving in the Overlap. You will be caught in a loop which will return you to the entrance. Move to that area again and examine the well. You will find it filled with...red water.

The well will fill with red water (you do know what that is). However, a path is also created at the back. Follow that path to enter a loop. Be aware that the water turning red means enemies may attack as well. It would be wise to listen closely for enemies that may be close by.

A crawlspace or rock tunnel will appear along with Huotari Well's ladder. Crawl through and move along the path. The game will autosave at this point, meaning you're in for a boss battle.

When you see the well's ladder, a crouching hole will appear on the left side. Pass through it and proceed straight along the path. After moving through the hole and proceeding straight, the game will autosave. Prepare for a boss battle when you descend the steps.

Battle Mulligan and Thornton using the flashlight and erasing the darkness. They will keep on being revived unless the darkness is fully destroyed.

• Thornton and Mulligan will appear higher or level with you

  

  Mulligan and Thornton will each pick the higher or level ground. Whichever of them is on the ground will be more difficult to avoid. You must focus on eradicating the darkness to totally defeat them. This also buys you some time to strategize for each enemy.

Return to Bright Falls by car after defeating Mulligan and Thornton. Don't forget to get the Clicker as well. Note that there are areas where the water has receded. You can explore these areas before going to Bright Falls.
