Alan Wake 2: Initiation Part 1 & Part 2 Walkthroughs

The upcoming section of this Alan Wake 2 walkthrough will delve into the perspective of Alan and his narrative. Though these forthcoming chapters may be relatively brief, they serve as a segue into a chapter akin to both Initiation 2: Casey and Initiation 5: Room 665. While players of Alan Wake 2 will encounter familiar locales, they will soon find themselves traversing uncharted and perilous territories within the Dark Place.

Caution is advised as this walkthrough contains spoilers for players.

Search the Apartment

To start this chapter, make your way towards Parliament Tower. Once inside, head to the elevator. Once again, the elevator will transport players back to Alice and Alan's home in New York, or at least a portrayal of it in the Dark Place. Proceed through the door located at the back left side of the room and make your way to the kitchen. Turn around to reach the living room where you'll find a TV displaying Alice's image.

Continue following the exhibit to discover another video featuring Alice. Exit this room and proceed down the hallway to find the next Alice video. This will lead you to a room with nine TVs, all playing the same recording of Alice. After the recording concludes, players can interact with the TVs to trigger a live-action cutscene that concludes this chapter and initiates Initiation 7: Masks.

Interact With the TV

Just like previous chapters, the first step in this chapter is to interact with the TV and talk to Mr. Door. After the live-action cutscene, head towards the exit sign. This time, there is no need to worry about unlocking a door with a code. Run to Ahti and have a conversation with him before proceeding through the door on his right. The shortcut to the basement is now accessible, and players will have to go down there once again to find the pictures inside the shoebox.

Enter the basement and step out onto the balcony. Activate the Angel Lamp and then exit the room. The path leading downstairs is now open. Once downstairs, use the Angel Lamp again to continue moving forward. Head north and use the Angel Lamp to make the shoebox appear.

Retrieve the photographs contained within the shoebox. Return to the upper level and proceed to the room with the television from Initiation 1: Late Night. Employ the Angel Lamp to activate the TV. This action concludes the ongoing chapter and initiates the subsequent one, titled Zane's Film.

Alan Wake 2 is currently accessible on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Alan Wake 2: Initiation Part 1 & Part 2 Walkthroughs

Alan Wake 2 is finally here, and it's just as thrilling as I'd hoped. The game picks up right where the first one left off, with Alan Wake trapped in the Dark Place. He's determined to find his wife, Alice, and escape, but he'll have to face some new and terrifying challenges along the way.

The first two parts of the game, Initiation Part 1 & Part 2, are a great introduction to the new game. They're full of suspense, action, and scares. I especially enjoyed the part where Alan has to explore an abandoned apartment building. It was so creepy and atmospheric, and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

I'm really excited to see what the rest of Alan Wake 2 has in store. If the first two parts are any indication, it's going to be a wild ride.
