daevv Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I can see 15 hours for the Arcade Mode but would say under 10 hours for the Story Mode. I finished the story in like 6-ish hours with all manuscripts, without using a guide. Edited February 24, 2012 by daevv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuSt BLaZe Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/2175/UPl9ztw=.jpgPile 'Em High 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.png Defeat 2,000 Taken. This is accumulative between both Story and Arcade modes. Taken are the enemies of the game (human overtaken by darkness). You will likely get this while finishing up your achievements in Arcade Mode. If not, just keep replaying until you get it. Hey Tyger, just to let you now, I'm near the end of my completion (180 ) and still don't have this achievement. The last one that I need. So here is my method if you want to "somehow" boost this: Load up ACT III: UNITED (REPLAY SCENES) and play until you get to the point where you have to "Destroy the dark fountains"! Advance forward and trigger the very first fountain. The Takens will come indefinitely, always in threes (two normal and one big axt/hammer guy). Fire away. If you running low use the Ammo Box nearby, next to the safe haven at the building with the tv inside. The Ammo Box replenish itself every 60 seconds. Make sure you pick up the ASSAULT RIFLE on your way up or the road up the infamous SAWED-OFF SHOTGUN for one shot kills (if you can). Beware if you "REPLAY SCENES" you only start with a pistol and loose everything you have collected so far (equipment). So it could be a little tough with the two GIANTS in the beginning, but doable. Note: Doing this method right now. Works good so far. Also, I've noticed if you press the auto-save icon appears in the lower left corner in case you have to take a break. Edit: CONFIRMED!!! Got the achievement this way just a few minutes ago, yay! Edited February 24, 2012 by JuSt BLaZe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulx Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Edit: CONFIRMED!!! Got the achievement this way just a few minutes ago, yay! I'll definitely be trying this when I go for the Achievement... nice tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agusta1 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 If you would like you can always add this to the guide.

mentaljason Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) As for a guide for this game, it isn't difficult and all of the Achievements are attainable by anyone. I'd give it a 3/10 for difficulty, because it's a breeze. 3 is definitely too low. Poetry in Motion is difficult and Survivor is tougher. Good for you if you found it easy but I am proud to have just gotten those 2 achievements. This seems like a 6 or 7 to me The original Alan Wake, which I actually would agree with you if you were to call it a breeze, got a 4/10. This is definitely not easier than that one Edited February 25, 2012 by mentaljason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filter x360a Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 If anyone can time themselves playing story mode while using the collectibles guide, that would be a great help. Just kind of keep track of long it took you to complete it. This way I can have an average. My time taken is skewed of course because I was working on the manuscripts. Thanks ahead of time! Story run through took me just under 6 hours, and this was without a manuscript guide (I only missed one). I'd say no more than 5 hours with using the guide. Most of them are very easy to spot without that much searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunhero Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Story mode took me around 5 hours without using a guide and I also only missed one. I also took my sweet time listening to the radio and watching tv. You could probably rush through it with a guide in 3 hours or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeesp Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thank you for the guide. "Survivor" was the most annoying achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaziielPC Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I have found an extremely easy way to get the Skill Beats Gun & Glorious Dawn Achievements using an exploit to access a safe zone: Once in the safe zone, as shown in the video, you can wait the 10 minutes to collect your achievements.

Tyger7 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 I had a chance to get about 15/24 stars so far and I only had to play a couple levels twice in order to get 3 stars (well, Nightmare mode I get 2/3). Anyways, I should update the guide with better detail once I have it all myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalton32389 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Tyger7, the first thing I look for in a guide is the Missable Achievements section. You should add it to the guide. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiReStOrM1604659682 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks for the guide, really helpful. OT: Why is this forum called "Alan Wake's Night Springs" and not American Nightmare ? Seems like that could cause confusion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyger7 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks for the guide, really helpful. OT: Why is this forum called "Alan Wake's Night Springs" and not American Nightmare ?
