moontsuki Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I hate this achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baihu1983 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I actually think this one will be easy. Only time i died on my first play was standing next to the crumble word on the bridge so Alan fell to his death when i used the light on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moontsuki Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 the platforming bits are the joke for this achievement ; they make it hard because alan is so jittery. idiot keeps falling to his death round the tornado. 1 fall and thats it, back to the beginning AGAIN.

Buruma Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Heard it's easier than Run On Sentence. Hoping that's true...? Took five tries to net that one. Nearly sent my controller sailing at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Continuously seem to die at this part. Really annoying that they threw this crap in here. Alan Wake is not a platformer, christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericho Cross X Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I did in my first game in the expansion, just take the 20 flares, and use them with caution during the mission. I found most challenging the signal.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundlessb00m Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I got right to the part where you have to 'clear' the rock for the lighthouse to kill the enemies....I died there :@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraithdagger Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 This achievement is MUCH harder than the Signal. I did the Signal in like 3 tries. This one I keep missing the fodsfkldsjcking jump at the tornado. Then its 10 minutes to run back. The only other parts I died at were the giant rotating thing that lead to the well lit room, bloody fell like 50 feet there. And the crows heading toward the lighthouse. Oh, and the bloody giant taken that ambushes you after that as you're clearing the rocks. I figured out how to pass that np. At least the tricky parts are early...

BuddyRusso Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I am having a difficult time with this one. I think it may have something to do with the fact I haven't touched this game since The Signal. The weird part is I am dying at what should be the easier parts later in the DLC. Oh well, I'll get it eventually. I'm just impatient, it's my last 'chievo for 1500. I will say that I actually prefer this type of achievement over the "collect X number of crap items" thing (and EVERY game does it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moontsuki Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 well guys i FINALLY did it, the only real trouble i had was at that damn tornado. after that it was pretty much the usual thing of taking out the Taken. Bide your time and don't make silly mistakes, like thinking you can run past them unless you have flares to keep you safe. That last bit with the lighthouse beams, just destroy the rocks and then run back so that it takes them all out, reserving ammo for the final fight. I kept about 11 flares, the flare gun, a flashbang and rifle ammo to take out the last bosses. Use the flares to keep the birds at bay and just throw everything you have at the other guys. I feel your pain, just stick it out, you'll get there. Happy 1500G gamer here now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly sent my controller sailing at one point. I found it easier. Run On Sentence took me 5 tries. No Punctuation took me 1 try. The tornado part is easy, I even did it fast enough for 'Whirlwind'. The only part I nearly died on was when you get attacked by crows as you're heading to the lighthouse, the part with those mini-lighthouses you can turn on. You get attacked by crows and two taken show up right near you ... that was a close one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moontsuki Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) The tornado part is easy Nah, its not, its irritating. I did actually find Run on Sentence easier though. Edited October 14, 2010 by moontsuki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemesis3 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 where is the tornado part i clocked the dlc once and i didnt even notice a tornado (SPOILER) just the bit at the end where fight barry and a few taken and birds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarleyMon81 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I kept about 11 flares, the flare gun, a flashbang and rifle ammo to take out the last bosses. Where did you find the flare gun? I haven't been able to locate it on my first playthrough and figured it would help on that last boss area. Also, can you shed any light on how to perform the "Iron Will" achievement?

Machew8472 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 i agree, the tornado part is giving me so much grief.. im getting really f***ed off now. must of restarted about 20 times... im getting so sick of running through the first 5 mins of game only to have to do again... arrgghhh!

There's a secret cave you can enter right after getting off a crashed plane's wing. Once inside you'll see the word Flaregun, shine your flashlight on it and poof! You've got yourself one flaregun so make the best of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantViper Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Nah, its not, its irritating. I did actually find Run on Sentence easier though. Shine light on word. Jump to it. Shine light on path, follow path while dodging the Taken that pops up. Repeat steps 1-3, run to ladder. Achievement unlocked. Nothing irritating about it for me.

I gotta agree with you there, Alan Wake is not a platformer and shouldn't be given sections pertaining to platforming. You wanna hear what's truly ridiculous about that part? Having the lumberjack Taken jump on one of the debris with me and knock me off on my first (and only so far) No Punctuation run . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Near the start after the house starts spinning round. You have to shine the light on objects to move around the tornado, then go up a ladder then go round again.

Oh, and the bloody giant taken that ambushes you after that as you're clearing the rocks. I figured out how to pass that np. At least the tricky parts are early... Figured out the solutions to all of these, just thought I'd share if anyone needed assistance. 1) The tornado: About the second "bridge" on the lower ring is a bus. Wait for that one if going for No Punctuation. I was shining my light on the upper ring as I waited for it to go around, so when I got past the taken and up to the upper ring, I waited for a trio of beds to jump on. 2) The "wheel" that leads to the well lit room: waited til the room was actually upright and then ran to it. 3) Crows: Took out as many taken as I could before they showed up, used flares if i heard em coming from behind. Make sure to save at least 4 for the final battle. 4) The clearing rocks part: Lead the taken into the light. Stun them with the flashlight, don't move too fast or slow. Hope this helps, finally got it a little bit ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I never had this happen. When I went for Whirlwind I was even forced to jump on those small wooden spool things, didn't have a problem.
