The Signal – Achievement Guide

A Friend in Need

You found Barry–or at least the next best thing

25 Keep playing the game until you meet up with Barry.  He’ll stick with you throughout most of the rest of the level.  You can always tell where he is by those Christmas lights he’s draped around himself.  Unfortunately he doesn’t offer a whole lot of insight as to what is going on, but he does bring his trademark wit and that fashionable jacket to the table.

Words Will Never Harm You

Trigger all of the furnaces in the basement



You can use most of these blast furnaces to destroy The Taken.  There are a lot of them, and some of them are in unusual hiding places.  Just be sure to stand back, as the blast will also harm you.You can use most of these blast furnaces to destroy The Taken.  There are a lot of them, and some of them are in unusual hiding places.  Just be sure to stand back, as the blast will also harm you, contrary to what the title says…

License Revoked

Complete the episode without using a single vehicle

20 When you’re given the opportunity to hitch a ride, hoof it instead.  Make it across the field to the switch, and back again without using a vehicle.  This is the only instance where there is a vehicle in the game–unfortunately making it through is no easy task.  Your best bet is to destroy the possessed objects and The Taken before you make the return trip, and use the LB to dodge, dodge, dodge!When you’re given the opportunity to hitch a ride, hoof it instead.  Make it across the field to the switch, and back again without using a vehicle.  This is the only instance where there is a vehicle in the game–unfortunately making it through is no easy task.  Your best bet is to destroy the possessed objects and The Taken before you make the return trip, and use the LB to dodge, dodge, dodge!

Cardboard Companions

Discover all of the cardboard standees

25 –Odin Anderson – After you go through the general store, turn to the right.  Go around to the side of the building where you’ll find it.

–Sarah Breaker – just before you cross the broken road, turn to the left.  Follow it around to where the typewriter words are.

–Barry Wheeler – found just inside the church on the left-hand side.

–Cynthia Weaver – right after you create the bridge and drop down through the train car, look around on this rock.

–Tor Anderson – Just past the Safe Haven, after you go through the challenging street-light field

–Alice Wake – Once you reach the second bridge puzzle, go to where the switch is.  Turn around and head back to where the standee is.

Tick-Tock

Discover 10 hidden alarm clocks

30 1–The first clock is inside the Staff Only room in the Diner, sitting on the counter.

2–At the playground, just on the other side of the two fallen trees when you first enter. Jump over them to get it.

3–In the basement with the furnaces.  It’s behind the stairs, you have to go all the way around to get it.

4–In the forest, battling invisible Taken, there’s a television sitting in an arm-chair.  From the chair, head to the right.  Once you find the train-tracks (or when you find them if you didn’t head to the right…) follow them to an abandoned train car.

5–Keep following the track down from where the last train car was.  There’s another train car here, but you don’t have to go into it, just go around it.  There’s a yellow tent with typewritten words on the outside.  Destroy the words and head inside the tent.

6–In the street-light field, stick to the left.  The clock is located in the wooden fences near some rocks.  There’s an opening between the fences, and the clock is sitting on some rocks.

7–In the Demolition Derby field, check the large piles of logs.

8–At the end of the pier after “The Trap.”  Climb the ladder and walk out to the end of the pier.

9–In the container-maze, after fighting the Taken with a Chainsaw, keep to the left.  Run past the patio table and toward the fence at the corner of the building.

10–In Alan’s apartment, shortly before the final boss battle.  Check his study.

50 Practice indeed makes perfect.  The Signal can be one of the most challenging parts of Alan Wake–save your flares and flare gun ammo and keep checking over your shoulder.  Sometimes it’s best to make a mad-dash for that one functional street lamp.Practice indeed makes perfect.  The Signal can be one of the most challenging parts of Alan Wake–save your flares and flare gun ammo and keep checking over your shoulder.  Sometimes it’s best to make a mad-dash for that one functional street lamp.
