How to unlock the Escape its Gravity achievement in Alan Wake 2 - Definitive Guide

Hand flares can be found all over the map in the containers that look like ice chest/luggage, filing cabinets, boxes on light posts in Cauldron Lake, lockers, cult stashes, along with other places. I would suggest trying this after saving at a break room to reload your save in case you die or they don't grapple you.

When the enemy will grapple you it will put you in a scene where they grab you are struggling against them. You can hit RT when the prompt comes up to hit them with a flare. This will pop the achievement. You can get this on your first time at Cauldron Lake at the beginning of the game

Anyone having difficulty getting this? I’ve done a flare escape as Alan 3 times and the achievement didn’t register any of those times

Do you have to quick select the flare or just press RT?

I just had to hit RT when the enemy grappled me. If it didn’t unlock some achievements get stuck and need to exit out of the game and restart. It happened with one of the charms achievements

Yeah, I managed to finally get it by just quitting out of the game and restarting. I had been using Quick Resume this entire time and never fully ended the game.

Nevermind, just unlocked it in story difficulty. Got hit a few times in close proximity to an enemy (a big one) and they lifted me up and a prompt to hit RT came up and the achievement unlocked. I was playing as Saga in the police station.

Glad you got it! There isn’t anything to make them grab you, just hope they will.

For some reason the achievement popped only once I pressed cn_back in order to get in Saga's room, it may be the trigger or just a random delay.
