Alan Wake Remastered (US)

This really isn't too difficult. What you need to do is to make it from the police station to the fire station helicopter without dying/restarting. So if you're going for this achievement, either continue playing past Chapter 4 (Where Ch 5 starts with "Previously on Alan Wake") or start fresh from the main menu.

It can be done on any difficulty, but if you're just going for the achievement, you can do it on Easy. You start with Sheriff Breaker and she's armed with a flashlight and pump-action shotgun. Other than one or two brief instances, she's with you for the whole level. Let her do the shooting to conserve ammo and reduce the risk of you dying while you use your flashlight. Even if the Taken are still cloaked in darkness, her shotgun (and yours) knock back enemies and will give you breathing room should you get overwhelmed. For bigger enemies, use Boosted light or a flare. Also if you've played the level a few times or are practicing for Nightmare, try back-running to Safe Havens and leave your allies behind. Enemies despawn when you hit a Haven and your allies can catch up. Supplies are in abundance in this game, even on Nightmare, so pop a flare if you're taking too much damage or are getting surrounded. You lose almost all of your supplies after the helicopter, so use and abuse what you have to make this even easier.

There are a few tricky spots that might catch you out if you're not expecting it. Never hesitate to backtrack and use Boosted light and let Breaker take point to clear an area. The first spot that gets a little overwhelming is the gate just past the white picket fence that the Sheriff has to unlock. There are two waves to deal with, the second of which has a Chainsaw Taken. Deal with any fast Taken, and spam Boosted light on the big guy. Burn through 2-3 batteries as needed and if he or any others get too close for comfort, pop a flare. Breaker will help out, so it's not too overwhelming, but the mix of fast Taken and the Chainsaw Taken can make things a little tricky.

The next spot is the Church basement. There are two Heavy Taken down there. Not usually challenging, but the basement is close quarters and pretty dark. Take it slow and take them out as they appear. A quick method is to hit both with a Flare Gun round when they both appear.

When you get to the helicopter, there are tons more supplies littered around. Use everything you have to keep the enemies away as you'll be fighting 3-4 waves on your own. Start by turning on both spotlights and every time you get breathing room, turn them on again even if they're still "on". This will remove the Darkness from the Taken without you using your flashlight and batteries. Get used to toggling between Flares and Flashbangs (both Down on D-Pad) and use them as you see fit. Four or five enemies in front of you? Throw the Flashbang and press down on the D-Pad. The Taken are either wiped out or lose their protection and you have a Flare ready if you need it.

Try and keep your back at the helicopter and stay on the platform in between turning on the spotlights, and especially between waves as possessed items are thrown at you but don't land on the platform (How lucky). Use the Revolver to hit the red canisters when enemies are near them but don't rely on them and don't worry if you miss, just keep your head on a swivel. Around wave three, enemies spawn on the Fire Station roof to the left, too. Use everything, Flares, Flashes, Boosted light, Shotgun/Hunting Rifle. Just keep yourself alive and keep moving to avoid thrown items. A quick tap of LT will auto-lock a nearby enemy and give a quick shot of Boosted light. Use this to make sure no one gets too close.

Halfway through the fourth wave, Breaker will tell you it's time to go, so back up to the heli, and during the cutscene, the achievement will pop. Sorry for the long-ish guide, but I like to be thorough as I can.

Any feedback is welcome. If you leave negative, please say what it is, I'm here to learn and improve as well as help.
