How to unlock the Missed by a Mile achievement in Alan Wake - Definitive Guide

This is really easy done on the 1st play.

The way they spawn is 3 TAKEN at the start, then 1 climbs up the cliff face, then 2 more keep on spawning to the left where the first 3 TAKEN spawn.

But i have found that the prolouge after picking up the Flare Gun is a hell of a lot easyer due to the amount of Taken spawing, so all u have to do is load up the check point and you have your achievments. Just keep looking at your "STATS PAGE" so you know what you have done

I myself only got the pistol, flare, dodge and the 25 dodges in that one area,so its a win win situation.

Killing them all for the achievements will not take long at all.

Hope this helps u get some easy achievments.

I had to kill 41 Taken before I finally got it. I'd do a cinematic dodge against the Taken until I got it to work. If it killed me I tried again until it worked. lol...

This is my first video solution so i sorry about the quality, but im so used to looking at the solution and not being able to watch what has to be done so i jumped in and tried to make this the best i can, but as i say in this solution it can help get other achievments so that you can enjoy the rest of the game.
Hope this helps some what

This can be done pretty early on in the game, find yourself up against a few Taken and wait for them to swing, when they do hit LB and a direction and you should go into a slow mo dive! Keep doing that and you're sorted, if they manage to get a few hits on you just take one or two out and do it against the last guy!

After performing this achievement, the action will need to be done 19 more times;
Alan WakeFloat Like a ButterflyThe Float Like a Butterfly achievement in Alan Wake worth 16 pointsPerform a cinematic dodge.


After learning how to properly execute a cinematic dodge from the tutorial you'll earn this achievement fairly early. Whenever you get close to a Taken you'll want to time your dodge just right, pressing the LB button away from your enemy to cue a Slow-motion dodge.

Note: This achievement is also known to be somewhat glitchy and may take several attempts before popping your 25G achievement!

This should come with natural progression. Dodge by pressing the LB button and pressing a direction on the joystick. Sometimes it will trigger a slow motion, close up dodge. You can't control when these will happen, but it is quite often.

Just a heads up rather, if you would like to get this out the way on prolouge when you get to drop down just after getting the flare gun they spawn 3 guys, spam the dodge button untill it pops ^.^

A cinematic dodge is when you press  and a direction on the left analogue stick at the same time a Taken swings for you. The camera will slow down and Alan will narrowly miss the attack. These are unbelievably easy to pull off. If you want, you can kill off two of three Taken when they spawn and do this on the one left over. Truth be told, you'll get it naturally in one playthrough. If by some chance you haven't, use one straggler of a Taken to get it on.
