How to unlock the They're Heeeeeere! achievement in Alan Wake - Definitive Guide
The inanimate objects can be something of a pain to fight thanks to how tough they are. One solid hit can take at least half of your health so you need to treat these carefully. Try to keep the following things in mind:
- Possessed items only have to have the shadows around them dispersed to be destroyed. Watch the circle at the end of your flashlight to see how much health they have left.
- The bigger the item the more health it will have. Be ready to spend a good amount of time dealing with the bigger items.
- Your flashlight does good damage from range but flashbangs, flares and flareguns all do solid damage to them. If you find yourself dealing with a bunch of items shoot a flare at the group of them to dismiss a number of them.
- Try to keep a solid object between you and the item so that when it flies at you it hits the barrier. The objects can be VERY hard to dodge reliably and two good hits will often kill you so fight carefully.
You should easily get this while playing through Episode Three without any real effort. Just take out the objects as they come and you will get it.

Here you can find a video I made to unlock this achievement, with voice over to guide you to avoid any confusion. This video also contains the Iron Horse achievement.
If you want to farm this it takes about 10 minutes.
In Chapter 3, you'll get to your first inanimate object. It's a gate that jitters and you have to go up on a hill and turn a search light onto it after you start a generator. This is not the farming place but the farm is directly after this as you go down the stairs after destroying this gate. You'll get your checkpoint as you go down the stairs. There is flashlight to pick up on your right and two gate pieces to destroy with it. Pick up the flashlight, destroy the two gate pieces, and restart the last checkpoint. This puts you at the top of the stairs and you can do this 9 more times for a total of 10 to get the 20 inanimate objects you need for the achievement.

This should come with natural progression. The possessed items will not begin until part way through Episode 3, but they are plentiful. Put them to rest with your Flashlight. If you're really having a difficult time, keep reloading your checkpoint at the possessed bridge after you've dispatched the possessed items until the achievement unlocks.
You'll definitely pick this up whilst playing the game. The poltergeist controlled objects don't start until the railway bridge area on episode 3 so be patient. When they're in the air, just line them up and boost them with the torch. Nice and easy.
