How to unlock the Words Will Never Harm You achievement in Alan Wake - Definitive Guide

This is a fairly straightforward achievement. When you enter the church basement you will see quite a large number of furnaces creating somewhat of a maze around you. Each has the small word ‘blast’ in front of it, and if you keep your flashlight focused on them briefly, the furnace will release a small burst of fire. When going for this achievement, use the furnaces to your advantage against the waves of Taken you will encounter. They are a one-hit-kill for most of them. When you’ve killed every Taken, simply go around the room setting off the rest of the furnaces.

The basement itself is pretty much impossible to miss. After you enter the church (where there's also a cutout of Barry which you need for another achievement), you will be directed to the basement. To make the furnaces go off just shine on the word 'blast'. After coming in make sure you turn around, as those are the ones that are easiest to miss. They can be used to also eliminate Taken. In addition, there's also an alarmclock on a chair somewhere in the basement.

I would also like to add that for me the easiest furnaces to miss were directly behind the stair entrance to the basement. I looked all around and finally found the ones I was missing.

Last night I earned the achievement for finding Barry for the first time and completely forgot about this achievement and I called it quits last night. Well just a few minutes ago, I picked the game back up again and the checkpoint that loaded was when you shine the light at "Friend" and queued the apparition of Barry and the conversation again. I turned about to see if the door I came out was closed and it was not. I was able to go back down the ladder into the basement and finish fining the rest of the furnaces and popped it. Just in case any of you were worried that they missed it and hadn't progressed much further beyond that parking lot.

You will enter a chuch as you progress through the story, and will go into the basement of this church.

In the basement there are furnaces with the word "blast" on them.

Shine your light on all of these to make the furnace make a flashbang like blast that is very usefull against taken.

Once you have set the last one off the achievement will pop.

The video is from achievement hunter I take no credit for it.

This is part of The Signal DLC.

The basement will be filled with furnaces that have the word "blast" around them. Shine the Flashlight to make each furnace blast. The achievement will unlock when you blast the last furnace.

When you enter the basement, you’ll notice the entire basement is filled with furnaces with the word “blast” around it. Shine your flashlight to make each of the furnaces blast. The basement is very dark and maze-like, and can get confusing if you manage to lose track of which ones you’ve done. Once you shine your light on them, they'll create a flashbang-like blast that's very bright. Some of them may blow up another furnace across from them. If this happens, make sure you go check to see if you missed any. When you manage to kill all of the Taken in the basement, go back and check to make sure that you got them all. The achievement will unlock when you blast the last one.
