Barry in Elderwood

Barry in Elderwood is one of the Collectibles found in Alan Wake. It is one of the pages of the Departure manuscript.

Manuscript text[]

When Barry saw the darkness attack the Visitor Center, it made him a believer. The men Al said he'd shot -- they hadn't been just locals on crank.

Somehow, the world had changed. Like the channel had been switched without a warning. You think you're watching a sitcom and you're really watching a horror show.

When the birds started attacking the cabin, Barry wasn't surprised, just terrified.

Location[]

The page can be found inside the old mill, lying on a pile of cloth sacks, after leaping across the old elevator.
