Fighting the Taken is one of the Collectibles found in Alan Wake's American Nightmare. It is one of the pages of the Return manuscript.
Manuscript text[]
I've carried a flashlight and gun for so long that I feel naked without either. It's all too often that I need them.
The darkness protects the Taken. Shadows crawl over their forms like living things, protecting them from harm. Blows that would injure or kill an human outright mean nothing to them as long as the darkness persists. But light makes them vulnerable. Light burns the shadows away. The darkness that drives them is still in them, but now there vulnerable.
Flashlight and gun. Sometimes, it feels they're all I have left.
