Rusty Attacked by the Dark Presence

Rusty Attacked by the Dark Presence is one of the Collectibles found in Alan Wake. It is one of the pages of the Departure manuscript.

Manuscript Text[]

The Visitor Center was sturdy, but the impact turned the front of the building into splinters. Rusty was thrown across the lobby like a rag doll and hit the far wall hard.

It didn't hurt until he tried to move and saw his leg bend the wrong way, felt the broken rib stabbing him on the inside. Rusty howled in pain and fear, suddenly afraid to die alone.

Location[]

The page can be found on the corner of the low stone wall, by the entrance of steps to the Elderwood National Park Ranger Office.
