The Way through the Dark Place is one of the Collectibles found in Alan Wake. It is one of the pages of the Departure manuscript.
Manuscript text[]
After Zane had gone, I stood alone in the shifting dream that was the dark place. I had to find a way to the cabin. I had written myself a way through this place in the manuscript.
I followed the idea of a path. I had written myself across the ocean that blocked my way, and with that, there was a bridge to the island beyond. The idea of the cabin flickered in the underwater darkness. I willed the cabin to be real.
And it was.
Location[]
The page can be found on the wooden elevator platform above the mine encampment before the fissure.
