Wake Fights a Taken with Light

Wake Fights a Taken with Light is one of the Collectibles found in Alan Wake. It is one of the pages of the Departure manuscript.

Manuscript text[]

The taken stood before me. It was impossible to focus on it, as if it stood in a blind spot caused by a brain tumor or an eye disease. It was bleeding shadows like ink underwater, like a cloud of blood from a shark bite.

I was terrified. I squeezed the flashlight like my life depended on it, willing it to stop it coming any closer. Suddenly, something gave, and the light seemed to shine brighter.

Location[]

The page can be found on the first of the Biltmore Logging Camps, lying on the ground near a pile of processed logs.

Notes[]

This manuscript page also appears in the Alan Wake and Fortnite collaboration map, Alan Wake: Flashback. However, the last sentence of the first paragraph is omitted.
