If you are playing Alan Wake, you're probably going to want to collect as many manuscript pages as possible. They are all taken from the book Alan writes during his blackout after his wife Alice is kidnapped. Follow this guide for an in-depth walkthrough of how to get all the guides in the game's fifth episode, The Clicker.
This is a long episode divided into two distinct parts. It is pretty easy to walk past quite a few of them, so use this guide and make sure to collect them all before reaching a point of no return. There are only 12 here in easy and normal mode, so some of them are pretty spread out, considering how long the episode is.
The First Two Pages Are Directly In Front Of You
Right after the first cutscene, walk out of the cell and there are two pages where Nightingale was grabbed by the Dark Presence.
Inside The Diner
Once you get outside, head down the road until the deer parade float drives by you. Go to your left and at the end of the road is the diner to your left. The page is inside the diner all the way in the back by the bathrooms. Once you head down the hallway, look to the left.
In Town Hall
Once you reach town hall where you have to find the helicopter keys, the page is near the podium you walk by.
In The Bookstore
Once you reach the bookstore, the page is clearly visible on the counter by the door at the end of the room.
In Front Of The Church
Once you reach the church, before going inside it, go to the right side of the street to see a yellow moving truck. The manuscript is inside the van.
Inside The Church
Once inside the church, you can find the page on the podium on the other side of the room.
After Finding Barry
Once you find Barry again, keep going along the main path until you start going up a hill. The page is halfway up this path and you'll see the manuscript page on a picnic table.
After Falling Out Of The Helicopter
This one shows up a little bit after Alan falls out of the helicopter. Keep playing until you reach a transformer yard. You will see this page behind electric wires, but you have to go a little further forward and around to actually pick it up. Make sure you get it before leaving the area and going too far ahead.
On The Red Chair
While still in the same area, you will see a blue lift. Call it down by standing in front of it and then use it to go to the top of the container where the manuscript page waits on a chair.
After You Jump Out Of The Water Pipe
Play until after the cutscene where Cynthia and Alan are walking through the pipe. After Alan jumps out and you regain control, look to the left to see the manuscript page.
After Barry And The Sheriff Leave Alan Again
Once Barry and the Sheriff enter the dam and Alan is left alone again, he is attacked by large coils of wire. The last manuscript page is just past the broken gate on a rock.
