Where to find all the lunch boxes in Alan Wake 2

Lunch boxes are one of the types of collectibles that you can find in Alan Wake 2. Inside you will find Pages: a resource needed to improve Saga’s weapons. They are also needed to get all the achievements in the game. In this guide we tell you where you can find all the lunch boxes.

There are a total of 21 lunch boxes in the game. Not all of them are available from the start of the game. Some of them can only be obtained after a certain chapter. The point of no return, after which these collectibles can no longer be collected, is the end of the chapter “Return 6: Erase”. Until then, you can go back and collect any remaining items.

Lunchboxes are items that can only be found when playing as Saga. There are none in Alan’s plot. They look like small red boxes, around which there are many strands of bright yarn that attract attention. As with the codes guide, we’ve used the in-game chapter titles that appear when you save the game. These are different from the chapter titles in the Trophies or Achievements list.

For your convenience, we’ve put together a map of all the lunchboxes in Alan Wake 2’s locations. You can download it and mark the items you find. Lunch boxes are numbered in the order they are listed in the guide, so using the table of contents you can navigate to the item you are interested in and see exactly where it is located.

As you progress through this chapter, you can get 6 lunch boxes.

You will find the first lunch box almost immediately after the start of the game. Talk to the deputy and then climb through the hole in the fence. Follow the path and go down the slope past the houses, but don’t follow Casey. Turn right and follow the path. The first lunch box can be found in the bushes on the ground at the campsite.

We will investigate this place after handing over the key to the policeman’s grill. The lunch box is hidden in a dead end street in front of the store. You need to return to the shop, climb the large path and find the lunch box at the very end of the path.

This lunchbox is located southwest of the murder site. You must follow the path to the southern campsite. There is a note in this spot next to the lunch box.

The chest is located west of the Witch’s Hut. Reach the building, turn left and cross the bridge. Walk past the folding chair and around the rock – the lunch box is at the very end of the dead end.

It is useful to pick up the next box after you have received the key to the grill from the police officer. As you follow Casey back to the car where the chapter began, you’ll see a small building and an electronic antenna. The box we are interested in is on a small ledge, behind this antenna. A little further on you will find notes from an ornithologist tourist.

Another lunch box you can get almost at the very beginning. It’s located in Bright Falls and is one of the few collectibles found here in the first chapter. Before talking to eyewitnesses to the crime, head to the eastern part of the location and enter a small park. Next to the tree and behind the gazebo, a box awaits the player.

A small “batch” of lunch boxes will be available after the start of the next chapter of the Saga line.

After the flood clears, head to Witchfinder Station. Run behind the house to the northeast of the location to find another chest in the bushes.

This lunch box is hidden near the Witch’s Hut. You have to go up the river and kill the enemy. Then go to the waterfall and examine the box.

An additional 6 lunch boxes can be obtained when playing as Saga in the ‘Local Girl’ chapter.

The ninth lunch box is located next to the Radio Tower. You need to climb almost to the top of the hill and inspect the area – the object will be surrounded by colorful yarn.

From box no. 9, simply go to the water and cross the bridge. Before the fork, turn right. You will find a camping spot, next to it is the item you are looking for.

The box is located directly at the exit of the World of Coffee park. Simply leave the site and turn left towards the wooden tent. Inside you will find the valuable box.

The lunch box is located in the trailer park near the lighthouse. From the men with whom we will meet in the story and receive some evidence, go to the right side of the location. The object is located at the fence behind the swing.

Another collectible can be found in the workshop of the Knights of Kalevala. The lunch box is behind her, between two boats. You have to go around the workshop along the highway, but together with the lunch box you open a passage to the well in the park.

This is the last lunch box you will receive at this location. You can find it on the way to the lighthouse. Before you reach the safe room, go left and examine the cliff.

Finally, the last 7 lunch boxes are easiest to obtain while completing the “Ancient Gods” chapter.

To obtain this lunch box you must turn off the path that leads to the estate. Almost immediately after the junction, go south and walk almost to the dotted line on the map. There is an object under one of the trees. We have indicated the exact location in the screenshot.

The next lunch box is hidden on the estate itself, right at the entrance. Just pay attention to the chest of drawers to the left of the location map.

Lunchbox #17 can only be obtained after defeating the location’s boss. After this, the flood will disappear and you can exit through the south gate. The item you are looking for is among the trees, between two paths west of the nursing home.

The Lunch Box is located northeast of the Ranger Station, on the lower of two thin paths.

Walking a little further from the ranger station you will find lunch box #19. It lies in tall grass, which camouflages the colorful yarn well.

The twentieth lunch box is ready for you at the Billy’s Shipyard location. Cross the bridge and head south from the boat ramp entrance. The item will be next to the tree.

To get the last lunch box, you’ll need to head to the Cauldron Lake location. Go to the rental houses in the north and get the bolt cutters. The lunchbox is in room #2, but to get there you have to go through room #3.

If you get all the lunchboxes, you can upgrade Saga’s equipment and make the game a lot easier. We hope that our guide helped in a difficult situation and saved time and effort. If you missed a number of lunch boxes, no problem. You can still collect them all until the chapter ending “Return 6: Erase”.
