How to discover words of power in Alan Wake 2
Words of Power in Alan Wake 2 are glyphs that the player can discover as they explore the levels of the Dark Realm. When you illuminate the path with a flashlight, you may notice arrows painted on the walls or ceiling that immediately disappear after you stop shining on them. These painted signposts often lead to powerful words. Once you find such a glyph, look at it and position the camera so that the screen flickers. Within a few seconds the pump benefit should be unlocked.

You can make it easier to find Words of Power and other collectibles in the Dark Abode. In each chapter you will meet Sheriff Tim Breaker, who has a map with marked secrets in a certain location.
