How to discover words of power in Alan Wake 2

Words of Power in Alan Wake 2 are glyphs that players uncover as they roam the Dark Realm. When a flashlight illuminates the walls, arrows painted on surfaces may flash briefly before vanishing once the light is moved away. These markers guide players toward potent Words. Upon spotting a glyph, the reader should glimpse it and frame the camera to catch the flicker on screen. After a short moment, the Word power is unlocked and ready for use.

You’ll often find it easier to spot Words of Power and other collectibles in the Dark Abode. In each chapter, Sheriff Tim Breaker appears with a map showing secret locations. To pinpoint a precise spot, listening for ambient sounds helps; a distant song often signals the sheriff nearby. The map usually hangs near Breaker on the board.

At the alley’s end, where Casey appears and a revolver is picked up, a glowing arrow points to a narrowed passage. Once the signs vanish, inspect the wall above the doorway for the glyph.

After the second save room, a derailed train scene opens. Follow to a dead end and scan the ceiling; the glyph will appear.
