There are places in our world where fiction and dreams can come true.


Words of Power

In Alan Wake 2, the writer can collect Words of Power, which allows him to strengthen his skills. Words of Power take the form of spiral graffiti sprayed in light-sensitive paint. When Wake shines his torch beam on the spiral, another skill point will be added to his collection. 

To make sure that a Word of Power has been successfully collected look out for an old film-like filter. A notification will also pop up, encouraging the player to make their choice. 

Words of Power are split into six categories; Fix, Gun, War, Stuff, Aid, Action, and Lamp. You can read how you can improve each one below...
