Introduction
Welcome to the Alan Wake 2 DLC #2: The Lake House Trophy Guide! A short DLC exploring The Lake House that was previously inaccessible at Cauldron Lake, you will need to collect all documents and unlock all computers. There are a few miscellaneous and combat trophies, but everything can be done on the easiest difficulty.
Step 1: Complete the DLC, find all Collectibles
Play through the DLC on any difficulty and collect all documents and unlock all computers. There are also some miscellaneous trophies, all of these are covered in The Lake House All Collectible Locations.
There are a few combat-related trophies, for these it is best to make a manual save when you arrive on ‘Sublevel 4: Research Archives’, as everything you need for these trophies can be done here. You will need to:
- Stun a Painted enemy with a Flashbang
- Defeat a Painted enemy before it leaves the wall
- Defeat one of each enemy in the Lake House with the Black Rock Launcher
Once you go down to ‘Sublevel 5: Threshold Experimentation’ you will reach a Point of No Return, so if there’s anything you’re still missing you can go back through the previous Sublevels to get what you need before you finish the DLC.
Step 2: Cleanup
If you missed any collectibles or miscellaneous/combat trophies, either start a new playthrough or load a manual save to get what you missed.

Fabio says
If you’re playing on PC you have to limit the FPS to 30 to get the Shape of a man achievement
B says
Thank you for this guide. I cant believe Alan Wake 2 doesnt have one gold trophy. Lol.
ABZ says
Can confirm it is possible to get “Pull the Painting Out” on sub-level 4 but I would just recommend people do it on sub-level 1 right after getting the Blackrock Launcher.
The enemies on sub-level 4 tend to work off proximity and they seem to randomly spawn so it’s much harder to get this trophy on that part.
Konrad says
After the latest patch the glitched trophy is fine now. At least it was for me.
