Alan Wake Remastered - Nightmare Guide

Nightmare is the 3rd and final difficulty in Alan Wake. To unlock it, you must first finish the game on either Easy or Normal. 

Nightmare difficulty is not realy that hard. Checkpoints are the same, and if you collected everything so far, you only need to focus on last 15 Manuscripts related only to this difficulty and surviving. I even got some trophies like Meat the Deadline in Episode 3 - while playing on highest difficulty. You can avoid most of the fights, and do that; you will be faster and you will spare bullets. Another note is to collect hidden chests for ammo; they also mostly give you a Flare gun, and you want to use Flare gun.
