Alan Wake 2: Words of Power [All Locations]

In Alan Wake 2, one of the very few items that’ll help Alan along the way is the Words of Power. These collectibles allow players to increase Alan’s stats in different areas – including health, damage, ammo, and inventory. Though these Words of Power are scattered across the Dark Place and other places you unlock later on, finding them is quite easy. Let’s get started!
