The Night Springs DLC for Alan Wake 2 focuses on a series of bizarre, almost "what-if" scenarios involving three different characters. While it may not reach We Sing levels of strange, the third episode of the DLC is easily the most memorable for how over the top it gets. What starts as playing as the actor who did the voice for Jack Joyce in Quantum Break quickly becomes a mind-bending, multiverse adventure. Here is what you can expect as you go through the final episode of Night Springs, Time Breaker.

Alan Wake 2: Night Springs - Episode 2: North Star Walkthrough

North Star is the second episode of the Night Springs DLC for Alan Wake 2, and here is how you can complete it.

Talk to the Director

Once the cutscene ends, approach the director to talk to him. Select every dialogue option until the director tells you to go down to the green room. To get there, go left toward the open doorway that is off to the left. Walk through the hallway toward the voices and the flashing lights. At the end of the hallway is an open room with a dead body.

Examine the papers on the ground and then examine the body to grab the Time Breaker Solidifier. The Agent, also known as Jesse Faden, suddenly shows up. Before she can explain what's going on, you will end up somewhere else.

Explore the Forest

Go forward through the forest. There is nothing noteworthy to find, so continue walking along the path while listening to Shawn's monologue. Examine the note on the fence and then continue onward along the walkway to progress the story.

Head up the stairs toward the trailer and go inside to find a TV. While there are some interesting notes in one of the rooms, you won't be able to use the TV until you find the energy node. Leave the trailer, go down the stairs, and head down the path in front of you. Loot the box on the tree and keep going. Walk through the creek and go right up the path.

Loot another box on a tree, keep going, and then turn left to spot a glowing node that is hovering in the air. Approach it and hold down X on a PS5 controller (the A button on an Xbox controller). With the energy node claimed, you can use it to activate the TV back at the trailer.

Along the way, you will find another dead body. There will also be an enemy that you will need to shine the flashlight at and then shoot. Keep making your way back to the trailer and then interact with the TV. Once you've used the energy node, interact with the TV again.

Explore the Hotel

After the light show, you will find yourself in a black and white version of the hotel from Initiation Five. Go through the door and be ready, as there will be an enemy waiting for you. After dealing with them, make sure to check the side rooms on the left and the right to get some ammo, first aid items, and batteries.

At the end of the hallway, you will have three doors to choose from. Each one has a clock above it. The clock on the left is set to six, the clock in front of you is set to three, and the clock to your right is at 12.

Go through the three o'clock door to reach a lobby that will show you where each door leads you. Three o'clock takes you to the Tango Lobby, the twelve o'clock door takes you to the Entertainment Lobby, There is a TV you can use in the Entertainment Lobby, but you will need to find the energy node first.

In order to get to the energy node, you will need to go through the 12 o'clock door, then the three o'clock door, and then finally the nine o'clock door. Approach the energy node to claim it. Go back to the Entertainment Lobby and use the energy node to escape the hotel.

One Alan Wake 2 Detail Sticks Out Like a Sore Thumb

Alan Wake 2 is set in 2023, yet in Bright Falls and the Dark Place, there's a recurring element that feels somewhat anachronistic.

Retro Style

After escaping the hotel, you will got through a comic cutscene. Once that is over, you end up in a two-dimensional side scroller sequence that feels like something you'd have played on a Sega Genesis. Kill wave after wave of Time Breakers by holding down the right trigger. This automatically shines a light on them, breaks their shield, and fires a bullet. Keep killing the TIme Breakers until Door eventually shows up. Approach the energy node and then go right to find another TV that you can use.

Confront the Master of Many Worlds

The next area is a wasteland filled with empty energy nodes. Move towards the energy node in the distance while dealing with Time Breakers as they get in your way. After taking the energy node, go past it toward the TV that is further ahead. Get rid of the Time Breakers and then use the TV to move on.

In the next area, you will end up in a text based adventure game. You will get two dialogue prompts. Pick "Focus", followed by "Hold yourself together". At this point, you will only have one dialogue option to choose from as you progress through the text. Eventually, you have to select a beverage. Choose the "Imagine a cup of coffee" option. Next, choose to "Focus on the Master of Many Worlds".

Choose "Meditate to learn" followed by "Force yourself to continue". Next, choose "Channel your mind". When you get multiple choices again, choose to "Take the seed" and then "Plant the seed". Once you have multiple choices again, choose to "Hang yourself from the tree". After that, select "Pick up the fruit". When you eventually have multiple choices, choose to "Use the branch with the door". This brings the final episode of Night Springs to a close.
