How to defeat Nightingale in Alan Wake 2
Former FBI agent Nightingale is an opponent you will face in two chapters of the game. If at first only a few bullets are enough to defeat the enemy, then at the next meeting you will have to use all your dexterity and dexterity to emerge victorious from the battle. Next, we will look in detail at how to defeat the boss in the morgue and in the forest.
In the morgue
The first fight will take place in the morgue, when the corpse suddenly comes to life. If you are in the light, Nightingale will not see Saga, but as soon as the girl steps into the shadows, she will become vulnerable. Wait for an enemy to by and Saga Anderson will say, "We need to move." This is the signal to grab the gun in the hallway.
The light can restore health to around the 20% mark, and also allows you to disguise yourself from the former FBI agent.
Don't waste time opening the door on the left side - it's a dead end. Instead, go to door on the right. Walk along the corridor and you will see a gun right on the floor.
When the opponent approaches, shoot at him. After about 5-6 bullets, the creepy monster will be defeated - at least for now. This little fight marks the end the first chapter of the game "Return 1: Invitation".
In the woods
The fight in the forest is a full-fledged battle, during which Saga will have to return the rebel Nightingale to the kingdom of the dead once and for all. Let's look at the battle tactics in more detail.
Stage 1: Find Nightingale's weak point
Encounter Nightingale again at the end of the chapter "Return 2: Heart" - follow a confusing route to a clearing and come face to face with a dead FBI agent. He uses a massive tree branch as a weapon, delivering slow but powerful blows. Can make a quick and aggressive grab that greatly drains health.
If you receive one of these blows, the enemy will quickly take Saga out of the fight. To prevent this from happening, try to move away, stun the enemy for a moment with a flashlight and heal.
At the beginning of the battle, immediately use a flashlight to burn away the darkness protecting the enemy. When everything is clear, aim the fire at faint red dot on chest. Once the place is on fire, focus on dodging the boss's powerful blows and aiming for the head.
Deal enough damage, and the boss will teleport to a nearby hill and cause a powerful storm of darkness and rage that will steadily advance. Turn around and run to the nearest opening in the clearing to escape.
Stage 2: Pursue Nightingale
Once you reach the clearing, follow the thin forest path. The direction doesn't matter here, it just matters move forward, since the location consists of many loops.
When the boss appears on the road, use the basic tools of combat - stun him with a flashlight, then again focus on headshots and dodging until he disappears.
A sawn-off shotgun will be especially useful in battle - a well-aimed shot to the head will make Nightingale disappear immediately. In a separate manual they said, how to get a sawn-off shotgun in Alan Wake 2.
After the enemy runs away from the battlefield, move after him. Stalking Recommendations:
- If Nightingale grabs Saga, press the hint button to hit him with the flashlight, breaking the grip.
- Watch your movements, especially when dodging blindly. These paths have thick foliage, and if you veer too close to the edges, you can end up in an awkward position.
- If the boss raises his weapon high above his head, dodge to the side, not back - the shock wave goes towards Saga and can hit her, even if you are at a decent distance.
Periodically, the enemy will appear again and again. During the battle on the ground, you will also be able to discover caches of supplies. Be careful when approaching them: Nightingale often appears right when collecting loot, taking away time for preparation and reaction.
After several “unexpected appearances” of the enemy, you can finally kill Nightingale in Alan Wake 2 - the path will eventually lead to a clearing where the final phase of the boss battle will take place.
Stage 3: Destroy Nightingale
The principles of this battle are the same as in the first stage, only this time the enemy has nowhere to run. Be attentive to his heavy attacks, have time to dodge so as not to get hit by the club.
With the help of a sawn-off shotgun, you can quickly deal with the enemy - a few shots to the head will stun him for a long time. This is enough to reload and continue firing. Shoot without stopping and the boss will be destroyed in no time. For killing Nightingale you will receive the achievement "The Lawyer" [Lawman].
Without a strong weapon, the battle will be more difficult: you will have to aim at the head with a pistol more often and dodge each time. Just a few direct hits can send Saga back to the start of the fight, so be careful. to heal and watch your distance.
