Alan Wake - Thermos Guide Part One

Pickups, collectable items or easter-eggs are strewn throughout gaming history, as time wasting completionist-centric tasks, aimed at infuriating many.

Part One Complete - Now For Part Two of The Alan Wake Coffee Thermos Guide

Now that we’ve listed the fifty-one coffee thermos players can find during the first half of the game (three of six episodes therein), it’s time to either talk a short intermission from gaming or play on and obtain the other forty-nine thermos remaining in the game world and the next three levels of play. These remaining thermos will be listed in the second part and accompaniment article to this one (FOUND HERE). By the end of that second part – written in the same style as this article – players will hopefully have found all 100 coffee thermos and unlocked the arduous achievement for doing so. Anyways, if you’re still in a mood to either read about or play Alan Wake, here are a couple of other articles related to the game you can peruse.
