Phasmophobia Guide: How to Complete the Alan Wake Event
Master the Dark Place, Farm Event Points, and Unlock Every Exclusive Crossover Reward Before Time Runs Out.
Quick Answer: To wrap up the Alan Wake crossover event, you need to play on four specific modified maps and use the Angel Lamp to disperse shadow figures. Doing so earns you event points regardless of whether you correctly identify the ghost. Make sure to find all Words of Power and Doll puzzles to unlock the exclusive Alan Wake and Saga Anderson outfits before the event expires on June 2.
Step Into the Dark Place
Phasmophobia has officially collided with the twisted reality of Alan Wake, bringing a thick, eerie atmosphere to some of our favorite hunting grounds. This isn’t just a simple cosmetic swap; there is a genuine story unfolding in the “Dark Place,” and you have a limited window to claim the rewards.
Everything, from the outfits to the unique ID badges, disappears after June 2. If you want to prove you survived the writer’s nightmare, you’ll need to know which maps to visit and how to actually progress through the event tiers.
Event Map Conversions
The crossover takes place on four specific maps that have been overhauled with Alan Wake-themed aesthetics. You won’t find the event objectives on every map in the game, so make sure you’re selecting the right ones from the contract board:
| Standard Map | Event Map Name |
| Camp Woodwind | Coffee World |
| Nell’s Diner | Oh Deer Diner |
| Bleasdale Farmhouse | Elderwood Palace Lodge |
| Grafton Farmhouse | Cauldron Lake |
How to Farm Alan Wake Event Points
Earning points in this event is surprisingly straightforward, and the best part is that your survival isn’t strictly mandatory for progression. You can focus entirely on the event objectives and still walk away with a win.
- Locate the Angel Lamp inside the equipment truck. It’s usually sitting right by the CCTV monitors.
- Equip the lamp in your off-hand so you can still carry a primary tool or flashlight.
- Search both the interior and exterior of the map for “shadow people.” These are dark, flickering silhouettes.
- Aim the Angel Lamp and hold the use button to shine a light on them, dispersing the shadows.
- Head back to the van and leave. You’ll receive your points in the lobby even if you fail to identify the ghost or die during the investigation.
While you are out zapping shadows and hunting for clues, you’ll likely want to track down the hidden glyphs scattered across these maps. Check out our detailed Phasmophobia Alan Wake Words of Power guide to make sure you don’t miss a single one needed for the legendary outfit.
