How To Beat The Nightingale In Alan Wake 2
Foe Robert Nightingale returns in as a boss that you will have to beat fairly early. Unlike the first game, he is no longer a Federal Agent but still stalks Alan and Saga during the adventure. Nightingale has been murdered by the Cult of the Tree and turned into a dark apparition.
Nightingale mainly shows up during “,” which are Saga Anderson’s story chapters in the real world. His boss fight serves as the first major challenge and a form of tutorial on Saga’s gameplay. Several prompts and in-game hints will appear by default.
Nightingale will first show up in while wandering through the dark woods of Cauldron Lake. Alan Wake will whisper information through his manuscript about Robert Nightingale and provide subtle clues. For the initial ambush, Nightingale prefers to wield a large tree branch and charge in. You need to first aim Saga’s equipped flashlight directly at Nightingale to expose his “Source” weak points.
Source points are the key targets of many other bosses. Hitting these deals extra damage and can sometimes stun the foe. This makes them even better than aiming for specific body parts or springing environmental traps.
Destroy Nightingale’s entire Source, then switch to mainly doing headshots. For defenses, be mindful of the branch he holds and stay a good distance away. Also, utilize the dodge roll button to get away quickly if he does swing.
After taking enough damage, Robert will flee. This gives you time to breathe and get a better understanding of the surroundings. Ammo, flashlight batteries, andhealing items may randomly spawn. Once ready, head towards the red light shining in the tunnel to reach the full boss fight zone.
He fights similarly to the first ambush but has no more Source to exploit.
