Follow the Alan Wake 2: The Lake House Initiation 2: Casey walkthrough to find 6 Words of Power, 2 Suitcase Stashes, 3 Echoes, and 1 Writer's Journey video.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After picking up the Subway Pass, head north along Ocean Ave. and enter the alley to the west.
  2. 2
    Follow Alex Casey into the alley. After he collapses, pick up his Revolver and Flashlight to unlock the Find the Light trophy.
  3. 3
    Approach the bright light and use Shift Light (manipulating light to solve puzzles) to open a narrow alleyway.
  4. 4
    Head down the alley, duck under some boards, and follow it to the end. Shine your torch at the wall to find a Word of Fix (1/28), unlocking the Carry his Words trophy. Words of Power are Alan's upgrade system; you can spend the point in your Mind Place.
  5. 5
    Continue through the door and return to the previous area.
  6. 6
    Head back towards Ocean Drive. Dodge an attacking shadow, burn its shield with your torch, and shoot it. Use your torch to burn away darkness nodes blocking the alley's end, returning you to Ocean Avenue.
  7. 7
    Head south to Wheeler St., cross to the south side, and go west past the Talk Show Studio. Look for a _Cold Casey_ poster on the wall and shine your torch on the pavement underneath to find a second Word of Fix (2/28).
  8. 8
    Return to Ocean St. and head north. Past the alley, televisions in the Vision TV shop window will activate, unlocking the _Writing_ Writer's Journey video (2/9).
  9. 9
    Backtrack to the phone booths and head east through Caldera St. Plaza. Follow the arrows on Draft St. to find a Word of Action (3/28) painted on the railway bridge above.
  10. 10
    Fight off any enemies. Search behind the three telephone kiosks to your right for a red box containing supplies.
  11. 11
    Continue north to a garbage truck, turn right, and find a supply container next to a cardboard shelter.
  12. 12
    The entrance to Caldera St. Station is missing. Go to the eastern end of the street and use Shift Light to clear the rubbish blocking the staircase.
  13. 13
    Go up the stairs, cross the railway tracks, and look for a ladder to the roof.
  14. 14
    Find the _Cold Casey_ billboard. Look right for a ladder to a higher level. Round the corner and unlock the _Cold Case_ Echo (1/6).
  15. 15
    Go back down the ladder and through the door under the billboard. Go down stairs and through the door at the bottom to reach another rooftop.
  16. 16
    Find a Break Room to the left with a supply container.
  17. 17
    Go to the southwest corner of the roof for a Suitcase Stash (1/13) containing two Hand Flares, a Trauma Pad, and handgun ammo.
  18. 18
    Go to the opposite corner and head up the stairs. Enter the room at the top to find Sheriff Tim Breaker. Exhaust his conversation options and examine the board for notes on Warlin Door. Examine the map on the wall to update your own map with points of interest. Grab the supply container before going back down.
  19. 19
    Cross the roof, go up more stairs, and shine your torch down on the rooftop below to unlock a Word of Lamp (4/28).
  20. 20
    Continue across boards, turn left, and follow the wall to find a supply container. Climb the ladder near the door and head right along the scaffolding until you align the _Hard Case_ Echo (2/6).
  21. 21
    Climb back down the ladder and go through the door marked "LOST". Go up steps and out through the door. Turn right and unlock the gate at the end of the alley to create a shortcut back to Caldera St.
  22. 22
    Return to the door and head south until you see a taxi. Use Shift Light to transform it into a police car.
  23. 23
    Deal with the spawned shadows. Enter the doorway they emerged from and note the "Find Alice" graffiti. Look above it for a Word of Gun (5/28).
  24. 24
    Turn around and look for a ladder to an "Art House" sign. Climb it and walk along the walkway. Pass an air conditioning unit and shine your torch on the ground next to it to unlock a Word of War (6/28).
  25. 25
    Find a supply container between the next two air conditioning units.
  26. 26
    Return to street level and look for a tow truck. Go around the side to find a Suitcase Stash (2/13) containing a Flashbang, Painkillers, and batteries.
