Alan Wake 2 Guide | All Collectibles Locations In Return 6: Scratch

Alan Wake 2's Return 6: Scratch is full of collectibles such as guns, cult caches, and charms.  This walkthrough will guide you through all of the major collectible locations so you don't miss anything prior to the point of no return. We'll also cover how to obtain The Nice Things in Life Trophy by petting Mayor Setter, one of the top charms in the game.

Beginning the Chapter: Police Station

Return 6: Scratch is the point of entry at the Sheriff's Station, from which the Pump-Action Shotgun can be acquired and interact with the prominent NPCs. As the exploration unfolds, you will find a room from which a TV advertisement will be transmitted. 

A taken enemy would spawn there, so be prepared to kill him. Having protected the culprits, you will find a terrified female hiding at the end of the door. Interact with her, and the female would present the key, which, later in the process, can break the locked office.

Getting the Pump Action Shotgun

With the code at hand, continue down the hallway towards the office. It is significant since the office is at the end of the chapter. Save manually before proceeding in case the treasure is missed.  

Inside the office is a weapons cabinet with a combination. Set 723 as the combination in hopes of being rewarded with the Pump-Action Shotgun. A reward for finding the gun is a Cult Stash Trophy; be sure to pick it up even with a maxed-out inventory.

Final Cult Cache: Basement Area

Next, find the final Cult Stash, planted in the basement. To gain access through the locked door, pass through the station using bolt cutters. In order to turn the power back on, search for and replace a fuse in the machine. 

Inside the locked container is the Cult Stash, which can be opened using the combination code 146.  Unlock the container and collect the reward. This is the final required collectible for the chapter, so be certain before proceeding any further.

Pet the Dog trophy: The Nice Things in Life

Before finishing the chapter, you have to return to Watery in a bid to fetch the trophy with the caption The Nice Things in Life. In a bid to do this, pet Mayor Setter the dog. At the point of no return, don't proceed immediately. Save manually first before heading home. 

Because of the night, visibility is bad; however, upon being there, exit the car and go inside the building across the street. You will find Mayor Setter there. Interact with him in a bid to pet him as well as fetch the trophy captioned the Nice Things in Life as well as the Rustic Charm trophy through the collection of all the charms of the game.

Wrapping Up

After petting the dog and collecting the last collectibles, head back to the end of the chapter at the Sheriff's Station. This is a point-of-no-return message because all the collectibles must be obtained before moving on. 

By moving on in the above manner, you should now have all the collectibles you need at this point, such as the Pump-Action Shotgun, the last of the Cult Stash, and the Pet the Dog Trophy.
