How to defeat Scratch in Alan Wake 2
Mr. Scratch is very fast, the flashlight does not affect him like other opponents. When you first meet the boss, you need to focus on powering the generators. The enemy will not take any damage in this fight, so we recommend saving your ammunition.
Once power is restored to the police station, Scratch will disappear into thin air, after which Saga will go looking for Alan to change the manuscript. Having reached Lake Cauldron, the agent will perform a ritual and unlock the fold. As a result, Anderson will discover another vision of the writer dying at the hands of Scratch's insane doppelgänger, stuck in a loop. Then the boss will appear for the second and last time. Next, we will analyze in detail the battle tactics and give advice on fighting the enemy.
At the sheriff's department
The first battle will begin at the sheriff's office, in chapter "Return 6: Scratch". Alan will be locked in a cell and will begin to argue with Saga over the Nutcracker, soon the writer will transform and Scratch will reveal his true form. Estevez will tell you on the radio that a bright light should help, so you need to turn on the generators.
When the boss appears inside the station, run through the back door into the parking lot. The enemy is very fast, deals strong blows and is capable of teleporting. Stock up healing items and dodge attacks by hiding behind obstacles, otherwise Saga will quickly die.
When you go outside, you will notice three generators, burning red-orange light. Bying Scratch, lead them to defeat the shadow entity. When trying to launch the devices, the monster will constantly push Saga away.
The best weapon against the boss is a crossbow or a pump-action shotgun; alternatively, you can use a pistol or sawn-off shotgun. Shoot in the feet - this is the only way to slow down Scratch.
In a separate guide, they said where to find all the weapons for Saga.
Don't waste ammo just like that: if you hit him in the torso, you won't be able to stun the enemy. Only shooting at the legs will allow you to gain time to start one generator, then the action must be repeated.
Generator 1
Outside the station you will see first generator next to the stairs and with a supply box. Keep your distance and run towards the device to turn it on.
Generator 2
The second generator is behind a stack of boxes, also be sure to slow down the boss before starting him.
Generator 3
You will find the latter behind a garbage container on the other side of the site. Once the light comes on, Scratch will disappear after a short cutscene.
On the lake
The second meeting will take place later, in the penultimate chapter "Initiation 9: No Trace". After turning on the generators, the grandfathers, as well as other agents, to defeat Scratch. The main task is to turn two spotlights all the way to the cage in the center, and then lure the boss there.
This time the enemy is also fast and strong, but now he vulnerable to shots, and friends will help Saga and illuminate him with strong lanterns. Also slow down the boss with shots to the legs and collect supplies, dodge his attacks and heal in time.
When Scratch is stunned by light or gunfire, run towards big lanterns and rotate them. The enemy will come to his senses and push Anderson away from the devices, so you will have to slow him down a few more times before you complete the job.
At the end, run into the cage to lure Scratch there and, together, burn him - after a short scene, the final battle will end and the main antagonist will disappear.
