These chests are especially useful when playing on Nightmare difficulty, as players will have to rely on excellent resource management a lot more than when playing on Easy and Normal. There are four supply chests to find in Episode 1 of Alan Wake Remastered, and this guide will detail exactly where to locate all of them.

All Collectible Hidden Supply Chests in Episode 1 of Alan Wake Remastered
Hidden Supply Chest 1
The first hidden Supply Chest is found after Alan’s initial fight with the Taken in Episode 1. Instead of hopping the fence on the right, turn left and follow the yellow paint into an alcove beside the stacks of wood. It contains a Flare Gun and ammo. Players can then go the right way over the fence and find a nearby Alan Wake Remastered Episode 1 Manuscript Page if they haven’t already.
Hidden Supply Chest 2
After crossing the stream after Alan meets Stucky for the first time, turn left instead of right, and follow the yellow arrows up a ladder on the left. Head up to the shack, and players can find another box that contains some batteries.
Hidden Supply Chest 3
After crossing the platform to get to the top of the broken stairs, head left as soon as possible and follow the yellow paint to a structure with a rusty car beside it. The hidden Supply Chest is inside the structure, and contains another Flare Gun and ammo. There are two Alan Wake Remastered Episode 1 Coffee Thermoses located in the woods ahead that players should also look out for.
Hidden Supply Chest 4
The last hidden Supply Chest in Episode 1 is located after Alan has to make a small jump down a ledge into a new area, while the Taken pursue him. This jump is located just past the lighted Safe Haven with an ammo box in the woods area. Players can heal here in Alan Wake Remastered if they need to. Once Alan has jumped down, turn left and follow the path up to a locked gate. Turn right here and follow the paint to find the box. Inside is another Flare Gun and ammo, which will be useful in the fight with Stucky ahead.
Alan Wake Remastered is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
