    Just wanted to add if you are having trouble unlocking the Nightmare mode after completing the game on Easy or Normal the game appears to be checking for "completion" on both difficulties.

    Complete the game on a either Easy or Normal (if you do normal you will get the achievements for easy completion as well I would recommend this).

    After the credits on the main menu go to Episodes > Select the other difficulty (from not your full play through aka. if completed on normal select easy) > Episode 6: Departure > The Dark Place.

    Complete the section in Alan's apartment. Run past the other words and light up the paths and bridge words, walk in the cabin, and then skip all the cutscenes and skip the credits and Nightmare should be unlocked 😁

    o 7h3 B5CnRBe careful if your goal is to finish the game quickly with only 2 runs, you must start your 1st game in normal mode to have access to the chapter selection in easy mode to just replay episode 6 the dark cave. Sorry my english is bad

    DinesyNightmare won’t unlock!!

    Done the above methods, no unlock.
    Went back and did a couple of mop up achievements, then redid the last segment chapter 6 both east and normal watching credits, no unlock.

    Powered down, quit game, no unlock.

    I really don’t want to have to do an extra run through on this but I might have to if this is a glitch!

    So frustrating!

    iTz Canada EhhThanks for this. Finished on normal and nightmare was still locked. Did this and I was able to start a new game on nightmare. Weird glitch but took a minute to correct.

    Nightmare is actually quite easy.

    Always try and avoid a fight rather than get into a fight.

    Use your flares and flash grenades when there are plenty of larger enemies.

    When you have companions just back up, destroy them with light and let your companions waste their ammo.

    Make sure you are using all supply chests available to you! I personally followed this guide. https://www.xboxachievements.com/forum/topic/205346-alan-wak...

    Another tip is to high beam your enemy for a second which will slow them down, then run to the next safe haven. Continue turning around and using this.

    I think i would have died about 3 times in my whole nightmare playthrough. Do not be scared to use all ammunition available to you as usually you will lose all your ammo at the start of the next episode anyway. Many times I ended levels with plenty of flash and flare gun ammo.

    Also ensure to walk through ALL safe havens, these are checkpoints. You can also go back to a safe haven and it will trigger a save if you beat some hard enemies and want to save that progress.

    GOOD LUCK!

    About unable to unlock Nightmare Difficulty:
    Restart your consoles → Continue Game → Wait for Credits to end → New Game.
    By the way: Easy Difficulty also applies to unlock Nightmare Difficulty.
