  This is really easy done on the 1st play.
  
  The way they spawn is 3 TAKEN at the start, then 1 climbs up the cliff face, then 2 more keep on spawning to the left where the first 3 TAKEN spawn.
  
  But i have found that the prolouge after picking up the Flare Gun is a hell of a lot easyer due to the amount of Taken spawing, so all u have to do is load up the check point and you have your achievments. Just keep looking at your "STATS PAGE" so you know what you have done
  
  I myself only got the pistol, flare, dodge and the 25 dodges in that one area,so its a win win situation.
  
  Killing them all for the achievements will not take long at all.
  
  Hope this helps u get some easy achievments.

  This is my first video solution so i sorry about the quality, but im so used to looking at the solution and not being able to watch what has to be done so i jumped in and tried to make this the best i can, but as i say in this solution it can help get other achievments so that you can enjoy the rest of the game.
  Hope this helps some what

  I had to kill 41 Taken before I finally got it. I'd do a cinematic dodge against the Taken until I got it to work. If it killed me I tried again until it worked. lol...

  This can be done pretty early on in the game, find yourself up against a few Taken and wait for them to swing, when they do hit LB and a direction and you should go into a slow mo dive! Keep doing that and you're sorted, if they manage to get a few hits on you just take one or two out and do it against the last guy!

  The Float Like a Butterfly achievement in Alan Wake worth 16 pointsPerform a cinematic dodge.

  
  
  After learning how to properly execute a cinematic dodge from the tutorial you'll earn this achievement fairly early. Whenever you get close to a Taken you'll want to time your dodge just right, pressing the LB button away from your enemy to cue a Slow-motion dodge.
  
  Note: This achievement is also known to be somewhat glitchy and may take several attempts before popping your 25G achievement!
