During Initiation 8 in Alan Wake 2, you may have some problems with an objective that involves delivering photos of Alice found in the Talk Show studio's basement to the Shoebox in the Parliament Tower square. On this page of the guide, we show where to find the needed photos, how to reach the basement area they are in (which will require using the Angel Lamp) and where exactly to deliver the photographs in Parliament Tower.

• Unlocking Gain Entry to Parliament Tower objective
• Reaching the Shoebox in the Talk Show studio basement
• Delivering the photos to Alice's statue on the square

Unlocking Gain Entry to Parliament Tower objective

1. During the course of Initiation 8, one of the conversations with the mysterious stranger over the phone will result in receiving a new objective - Gain Entry to Parliament Tower. While in the process of completing the objective, you'll need to find photos of Alice, which is a goal of a different objective - Put the Photos From the Talk Show Basement.

1. Start by going back to Talk Show studio. As a reminder, the entrance to the building's basement is in south-western part of the playing area.
2. Make your way to the Break Point that contains TV sets. There is a Shoebox here, but this is not the one you are looking for this objective.

Reaching the Shoebox in the basement of Talk Show studio

1. Your destination is another Shoebox found in Basement Storage - we mark it in the screenshot above.

1. To reach this part of the basement, you need to use Angel Lamp. Using it in the room with TVs will reveal a door.
2. Follow the path laid out by corridors to find a balcony (screenshot 1) Activating the lamp here will reveal stairs leading down (screenshot 2).

1. At the bottom, you'll find a fenced area and you can remove the fence by activating the Angel Lamp once again.
2. Reach the Shoebox marked by the mission marker. Initially, you cannot see it - use the Angel Lamp. The Shoebox will appear (screenshot).

1. Examining the contents of the box will allow you to take out 2 photos of Alice.

Delivering the photos to Alice's statue on the square

1. Head back to the basement exit which is the place where you've begun completing this puzzle. Along the way, you may need to use Angel Lamp and will have to face new Taken.
2. Your new destination is the square before the Parliament Tower. There is a statue of Alice in its central part and another Shoebox is found there. Interacting with it will activate a cut-scene that concludes this puzzle.
