Get back to the electrified fence. On your way, you'll encounter a large group of enemies and flying objects. Use your flashbangs very often and try to reach that fence mentioned above as fast as possible. Jump over it and walk up the stairs to enter the building.
Inside, you'll find three more opponents. Throw them a flare and finish them off with a gun. Collect all the equipment lying on the desk and shelves, then run forward. You'll encounter more enemies, but they're easy to kill. Climb up the ladder nearby.
Exit the building and jump down to ground. A tree in the distance will fall down. In a small building nearby, you'll find a control panel, with which you can open the gate. Do it and leave the mine.
You'll find some flashbangs outside. Take them all and turn right, passing by a destroyed wagon. Some enemies will be here, waiting for you. If you can keep them in a distance, you'll have no problem eliminating them.
Keep running forward, until you reach some kind of a crossroads. If you turn left, you'll reach an equipment crate. If you go right, you'll find a light post with a lot of useful equipment, which I advise you to collect as soon as possible.
Walk through the bridge and exchange you shotgun for a pump-action shotgun. Continue your journey, preferably by turning left.
You'll find some lamps on your way through the forest. Run from one lamp to another, turning them on and eliminating enemies chasing you. At some point, a large pack of Taken will appear. Finish them with flares and flashbangs. After the fight, take the narrow mountain path.
You'll reach a cemetery with three extremely fast opponents. Kill them all, the best weapon here would be a flashbang. Continue the walk. Enter a little shed and turn on the light inside. Collect all the equipment located in there and continue your journey.
You'll reach an abandoned town. Walk through the bridge, but be careful, as there are lots of haunted objects in here.
'You'll find some batteries in this vicinity. Keep on walking the main road, towards a little source of light, barely visible in the distance. More haunted objects will attack you here. Destroy them with your flashlight, keep hiding behind trees and rocks to avoid damage. Once you reach destroyed wagons, turn left and walk around them.
There is a steam car behind those wagons. It is haunted, so hide behind the tree nearby in order to avoid its flying parts. Destroy the steam car with your flashlight, and then enter the cabin nearby.
The cabin, unfortunately, is locked. Take the key from a shed nearby and open the door. Inside, you'll find some equipment, a hunting rifle and a TV set, in which you can watch another show. Walk out of the cabin through the back door.
Behind the hut, you'll find a ladder. Climb it up and then use another ladder located there. When you reach the high level, examine the vicinity. You'll find some arrows painted on the rocks, indicating the location of another equipment crate. In order to continue the journey, you have to take the rocky mountain way.
Some birds will appear in the sky, and your path consists of wooden, old platforms, ready to collapse at any time. Sprint through this part of the level. Every time you reach a safe and stable ground, take some time to burn a few birds mentioned above.
You'll reach a silver mine. Jump down to the tunnel in order to run away from the birds. The way through the mine is narrow and simple. At some point, you'll reach a large cave, with signs painted on the rocks. Take the narrow tunnel on the left. Once you reach the water, turn around and go back to the large cave. Take the second tunnel, which wasn't visited yet.
You'll reach another great cave, with an exit visible in the distance. However, you'll not be able to get out the mine, as the tunnel leading to the exit will collapse and a group of Taken will attack you. Kill them all using flares and flashbangs.
As you'll notice in a short cut-scene, one of the monsters opened a tunnel, trying to reach you. Walk that tunnel, until you reach an enormous mine shaft.
Walk up to the control panel and use it to lower the steel supports and create some kind of a bridge, that can be used to get to the next part of the level.
On the other end of the shaft, climb up the ladder located there. Use another control panel in order to lift the supports and create a bridge again. Once you walk above over the supports, you'll find a third panel for you to use.
Use it, then climb up the ladder nearby. Walk over the steel supports and walk to the ladder located in there. Kick it in order to make it drop to the level below. Climb it down, and you'll reach a recently used control panel. Use it again to lift the supports even higher, then walk over them to reach the mine's exit.
Climb up the ladder and kick the boards located up there. You'll finally get outside. You'll find stairs on your right. If you walk them up, you'll find some flares. If you walk them down, you'll reach the way to Mirror Peak.
Birds will reappear in the sky. Turn on the generator nearby as fast as possible, in order to provide yourself with some light. Collect the equipment lying around.
A cable car will arrive. Enter it and continue your journey. During the ride, a lot of birds will come after you. Use your flashlight to scare them off. The cable car will start falling down, and in the end it will hit the mountain in front of you. Finish two incoming enemies and take the only path available.
A railway wagon will fall from the sky, right in front of you. Walk around it and run towards the light nearby. Take the equipment from the emergency box and keep moving forward.
You'll reach some ruins, in which you'll find a hunting rifle and some ammunition. Arm yourself and run down the path to the next part of the level. Kill the enemies standing in your way and reach the next light post.
From there, keep running forward. You'll reach a bridge. Once you walk on it, enemies will attack you from both sides. Pull out your hunting rifle and shoot them all. After the fight, keep running forward. Behind rocks to your left, you'll find an equipment box.
You'll reach some more ruins. Push the boards in front of you, kick the supports of a wooden platform, and then run forward.
Enter the ruins through the basement. You'll notice that it's an extremely weird room. Walk up to a higher floor. Collect all the equipment, and then walk up the stairs in order to get to the highest floor.
Once you walk on the greenish parts of the floor, you'll fall down, back on the lower floor. A group of Taken will attack you here. Use your flashbangs, flares and hunting rifle to eliminate them all.
After the fight get back to the highest floor, jump over the hole and then jumps down to the ground. Continue the walk. At some point, a cut-scene will turn on and the third episode of Alan Wake will end.
