In the Night Springs DLC for Alan Wake 2, players are confronted with a unique and challenging puzzle in Jesse Faden’s North Star chapter. The puzzle revolves around a coffee blend that has the power to reshape minds, hidden within the Coffee World amusement park. While most of the puzzles leading up to this point are straightforward, this particular puzzle requires a combination of logic and mathematics to crack. Players must determine the optimal roasting temperature for the Dark Triangle coffee blend in order to progress to the coffee cult’s headquarters.
Deciphering the Clues
The key to solving the optimal roasting temperature puzzle lies in carefully analyzing the posters next to the coffee roaster within the Roasting Bar. The first poster cryptically states, “More Than A Sum Of Its Parts,” accompanied by a triangle logo and the word “angle” in red. This clue hints that the optimal roasting temperature is greater than 180 degrees, drawing a connection to the angles of a triangle.
Moving on to the second poster, which reads, “The Secret Is In The Roast,” players are provided with more explicit instructions. The poster reveals that the first digit of the optimal roasting temperature is half of the second digit, and the third digit is one less than the second. By applying basic arithmetic to this information, players can narrow down the possible combinations for the temperature solution.
The final poster serves as the clincher, indicating that the optimal roasting temperature is below 500 degrees and emphasizing the significance of the terms “prime” and “number.” Armed with these clues, players can eliminate incorrect combinations and arrive at the correct solution – 487. This meticulous process of deduction and reasoning is essential for progressing through this complex puzzle.
Alternative Solution
Interestingly, there exists a quicker method for arriving at the solution to the coffee roasting puzzle in Alan Wake 2: Night Springs. By closely examining the final poster, which mentions Planet X-13 and the distance of 500 light years between Earth and Planet X-13, players can uncover a hidden mathematical relationship. Assuming 500 as X, subtracting 13 yields the solution of 487. This alternative approach offers a more streamlined path to unlocking the code for entry into the Dark Triangle headquarters.
Once the optimal roasting temperature is deduced, players can input the number into the coffee roaster and gain access to the code required for entry into the mysterious coffee cult’s headquarters. This intricate puzzle showcases the depth of thought and creativity embedded within Alan Wake 2’s Night Springs DLC, challenging players to think critically and unravel the enigma presented before them.
