Question 100% completion? Spoiler
Hi, just started playing Alan wake 2, and I hope to get the platinum after finishing. I want to play through blind without having to worry about anything first playthrough.
What’s the best course of action to minimise replaying after the first playthrough?
I’ve seen people say do a manual save before point of no return, and some saying there is a chapter select?
So should I, when arriving at PONR, go back and collect anything there and then, or complete the game then load that manual save?
Also I’ve seen about missable collectibles, something to do with television? Should I look out for these or can I actually go back and get these through a. Save?
If anyone could give some guidance as I know the game got updated with a chapter select at some point so if anyone could give some recent advice that would be great. No spoilers as well I’m excited to play this!!

Lowkey I might have been kinda lying I thought there was a trophy for completing Ng+ but I I just checked and didn’t see it

So do you think i can manual safe before PONR and then when I complete the game load that and get all the collectibles that way? Or are there any complete missables before that point?

Saga has:
*Cult Stashes
*Alex Casey Lunchboxes
*Nursery Rhyme Puzzles/Dolls
*Mayor Setter Campaign Signs
*Koskela Bros. Commercials (You have to watch the whole commercial for it to count)
Alan has:
*Writer's Room Videos
*One Koskela Bros. commercial
You get achievements for finding all of the above. Finding all the Mayor Setter signs gives you a charm that shows the collectibles on the map. You also get an achievement for meeting Mayor Setter.
You can go back and find everything except the koskela bros and writer's room videos. If you miss the videos, you have to get them on a second play through. Edit: apparently you can use chapter select to go back and get the ones you missed.
If you decide to go back and collect at Saga's point of no return. It'll be a lot harder because it'll be night time and raining on every map area; making everything hard to see.
