Alan Wake 2: The Lake House Episode 2: North Star walkthrough. Find the orientation video tape and discover the correct coffee roasting temperature.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Arrive outside the locked gates of Coffee World. Examine the admissions logbook in the ticket booth and enter the highlighted number 238 on the keypad to open the gate.
  2. 2
    Follow the path towards the distant gazebo, looting containers for ammo and batteries. Ignore the Shadowy Figures (they are not a threat).
  3. 3
    Reach the gazebo and get into the light. Speak with the sheriff about the shadow things; he explains the government is putting something in the coffee and abducting people from Night Springs to a nearby warehouse.
  4. 4
    Take the sheriff's spare gun and flashlight from the bench. Read the notes on the other bench.
  5. 5
    Locate the first Stash behind a small building past the gazebo. This stash is part of the Percolate trophy for finding all 6 Stashes in and around Coffee World.
  6. 6
    Find the second Stash by taking a narrow path to the right of the gazebo, heading towards the Welcome Center. After defeating two enemies, continue right towards the Percolator ride and look left for the stash.
  7. 7
    Backtrack to the Welcome Center. Find the third Stash by taking a path to the left of a row of stalls, turning right at portable toilets, and locating it in a shed by the Latte Lagoon.
  8. 8
    Return to the Welcome Center and head up the steps in front of you. Follow signs to the Tasting Room, continue past it to the right, kill three enemies, and find the fourth Stash near a children's ride.
  9. 9
    Go back towards the Tasting Room, ascend steps to the Slow Roaster, and continue past it to a row of portable toilets. Look left for the fifth Stash.
  10. 10
    Head back down the path from the Tasting Room. When the path forks, go right. At the bottom, turn right towards the Huotari Well. Burn away the three darkness nodes blocking the exit to the Coffee Warehouse and deal with attacking enemies. Turn left towards the warehouse and look behind a red pickup truck for the sixth Stash. Opening this stash unlocks the Percolate trophy.
  11. 11
    Examine the intercom next to the warehouse door. To reset the automated system, you need the fourth word of Dark Triangle Coffee's mission statement from the orientation video.
  12. 12
    Find the orientation video: return to the gazebo and ask the sheriff about the tape. He hid it in cup #4 in the ferris wheel. Take the Ferris Wheel Control Key.
  13. 13
    Return to the Tasting Room, defeat two waiting enemies, and go up the steps to the Slow Roaster. Use the key on the controls. Click the controls again when the correct cup reaches the bottom.
  14. 14
    Retrieve the Orientation Video Tape from the cup and return to the Welcome Center. Place the tape in the machine. The mission statement is: "To drink the truth is to become one".
  15. 15
    The tape attempts to hypnotize you, but your guardian protects you. Return to the warehouse and answer the security question: "Truth".
  16. 16
    Further verification is required: the correct roasting temperature for Dark Triangle coffee beans. Head back into Coffee World towards the Welcome Center. Defeat an attacking enemy near your destination.
  17. 17
    Examine the note on the counter of the nearby Roasting Bar and posters on the board for hints: the temperature is greater than the sum of the angles in a triangle (180°), the first digit is half of the second, the third digit is one less than the second, and the temperature is less than 500°. The note also states the value is a prime number.
  18. 18
    The possible temperatures are 243, 265, 287, 365, 387, 487. Given the constraints, the only prime number is 487. Input 487 on the keypad to the left to unlock the Dark as the Void trophy.
  19. 19
    Return to the Coffee Warehouse and answer the question: "Four hundred and eighty-seven".
  20. 20
    Final verification requires you to TRY THE COFFEE. Head back towards the Tasting Room.
