Finding the Alan Wake 2 Oceanview Hotel door code can be an easy point to get stuck at, having already spent ages winding your way up to the hotel's alternate entrance. While the code isn't obviously visible in this area at first, a bit of studying your surroundings, and fiddling with the lights should lead you to discovering the code at the nearby bar - which also happens to be where you can collect the Dark Place shotgun in Alan Wake 2. Here's exactly where you need to go and what you need to do to uncover the Alan Wake 2 Oceanview Hotel door code.

1. Get to the Oceanview Hotel alternative entrance

Getting to the Oceanview Hotel alternative entrance is quite the trek in Alan Wake 2, and it's especially annoying that once you do get there, you're met with a code locking the damn door. However, there are hints as to how you'll find the passcode, starting with one noting the new Oceanview cocktail on sale with arrows pointing vaguely in the direction of the bar opposite. 

2. Find the bar by following the red carpet and turn on the lights

Thankfully, the red carpet has been laid out for us, showing us the way to the bar. Follow the red carpet away from the Oceanview Hotel door and towards a pergola that's underneath a final Mirror Peak neon sign. 

You'll see a light flickering from within, so head towards it and use the lamp to bring the light here. If you need some light ammo, then you can go back to where you entered this area and grab it from there. Turning on the light will turn this bar from hollowed out shell to stocked and ready to party. 

3. Take a look at the drinks menu on the back wall of the bar

On the rear wall of the bar once you've got the lights on, you'll be able to see a bar menu that lists a number of cocktails - all of which seem pretty pricey to me, even for New York prices. But, the one to pay attention to is the aforementioned Oceanview Cocktail with its listed price of 25.50. It's more than a price, of course, as 2550 is the Oceanview Hotel door code.

Don't forget to flip the light and grab one of the more hidden Alan Wake 2 weapons as well in here, Alan's shotgun. 

4. Go back to the Oceanview Hotel door and insert the code

Then all that's left to do is head back to the number pad and put in the 2550 code. This will give you access to the Oceanview Hotel immediately and let you carry on through the next part of the story.
