If i like it, Ill put it in here and give you credit +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ******************* *********************** *** WALKTHROUGH *** [WLKT] *********************** ******************* This walkthrough will provide players with the fastest route for each Act from beginning to the end. By following this guide you will also be able to collect and unlock all of the achievements and power nodes scattered throughout the Sprawl. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Chapter 1: Betrayal [SEV-01] =============================================================================== After the brief introduction, and a quick squiz at our new leading man – Gabe Weller, you will gain control of said protagonist. Gabe has a fancy pulse rifle and a seeker rifle at his disposal. He also has a suit locator identical to the one Isaac has in his suit, so if you get lost, use the locator to find your way to where you need to be. Use the suit locator and follow the glowing path down the nearby hill and through the rocks here, watch out for the cyst on the left. Continue to the right, picking up the med kit off of your fallen comrade and destroy the cyst on the opposite side of the rock here. Continue towards the blue light on the floor in the distance. As you approach a spider necromorph will come around the corner, kill this and follow the passage around to the right. Immediately after you enter the room, look to your right and destroy the cyst on the wall here. Proceed through the room and climb the slight hill here (watching out for a cyst on the left) until you reach a door with a corpse in front of it. Examine the corpse for a flamethrower. Walk past the door and into the corridor lit by the blue flare here, at the end you will find a power node (1). Return to the door and cruise on through. Here you can use the save station (SS1) or either the bench or the shop nearby (if you have any DLC weapons or armour, you will be able to equip them here). You will have 50,000 credits to start off with so I would recommend purchasing either the force gun or the javelin gun (for use in grabbing an achievement/trophy in the next room) and then feel free to purchase any power nodes or ammo as you so desire and when you are done re-stocking and upgrading, use kinesis to move the obstacles before proceeding through the door at the bottom of the ramp. Upon entering the room you will see a slasher in the distance, slowly move forward and look to the right when possible to see a second slasher. Kill them both. Move further into the room. o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Note: “Grind House” trophy/achievement. On the left hand side of the room you will see spinning gears, now if we use these to kill an enemy we will earn an achievement/trophy “Grind House”. o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Walk slightly past the gears here and use kinesis to pick up the stasis canister lying against the far wall. Move a bit more towards the exit and this will trigger an attack. Move back to the far side of the grinding machine and wait for the exploder and some pack children to be right in front of it before launching the canister which will cause them to slow down, now manoeuvre Gabe around so that the baddies are between him and the grinder and use either the javelin gun or the force gun to launch one of them into the gears for the reward, alternatively, once you have a necromorph in stasis, you can simply push them into it. Mop up any survivors before exiting into the next corridor. Enter the unlocked door here and proceed through the tunnel until you exit into another large room. After the short conversation with your buddy upstairs, look behind the ramp directly in front of you to see a small alcove. Use kinesis to pick up the crate in here to reveal a power node (2). Use your suit locator and follow it around to a set of stairs. Climb to the top and kill the necromorph here and the infector that come to attack you. Make your way to where your friend was earlier when he spoke to you and use the blue console here to unlock the door. Doing this will cause a pair of leapers, two slashers and a group of pack children to attack you from both sides. Hang out on the central platform and if things get a little hectic, don’t be afraid to use a bit of stasis if need be. Once you have successfully fended off the attack, you will earn the achievement/trophy “King of the Hill”. Proceed through the unlocked door. Continue through the corridor until you exit into a large elevator shaft. Use the save station (ss2) here if you like, then hit the button to call the lift. Enter the lift and use the blue panel to descend. When you regain control, you will be suspended upside down, just like Isaac was at the end of Chapter 2 of the main campaign. Looking straight ahead, necromorphs will start coming down the ramp in front of you, first up a pair of slashers will make an appearance, then an exploder, then another 3-4 slashers and a pair of exploders will come. Just eliminate them all and when enough have been killed, Gabe will fall free of the lift. Huzzah! After the scene, stomp the bodies and grab some ammo before following the set passage until you reach the next unlocked door. Make your way through to the next large area (remember this place from the mining area of the Dead Space 2 campaign? You should do! The next few areas will be pretty familiar as we head in the opposite direction that Isaac went on his way through). Use the blue panel close to the entrance to override the emergency lockdown and head up to the ramp. Kill the leaper that appears and then loot the room for ammo and health. Retreat back down the ramp and to the left hand side of it is a small walkway leading to an area underneath the higher level. Here you will find a second emergency override switch. Hit this one, this time it will trigger a pair of leapers to attack you. Fend them off and then climb the ramp, follow the walkway around to the right and next to the elevator here you will find another blue emergency override switch. Use this panel and kill the pair of infectors that come to greet you. If that was your third panel, return to the top of the ramp and head through the now unlocked door along the walkway to the left. Here you can use the save station (ss3), use the shop or upgrade your equipment at the bench. When you are ready, proceed up the ramp next to the bench and through the next unlocked door. As soon as you enter the next room, examine the box on the wall in front of you for a power node (3). Continue around the walkway here and kill the crawlers and the guardian. If you are lucky a crawler will be right next to the guardian and blowing it up will yield the guardians death as well –if not kill it before approaching. Be sure to loot the guardian for a gold semiconductor and continue along the walkway. Head into into the room on the first right to find a super slasher playing dead on the floor. Kill it for a med pack, alternatively, skip him altogether and head through the unlocked door. Continue through this room and out the other side. Move slightly up the ramp and then sprint into the small room behind and to the left of the entrance. Kill the three leapers that appear and look out for a spitter on the right side of the area when you decide to leave the safe spot and another spitter will appear a little further up the ramp. Continue through the open door at the top side of the room to find a save station (ss4). Save if you wish and then continue through the door. o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Note: “Ship Shape” achievement/trophy. We will now have to fight a gunship. If you can take it down within 30 seconds you will earn the achievement/trophy “Ship Shape”. o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o This is actually quite easy as you will only need to hit it a couple of times with explosive canisters. As you enter the area, you will be safely behind a barricade of crates and this will conveniently provide cover from the hail of bullets the gunship will throw at you. Grab an explosive canister with kinesis, wait for the gunfire to stop and then step out and launch the canister at the gunship. There are three canisters lying about – one just in front of you as you exit the door, a second in a dispenser on the left hand wall and a third sitting in front of the crates. Once the gunship has departed, continue up the nearby ramp and activate the blue panel to complete the chapter. You will also earn the achievement/trophy “The Betrayal”. =============================================================================== Chapter 2: Sacrifice [SEV-02] =============================================================================== As soon as you regain control of Gabe you will be standing just outside of the hospital where Isaac began his adventure. Venture forward and as you reach the far wall a super slasher will attack from the left and a super spitter will emerge from a vent on the right. Once they are dead, a brute will burst through the door in the middle of the back wall and as you set about killing it, watch out as crawlers will start coming out of the door it just opened for them. After everything is dead, loot the room and don’t forget to stomp the brute for a ruby semiconductor. Enter the unlocked door and into a zero oxygen zone. In front of you is a pair of laser mines, use kinesis to grab one of the bodies floating in the distance and drag it through the mines to safely set them off. As you round the corner, you will see a third laser mine, leave this one alone – a super slasher will drop from the vent behind it and run into it. Finish off the baddie and enter the door behind it. As you enter, there will be a shop on your right. Hug the left hand wall and follow it all the way around until you find a box on the wall containing a power node (4). Use the shop, the bench and the save station (ss5) if you so wish before continuing through the unlocked door. Make your way to the right here and through the next door. Turn to the right into the hallway and you will see a slasher ahead pulling a body in the distance. Make your way up to where you saw it and look to the right; it will attack you from behind the reception counter with the red balloons, so kill it. Ignore the elevator for the minute and check out the room opposite the entrance for a power node (5). Upon returning to the larger room you will need to watch out for a super spitter that will be jumping down from the ceiling behind the red balloon desk and also for a slasher who has materialised near the elevator. When they are both dead step into the elevator and ride it down to the next area. Turn left into the large room with the necromorph growth in the centre. Stay close to the wall next to the door you entered from. You will see four slashers lying on infirmary beds in the room in front of you. They are all playing dead. Shoot the closest one and the rest will jump up and run at you. Use stasis if need be, and watch out for the super slasher who will drop out of the necromorph growth near the door. Once the room is clear look on the wall opposite the entrance and you will find a power node (6). Shoot the cyst in the doorway next to the power node and those in the hallway before proceeding to the next area. Use the blue panel here to open the security gate and continue through the room to the other side. Use the door here and after the necromorphs in the distance run out of view, head over and save your game at save station (ss6) if you wish. Then cruise on over and around the corner after the necromorphs. Enter the unlocked door here. As you walk inside you will immediately be attacked by a group of pack children. Hold your ground and use stasis to make things a bit easier. After the attack has been successfully defended, move forward a little bit and several more pack children will attack, return to the previous defendable area and take them down. Enter the next room and run to the far wall, another group of pack children will attack, so turn around. The benches in the centre of the room should create a nice bottleneck for you to take them out one at a time. When they are all gone, follow your suit locator up the nearby ramp and at the top you will see more of those pesky laser mines, as before use kinesis to drag something through them to detonate them safely. After you have detonated the first one, enter the room and defend yourself against a leaper who will come over the wall to the right. Once it is dead, ignore the other mines for now and run to the opposite side of the room and down an identical ramp to the one we just came up to find a power node (7). Return to the top floor and deal with the rest of the mines here. Enter the unlocked door. If you use your suit locator as you proceed down the hallway here, it will want you to turn left. The room on the right has some ammo and a slasher playing dead on the floor if you are interested. Continue into the doorway suggested by your suit locator. Make your way through the rooms and kill the necromorph spiders when they attack. When you exit back into the main hallways you will head forward and reach an intersection. As you arrive, a necromorph will drop down from the ceiling behind you and will soon be joined by a pair of slashers and an exploder. Kill them all and check your suit locator again. It wants you to head right at the intersection, if you continue straight through into the next room and enter the open door to the right for a store and a bench if you need them (you will also be attacked by a divider and a slasher on the way out if you use them). If you don’t need either continue down the intersection to the right. Follow the hallway into the next reception area, look under the aquarium on the right side of the room for a power node (8) and then enter the unlocked door opposite. As the door opens, a pregnant necromorph will be in front of you, fire low to kill it without releasing swarmers and then stomp the corpse for some ammo. Utilise the save station (ss6) if you would like to do so and then continue through the unlocked door. Mosey on through the next door. You will now be back in the area where Isaac first acquired his plasma cutter in the Dead Space 2 campaign. Continue around the beds until you reach the door to the central room – here you will be attacked by a legless spitter and a super spitter. Kill them both and explore the central room if you wish to grab a med kit (and get attacked by another super spitter) or continue onwards , through the door along the hallway and back out into an open area. Work your way down the ramps and up the other side. There is a super slasher playing dead up the ramp in the far corner if you are interested. And if not, continue into the elevator and hit the button to take it down to the next zone. Exit the lift and follow the glass panel around to the right. As you enter the circular room a super slasher will come in from the opposite side, and a super spitter will attack from behind. Killing them will cause another super spitter to drop out of the vents near where you entered the room and a second super spitter will appear where the first super slasher came from. Once they have been dealt with enter the unlocked door and take the elevator down to the next level. Leave the elevator, go through the door and follow the hallway to the end. In the next room you will be attacked by a legless spitter, so take it out. Kill it and open the next door. o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Note: “Peng Me Again” trophy achievement – find the Peng treasure again! Look at your suit locator; it wants you to head left. Ignore it for now and continue straight down the hallway around the corner you will find an unlocked door, continue inside. Make your way to the far end of the shower room here and kill the pregnant that emerges from the side area. Once it is down, check out the room where it came from to find the Peng Treasure. Pick it up for the achievement/trophy “Peng me Again”. o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Backtrack to the previous area, killing the two super slayers and the pregnant that ambush you in the shower room on the way out and enter the room the suit locator wants us to. As we enter, a super leaper and an exploder will enter from the door on the far side of the area. Kill them, and then look back to the door we just entered from, you will see another leaper and exploder enter from here. Once they are dead, return your attention to the far side of the room and take out the spitter that appears here. Once the lot of them have been dealt with, continue through the far door and enter the nearby elevator. After exiting the elevator continue into the next room to find a save station (ss7), use it if you wish before grabbing either the chair or the body with kinesis and continuing through the door. Use whatever object you brought with you to get rid of the laser mines and enter the door at the end of the corridor. In the next room, move over to the glass on the left hand side of the room for a quick story scene. Afterwards, head through the unlocked door on the far side of the room. Turn to the right and make for the ramp, as you do a slasher will jump out of a vent behind you. Kill him and continue down the ramp. Again at the bottom of the ramp another slasher will come at you from behind, eliminate it and continue into the next large room. Here you will be attacked by a large number of pack children, so retreat to the previous room and shoot them as they funnel through the doorway. After they stop coming, continue through the area, down the hallway and into the unlocked door on the left. At the end of the corridor you will find a save station (ss8) use it if you wish and then head through the door. Kill the divider here and then follow the baddies through the door to the right. Here you will find a bench and a store, this is your last opportunity to do shopping and upgrade so stock up on plenty of ammo and upgrade if you need to do so. Proceed through the next door. As you enter, run to the left immediately and stick yourself in the niche in the wall here, turn around and face the entrance. You are now in a room with 6-7 super stalkers and by assuming this position they will have to take a fairly long and straightforward path to reach you. Use stasis, explosives or just your standard weapon to take them all out. Continue towards the left hand corner of the far wall opposite where you entered and you will be ambushed by a small group of pack children, get rid of them and proceed onwards to the back wall. Here another pair of stalkers will attack you. Kill them and then hit the blue panel on the wall to grab an energy core. If you look to the right you should be able to see through the rack a damaged power cell, carry the brand spanking new one over there, killing the two groups of pack children as you go and replace the faulty power cell. Enter the door. After a quick scene, you will be set upon by a pair of slashers and a pair of infectors. Fight them off. Loot the room of ammo and health packs and then when you are ready, hack the terminal in front of the shuttle. After the button mashing sequence you will be unable to move. To finish this section, look to the far wall, there are four purple fuses we can shoot to open the shuttle bay doors. You will need to hit all four of those to complete the chapter. o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o >> INFO: Note: “Remember the Alamo” achievement/trophy However before we do that, there is an achievement/trophy available for killing 16 necromorphs before releasing the door. The necromorphs will come from in front and to the left and right and consist of slashers and the occasional exploder, it shouldn’t take long and once you have killed enough, the achievement/trophy “Remember the Alamo” will be yours. o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Hit the fuses to open the door and complete the chapter and the DLC. For completing the chapter you will unlock the achievement/trophy “The Sacrifice” and if you went ahead and beat it on Zealot difficulty you will unlock “The Veteran”. =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **************************** ******************************** *** ACHIEVEMENTS/TROPHIES *** [ACTR] ******************************** **************************** =============================================================================== Story Achievements/Trophies =============================================================================== There are 3 story related achievements/trophies and as long as you complete the main storyline you can not miss any of these.
