===============================================================================
Welcome to my Dead Space guide, fellow horror fan. - Berserker
===============================================================================
The crew aboard the Kellion shuttle has just been dispatched to investigate a
blackout and lack of communication aboard the USG Ishimura. After making a
crash landing on the ship due to a guidance tether malfunction aboard the
Ishimura, the crew, along with engineer Isaac Clarke, set out to investigate
the vessel and seek repair for their damaged shuttle. What they find aboard
the shuttle places them in a fight for survival against hordes of alien
creatures known as "necromorphs". Before long, the crew becomes stranded
aboard the USG Ishimura.
- - There's no help coming. - -
With an incredibly creepy atmosphere and RE4-style gameplay, EA has graced
horror fans with a fantastic horror experience set in space. Dead Space
emphasizes the removal of limbs through "strategic dismemberment" in order to
defeat an enemy. Going directly for an enemy's head won't exactly finish it
this time because it may continue to slash violently toward your direction.
Dead Space wants you to completely strip your enemies down to the torso in
order to finish them.
If you've read any of the my survival horror guides then you'll know that
horror is my favorite genre in gaming and therefore it will receive as detailed
of a coverage as I can deliver. In this guide, the basics section provides
information that one will need to survive this nightmare, the walkthrough
contains a full detailed guide that will take you through each room in the game
and point out every item therein, and the list section provides a list of
important collectibles found throughout the game along with a few of the game's
unlockables.
There's most likely no help coming for Mr. Isaac Clarke and his team, so we'll
have to grab the nearest plasma cutter and slaughter some alien lifeforms until
someone notices us. Like bread crumbs to a destination, surely someone will
see our fine trail of limbs out in space...
- - Tear them apart! - -
SPECIAL NOTE: Throughout this guide, whenever I list a button tap, I will
always have one button in parentheses. The button outside the parentheses
refers to the PS3 button command while the button in parentheses refers to the
Xbox 360 command.
Tap X (or A)

DEAD SPACE WALLPAPERS: The following url has some links to a few Dead Space
wallpapers that I have found around the net if you're interested.

ONE MORE THING: Be sure to check out the other Dead Space guides on GameFAQs
for some extra strategies. I personally recommend looking at Deuce ex Defcon's
guide:

===============================
Information about Special Armor
===============================
If you have a broadband connection and a PlayStation Network account or Xbox
LIVE account, a special armor for each console may be downloaded for free (for
now) from the PlayStation store and Xbox LIVE marketplace. These provide
upgraded armor and a total of 25 inventory slots. There are also a few other
armors and weapons skins that are available for purchase through both stores.
===============
Saving the Game
===============
The game may be saved at Save Stations found on the walls of the ship
throughout the game. Find rectangular metal boxes on the wall that sticks out
a bit from the rest of the wall and have a white holographic image in front of
them. Be sure to keep about two or three separate save files.
=======
Running
=======
Hold down L2 (or LT) while moving to run. Isaac can run in ANY direction,
whether that is forward, sidestepping to either side or moving backward. One
should ALWAYS keep in mind that Isaac can actually dash while moving backward
since this is not all that common in a third person action game. This kind of
technique might just save your throat one day, along with your leg, arm, and
many other vital appendages that you surely don't want to lose.
======
Stores
======
Stores look much like an ATM machine with a blue screen on them marked "Store".
Various items may be bought from a Store including weapons and other materials.
Some items require Schematics in order to make them available for purchase.
Isaac can access his full inventory while at the Store and place it into the
Store's safe. The safe allows him to place an infinite number of items for
safekeeping and these items may be retrieved at any time from any Store safe.
----------
Schematics
----------
Schematics may be collected throughout the various areas of the game and they
are automatically used upon your next arrival at a Store. Until then, they
remain in your inventory filling one slot of inventory space. For a certain
price, they will provide Isaac with whatever item is listed on the Schematic.
Most weapons, items and all ammo are unlockable only through a schematic.
--------------
Semiconductors
--------------
Any semiconductor items found in the game (Gold, Ruby, etc) can be sold to a
Store for a certain amount of credits. Being sold to a Store is the only
purpose that these items have, so be sure to sell them once they have been
collected, otherwise they simply take up valuable inventory space.
===============
Upgrade Benches
===============
Upgrade Benches are basically workstations (with "Bench" marked below them)
that will fold out upon interacting with them. Through the use of Power Nodes,
Isaac's current gear stats for weapons, abilities and his RIG (suit) can be
upgraded. The display for each gear lists several small circles (slots) - some
consisting of colors while others are blank. Power Nodes placed in colored
slots will give the corresponding equipment whatever upgrade is listed. Blank
slots will not give any sort of upgrade. In order to place a Power Node into a
slot, it must connect to a slot where a Power Node already lies, which means
that you will have to place Power Nodes into blank slots in order to place
another Power Node in an upgrade slot at times.
-----------
Power Nodes
-----------
Power Nodes are sometimes found around the various areas of the game, usually
lying in blue containers and they may also be bought from a Store for a total
of 10,000 credits each. Power Nodes allow Isaac to upgrade his gear at an
Upgrade Bench.
=====================
Vacuums (Hull Breach)
=====================
Vacuums are parts of the ship that are free of air. Either a portion of the
ship has been breached and left uncontained, the area is simply outside of the
ship or all the air has been sucked out of the area through other means.
Whenever Isaac enters a vacuum area, he must breathe through an oxygen tank.
The tank's oxygen amount will appear on the back of his suit whenever he steps
into a vacuum. Isaac already comes equipped with an oxygen tank from the
beginning of the game.
Get through the vacuum area quickly to avoid running out of oxygen. Isaac will
begin to take shorter breaths as his oxygen supply runs out and the gauge on
the back of his suit will turn red to warn you of his impending fate. Exiting
a vacuum and reentering to an area with air will fully replenish Isaac's oxygen
level. Air can items and oxygen recharger stations can also be used to refill
Isaac's oxygen gauge. If all of Isaac's oxygen runs out then he is
automatically killed. Isaac's oxygen tank may be upgraded by placing Power
Nodes on his RIG to upgrade his "Air" attribute on the suit.
Vacuums are basically silent except for really loud impacts. Isaac's weapon
and the slight thump of footsteps are about all that can be heard in a vacuum.
Enemies sometimes roam vacuum areas and they can easily get the drop on Isaac
thanks to the near complete silence, so always be aware of your surroundings
while in these airless portions of the ship. Vacuums are sometimes free of
gravity (zero gravity).
============
Zero Gravity
============
Zero gravity rooms are completely free of gravity and Isaac is free to move
just about anywhere while in these type of rooms. Zero gravity rooms usually
contain oxygen but they are sometimes in airless (a vacuum). Isaac's magnetic
boots will automatically turn on in these rooms to keep him attached to the
floor. Objects that are not attached to the floor will float in mid-air - even
enemies. Enemies can attack from a variety of directions while a room is in
zero gravity.
Isaac can walk on walls and ceilings while in zero gravity rooms. Aim with L1
(or LT) then target an area and press the /\ (or Y) button to make Isaac jump
to the targeted area. If Isaac cannot jump to an area then the ammo display on
the currently equipped weapon will flash red.
=========
Abilities
=========
------
Stasis
------
Once the Stasis module has been obtained in Chapter 1, it can be used by
holding down L1 (or LT) then tapping [] (or X). Stasis will slow down any
object that it hits dramatically. It can be shot at enemies to slow them
down to a crawl and leave them wide open to an attack making precision aiming
extremely easy. Stasis can also be used against certain objects to slow them
down in order to accomplish a certain objective or stasis can be used to
simply move by a hazardous object.
Isaac's stasis energy is showcased in the half circle on the right portion of
his back. The light blue color that appears in the half circle is the
remaining amount of stasis energy. The energy will turn red when stasis
energy is extremely low. Recharge stasis by using stasis packs or by
interacting with stasis recharger stations found around the ship. Upgrade
stasis at Upgrade benches to lower the amount of energy that is used and also
prolong its effect.
-------
Kinesis
-------
Once the kinesis module has been obtained at the beginning of Chapter 2, hold
the L1 (or LT) button then tap the O (or B) button to make Isaac shoot a
transparent energy beam forward to grapple an object. Many inanimate objects
such as crates, fan blades, explosive canisters and other types of
environmental objects can be grappled. Press the R1 (or RT) button while
holding an object to shoot the object forward. At any time, an object can be
dropped by letting go of the L1 (or LT) button.
When an object lies in Isaac's path, Isaac may have the option of moving it
with kinesis. Kinesis can be used to pick up dead enemies and dead enemy
appendages as well. Kinesis can also be used to bring items to Isaac. Some
items can only be obtained through the use of kinesis. Target far away
objects and shoot them with kinesis then press X (or A) to collect them.
Kinesis really shines in zero gravity areas since just about any object on
the screen is weightless allowing Isaac to grapple bigger than normal
objects.
All objects tossed with kinesis can damage enemies. Some objects such as fan
blades or saws can cut appendages off an enemy when shot toward them.
Upgrade kinesis at an Upgrade Bench to increase the distance that an object
can be grappled from.
--------------------------
Zero-G (Zero Gravity) Jump
--------------------------
Isaac's gravity boots will automatically magnetize him to floors in zero
gravity rooms, and he can jump to a different section of a zero gravity room
by holding the L1 (or LT) button then tapping the /\ (or Y) button. Isaac
can jump to walls and ceilings while in an area with zero gravity by using
this zero-g jump. If an area cannot be jumped to, Isaac's ammo display on
his gun will flash red. Isaac begins the game with his gravity boots but
they are only magnetized when he enters a zero gravity area.
=======
Weapons
=======
-------------
Plasma Cutter
-------------
-- Primary Fire: Accurate, long rang energy blast
A single straight line of energy is fired either vertically or horizontally
depending on how the front portion of the gun is set through secondary fire.
-- Secondary Fire: Blade orientation changes 90 degrees, either vertical or
horizontal (default is always vertical)
The front of the guns swivels between vertical and horizontal angles. The
default placement is always vertical.
Ammo per pickup: 6
Ammo per inventory slot: 25
Strengths
+ Accurate, especially with the rotation of the front portion through secondary
fire, which can help for aiming at different types of appendages on enemies
+ Precise aiming can cut off appendages from average enemies easily
+ Good long range or short range weapon
+ Ammo is usually common
Weaknesses
- Requires precision to be useful against stronger enemies
--------
Line Gun
--------
-- Primary Fire: Wide, powerful, long range energy blast
A wide horizontal energy blast is fired. This can easily go through multiple
objects, enemies, appendages and dead bodies.
-- Secondary Fire: Timed Mine, radial damage
An energy mine is shot toward the targeted area. The mine explodes after a few
seconds damaging all objects around it.
Ammo per pickup: 2
Ammo per inventory slot: 6
Strengths
+ Intense cutting damage from primary fire can cut through multiple appendages
at once
+ Cripples enemies quickly when aimed at lower appendages
Weaknesses
- Cannot hold much ammo at once
- Secondary fire takes quite a while to take effect
-----------
Pulse Rifle
-----------
-- Primary Fire: Rapid-fire, long-range, accurate energy blast
A rapid fire blast is shot toward the targeted area. Hold the button for rapid
fire. A quick tap o the button will always fire two shots.
-- Secondary Fire: Overhead 360-degree sweep (hold the button for maximum
effect)
Isaac raises the gun up above his head as the front portion slides down and
rotates then sweeps the whole 360 degree area around him with rapid fire. This
weapon only fires toward objects that are across from Isaac and not below or
above him.
Ammo per pickup: 25
Ammo per inventory slot: 100
Strengths
+ Primary fire rapid fire
+ Accurate
+ Long range
Weaknesses
- Minimal damage per shot
- Eats up ammo fast (especially secondary fire)
------------
Flamethrower
------------
-- Primary Fire: Narrow cone, short range fire damage
The Flamethrower spews forth a short distance flame that can set an object or
enemy on fire.
-- Secondary Fire: Napalm ballistic projectile with radial damage over time
The Flamethrower shoots a long distance burst of flames that can set an object
or enemy on fire.
Ammo per pickup: 25
Ammo per inventory slot: 150
Strengths
+ Burning damage follows either type of fire for a few seconds
+ Long range secondary fire
Weaknesses
- Primary fire eats through ammo extremely quick
- Does not work in vacuums
------
Ripper
------
-- Primary Fire: Medium-range, remote-controlled circular saw-blade
A circular blade is shot out of the gun and remains suspended to an energy
extension on the gun allowing Isaac to sweep the blade around the area in front
of him. Aim for enemy appendages for the best results.
-- Secondary Fire: Single, straight shot with circular saw-blade
A circular blade is fired directly toward the targeted area.
Ammo per pickup: 4
Ammo per inventory slot: 15
Strengths
+ Intense cutting damage against targeted area of an enemy
+ Ammo is not used up very quickly with primary fire and the primary fire has
the ability to take down an enemy per shot
+ While fully upgraded, this can be a truly devastating weapon when primary
fire is used
Weakness
- Primary fire does not stagger an enemy all the time
- Secondary fire requires precision aiming to be useful
------------
Contact Beam
------------
-- Primary Fire: Very powerful build-up, single-shot energy blast
The Contact Beam gathers energy while Isaac charges the gun and then it lets
loose a beam blast that can penetrate multiple enemies.
-- Secondary Fire: Short-range, 360-degress energy blast from feet
Isaac places the front end of the Contact Beam on the floor and the gun emits a
blast that spreads like a shockwave in a circular pattern around him.
Ammo per pickup: 1
Ammo per inventory slot: 4
Strengths:
+ Major damage from charged primary fire
+ Knock-back effect that is more guaranteed than Force Gun knock-back
+ Can kill multiple enemies with one hit
+ Secondary fire can knock down surrounding groups of enemies
Weaknesses
- Slightly long wait for each charge with primary fire
- Ammo tends to crowd inventory space since only 4 units can occupy one block
---------
Force Gun
---------
-- Primary Fire: Wide cone, short-range, high-knockback/damage force blast.
The Force Gun sends out a blast of force energy that takes off quite a bit of
damage from up close and is capable of knocking down a foe and removing
multiple appendages with one shot. The wide shot allows it to shoot multiple
enemies while they are close. Don't always rely on the knockback effect of
this weapon. Against very strong enemies such as Dark Slashers, the force
blast will not always knock them down.
-- Secondary Fire: Timed/proximity grenade, radial force blast
The Force Gun fires out a force grenade that explodes upon contact or falls to
the ground and detonates within a few seconds. This works well for a group of
enemies or distant enemies. Keep in mind that the force blast from the grenade
can hit Isaac if he is too close when the grenade goes off.
Ammo per pickup: 3
Ammo per inventory slot: 15
Strengths
+ Heavy damage from close range
+ Spread damage with both types of fire
+ Knock-back effect
Weaknesses
- Short primary fire range
- Slight pause in between shots and long reload from beginning
- Knock-back is not always guaranteed against strong enemies
================
Necromorph Types
================
This portion of the basics section provides an overview of each necromorph
along with methods to finish them easily. Focusing all fire on an appendage
and then cutting off the targeted appendage always does more damage rather than
simply shooting a necromorph in its body.
-------
Slasher
-------
The most humanlike of the necromorphs, the Slasher is a mutation of a human
that has recently been infected. These necromorphs start out simple enough in
their attacks, literally standing back and allowing one to shoot them but later
in the game they become increasingly violent and there are some that will
actually spit acid and dash forward to attack. A later form has a darker look
and a much tougher overall skin layer. Some of the them will start out
crawling along the ground with no legs. The Slasher is the most common of all
necromorphs.
-- Main Appendages
Head
Left Arm
Right Arm
Left Leg
Right Leg
-- Recommended Weapon
Plasma Cutter - Aim for each appendage and shoot the appendage until it flies
off. It is best to aim for the legs first.
Line Gun - Aim for the legs and fire to make the Slasher fall. Aim for its
head and fire to possibly cut off its head and both arms. This gun works
extremely well for multiple Slashers and Dark Slashers. With good aiming, you
can also aim directly upwards toward their neck and shoot them to cut off their
head and both arms.
Pulse Rifle - Fire rapidly at each appendage until it falls off. The Pulse
Rifle is good for spamming multiple Slashers with damage in an effort to keep
them at bay.
Really any weapon can work well against these enemies, but as they get tougher
later in the game, the Line Gun and Plasma Cutter become much more important
for crippling them.
------
Lurker
------
Lurkers are infants that have been infected. They are quite agile and can move
along walls and ceilings. They usually dash throughout an area until they
suddenly stop and allow their three tentacle-like appendages to rise out of
their back, which signals that they are about to perform some type of attack.
Their tentacle appendages are their main three appendages so wait for them to
attack and then shoot off each tentacle appendage to damage them greatly.
Their main form of attack is to shoot a projectile from each appendage while
they are at a distance but whenever they stick out their tentacles to attack
from up close then they will try to grab Isaac. Mash the X (or A) button to
break free from this grapple and Isaac will throw the Lurker to the floor and
kick it, killing it instantly.
Lurkers have a dark form later in the game that has a much greater defense,
much like Dark Slashers. The same methods still apply for defeating them
however.
-- Main Appendages
A Lurker's Appendages are showcased right before it performs its projectile
attack. Three appendages protrude from its back.
Left Tentacle
Middle Tentacle
Right Tentacle
-- Recommended Weapons
Flamethrower - Fire a flame burst secondary fire blast at a Lurker whenever it
stops to attack and allow the shot to burn it and its appendages. Lurkers
usually fall really fast to flames. The burning damage of the flames will make
them stagger in place until the flame starts to die down, so simply shoot it
with another flame burst before the first extinguishes - don't shoot too
quickly though.
Plasma Cutter - Wait for it to showcase its appendages then shoot off each
appendage until it is defeated.
Line Gun - Wait for it to showcase its appendages and aim for the middle
appendages while trying to keep one of the side appendages in the line of fire
then blast it to knock off more than one appendage - sometimes all three.
Force Gun - Wait for it to showcase its appendages then get close and blast it.
The Force Gun is capable of blasting off all three appendages at once. The
grenade secondary fire can usually knock off all appendages at once if timed
correctly.
-------
Stinger
-------
Besides their wide-open mouths with long teeth and tail on their back end,
Stingers look much like fallen Slashers that have lost their legs but they have
a much different setup for attack. They remain on their on the ground most of
the time and they attack with their hands and back stinger tail. Their stinger
is mainly used for close attacks, watch for them to lean their stinger tail
back. They can also perform a long-range jump and can use their arms to run
really fast toward a destination. These enemies are capable of latching onto
walls with their hands. Much like the Lurker and Slasher, Stingers also have a
dark form with much greater armor.
-- Main Appendages
Head
Left Arm
Right Arm
Stinger Tail
-- Recommended Weapons
Line Gun - Since these enemies are already crawling, one Line Gun shot aimed at
their head will most likely cut off their head and both arms with one shot,
killing them.
Plasma Cutter - Shoot off its head then both arms.
Stasis + Isaac's Boot - Shoot one with stasis while it is on the ground then
run up and stomp its head and arms off. This works very well when one is by
itself.
-----
Brute
-----
Brutes are the biggest and toughest type of normal necromorphs that Isaac will
face. They have a tough armor on their front portion but their back portion is
not covered with armor, making them vulnerable from behind. They attack from
long range by running straight toward Isaac to punch him; this punch is very
hard to sidestep if stasis is not used. Even with stasis, the punch can
sometimes hit if you're not quick enough to react. Brutes attack from close
range with short range punches. When they are at mid-distance, and more often,
when a leg is wounded, the Brute will fire out an acid pod. The acid pod can
be grappled with kinesis and shot back at the Brute.
Brutes can be damaged from their front side as well as their backside. Damage
from the front side or back side will eventually make them lean over. At that
point, Isaac is free to attack the Brute from its exposed backside and put some
serious hurt on the creature.
-- Main Appendages
Left Arm
Right Arm
Left Leg
Right Leg
-- Recommended Weapons
Contact Beam - Get in the back of it and shoot it with a few charged shots from
this weapon to damage it badly. As usual, aim for the appendages.
Flamethrower - Flame it from the back with the primary fire. This weapon takes
it down really fast if you have enough ammo to keep it active for a while. It
takes about a whole ammo gauge.
Line Gun - Get in the back of it and aim for its appendages then shoot them
with the primary fire. This weapon will cut off its legs and other appendages
within a few shots.
--------
Infector
--------
And here you thought that stomping on random dead bodies made you some kind of
evil person or something. Well, there is actually a reason to mutilate dead
corpses other than watching Isaac's pleasing stomping animation. You see,
Infectors can jump on any nearby dead body that is not mutilated and infect the
body to turn into a Dark Slasher.
Infectors have the appearance of a large bat-type creature. They hop to move
and infect their prey from their bottom side. These enemies only have one
appendage - their infecting tongue. Hitting this appendage is much easier said
than done so it is best to simply blast them anywhere when fighting one. To
actually hit the appendage on them, you have to wait until they are infecting a
host (a dead body) then shoot their infecting appendage. Whenever these
enemies jump on Isaac, mash the X (or A) button to make Isaac hammer away at
them with punches and grab them then tear off their infecting appendage to kill
them instantly.
To keep Infectors from infecting a dead body, Isaac must completely mutilate a
dead body before an Infector can use it as a host. Most appendages must be
removed by tearing the body apart (with stomps). An Infector can actually
infect a headless body; so don't stop at just removing the head.
-- Main Appendages
Infecting Tongue
-- Recommended Weapon
Force Gun - Simply wait for an Infector to try to infect a body then shoot it
with a primary fire blast from this and it will take some major damage since
its appendages is out in the open. Sometimes this can be a one shot kill.
Plasma Cutter, Pulse Rifle - Just about any weapon will work fine on these
enemies while they move about normally but the Plasma Cutter and Pulse Rifle
have better accuracy for catching these quick enemies.
------
Spider
------
Spiders always attack in groups. They are small bug-like necromorphs that jump
on their prey and bite. Tap the X (or A) button in order to shake them off.
Be forewarned that they can damage Isaac quite a bit whenever an entire group
attaches to him. It is best to defeat these enemies with a gun that has a
rapid fire or wide shot in order to take down an entire group.
-- Main Appendages
N/A
-- Recommended Weapons
Pulse Rifle - This is the better weapon to use against a group of Spiders early
in the game since it fires rapidly enough to finish off an entire group.
Contact Beam - Use the Contact Beam's secondary fire near a group and the
energy shockwave will most likely defeat the whole group.
Force Gun - Shoot a whole group from a distance with one force grenade and the
grenade will likely finish all of them. The primary fire shot from the Force
Gun is another good option for when Isaac is close to a group of Spiders.
--------
Pregnant
--------
Pregnants might as well have a "Hit me here, lol" sign on their stomach since
the stomach is the most obvious place to hit one at first, but it is also the
most dangerous. Hitting their stomach one single time will result in it
busting open to reveal a smaller enemy such as Spiders, Crawlers or Lurkers.
The smaller necromorphs will only make the battle with the Pregnant that much
harder since the Pregnant will most likely survive the stomach burst and still
be ready to fight.
Try to aim for a Pregnant's top head and arms. While other enemies are around
it may pay you to shoot off a leg to cripple it so it won't charge toward you.
Shooting off a leg has its disadvantages when fighting a Pregnant however,
since it is much easier to accidentally shoot its stomach while aiming for its
remaining front appendages while it is in its grounded state.
-- Main Appendages
Head
Left Arm
Right Arm
Left Leg
Right Leg
-- Recommended Weapons
Ripper - Aim for the head area and saw off their head and arms.
Plasma Cutter - Shoot their head then both arms.
Pulse Rifle - Shoot their head then both arms.
Contact Beam - This can do some extreme damage to a Pregnant with its primary
fire, sometimes killing it with one hit. The secondary fire works very well at
defeating a whole group of its stomach Spiders all at once also.
Force Gun - Use either type of fire with this gun to defeat Spiders that might
spawn from its stomach. Aiming directly up for a Pregnant's top appendages can
sometimes do some major damage without destroying the stomach when primary fire
is used. Aiming upwards with the force gun can be a good option when fighting
multiple Pregnants.
-------
Crawler
-------
Crawlers are basically dead human heads with small tentacle-like appendages
that helps them to move about. They are mainly fought once a Divider has
separated, but they are sometimes found in groups inside various areas of the
ship. They can move very quickly and basically only stop before they try to
jump at their prey and latch on. It is best to use a gun with a wide spread
attack in order to shoot a whole group of them and make sure that you hit one
that keeps scampering away.
-- Main Appendages
N/A (they are basically walking appendages)
-- Recommended Weapons
Force Gun - Use the primary fire to shoot a whole group of them. The wide
primary fire is sometimes good for single crawlers as well since trying to
shoot them precisely with other weapons is hard at times.
Plasma Cutter, Pulse Rifle, Flamethrower - You'll need to use precise aiming
with the Plasma Cutter and Pulse Rifle but the Flamethrower's primary fire is
good for hitting a Crawler from up close. Allow it to burn once it has been
ignited then get ready to flame it again if it survives.
--------
Exploder
--------
Exploders walk toward a foe with the most obvious of any weak point displayed
on their left arm. These enemies are ready to die but they want to take Mr.
Clarke with them or at least make a definite impact as they slap him with their
glowing appendage and die in a sort of "kthxbai" kind of way. While they are
close, they will slap you with their explosive arm to damage Isaac greatly with
their exploding blast.
Fighting these enemies in groups can be both a blessing and a curse. Hit their
explosive arm while they are near a group of enemies to defeat the whole group
or at least damage them badly. These enemies can easily get the drop on you
while a group is present however. Make sure that you listen for their screams
while fighting other enemies.
Their left explosive arm can actually be cut off if you hit the top portion
without blasting the yellow explosive portion of the arm. Once the explosive
arm falls off, it can be grappled with kinesis and tossed at an enemy much like
a red explosive canister.
-- Main Appendages
Head
Left Explosive Arm
Right Arm
Right Leg
-- Recommended Weapons
Plasma Cutter - Aim for the explosive arm. Shoot the right arm and right leg
off to stun them if they get too close.
Pulse Rifle - Aim for the explosive arm.
-------
Spawner
-------
Spawners are a type of necromorph that attach themselves to walls while encased
inside an outer layer of body tissue. Slender tentacles emerge from their
stomach and attach to the wall around them to hold themselves in place while
they shoot pods from their stomach in order to overwhelm their prey.
The pods that they shoot land on the ground and a tentacle emerges from the
center portion of the pod then attacks by shooting acid balls. These pods may
also explode while in close contact to a foe.
It is best to keep your distance from a Spawner as much as possible since they
have an instant kill decapitation move from short to mid-range. Shooting them
with a weapon that will spread across their body and damage their many
tentacles is the best method of disposal. Using kinesis to grapple and launch
a red explosive canister at them is the absolute best way to dispose of these
enemies quickly. Shooting a Spawner with stasis will stop it from spreading
tons of pods but this will NOT stop its decapitation attack - get close to it
while it is under the effect of stasis and it will still decapitate Isaac very
quickly.
A Spawner's pods can be defeated by cutting off the tentacle that protrudes
from the pod. Any type of cutting weapon or gun that does not spread works
well for finishing off a pod.
-- Main Appendages
Chest Tentacles (these spread out along the wall around it)
-- Recommended Weapons
Line Gun- Shoot the Spawner with stasis after its tentacles move out of its
stomach then fire a mine at it. The mine should be enough to immediately
finish it on just about any mode, even Impossible at times.
Force Gun - Fire at a Spawner with the Force Gun's secondary fire force grenade
and this will hit all of its tentacle appendages at once. Usually a few of
these must be used to defeat one but every now and then one well-placed force
grenade is enough to finish them off for good. Make sure to aim toward both
sides; don't just aim toward the middle all the time.
Pulse Rifle/Plasma Cutter - Either of these weapons are a good choice for
hitting a few appendages at one time if you don't have access to either of the
guns above.
------------
Tentacle Pod
------------
Tentacle Pods are usually thrown out from Spawners although there is one room
in the game where they are simply lying around without a Spawner. These globs
of organic tissue lie on the floor then a tentacle sprouts up from the middle
of the pod and fires projectiles. If Isaac steps too close to a pod then it
will explode and damage him.
Wait for a pod to showcase its tentacle then cut off the tentacle to defeat the
pod. A pod's dying explosion animation will not damage Isaac.
-- Main Appendages
Tentacle
-- Recommended Weapons
Plasma Cutter - Wait for the pod's tentacle to move upward then shoot the
tentacle in the middle and this will usually finish it within one shot or two.
Ripper - It might be considered overkill, but the Ripper's primary fire will
slice through a tentacle like a hot knife through butter.
-------
Divider
-------
A Divider is a group of several Crawlers that have bonded together into a
human-like form. These enemies move toward Isaac incredibly fast when they
catch sight of him. A Divider will fall and split apart into Crawlers the
moment that one of its appendages has been shot off. It's best to hit them
with stasis and shoot off a leg then take out the Force Gun and blast the many
Crawlers that a Divider splits into when it separates.
Each appendage of theirs will turn into a Crawler once they fall to the ground
after having one appendage removed. After shooting a Divider with stasis, if
you're stasis is leveled up enough, you can actually aim at each individual
appendage with the Plasma Cutter and shoot it off then shoot and kill the
Crawler as it separates. This is very interesting to try and makes for a nice
little crowd pleaser when your friends are over. This can be done with any
weapon really. Keep in mind that the Divider remains whole until the body hits
the ground.
-- Main Appendages
Head
Left Arm
Right Arm
Left Leg
Right Leg
-- Recommended Weapons
Line Gun, Plasma Cutter - Shoot it with stasis then aim for a leg and cut the
leg off of a Divider and it will split into Crawlers instantly once the leg is
gone.
Contact Beam - These are not always the best option for a Divider, but the
Contact Beam is the only weapon that is guaranteed to knock a Divider down from
a distance, which can help for when one of them is charging at Isaac.
Force Gun - Whenever a Divider splits into Crawlers, quickly switch to the
Force Gun and blast all of the Crawlers at one time to finish them all off with
little effort.
--------------
Stasis Slasher
--------------
Stasis Slashers show up much later in the game. They are soldiers that were
previously aboard the USM Valor that have now been infected. Their stasis
modules have combined with their bodies, which gives them heavily increased
speed compared to that of a normal Slasher. It is almost as if they teleport
at times with how quickly they can move.
They still have all the basic appendages much like a normal Slasher but cutting
off a leg will not render them as helpless as one might think since they are
still so incredibly fast in their wounded state. It is best to hit these
enemies with stasis then slowly tear them apart limb by limb while they remain
still. The Force Gun is the absolute best weapon to use if you want to take
these enemies on without stasis since they always rush up close to Isaac, to
which Isaac can have a Force Gun blast waiting to greet them.
-- Main Appendages
Head
Left Arm
Right Arm
Left Leg
Right Leg
-- Recommended Weapons
Force Gun - The Force Gun can really tear these enemies apart especially when
they dart toward Isaac. You don't even need to use stasis when using a Force
Gun. Just aim upwards and wait for the Stasis Slasher to attack then shoot.
About three close range shots will defeat it. Sometimes one blast from the
Force Gun will kill it with one shot. The best part about using a Force Gun is
that you do not have to hit a Stasis Slasher with stasis in order for it to hit
him well.
Line Gun - Once a Stasis Slasher has been hit with stasis, it is completely
open to a blast from this weapon, which can quickly cut off either the top or
bottom appendages.
Ripper - I'd only recommend using this when the Ripper is at full power, but it
really can do some damage to these enemies if you aim for the legs then
continue to saw away at their remaining appendages while they are grounded.
--------
Tentacle
--------
Tentacles appear in one of two ways. Throughout the majority of the game, they
will suddenly appear and then grab Isaac's leg and pull him toward a hole. If
they manage to pull Isaac into the hole then he will automatically die. Later
in the game, they will appear from the bottom of pits. The tentacles that
appear from the pits attack with a ground smash whenever Isaac steps near them.
In both cases, they can be defeated by shooting the glowing middle portion of
the tentacle with any type of weapon. The Pulse Rifle works the best for both
types of Tentacles but the Plasma Cutter isn't too bad either. Standing
Tentacles that don't grab Isaac will take more hits than the Tentacles that do
grab him.
-- Main Appendages
Top portion of tentacle
-- Recommended Weapons
Force Gun - Aim at the yellow portion of the Tentacle then fire rapid blasts at
it to defeat it quickly.
Plasma Cutter - Aim for the yellow portion of the Tentacle and fire at it.
It's risky to use this weapon against the Tentacles that grab Isaac since
you'll have to defeat it within a certain amount of time before it drags Isaac
too far.

===============================================================================
The walkthrough portion was written based on my second time through the game
while playing the Xbox 360 version on normal mode (I played through the PS3
version on my first time through). If you've read a guide by me before then
you'll notice that I use symbols around a word to showcase an important item
pickup or area. Here is a description of how this works in this Dead Space
walkthrough:
--ITEM-- = denotes an item, ammo pickup, or database file
++ITEM++ = denotes a key item
!!ITEM!! = denotes a save point, store, or upgrade bench
*NOTE 1: All database files are usually received at key points throughout the
main story but a few of them are placed in text or audio logs, which are placed
in various rooms.
**NOTE 2: You might find a different item other than the one that I have listed
in some areas. Some item pickups are random. Just about all ammo pickups are
random and they are listed as such.
-- TIPS TO REMEMBER
- Keep the Plasma Cutter, Force Gun, Pulse Rifle, and either the Line Gun or
Contact Beam with you at all times and you will not have any problems getting
through this game. I would really recommend the Line Gun over the Contact
Beam but the Contact Beam is still good if you have time enough to charge it.
- Aim precisely for the limbs of your enemies and the Plasma Cutter can be the
ultimate weapon. Horizontal positioning is really the best, if you ask me.
- ALWAYS keep at least one Power Node in your inventory at all times. Isaac
will sometimes run into doors that require one Power Node in order to open
them and these Power Node rooms contain a really good assortment of items.
Don't forget that you can buy Power Nodes from the Store.
- Drop off any spare items at a Store's safe. Horde! Horde! HORDE! Sometimes
you'll need to resort to your backup reserve ammo later in the game, so try
to drop off any spare ammo that you might have early in the game.
- Be sure to use any Schematics or sell any semiconductors to the store. These
items will continue to take up valuable inventory space while they remain in
your inventory.
- Learn to fight without stasis. Stasis is good, but it's limited. You only
really need it when fighting a Brute or a pair of Spawners. Learn to only
use it when you have to and always recharge at a stasis recharger.
- Music will play whenever an enemy is around, so be sure to listen for the
music when in doubt if an enemy is in the area. During quarantines, if a
quarantine remains active, then there is still an enemy in the current area.
- Objects shot with kinesis can damage enemies, especially in the case of sharp
objects or explosive canisters. You can shoot out vents (fans) along the
ship wall or ceiling and fire the blade at your enemies using kinesis.
- Keep at least one Large or Medium Med Pack in Isaac's inventory at all times.
- MAKE MULTIPLE SAVES. At least two saves. If you're a fan of horror games,
then you should not have to be told this.

*******************************************************************************
Main Objectives:
[ ] Find the vessel USG Ishimura
[ ] Diagnose and repair communication blackout
*******************************************************************************
EXTRA NOTE: Use the right analog (thumbstick) during the opening cutscene to
move the camera slightly.
EXTRA NOTE: Right after the Kellion shuttle lands in the Ishimura, the camera
can be fully rotate around Isaac Clarke in order to view his face - this is one
of two times in the game where his true face may be seen.
== Hangar Bay ==
Objective Added:
[ ] Follow the Security Team
The Ishimura looks like it's in bad shape, and our shuttle is going to need
extensive repairs. Where the hell is the flight crew?
The --MESSAGE FROM NICOLE-- database file is now added to the Database menu
under the Chapter 1 tab as the game starts. To examine your database, pull up
the inventory menu by pressing /\ (or Y) then press either L2 or R2 (LB or RB)
to cycle through the menu until you reach the Database.
Turn around and move the opposite way and the --MOVEMENT TRAINING-- tutorial
will be added under the Training portion of the Database. All tutorials, audio
logs and text logs will be displayed in a hologram to Isaac's right as he
receives them, picks them up or views them again.
Use the left analog (thumbstick) to move Isaac and use the right analog
(thumbstick) to move the camera. Isaac can sidestep by holding to the right or
left and he will turn while moving and holding the right analog (thumbstick) to
the right or left. The blue segmented glow on the back of Isaac's RIG (suit)
is his life bar and it is, ever so conveniently, always in view, so you don't
have to open a menu to see it.
Before walking out of the shuttle, make a left and enter the room off to the
side and pick up the --SMALL MED PACK-- from off the floor to the right. Exit
the ship.

Kendra will be surveying the damage of the shuttle outside. Move along the
walkway to the north. The --ACTION BUTTON TRAINING TUTORIAL-- will appear as
Isaac walks to the door up ahead. Basically, X (or A) will interact with a
door and open it. A bluish-white glow will be displayed over a locked door
while a red glow will be displayed over a locked door. Some red doors can be
unlocked with the proper item. As Isaac meets up with the rest of his crew up
ahead, the first objective will be accomplished and a new objective will
appear.
Objective Complete:
[X] Follow the Security Team
Objective Added:
[ ] Open the Hangar Door
I can use my uniform's RIG (Resource Integration Gear) to interface with
the Ishimura's holographic display system.
Before messing with the door, look off to the right to find a box with a green
light up above it. These boxes contain items and I will refer to them as item
boxes from now on. You must destroy them to get the item from inside, however
if this is your first playthrough then you can't destroy it yet; you'll need to
have a gun equipped in order to destroy an item box. If this is your second
playthrough then walk over to the box and press either the R2 (or RB) button to
break it open. Make sure Isaac's foot hits it. The box will leave behind a
random item.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] --"Action Button Training" database file--, [ ] Item Box
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Walk forward and interact with the door. Press the X (or A) button when the
"Open?" message is displayed on the front of it. Some of these doors are kind
of like doors in Metroid Prime, where the room will load as the door is in the
process of being opened, so they won't always open instantaneously and may take
a few seconds.
== Flight Lounge ==
Objective Complete:
[X] Open the Hangar Door
Alright, we can now open doors! Feel free to search over the room while your
crew scans over it.
Check the cubbies on the left side as Isaac enters and pick up the --SMALL MED
PACK-- and --RANDOM CREDITS-- from each end. There is an --ITEM BOX-- off to
the right also.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Small Med Pack, [ ] Random Credits, [ ] Item Box, [ ] Item Box

Soon a new objective will appear along with the --OBJECTIVES TRAINING--
tutorial. Press Select (or Back) to pull up the map and press the R2 or L2 (RB
or LB) buttons from the menu to cycle through your objectives if needed. There
is also this very handy and fantastic objective pointer that can be seen by
pressing and holding the R3 (or RS) button. This fine line will showcase the
way to your next objective. Basically you won't even need any help to get
there... which means I can end this walkthrough now! I'll see you again around
the time of Resident Evil 5 next yea-
Oh, I kid, I kid!
Objective Added:
[ ] Activate the Security Console
There should be a security console nearby where I can run a systems
diagnostic check.
If you move on ahead, you'll notice a white glow on the wall. This is your
first !!SAVE STATION!!, so walk over to it and interact with it to save your
game. There is an --ITEM BOX-- to the left while standing in front of it.
Open the door off to the right and move into the corridor with blood streaks.
The security console is at the end of the corridor to the right. Walk over to
the console and press X (or A) to activate it by loading the damage report.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] --"Objectives" database file--, [ ] Item Box
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective Completed:
[X] Activate the Security Console
The lights will go out in the room. That's not good. An alien creature
(Slasher) will appear in the outside room and begin to slaughter your pilot.
Damn, that's not good either. Soon one of the Slashers will bust through a
vent in the side wall on Isaac's side and attack him but thankfully, Kendra
will restore power to the room outside and the door beside Isaac will open.
Objective Added:
[ ] Get to Safety
We've been attacked! I'm cut off from Hammond and Kendra. I've got to
find somewhere safe, somewhere to hide...
Uh-oh. Haul ass through the doorway, Isaac! Hold L2 (or LB) to run while
moving!
== Hall to Lift Room ==
The --RUN!-- database file will soon appear under your Database menu for
Chapter 1 as Kendra contacts Isaac further down the hall. Whenever Isaac is
contacted over radio, the conversation will usually be recorded into a database
file, which is viewable under the database menu for each chapter.
Move down the corridor quickly. My god, they are right behind you, you better
get your ass in gear, my friend. The Slashers will fall from the ceiling and
stagger Isaac as he runs. Dash toward the elevator door at the end and
interact with it to open the elevator. It's pretty hard to get through this
entire area without getting hit on your first time through the game. Step
inside the elevator very quickly. The Slashers will not follow.
EXTRA NOTE: Don't try to go back outside the elevator. If you do, then the
Slashers will hop back down from the ceiling. It's quite hilarious how Isaac
can step back in and out and the elevator and make them appear and disappear
continuously though. Kind of like stepping to and from the base in a game of
tag.
Interact with the controls in the elevator to take it down. The elevator will
pause for a moment then a Slasher will open the door. Don't worry, he'll get
what's coming to him as the elevator doors close and the elevator heads to the
lower floor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] --"Run!" database file--
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
== Workshop ==
Step out of the elevator when the doors open. There is an --ITEM BOX-- and
another --ITEM BOX-- off to the left after Isaac steps out. Move up the steps
off to the left and take the ++PLASMA CUTTER++ from the counter near the dead
body. This is Isaac's main weapon throughout the game. The --WEAPONS
TRAINING-- along with the melee tutorials will be added to the Tutorial menu
after picking up the weapon - the "Melee Training" falls under "Weapons
Training in the database menu.
Hold the L1 (or LT) button to aim with the weapon then press R1 (or RT) for
primary fire and L2 (or LB) for secondary fire. The primary fire for this
weapon fires out an energy blade that will slice through whatever it hits.
This weapon can easily cut through an enemy's limbs or head. Secondary fire
makes the front portion of the gun rotate between vertical and horizontal -
this helps for cutting off arms or legs respectively. Tap the X (or A) button
while aiming to reload. The melee primary attack can be performed by tapping
the R1 (or RT) button while not aiming. This can be tapped twice for a
combination of two punches. I'll get to the secondary melee attack in a
moment.
There is an --ITEM CHEST-- along with another --ITEM CHEST-- to the right of
the dead body. Item Chests with a blue light can be opened by interacting
while standing in front of one. They usually contain random items. Much like
doors, the chests that carry a red light are locked.
Since you now have a weapon and there is a victim in the room, let's talk about
the secondary melee attack - the stomp attack. Walk back over to the dead
body. Dead bodies are very fun to mess around with in Dead Space, especially
if you have a sadist persona hidden deep down inside of you somewhere. See,
walk over to the dead body and tap the R2 (or RB) button. Oooo, didn't that
feel good? Isaac should have stomped off a leg or two. This is actually a
purpose to stomping these dead corpses later in the game. Feel free to
continue to mutilate the body if you want to while I get these items listed.
By the way, you can now stomp the item boxes in this room now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Walk toward the door on the front right side of this room. You've probably
been hearing a ruckus coming from the next room. Walk up to the fusebox on the
right side of the door and hit it with a melee attack by pressing R1 (or RT)
while standing near it and this will unlock the door. Isaac can perform a
total of two punches as a melee combination attack. Keep in mind that these
can be shot with Isaac's current weapon as well. Open the door.
A Slasher will attack a crew member in the next room as soon as the door is
opened. The Slasher will dash at Isaac next so step back into the room that
you're currently. Flip the Plasma Cutter horizontally with the secondary fire
then aim for the legs of the Slasher. Shoot off a leg and that should
basically kill it. Be sure to stomp on its dead body some to help toward
netting you the Marksman, Surgeon and Butcher trophies (achievements) quicker.
Yes, even stomping will count toward the unlockable!
Dismembering necromorphs is the quickest way to damage them even though it is
not exactly needed as much at the moment. It is best to learn to shoot off
limbs right now and this will help out greatly for battles later in the game.
The necromorphs aren't that strong just yet, but that will change later.
Simply shooting off a necromorph's head is not always the best option, since
they can still attack even without a head. It's really best to shoot off an
arm or leg to actually incapacitate them in some way and make it harder for
them to attack while damaging them. Shooting off a head will damage one just
like knocking off any other limb, but it doesn't limit their attacks.
== Tram Control Hallway ==
Well, looks like we were too late to save the Ishimura crew member. Time to
mutilate! Follow the hall to the north and open the door at the end.
The next portion of the hallway is very dark. The objective marker insist that
you go right, but I say we go left and pick up the --RANDOM CREDITS-- near the
debris at the end. Hey, did I just see something on the other side of that
blockade?
Backtrack to the door and take the next side of the hall. Before picking up
the --SMALL HEALTH PACK-- on the floor, you'll get the --HEALTH TRAINING--
tutorial. Basically, you can either tap the [] (or X) button during gameplay
to replenish health or choose the health item from your inventory to use it.
When tapping the required button during gameplay, the smallest health item will
always be used first.
Move further down the hall and pick up the --VENT WARNING-- database file.
This database file is presented as an audio log item - some database files must
be collected through various rooms throughout the game. A few of them are text
files. "Vent Warning" will now be added under Chapter 1 in the database menu.
Step into the Tram Control Room through the doorway at the end of the hall.

Objective Completed:
[X] Get to Safety
It seems Kendra and Hammond made it out safe. They can be seen on the walkway
through the windows. Isaac will receive the --REPAIR THE TRAM SYSTEM--
database file after Hammond and Kendra speak with him. The current objective
will also be updated and the --MAP TRAINING-- database file will be received as
well.
Objective Added:
[ ] Replace the Damaged Tram
The Ishimura looks like it's in bad shape, and our shuttle is going to need
extensive repairs. Where the hell is the flight crew?
There is an --ITEM CONTAINER-- on the right wall near where Isaac entered this
room and there are two --ITEM LOCKERS-- on the other side that can be opened.
The controls directly across from the entrance door require a data board in
order for Isaac to use the tram controls to the left of it. Be sure to save
your game at the !!SAVE STATION!! then leave the room through the door on the
opposite side.

== Cargo Hallway ==
Move into the hallway split up ahead. Down the left path you'll find an --ITEM
BOX-- in the middle and some --RANDOM AMMO-- near the middle. See that dead
Slasher in the middle of the hall? I don't trust it, so aim for its legs and
shoot to see if it- Ah, we have a live one here! Continue to work on cutting
off one of its legs as it staggers toward Isaac. All jokes aside, always be on
the lookout for necromorphs that play dead - sometimes they actually lie in
areas along with necromorphs that have already been defeated. The little
bastards...
Pick up the --MEDIUM MED PACK-- from near the Slasher then continue down the
north side of the hall and grab the --SHOOT THE LIMBS-- database file and
--RANDOM AMMO--. There is a !!SAVE STATION!! in the middle of the hall.
Return to the south side of the hall since the north side door is locked. Open
the door to the Tram Tunnel.

as well. Cut them apart Isaac! Open the door further ahead.

Pick up the --1000 CREDITS-- from off to the left. The left side is blocked,
so let's go right. Stomp the --ITEM BOX-- on the floor near the slamming door
then pick up the ++STASIS MODULE++. The --STASIS TRAINING-- database file and
--STASIS DOOR-- database file will be received after picking up the Stasis
Module.
The Stasis Module allows Isaac to slow an object considerably to the point that
it nearly freezes. Aim with your current weapon then press the [] (or X)
button to fire at the slamming door and it will slow down considerably and
allow Isaac to pass by it without receiving damage, so slow it down and pass by
it. Keep in mind that using stasis will consume stasis energy, which is
displayed on Isaac's back as the curved half-circle meter to the right of the
life meter. There is a stasis recharger down the right side of the tunnel if
you need a recharge on stasis energy.

Move on up the next hall then collect the --STASIS PACK-- from the floor.
These will recharge Isaac's stasis gauge if used from the inventory menu.
There is a !!SAVE STATION!! up ahead. The lights will go out in the tunnel
eventually, but they will come back on soon. Move down the hall to the right
and enter the restroom area on the left. Pick up the --RANDOM AMMO-- and other
--RANDOM AMMO-- from the left restroom and the --SMALL MED PACK-- from the
right restroom.
NOTE: If you look on the floor of the corridor with the locked door that leads
to the Cargo Room, there is a collection of letters that correspond to letter
in the English alphabet along with some other letter inscriptions above each
English letter. This can be used to translate the markings along the wall of
the corridor and it can be used to translate all the other markings found
throughout the rest of the game.
The words above the letters reads: "Don't believe their lies, read what their
really saying". It's much easier to recognize the text and actually translate
the inscriptions if you have an HDTV.
NOTE 2: The inscription on the left pillar in the middle of the corridor that
leads to the Cargo Room translates to "Keep us whole. Unity is forever. Death
is only the beginning." If you find the red inscription on the wall, it
translates to "Altman" which is a name referred to later in the story - "Altman
be praised".
NOTE 3: There is another set of characters such as the ones described above in
the Refrigeration East room of Chapter 6.
Exit the restroom area then grab the --3000 CREDITS-- from the end of the hall
to the left. Return to the opposite end of the hall then turn right and stomp
the --ITEM BOX-- near the locked door then move back down the hall and make a
right and then open the door to the Tram Repair Room.

== Tram Repair Room ==
The --REPLACING THE TRAM-- audio file will be received right after Isaac enters
this room and the objective will be changed slightly.
Objective Added:
[ ] Replace the Damaged Tram
A broken tram car is blocking the whole system. Looks like it got
delivered to Tram Repaid, but never got switched off the tracks.
Turn right then walk along the catwalk and then look on the right wall and find
the blue container along the wall. Open it and pick up the --POWER NODE-- from
inside. These items will allow Isaac to upgrade his weapons and equipment once
you make it to a Bench. You haven't run across a Bench yet though.
Walk over to the controls for the first claw below. Interact with the controls
to engage the first claw and it will hook onto the tram car below. The claw
will move out and lock onto the tram car and stay there. Move up the stairs.
The controls in the middle are used to activate the tram once the two claws are
connected to it, so we can't use it at the moment. Move down the set of steps
on the opposite side. A Slasher will burst through a vent on the wall below
and attack, so be prepared to blast him with the plasma cutter.
Move by the other controls for now and open the --ITEM CONTAINER-- on the wall.
A Slasher will bust through the other vent along the wall as soon as the item
container is opened. Pick up the --SMALL MED PACK-- and the --TRAM STATUS--
database file.
Walk over to the controls for the other claw. Whenever the claw is engaged, it
will latch onto the tram then eventually retract. You have to find some sort
of way to keep the claw attached to the tram long enough so that Isaac can run
up to the main controls in the middle and initiate the repair command on the
tram. Did I just see a light bulb over your head right then?
If not, activate the claw then shoot the claw with the stasis module right when
it connects. While the claw is slowed down with stasis, quickly run up to the
controls in the middle of the room then initiate repairs on the tram. If you
mess this up then there is a stasis recharger directly across from the middle
controls.

replaced and a new objective will be issued.
Objective Added:
[ ] Find the Data Board
The tram computer is offline because of a missing data board. Kendra
thinks the data board in the Maintenance Bay. Did someone deliberately try
to shut down inter-deck transport? We aren't getting far unless I get that
tram system running.
A Slasher will attack from off to the left so be ready. The --FIND THE

== Tram Control Hallway ==
A new enemy will appear in the vent overhead but it will not attack. These are
Stingers and they are really more deadly than the normal Slashers, even though
they are basically legless Slashers with tails. Isaac will run into one soon
enough. Enter the Tram Tunnel again - you'll have to use the stasis module to
slow the slamming door once again.
== Tram Tunnel ==
A Slasher and a Stinger will attack from off to the right. Stun them both with
stasis as they move toward Isaac. The Stingers attack with a sharp tail (a
stinger) from their backside while they crawl and they can move pretty fast and
also jump at Isaac, so watch them closely and try to keep them at a distance
while fighting them. Recharge your stasis at the stasis recharge before
leaving. Enter the hallway on the other side.

Objective Change
[ ] Find the Maintenance Bay Key
The data board is locked up in a storage room. The key should be somewhere
in the Maintenance Bay.
Your main objective will be changed as Isaac takes the elevator down and
receives the --LOCKED DOOR-- database file. Smash the --ITEM BOX-- off to the
right after stepping out of the elevator. A total of four Slashers will attack
in this area. The red explosive canisters in this area can be shot in an
effort to highly damage each Slasher while it stands next to one.

Move across the catwalk directly ahead and you'll come to the Bay Office
(Storage Room). The door requires the Storage Key. A Slasher will attack from
off to the right and he will be stepping near a red canister, so shoot it while
he walks toward it. Move down the catwalk area where the Slasher came from.
Off to the right there is a catwalk that leads to an --ITEM CONTAINER-- and an
--ITEM BOX--. Pick up the --RANDOM AMMO-- from in front of the elevator then
ride the elevator up to the second floor.

actually a Slasher lying in wait, so blast him with the plasma cutter to let
him know that Isaac is here.
Another Slasher will attack further ahead. Pick up the ++MAINTENACE BAY KEY++
that lies in between the --REPAIR INVOICE-- database file and a --RANDOM AMMO--
pickup.

Open the --ITEM LOCKER-- off to the right then collect the --POWER NODE-- from
the container against the far wall. As you walk toward the bench up ahead,
Isaac will receive the --UPGRADE BENCH-- database file. These upgrade benches
will allow Isaac to upgrade his current gear through the use of Power Nodes. I
would recommend upgrading either his RIG or the plasma cutter for now. The RIG
is really the most important to upgrade since upgrading it will eventually
raise Isaac's health bar. Pick up the ++DATA BOARD++ on the table to the side.

Objective Added:
[ ] Install the Data Board
Before I can operate the tram, I need to take the data board back to Tram
Control and install it.
Two Slashers will attack as Isaac leaves the Bay Office. You might want to use
stasis to pin one down. Another Slasher lies on the catwalk directly in front
of the elevator that goes back down to the Tram Control Hallway, so be sure to
surprise him with some shots from the plasma cutter. Take the elevator back
down to the Tram Control Hallway then enter the Tram Control Room. Another
Slasher will attack as the elevator doors open into the hallway - the
necromorphs know where you're headed!

board is in place. Walk over to the middle controls and interact with them to
call the outside tram.

Objective Added:
[ ] Return to the Kellion and Run Diagnostics
Hammond wants me to prep the Kellion for launch despite the damage it took
on our landing. I can probably get it functional, but I'm not sure how far
we can get in it.
Exit the room via the door on the other side of the room that leads to the
Flight Lounge - it actually goes to the elevator in the Workshop that leads up
to the Flight Lounge.
== Tram Control Hallway ==
Enter the Workshop by moving through the next few hallways.
== Workshop ==
The Workshop is really dark now, so aim with the Plasma Cutter and use Isaac's
flashlight to see. Step onto the elevator and take it up to the hall above.
== Hall to Lift Room ==
Step out of the elevator and move around the corner of the corridor up ahead.
A Slasher will walk to the left. As you walk around the left side after him,
he will begin to crawl into a vent. Don't let him crawl in there. Blast him
while he tries to crawl through or he will try to ambush Isaac further down the
hall. Another Slasher will bust through a vent behind Isaac, so knock down or
defeat the first one quickly then run into the right corridor and turn around
to take them both on.
== Flight Lounge ==
The room will light up eventually and you will receive the --ARRIVED ON BRIDGE-
- database file as Isaac moves toward the next door. Step out of the hallway
and move into the sitting area outside. Be sure to smash the item boxes in
here and the one outside if you haven't already. Open the door to the left.

If you look fast enough, you'll catch a glimpse of a Stinger moving above the
doorway further ahead. Walk outside then move back in quickly and the Stinger
will drop. Blast his head and arms off as he moves toward Isaac. You can also
shoot him with stasis and then stomp him since he by himself - this can save
you ammo for Stinger battles.
Move out to the shuttle then step inside. Walk over to the main controls and
choose to load the damage report. The diagnostics check will-
Objective Complete:
[X] Return to the Kellion and Run Diagnostics
Why you little... run out of the shuttle and step out onto the walkway! No
matter how fast Isaac runs, an explosion will always blast him out and make him
fall - he can get burned in the shuttle if you stay inside too long though.
Three Slashers and a Stinger will attack from the side of the walkway where
Isaac entered. Fight them off and the --GO TO MEDICAL-- database file will
play.

just what the hell happened.
Move to the end of the walkway, toward the Flight Lounge and step back inside
of the Flight Lounge.

The --STORE-- database file will be received as Isaac walks up to the
!!STORE!!. The store can be used to buy, sell or keep items in a safe. Your
inventory is most likely filled by now, so drop off a few items at the safe -
they can be taken back from other stores All of the credits that have been
collected so far can be used to stock up on items from here.
Above all else, be sure to buy the Level 2 suit from the store - this will give
you extra armor protection and three extra inventory slots. The Line Gun would
be another good buy. The Line Gun is much like a super Plasma Cutter that can
cut through multiple limbs very easily.
No matter which version of this game you are playing, if you downloaded the
special suit from the PlayStation store (Obsidian Suit) or the Xbox LIVE
Marketplace (Elite Suit) then you can equip it now for free by selecting it in
the store. This will give you a whopping 25 spaces of inventory! I wouldn't
download it if this if your first playthrough. The two suits really take away
from the survival experience of your first playthrough quite a bit if you ask
me.

WARNING: Once a special suit mentioned above is purchased, it cannot be removed
if the game is saved afterward. You must keep it on for the rest of the game.
It takes priority over the other suits.
Step onto the tram car when you're ready then interact with the controls
inside. These cars are used to travel in between different portions of the
Ishimura and they are almost always returned to at the end of each chapter.

Objective Added:
[ ] Retrieve the Captain's RIG
The captain's body made it down to the morgue, probably before the ship was
totally compromised. Nicole worked on this deck. Maybe I can find
something... anything showing that she's still alive.
Step out of the tram and walk toward the female crew member up ahead. There is
a !!STORE!! off to the left. The woman will hand over the ++KINESIS MODULE++
before she plummets to the floor. You can use the R2 (or RB) button while
standing over her to check for signs of life or simply to make sure that she is
dead. It appears so... or, well, now at least.
The --KINESIS MODULE-- database will be received after Isaac picks up the
module. This handy little device will allow Isaac to grapple onto objects by
aiming and pressing O (or B). Collect the --SMALL MED PACK-- from near the
body bags in the sitting area then use the kinesis module to move the metal
crates that are blocking the hall ahead. Grapple them by aiming at them then
tap O (or B) and move them toward the tram. Press the R1 (or RT) button to
launch them. The kinesis module has some really good grappling range by
default but it can also be upgraded at an Upgrade Bench.
Objects that are grappled with the kinesis module can be fired at enemies to
damage them. Normal objects don't really do that much damage but certain blade
objects that can be found around the game will actually cut off appendages.
Whenever a fan (vent) is found along the side of a wall or ceiling it can be
destroyed with weapon fire and the fan blade from inside can be picked up with
kinesis and shot at an enemy to cut off an appendage. Items can also be
grappled and brought to Isaac through the use of kinesis, which will come in
handy for a few item pickups spread throughout the game.
The --SCHEMATICS-- database file will appear as you walk toward the
--FLAMETHROWER SCHEMATIC--. Schematics are held in Isaac's inventory when they
are picked up and they will automatically be used at a Store to add the
corresponding weapon or item to the store list - there is a Store in the next
room, so you don't have to backtrack to the previous one.

attack. Put your back to a wall, preferably a corner and shoot them. You
might want to use stasis. Don't stand near the entrance door since a Slasher
will bust through the vent on the left side after the first three are defeated.

The area will still be under quarantine for the time being, which means there
is still something in here! Rush over to the lift on the far side of the room
and use the controls to take it down. A crawling Slasher will attack from off
to the right as Isaac steps off the lift. Once you move into the middle of the
room four Slashers will attack - one of them moves out of vent from near the
elevator, so watch for him if you run back there. The quarantine will be
lifted once the Slashers are finished.
Don't worry about the surrounding unlocked rooms just yet. Use the stasis
recharger on the first left column across from the elevator if needed. Run to

Walk down the hall and the lights will begin to change color. A researcher
will appear behind the glass window up ahead. Some sort of creature will kill
him from the other side. Take the --RANDOM AMMO-- from the right corner near
the window.
Yep, we have to go in that room! Walk around the left corner then open the
door to the room. It's so quiet now. Walk further into the room and a Lurker
will appear. These small enemies are actually infant necromorphs but they are
really more annoying than Slashers. The quickest way to defeat them is to
shoot their three appendages right before they attack. Shoot off a few or all
three appendages to highly damage them. The Plasma Cutter can easily defeat
them but the Line Gun can do some serious damage to multiple appendages. They
have a close range lunge and you'll have to tap the X (or A) button to escape
from it.
The Flamethrower is one of the best weapons to use against a Lurker when they
are fought in groups with no other enemies around. Wait for their tentacle
appendages to move out of their back then shoot them with the Flamethrower's
secondary fire flame burst and this will set them on fire and burn all three
appendages at once. Allow the flames to burn one of them then shoot it again
shortly before the flames extinguish.
Smash the --ITEM BOX-- after the fight then pick up the --RANDOM AMMO-- from
around the side of the right desk. Use the lift to reach the top walkway. Two

Collect the --INTERESTING RESULTS-- database file from in front of the railing
and use the !!UPGRADE BENCH!! If needed. The room to the left can be opened if
you examine the controls to the right of it and use one Power Node on it.

Move up the ramp to the right to receive the --KINESIS SYMBOL-- database file.
Basically, any object that has the blue and white overhead symbol displayed on
the big cylinder with the overhead platform up ahead can be grappled and
dragged with the kinesis module. Grapple the cylinder with the overhead
platform using your kinesis module then drag it all the way to the left, as far
as it can go. You'll need to step back down the ramp to drag it.
Run across the ramp and prepare to fight off the two Stingers that appear on
the other side. Open the door to the room along the left side of the next
area. The person on the floor will break out in convulsions then eventually
die when Isaac walks around the side of the table - Isaac has that effect on
people, I suppose. Pick up the --POWER NODE--, --RANDOM AMMO-- and the --PULSE
ROUNDS SCHEMATIC-- from inside the room. A Slasher will bust through a vent
and attack from the side near the door after some of the items are collected.
Leave the room.
Use kinesis to pick up the glowing power unit (oval shaped lit up object)
outside of the room then place it into the red glowing plug area (the hole next
to the lift) and let go of it. The power unit will not fit all the way inside,
so don't fiddle too much with it or it won't fit right. The best way to plug
these in is to simply walk toward the plug with the power unit in front of
Isaac then release it once it is just about all the way in. Take the lift to
the second floor. While still on the lift, once it has reached the second
floor, look down toward the door that leads to the room (that Isaac just exited
from) below the lift and grapple the --RANDOM AMMO-- on a small platform along
the wall up above the door by using kinesis and collect it.

Walk toward the gap up ahead. If the platform is not over the gap then use
kinesis to move it over the gap then cross it. A Stinger will move out of a
vent along the wall up ahead then a Slasher will attack from the right. Use
stasis if needed since there is a stasis recharger on the right wall up ahead.
Move around the corner then use kinesis to slide the platform over the gap
directly ahead on the other side.
Use the !!SAVE STATION!! on the left wall to save your game. Walk over to the
purple fuse box on the right side of the locked door and attack it to unlock
the door. A simple stomp will destroy it since it is low. Open the door and
continue into the next room and open the next door after that.
== Zero-G Therapy Area ==
Isaac will enter a vacuum area. These areas have no air, so Isaac's oxygen
meter will appear. The --AIR TIMER-- database file will appear once Isaac
moves ahead. Cancel it quickly since you need to get through this area fast
before the oxygen gauge is depleted. These areas have only dull sounds, so
enemies can sneak up on you easily in a vacuum area, but there are no enemies
in this particular hull breach.
When Isaac reaches the first section without wall, look off to the right and
grapple the --LINE RACKS-- floating out in space to bring them toward Isaac
then collect them. Run to the left and open the three --ITEM LOCKERS-- along
the way. While standing near the door on the other side, move against the side
without wall and look to the right past the door to see a blinking item very
far off in the distance - grapple these --10000 CREDITS-- and collect them.
Quickly get to the door on the other side and open it. Move into the room and
the door will seal off behind Isaac then oxygen will fill the room again.
Isaac's oxygen gauge will automatically recharge every time that he enters an
area with air.

Use the console to deactivate the gravity in the room. This area is your first
introduction to a zero gravity room. The --ZERO-G MOVEMENT-- database file
will be received after deactivating the gravity. Isaac can step on just about
any surface (walls and ceilings) in rooms with zero gravity. To move from one
surface to the other, hold the L1 (or LT) button to aim then move the cursor
over a desired area and tap the /\ (or Y) button to jump to that surface - this
is known as a "Zero-G jump". If Isaac can't jump to a surface then the ammo
gauge on his gun will flash red.
If you look around the room well enough, then you'll spot an --ITEM BOX--
floating in the center area along with the red explosive canisters. Use
kinesis to grab the item box then smash it against the floor by pointing it
toward the floor and firing it with R1 (or RT). Move along the walls then hop
over to the walkway on the other side. Grapple the nearby power unit then
place it into the power plug on the right wall while on the other side and this
will unlock the door on that side.

Once I've put together an explosive, I can blow up the barricade. Then I
need to make my way through the Emergency wing and find the Morgue.
Reenter the zero gravity room.
== Zero-G Therapy ==
Two Stingers will attack in this room this time. Jump off of the current
platform to gain some more space for fighting them. Grapple a red explosive
canister with kinesis and launch it at them. They like to perform a prolonged
lunge in zero gravity, so move away when you see them flying toward Isaac.
Leave the room by opening the door on the other side and stepping through then
continue to the vacuum area.
== Zero-G Therapy Area ==
This area can be a little unnerving on your first time through. A Slasher will
attack further ahead. Shoot him like you normally would. Notice how there is
practically no noise when shooting or confronting an enemy in a vacuum - it
really builds tension for these areas! Silent death! There is only one
Slasher outside, so run to the other end and open the door. Another Slasher
will attack in the next room while the vacuum is still active, so shoot him
quickly.
== Image Diagnostics Area ==
Be sure to save your game again at the save station further ahead then return
to the Security Station once again. Use kinesis to pull the platform over to
the other side when you go to cross the gap along that side. A Slasher will
bust out of the vent near the lift and a Stinger will attack once Isaac moves
down the lift. Don't be afraid to use stasis since a charger is in the next
room on the way back.
== Hallway to Imaging Diagnostics ==
A new enemy - Spiders - will attack in this hallway. Take out your pulse rifle
and shoot them while they are gathered. The flamethrower works well also. You
need some sort of weapon with a spreading ammo (Force Gun, Contact Beam) to
fight off these enemies better - sadly, you don't have this right now. If they
jump on Isaac then mash the X (or A) button to knock them off and destroy them.
They can take quite a bit of health from Isaac in groups, so don't let them get
on him when they are packed. Recharge your stasis at the stasis recharger then
return to the Security Station.

Now that Isaac is back in the Security Station, walk over to the barricade on
the other side of the room and choose to place the thermite bomb on it to
destroy it.

the left side of the room. One of the doors to the shelves along the side will
open eventually. Don't worry... yet.
Move further ahead and a new enemy will appear from behind the window in the
room up ahead. These are Infectors and they can infect any dead bodies around
them. This is why you won't to mutilate any dead bodies in areas that an
Infector will appear in, so they can't turn them into a necromorph. The
Infector will infect the captain's body then the captain will turn into a Dark
Lurker.
Objective Added:
[ ] Kill the Captain
The captain's body has been... transformed by one of those things. I've
got to take him down to get his RIG.
Dark Lurkers are a bit more powerful and aggressive when compared to the
standard Lurker, so have the Line Gun ready for him when he charges through the
glass toward Isaac. You need to finish him and immediately turn your attention
toward the Infector. The Infector will rush toward the dead body to the right
and attempt to turn it into Slasher, so you need to tear through the captain
then buckle down on the Infector with a weapon before he has a chance to infect
the dead body off to the right. The Line Gun should work just fine for both
enemies. You might want to use stasis on the Dark Lurker so you can focus on
the Infector. Infectors don't have any appendages, so there is nothing special
to aim for on their bodies.
Infectors cannot infect a dead body with only a few appendages still left on
it. And before you ask, yes, they can still infect a headless body! Even
though they stick their infecting appendages through the corpse's head, they
will actually place it into the corpse's neck if the head is missing.

Right when the door is opened to this room, a Dark Lurker will immediately dash
toward Isaac, so answer his aggression with a Line Gun or Pulse Rifle to the
face to calm him down a bit. Such anger. If you are at aiming and have a
quick response to fast enemies then a Dark Lurker can easily be taken down with
the Plasma Cutter. Aim at its legs then shoot one of them off and then fire at

Hammond's right about this one. Ships like the Ishimura use massive

A total of four Slashers will appear on the other side. Begin to blast them
while the gondola moves to the other side. The Pulse Rifle will work nicely
since there are so many. The Line Gun's secondary fire works well also but be

What you need to do here is to plug the two devices with the rotating cylinders
(generator modules) into the plugs on the bottom of the centrifuge around them.
The problem is that simply moving them with kinesis toward the plugs will not
plug them in because the cylindrical portion is moving. We need to find some
way to slow them down.
Hit the front portion of a generator module with stasis then grapple it with
kinesis while it is nearly frozen and pull it toward the plug that it faces.
The generator modules are on a railing, so simply grapple them and slide them
over to the side. The front rotating portion of the generator module must be
hit with stasis; if you hit the back then the front will keep spinning
normally. Hit each module with stasis then drag it toward the middle
centrifuge. A Stinger will attack after the first module has been connected.
Once both modules are plugged into the sides of the centrifuge then it will
have power once again.
Another Stinger will attack shortly, so look out for it. You need to jump to
the opposite side of the room across from the side where Isaac entered this
area. There is a control panel up on this side and there is a stasis recharger
on the wall along the walkway it is on as well. Rush over to the control panel
and choose to activate the centrifuge.
Objective Complete:
[X] Activate the Centrifuge
The gravity will be restored but all the air will be sucked out of the room due
the bottom floor opening. Turn around immediately and step on the lift through
the doorway then use the controls to take it down to the next floor. DON'T
RUSH OUT TO THE WALKWAY JUST YET! The centrifuge arm will make mincemeat out
of Isaac. The centrifuge arm spins in a clockwise circle around the walkway of
the floor that Isaac is on.
Wait for the arm to spin by the alcove where Isaac is standing then quickly
dash down the right walkway and get to the next alcove further ahead along the
right side. If you take the left side then Isaac will die since he will step
into some gooey organic tissue along the walkway that will stop him from moving
fast. The --CENTRIFUGE ACTIVATED-- database file will play shortly while Isaac
runs across the walkway.

Objective Added:
[ ] Manually Ignite the Engine
Hammond's right about this one. Ships like the Ishimura use massive
centrifuges to negate the pull of dismantled pieces of planet.
Undoubtedly, it's offline so I'll need to assess the problem and get it
restarted.
A Slasher will fall down from the vent on the ceiling and attack once Isaac
takes shelter in the first alcove. Run toward him to escape the centrifuge arm
then blast him. Time a run once again and dash to the right once more then
duck into the next alcove. Recharge the oxygen gauge at the oxygen recharger
on the next wall. Time a run again and move to the right. A Stinger will meet
Isaac as he runs to the next alcove. Just run into the alcove with it and
fight it off from there. Be ready to hit it with stasis after entering the
alcove.
Time a run one final time and run to the right again then get on the lift in
the next alcove and take it up. Step out onto the top walkway then open the
door off to the right.
== Centrifuge Hallway ==
Take the --RANDOM AMMO-- from off the floor then save your game at the !!SAVE
STATION!!. Arm your Pulse Rifle before stepping through the next door.
When Isaac enters the next room, a tentacle will grab him and pull him deeper
into the hallway. The tentacle will pull him toward a hole in the wall and
kill him if he doesn't damage it quickly. Take out the Pulse Rifle and shoot
the yellow portion of the tentacle a few times to slice it into. You have to
get adjusted to the aim at this part - Isaac can only aim when the tentacle
stops pulling him for a while - it only does this a few times. Watch for the
laser pointer to appear on the yellow portion while aiming then fire at it.
Try to aim precisely, especially if you are using another weapon besides the
Pulse Rifle. Aiming is the hardest part of this whole sequence since the view
is so awkward at first... and still is to me. If you don't have the Pulse
Rifle then use the Plasma Cutter.
The tentacle will break apart and let go of Isaac once it is defeated.
Continue to the other end and open the door to the left.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Random Ammo

== Decontamination ==
Go through the decontamination room and exit out to the other side. A Slasher
will attack from off to the left. Move through the next few doorways then open
the door to the elevator. The --KENDRA IS ALIVE-- database file will play
while taking the elevator back up to the Security Station.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] --"Kendra is Alive" database file--
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
== Security Station ==
Save your game! Walk over to the big door to the left of the control area and
open it.
== Fuel Storage ==
The Fuel Storage section of the ship is completely ripped apart, so you'll
enter a vacuum with zero gravity when stepping into this area. A --SMALL AIR
CAN-- will be floating up and to the right while stepping out onto the ledge
ahead. Grapple the --RANDOM AMMO-- and --ITEM BOX-- directly overhead to pull
them toward Isaac. You can run out of air easily at this part, so you might
want to go back through the door that Isaac just came through and allow it to
close off to recharge your air gauge or prepare to use an air can up ahead.
While standing on the ledge, took off to the left then look up a bit to see a
sideways walkway that Isaac can jump to. Jump to it then look up and to the
right to see a circular hole with the next door. A Stinger will attack from
the next wall sooner or later, so quickly jump over to the right wall up ahead
and fight him off.
Another Stinger will join the fight soon. Use the Line Gun to take care of
them quickly since you don't have much time before your oxygen gauge is
depleted. Find the --MEDIUM AIR CAN-- that is floating around the area next to
the door (look for a glow then grapple it with kinesis) then run into the
alcove where the door is and quickly open the door - Isaac will actually run
uphill (up the wall). Move up to the next door and the door behind Isaac will
eventually close and the room will fill up with air. Open the next door to
enter the Engine Hallway.

Walk through the doorway off to the right and pick up the --SMALL MED PACK--
from inside the room then exit the room. The gooey organic tissue on the
walkways will make Isaac walk no matter if you hold down the run button.
Continue to the other side of the catwalk. A few Spiders will move out of the
room on the other side so take out the Pulse Rifle and blast them.
Enter the room on the other side. The body inside will actually reach out for
help. You can actually stomp him while he moves! Break the --ITEM BOX-- and
open the --ITEM LOCKER-- then exit the room. Take the next lift to the bottom
floor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST

Leave the room and stand near the doors then stomp the ground on Isaac's side
and tell the Slasher on the other side, "Do not cross this footprint", then it
will stupidly walk through the slamming door and get smashed to bits while
attempting to act macho. Use stasis on the doors to stop them from slamming
then run through them.
Move down the hall ahead and grapple the red explosive canister at the end then
launch it at the group of Spiders that move toward Isaac. Defeat the Stinger
that crawls down the ramp then move to the other end of the hall. Save your
game at the !!SAVE STATION!! then open the door to the Engine Room.
== Engine Room ==
Three Slashers will attack as soon as Isaac enters the room. Take out the Line
Gun then shoot them if they start to group up or simply use the Plasma Cutter
to take them down. A new enemy, a Pregnant, will step into view after the
Slashers have been defeated. Do not ever shoot these enemies in the stomach
since they will release Spiders or some other type of enemy (later in the
game). Focus on shooting its head and arms or legs. They are not that tough
at all but when they are charging at Isaac, precision aiming can be hard.
Really any cutter type of weapons works well if you aim upwards. Making them
fall by cutting off a leg helps a good bit.
Break the --ITEM BOX-- to the left and open the --ITEM CONTAINER-- to the right
further ahead. Find the --MEDIUM MED PACK-- in the middle alcove on the left
then pick up the --POWER NODE-- from the container on the right. There is also
a --RANDOM AMMO-- pickup in the back left of this area near some big pipes and
an --ITEM CONTAINER-- across from a glowing wall light to the right of the
controls in the back of the room. Move up either ramp on the right side and
break the two --ITEM BOXES-- above.

[ ] Item Container, [ ] Item Box, [ ] Item Box, [ ] Item Box, [ ] Power Node,
[ ] Medium Med Pack, [ ] Random Ammo
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the item collecting, move over to the controls in the back of this room
and interact with them to start the engine sequence.
Now, this next part can get ugly after the engine sequence has been triggered.
Slashers and Stingers will attack Isaac from all over this area. I would
advise you to run over to the explosive canisters in the area where you got the
power node and launch the explosive canisters at the creatures while using
kinesis.
You can also group them together and use stasis then launch an explosive
canister at the group. This will get rid of a few of them quickly. Use the
Line Gun or other weapon of choice to fight the rest of them. Use stasis on
big groups then mow them down with the Line Gun, Ripper or other weapon of
choice. Picking one corner of the room and standing it while fighting these
enemies will help out a good bit as well. Once they are all defeated, the
engine will be ready for ignition, so walk back over to the controls and
activate the engine.
Objective Complete:
[X} Manually Ignite the Engine
Leave the room once the engine has been triggered. The --ENGINE FIXED--
database file will play when you step near the save station in the connecting
room.

smashed to pieces by the asteroid field surrounding the planet. I've got
to get to the Bridge and meet up with Hammond.
Step outside into the next hallway.
== Hallway to Control Room ==
Smash the --ITEM BOX-- then open the --ITEM CONTAINER-- off to the left.
Follow the hallway as it ramps upwards. The --STRANGE TRANSMISSION-- database

*******************************************************************************
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT DATABASE FILES: For this chapter, there is no way to
receive all the database files on the first playthrough.
The following files:
* Control Module Placed - reroute power in Mining Administration Room
* Systems Module Placed - reroute power in Ship Systems
* Astrogation Module Placed - reroute power in ADS Lower Hallway
These files will be received based on how Isaac reroutes the power controls for
the ADS system. For the final (or third) power control that is rerouted, Isaac
will receive the "Aim the ADS Cannon" database file instead. Basically, you
always have to forfeit one of the files listed above per playthrough.

Objective Added:
[ ] Meet Hammond on the Bridge
Hammond is waiting for me in the Captain's Nest. It's clear that Kendra
doesn't trust him. As for me, for the moment I've got no choice
When Isaac steps off the tram, --THE MARKER-- database file will be received.
There are some --ITEM CONTAINERS-- up ahead and there is a --SMALL MEDIPACK--

Objective Added:
[ ] Activate the Elevators
The elevators leading to the other sub decks of the Bridge are offline.
The controls are in the Security Room.
You need to go back up to the Atrium and turn the elevators on.
== Main Atrium ==
A necromorph that Hammon trapped earlier inside one of the right escape pods
(when he called Isaas in Chapter 3) will wake up and Hammond will shoot it out
into space when Isaac reenters this area. Move up the elevator once again and
be sure to save your game.
Move to the back of the Atrium and a Brute will break through the large door up
ahead. The --BRUTE COMBAT-- database file will be received shortly after the
Brute breaks through the door. These enemies are hard to hit from the front
side. It is best to use stasis on them and get behind them then attack. Look
for the yellowish glow along their legs and arms while facing their backsides
and shoot at their appendages. It is best to shoot of a leg first. Use the
Line Gun against these enemies for now. Brutes will always eventually fall
over after they have been damaged enough, so that is your cue to step behind
them and blast their appendages from the backside.
Shooting off a leg will limit the Brute's movement somewhat but it will still
be very aggressive. It will start a new attack while Isaac is at a distance
while it's foot is gone - it will shoot an explosive pod at Isaac from a
distance. These pods can be grappled with kinesis and tossed back at the Brute
for some good damage - this will stun them again.. A Brute can be hit from the
front side but the hit will not phase him as much as it will from the backside.
The Brute will leave behind --5000 CREDITS-- once it is defeated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] --"Brute Combat" database file--, [ ] 5000 Credits

Enter the room where the Brute exited out of after the battle. Walk over to
the controls for the elevator and turn the elevators on. Isaac will receive a
very strange and disturbing transmission on the way to the elevator controls.
A new objective will be received once the elevators are back online.
Objective Complete:
[X] Activate the Elevators
Objective Added:
[ ] Re Route ADS Power (0/3)
There are power junctions scattered around the Bridge. I can hack into
them and redistribute power to the ADS system. Then Hammond can start it
up and the ship will be protected from the asteroid bombardment.
Take the --POWER NODE-- from the nearby container on the left wall. Enter the
small room behind the control panel and smash the --ITEM BOX-- then raid the

you'll need it. When you're ready, move down the elevator across from the door
where the Brute busted through and take it down. You'll find the --CAPTAIN'S

collectibles from the --ITEM CONTAINER-- to the left and the --ITEM CHEST-- to
the right. Save your game at the !!SAVE STATION!! then move down the hall and
pick up the --CONTACT BEAM SCHEMATIC-- and move into the room up ahead. The
Contact Beam is your best weapon against a Brute and its secondary fire will
work well against Spiders that happen to burst from a Pregnant's chest. It
provides some extremely heavy damage with its primary fire that will take down
just about any enemy in one shot - it takes about three to four shots to defeat
a Brute if you shoot it in the back.

There is a Slasher lying on the ground in this room. I recommend shooting him
with stasis then running over to him and stomping his crippled ass directly
into the floor. That's just me however, you do what you want. There is a

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
== Ship Systems ==
Pick up the --RANDOM AMMO-- from off to the right after moving around the wall.
You see that glowing space in the floor up ahead? This is the type of
malfunctioning plate that Kendra warned Isaac about. Don't step on these
glowing reverse gravity plates or Isaac will be shot up to the ceiling and he
will be instantly killed.
Allow the Lurker from the other end to step onto the glowing plate and watch
what happens. The Slasher that follows will play it smart and step around the
right side of the gravity plate. You can use stasis on him then push him into
the reverse gravity plate if you'd like to. There is a trophy (achievement)
associated with pushing five enemies into the gravity plates, so be sure to try
for it since now is your best chance. Use kinesis to grapple an enemy's
dropped items away from the ceiling if they get stuck up there.
Step around the right side of the plate after dealing with the Slasher. A
Lurker will attack from off to the left. Deal with him then step around the
glowing gravity plates to the left and enter the next open area. A Slasher
will move toward your current location starting from the beginning of this
room. He might actually step onto a gravity plate and kill himself or he might
make it through them - be ready if he makes it to Isaac.
Pick up the --RANDOM AMMO-- from off to the left and move into the next
hallway. Two Lurkers will attack in the next hall. Use the stasis recharger
against the far wall if needed. Use kinesis to move the shelves blocking the
way to the next room then enter the room.
A Brute will attack in this room. He will bust through the wall in the back.
He can bust through many of the walls on the left side of the room, so stay on
the right side. Lure him around the unbreakable wall then use kinesis to stop
him and get in the back of him then shoot off his appendages with the Line Gun,
Plasma Cutter or Pulse Rifle. There are two --RANDOM AMMO-- pickups on the
left side of the room and the Brute will drop a --POWER NODE-- once he is
defeated.

Recharge your stasis back at the stasis recharger then enter the area where the
Brute charged into the area. There are electric cords flipping and waving to
the sides of this area. Pick up the --MEDIUM MED PACK-- from the left side of
the room. Shoot the electric cords with stasis while they move to the left
then quickly run over to the controls on the right side of the room and reroute
the power for this area by using the control panel in order to make the
electric cords stop moving and accomplish part of your current objective.

== Main Atrium ==
Several Stingers will be awaiting your return to the Atrium, so fight them off
with the Pulse Rifle and prepare to run to the side a lot to avoid their
lunges. Walk over to the elevator on the opposite side of the elevator shaft
and take it down to the mining area (Level 1). The --REPORT FROM KENDRA-- will
be received on the way down to the next floor.
== Hallway to Mining Administration ==
Open the --ITEM CHEST-- then save your game at the !!SAVE STATION!! in the
first room. Open the next door.
All will seem quiet in this hallway until the door on the right wall of the
corridor up ahead is eventually sucked out into space and the entire room
enters a vacuum while Isaac walks down the hall. Isaac, you damn jinx! Stand
next to the hole in the wall and use kinesis to move away the wall debris from
the hole and find the --RANDOM ITEM-- on the floor outside then use kinesis to
bring it to Isaac and collect it - equipping the Plasma Cutter makes targeting
this item much easier. Enter the Storage Room at the end of the hall.

unaware of Isaac's presence when he first enters this area. One of them drags
a body behind him. You can sneak up behind them and get the drop on them now
if you wish. I like to shoot the back with stasis and push him directly into
the nearby reverse gravity plate with weapon fire - a Force Gun works very well
for pushing them into the gravity plates if Isaac already has it.

right when Isaac reaches the windows.
Walk over to the power system controls and reroute the power for this area to
the ADS.
Objective (partially) Complete:
[X] Re Route ADS Power (2/3)
The --CONTROL MODULE PLACED-- database file will play after the power has been
rerouted. An Infector will appear in this room after the file plays. You did
smash those dead bodies in this room, didn't you? If not, then the Infector
will start using them as hosts right now. Find the Infector then kill it and

A figure will appear through the doorway ahead with a disturbing phrase before
the door seals off in front of him. Make you whole, eh? Sorry, Isaac only
separates his foes... violently.
Anyway, pick up the --TEMPLE ON THE BRIDGE-- database file from the immediate

Be sure to save your game before continuing down the hall ahead. There are two
--ITEM CONTAINERS-- on the left wall up ahead. When Isaac moves around the
corner, a Pregnant and a Dark Slasher will attack.
Don't hit the Pregnant in its stomach or it will release Spiders as its stomach
bursts open. You really want to focus on their upper half appendages (head and
arms) or the legs. The Plasma Cutter, Line Gun or any weapon that can hit them
quickly without spreading damage will work well against them. The Ripper
actually does well if you aim for their top portion. A Pregnant will fall fast
if you cut off its top appendages - it really seems to fall just as fast as a
Slasher if you hit it properly. Keep in mind that the Contact Beam's secondary
fire will quickly eliminate the Spiders that burst forth from its chest if you
happen to hit it and both weapon fires for the Force Gun work well against
Spiders thanks to its wide spread shots.
Take the --RIPPER BLADES-- from near the locked door by the controls ahead.
Walk over to the controls for the power system for this area and reroute the
power to the ADS like with all the other power systems and the --AIM THE ADS

ship is unprotected. I've got to take manual control and buy Hammond
enough time to fix it on his end.
NOTE: If you have not rerouted the power in the other areas of the ship prior
to rerouting the power here, then Isaac will receive the "Astrogation Module
Placed" database file, and you will have to reroute the power in the other
areas then come back here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
== ADS Outside Access ==
Isaac will enter a vacuum area with zero gravity. You'll have to go through
this area quickly since it is a rather large sprint to the next door on the
other side.
A shower of asteroids will fly by every now and then and you must step behind
the metal barricades to avoid them. Whenever you see a particle effect
starting, be sure to get behind a metal barricade. If you don't take shelter
behind one when the asteroid shower has started then Isaac will get smashed to
pieces due to the incoming asteroids. You can zero-g jump in this area. Isaac
can jump to the walkway ahead or he can leap up onto the walls. The walls have
some small barricades to take cover behind as well.
Stand behind a barricade and wait for the asteroid shower to stop then quickly
dash forward past the next barricade and take cover behind the second barricade
further ahead after passing by the first. You'll have just enough time to make
it past one full barricade and get to another before the shower starts again.
Depending on your air gauge, you might have to use an air can out here - don't
be afraid to use it! Run straight to the door on the other side and open it
quickly then step inside.
When taking cover from an asteroid shower, be sure to wait a few seconds AFTER
the particle effects diminish on the screen since there are sometimes some
stray asteroids a few seconds after a shower that can hit and kill Isaac if you
move out too quickly. Do not rush or you'll get hit by a slower asteroid
attempting to catch up with its flock. Simply use an air can if you must!
TIP: If you jump to the right wall and run along it, Isaac will pass by two
oxygen rechargers along the barricades while moving ahead. If you jump to the
left wall, Isaac will pass by one oxygen recharger.
== ADS Controls ==
Collect the --RUBY SEMICONDUCTOR-- from the floor and smash the --ITEM BOX--
off to the right. Be sure to save your game at the !!SAVE STATION!! on the
left wall.
Approach the controls for the cannon and interact with them to trigger a
shooter minigame. Isaac must defend the Ishimura from incoming asteroids
during this minigame. The ship's health is displayed in the upper right hand
corner of the screen. Any asteroid impact will damage the ship a bit. If the
ship's health gauge is brought down to zero then the game is over. The ship's
health gauge starts at 85% shield strength.
Here are the controls:
R1 (or RT) = fire right cannon
L1 (or LT) = fire left cannon
Right Analog (Right Stick) = aim cannon
The asteroids can sometimes be hard to hit but you don't want to shoot too
often or the cannon will overheat. Any asteroid that passes by the window will
hit the ship. You mainly want to focus on groups of asteroids instead of
single asteroids. Big asteroids will damage the ship badly, so you want to be
sure to shoot the bigger ones above all else - they will break apart into
smaller asteroids so be ready to shoot the smaller pieces as well.
This minigame can get pretty intense, so remain focused and take a break if it
becomes frustrating. Having to aim with the right analog is the main
frustrating part that got to me at first. You might want to try placing your
thumb over the right analog (right stick) to help out, though this makes it
harder to hit R1 (or RT) for me. Don't even look at the health gauge most of
the time, one look toward it is all it takes to get distracted from the
incoming asteroids. When Hammond says, "I've almost got this thing fixed, just
a little bit longer" then the time limit for defending the ship is almost over.
If you can manage to keep 50% of the shield's strength still intact, then you
will receive the "Don't get cocky, kid" trophy (achievement).
TIPS (for maintaining 50% of the shield):
01) Understand that most of the time, you are at the game's mercy for asteroid
placement. Sometimes asteroids will come at the ship with completely
unforgiving speed and patterns. Some patterns are easier than others.
02) At the beginning, start shooting the asteroids as early as possible. Watch
for any movement then aim and shoot. Always do this whenever asteroids first
appear if there are not any nearby.
03) When firing, either go for a single shot or hold down on both shoulder
buttons. You can actually sweep through an entire group while holding down on
both shoulder buttons.
04) Overheating is not the end of the world if it happens when asteroids are
not nearby. Keep aiming at the closest approaching asteroid so you can blast
it the second that the cannon cools down.
05) Try not to aim all the way up, down, right or left since you'll likely
allow asteroids to creep up on you while doing this - the cannon will block a
portion of the outside area while aiming like this.
06) Big asteroids and fast asteroids are the main priority. Hold down on both
shoulder buttons while aiming at a big asteroid to destroy it along with the
little asteroids that it breaks into.
07) If you see a single asteroid on one side and a group of asteroids on the
other side, turn your attention toward the group of asteroids.
08) When an asteroid is extremely close, and you are not aiming at any current
asteroids, quickly move the cannon in its direction and hold both shoulder
buttons to hopefully blast it. This can sometimes save you from a big
asteroid.
09) If an asteroid is extremely close to any side then don't aim at it unless
it is near a group of asteroids or there is no nearby approaching asteroids to
shoot. Side asteroids sometimes don't hit or they do very little damage.
10) Do not look at the shield gauge strength. Once again, DO NOT LOOK AT THE
SHIELD GAUGE STRENGTH or this distraction will cost you greatly! Listen for
the words that tell you that the hull integrity is below 50% then look. There
might be a slight chance that it is at 50%, so you might still be just barely
hanging on.
11) Make the save file at the save station beside the cannon is your first save
file, so you can reload quicker. If your gauge ever gets below 50% then quite
your current game and reload your nearby save immediately.
12) If you start to get frustrated, keep this current save on your list of
files and move on with the rest of the game for a while then simply reload this
game later when you cool down. You need to be completely focused (in the zone)
to earn this accomplishment and not ready to throw a controller.
13) At the beginning, fire a shot directly toward the middle of the screen and
the light from the shot will reflect off of some of the distant asteroids to
let you know where they are.
14) Enter the options menu and turn the brightness all the way up and this will
make it easier to see the asteroids against the dark background.
The --HURRY UP!--, --ALMOST FIXED-- and --ONE MORE MINUTE-- database files will
play during the shooter minigame and the --ADS ONLINE-- database file will play
once the minigame is completed. The ADS cannon autotarget will take over and
show Isaac and us fellow gamers how it's done with the autotargeting's
incredible accuracy.

[ ] Go to the Tram Station
The ADS is now fully operational. It should protect us from any asteroid
collisions. Looks like we've bought ourselves some time.
Save your game again then step back outside.
== ADS Outside Access ==
Two Stingers will attack along the way back to the ADS Hallway up ahead. You
don't have to worry about asteroids this time so you can fight them without
fear of getting splattered. You could simply run by them if oxygen is a major
factor with your current RIG. Open the door at the other end to exit the
vacuum then enter the hallway.

== ADS Lower Hall ==
Go through the door directly ahead then move down the hall to the right and
take the elevator back down to level 2 - the Main Atrium. Crawlers will attack
from the room that the elevator is in. These enemies can easily be taken down
with a few blasts from the Flamethrower or Force Gun - the primary fire works
well for either. Barely tap the button enough to ignite one with the
Flamethrower then let it burn and repeat. The Force Gun is good for shooting a
group of them. They are not much of a problem really - targeting them is the
main problem. The Pulse Rifle will work just as well as the Force Gun and
Flamethrower. These enemies don't have appendages - they are basically walking
appendages (heads).
== Main Atrium ==
You look as if you are expecting something big to happen here in the Main
Atrium. Don't worry, it's not, so continue to the hallway in the very back of
this area.
== Atrium Hallway ==
Oh, but something will happen here. Once Isaac moves down the hall in front of
the Store, a Slasher (the spitter kind) will attack from the hall ahead then
another Slasher spitter will attack from behind. Quickly cripple the one up
ahead by shooting off its leg then run past it and turn around to fight them
both.
== Tram Station ==
Step aboard the tram then interact with the controls on the wall to end this
chapter.

Before moving all the way across, look on the left wall up ahead and find the
fleshy organic sac on the wall that looks much like a baby. Besides one other
enemy, that is the most annoying enemy in the game right there my friend, but
it has one weakness that will do it in with one hit. Walk back and kinesis
grapple the red explosive canister near the ramp and bring it across the ramp
with you. When you get to the other side, the Spawner (the wall creature) will
begin to send out its appendages along the wall around it.
These annoying things shoot out pods that will stick to the ground and tentacle
will surface from the pods and try to hit Isaac with projectiles. The pods can
be destroyed, but the Spawner will continue to shoot out more. The pods are
the most annoying factor in the battle with a Spawner since the pods will
explode if Isaac is next to one and the tentacle will shoot acid balls at him.
Don't ever get in close range to a Spawner or it will perform its instant kill
attack on Isaac - a sharp appendage quickly cuts off hit head. In order to
defeat one of these, all the appendages that it spreads along the wall around
it must be destroyed, so any type of weapon that covers a wide area will work
really well for these.
If you brought the red explosive canister with Isaac then simply wait for its
appendages to attach to the wall around it then launch the explosive canister
at it to kill it instantly! Always look for an explosive canister in the
immediate area when facing one of these, otherwise, the Force Gun's secondary
grenade fire sometimes works wonders for these enemies thanks to the wide area
that it covers. This doesn't always work supremely well though. If you use a
gun, then shoot it with stasis right off the bat to limit its pod shooting.
Keep in mind that it will still perform its instant kill move just as quickly
from short range even when under the influence of stasis!
Take the lift up to the top walkway in this room. Approach the moving platform
up ahead and shoot the Lurker on the other side with flame bursts. Wait for
the platform to move by then shoot it with stasis to slow it down so Isaac can
run across it. It is very possible to make it across without using stasis for
those risk takers out there!
Move to the other side and use the stasis recharger. Slow the platform with
stasis once again then run across it. You could actually slow it with stasis
then run back to the recharger and recharge then quickly run across the
platform if want to. As Isaac moves toward the next door the --DNA NEEDED--
database file will play and a new objective will be initiated.

Dr. Mercer will make his introduction behind glass to the right. Listen to the
good doctor then the maniac will let loose his experimental creature from the
test tube across from him.
Let me introduce you to the Regenerator. Its head, both arms and both legs can
all be shot off, but there is one problem - it cannot die through weapon
blasts. Isaac can only slow it down by crippling it. Stasis is the best option
to slow these enemies in order to get away from them. So what do you do now
since the door is now locked and Isaac is trapped? You run. It's very easy to
keep the Regenerator at a distance since it is so slow, just make sure to turn
the camera to keep up with it when Isaac dashes away from it. Remember that
you can still run while backing away. You don't have to use stasis or fire any
bullets at it to get through this part.
Isaac must circle around the room until the --INDESTRUCTIBLE-- database file is
received (Kendra will contact him). Kendra will unlock the nearby door. When
the door is unlocked, shoot the Regenerator with stasis to halt him then unlock
the door - remember that these doors don't open instantly. Haul ass through
the door and reenter the hallway.

through it yet! And he won't.

Spiders will crawl out from the hole in the wall above the middle ramp as the

shoot the group with a pulse grenade (secondary fire) or use a Contact Beam's
secondary fire and blast them while they are near Isaac. More Spiders will
appear from the other side of the ramp once Isaac moves toward the middle of
it, so be prepared to blast them as well.
Any shot from the Force Gun works incredibly well for these Spider enemies.
The Regenerator can be heard as he prowls the surrounding rooms while you move
through this one. Step through the door that leads to the hallway on the other
side.

stomp along the next floor but he won't attack.

Dr. Mercer will appear in the room up ahead and blabber a bit then leave. The
door to the right will unlock when he leaves. Seems like a trap to me...
== Emergency Room ==
The room is silent as Isaac enters, and there are quite a few pickups in here
that need to be horded. Sadly, Slashers and the Regenerator from before will
appear in this room. Lurkers will show up once many of the Slashers have been
defeated. Your main goal for this room is to defeat all other enemies besides
the Regenerator - he can't be defeated in here!
Shoot one of the Regenerator's legs off to slow him down considerably then slow
the Regenerator down even more with stasis and focus all of your firepower on
the Slashers and Lurkers. This can be a very dangerous room if you allow the
Regenerator to run freely. If you run from him while he has all appendages, he
will jump into a vent on the ceiling then fall down near Isaac eventually. Be
sure to stun him with stasis and keep him stunned most of the time. Use the
Line Gun to chop through groups of enemies at once and switch to the Force Gun
to simply get them off of Isaac if they start to pile up. Switch to either the
Flamethrower or Plasma Cutter to deal with the Lurkers.
For locations of item pickups, --RANDOM AMMO-- is on the floor to Isaac's right
when you first enter, --RANDOM AMMO-- is on the next bed to the right as you
walk forward, --RANDOM AMMO-- is near the far right corner on the other side of
the room, --1,000 CREDITS-- is on a bed on the other side of the room and there
are two --ITEM LOCKERS-- in the small room across from the locked door on the
other side. I wouldn't recommend going into the room with the Item Lockers -
it's risky since Isaac can get trapped easily.
Once the other enemies besides the Regenerator have all been defeated, the

The Regenerator and a few Lurkers will attack after Dr. Mercer finishes
talking. Isaac must defeat the Regenerator to leave this room. What in the
world can you do with something that will not die? You contain it! But how?
There is a cryogenic freezing chamber in the middle of this room. The controls
for the cryo chamber are in the control room where Dr. Mercer appeared. Right
when the Regenerator first appears, stand on the opposite side of the freezing
chamber and allow him to walk into the middle of the chamber then stun him with
stasis - it wouldn't hurt to shoot off his leg also. Quickly run up either
ramp on the other side of the room that leads to the control room where Mercer

activate the freezing process. If you are fast enough then the chamber will
freeze the Regenerator and he will be contained and defeated.
If you need more stasis then there is a stasis recharger in the area with the
cryo chamber. If the Regenerator moves too fast for you then blast off one of
his legs while he is in the cryo chamber or you might want to cripple him
completely by blasting off his appendages until he is forced to regenerate.
The --GOT THE POISON-- database file will play after the Regenerator has been

A Slasher will drop form the ceiling onto the catwalk at the top - it's nothing
a little Plasma Cutter to the appendages won't solve. Continue into the next
room on the other side.
== West Grow Chamber ==
This room can get pretty violent inside. Slashers and Lurkers will show up as
Isaac ventures further into the room. The Slashers can really pile up in this
room and they dash frantically with extreme aggression when moving toward
Isaac. It is best to stay on the constant move and shoot their legs off while
fighting them to keep from getting surrounded. Use the Line Gun in this room
for the most part but switch to the Force Gun if the enemies start to pile up.
Don't worry about shooting the Lurkers with the Flamethrower, since there are
so many Slashers - try to shoot the Lurkers' appendages as they try to attack.
There are a few explosive canisters lying around that can be launched at groups
of Slasher but with their aggression it can be hard to aim right.
TIP: You can enter the Inner Greenhouse A room on the left side of this area
and blast the Slashers from the doorway as they try to enter. The Slashers
will start to enter the room from the vents on the ceiling and on the floor.
Be sure to shoot the pod to the side early if you do this since killing it will
replenish the oxygen on the room.
For item pickups, there are two --RANDOM AMMO-- pickups down the corridor to
the left when you first enter and there is an --ITEM CHEST-- and an --ITEM
CONTAINER-- on the right side of the room. Enter the room on the back right
side of this area. The left door to that room is the only one that is
unlocked.

Isaac will have to use his oxygen tank to breathe in this room because of the
contaminated air from the nearby pod. Find the POD (1/8) in the back of this
greenhouse (the bloated hunched creature) and stomp him to death or shoot it
twice with the Plasma Cutter to destroy it. The contaminated air from around
the area will be sterilized as the room cleans the air and Isaac will be able
to breathe again. Remember to always shoot the pods in a contaminated room
first even if other enemies are around so you don't have to worry about oxygen.
Stomp the --ITEM BOX-- near the pod. A Dark Slasher will smash through a vent
in the back and attack in a few seconds - he'll follow Isaac into the outside
area if you happen to leave. A Lurker will appear outside of the greenhouse
while leaving. Enter the other greenhouse on the other side of this area.

feeding system in the back of the elevator.
To get the large med pack, interact with the controls for the feeding system
near the elevator then shoot the feeding container with stasis as the door
opens and it moves out of the floor. Quickly run to the other side of the

Right when Isaac steps into the next hall, a new enemy will move toward him
from off to the right. This is the Exploder. Aim for its glowing yellow arm
and shoot it a few times to make the arm explode along with it. Both the Pulse
Rifle and the Plasma Cutter work well for these enemies. Their other
appendages can be shot also but there is really no need to defeat them this
way. The yellow arm can also be cut off with a shot to where it will fall to
the floor - this can be useful for when you fight these in groups with other
enemies. Isaac can actually grapple the arm with kinesis and shoot it much
like an explosive canister.
More Exploders will appear in the room, so don't move forward that much until
they stop coming - you have to move forward a bit to make some of the later
Exploders attack though. These enemies look so easy, don't they? Haha, wait
until they start showing up with other enemies then come back at me with your
answer to that question. The Exploders attack by slapping Isaac with their
glowing appendages to create an explosion that will kill them and damage Isaac
pretty badly, so just imagine fighting them in an intense group of Slashers,
Stingers or Lurkers. Shooting off their leg and right arm to stop them will
become important later mainly for when they get too close to Isaac. They use
both their right leg and right arm to support them while they move, so both
have to be shot off in order to stop them.
Run to the other end and step into the next room.
== Refrigeration West ==
There is a stasis recharger to the right and two --ITEM LOCKERS-- directly
ahead. The area surrounded in mist up ahead is without gravity. Step inside

Look up at the ceiling. The spikes in any of the zero gravity area cannot kill
Isaac since he can't jump into them so don't ever worry about them. Find the
ceiling door with the glowing kinesis symbol then grapple it and pull it to the
side to open it. Don't jump toward it just yet - take out the Flamethrower and
use flame bursts to heat up the Lurkers that move through the doorway.
Jump through the doorway on the ceiling. Look around the next room and find
the next door with a glowing kinesis symbol on it. Grapple the door then move
it to the side in order to open it then leap through it.
A single Lurker will attack in the next portion of the room, so flame him with
long range flame bursts. Find the alcove with the explosive canister on the
wall then jump into the alcove. If you can't line up perfectly with it then
jump to the wall below it and run up the wall toward it since the area is
sloped - like you're running uphill. Enter the next room through the door and
open the next door in the hall ahead.
== Air Filtration Room ==
Isaac will enter an air filtration room with flames shooting below him. There
is an --ITEM CHEST-- off to the right as Isaac enters. Move up the stairs to
the left and pick up the --RANDOM AMMO-- on the catwalk. Walk to the elevator
on the right side of the room and pick up the --CROSS REPORT 2-- database file
along the way. Take the elevator to the bottom floor.

Punch the purple fuse box to the right of the door along the right side of the
wall to open the door that leads to the room with the first flame. Yeah, you
have to run through all these flames, but it's not as bad as you think. The
fuse box for the next door across from the current door can be seen. I'd shoot
the next fuse box if I were you, so you don't have to wait for it to open. If
you look through the closing metal blinds on the wall directly across from the
first door, you can see the third fuse box as well, so shoot it. Now all of
the doors in the flame rooms are open except for the fourth door.
Speaking of the metal blinds, watch them for a few seconds and notice how they
close seconds before the flames shoot. You can watch these to tell when a
flame is about to shoot from the wall to the right. In order to get through
this area easily, look toward the wall where the flame shoots from then shoot
the wall with stasis and this will slow down the flaming process big time.
Peak into each room and shoot the flaming mechanism then run to the next flame
room and do the same thing until Isaac reaches the other side. There are only
three flame rooms.
You'll have to hit the fuse box in the third flame room to open the final
(fourth) door or, if you're patient enough, it is possibly to look through the
metal blinds and actually shoot the fuse next to the final door. A Slasher
will attack directly after the door is open, so have a Pulse Rifle ready to
tear right through him or just shoot off ones of his legs with the Plasma
Cutter. If you shoot the fuse from the far away then the Slasher will run
through the flame rooms toward Isaac. Either way, enter the room and blast the
POD (4/8) to the left. Find the elevator on the right side of the area and
take it up to the top floor.
Walk to the right and open the --ITEM CHEST-- and smash the --ITEM BOX--. Move
up the stairs and enter the control room then snatch the --MEDIUM MED PACK--

Now you're back in the West Grow Chamber. Two Lurkers and a Pregnant will

shooting the Pregnant in order to hit his top appendages. If you hit his chest
then just shoot a force grenade to get rid of the Spiders. Wait for the
Lurkers to show their appendages and then shoot them from up close with a Force

the Force Gun equipped and spam him with force grenades (both sides of him)
until he starts to yell in pain during his dying animation. You have to be
quick or he will start shooting many pods in front of him. He will likely
shoot a few pods, but hammer him down with grenades and he won't last long.
You can shoot him with stasis to keep him from shooting pods when Isaac first
enters the room if you want.

Boss: Leviathan
Recommended Weapons:
Plasma Cutter
Pulse Rifle
Contact Beam
Leviathan looks rather intimidating at first glance since he basically
comprises the entire back portion of the wall but he shall feel Isaac's wrath
just like all his other necromorph squad. This boss fight takes place in zero
gravity and the room is circular so there is no limit to where Isaac can move
when he moves sideways.
The Leviathan has three tentacles that it will stretch out and attack with. It
only has one attack with the tentacle and it will always give off a sign before
it attacks. Whenever the bottom tentacle faces upward and begins to shake,
this is a sign that he is about to perform a ground smash. Simply run to
either side whenever you see the tentacle shake and this will be avoided - it's
best to already be running before the tentacle prepares to attack or you might
get hit sometimes. Make sure to keep running until the tentacle retracts or it
can hit Isaac while it rises. You can also perform a zero-g jump to any
section of the area as the tentacle shakes to get away from the attack as well,
but running is much easier. It is best to completely circle the room by
running sideways throughout this battle except for when you have to attack of
course.
When the tentacle retracts from attacking, a glowing yellow section of the
tentacle will appear. Wait for the tentacle to move back toward the wall and
it will stick in place to where the yellow portion can be easily shot. Shoot
the yellow portion of the tentacle with either the Plasma Cutter, Pulse Rifle
or Contact Beam to cut off the tentacle. The Leviathan will begin to attack
with its other tentacles after the first one is cut off. It will use the same
attack with each tentacle once again so dodge the ground smash then shoot off
the rest of the tentacles. The attacking tentacle will always move to the
bottom middle portion of the wall.
Once all tentacles have been removed the Leviathan will open up its middle
mouth and begin to fire out acid pods. The pods will explode upon contact and
knock Isaac down. Wait for each pod to shoot from his mouth then aim at the
pod and grapple it with kinesis then wait for the next pod to fire and fire the
current pod back at the Leviathan to destroy the next pod. It will fire out a
total of five pods per projectile attack, so if you can grapple the first and
third pod then shoot them back then you can grapple the fifth pod and fire it
back at the Leviathan's weak spot.
The Leviathan will reveal its weak spot showcased as a yellow section in the
back of its mouth right after shooting the fifth pod, so hold the fifth pod in
place and aim for the Leviathan's weak spot inside of its mouth then fire the
pod at it. If you miss with the pod then quickly shoot the yellow portion of
its mouth with weapon fire - you only have a brief second to do so. Manage to
hit it with a charged Contact Beam primary fire and this will severely hurt the
Leviathan.
It will play a game of "catch the acid pod" with Isaac a few times, depending
on how you damage it, then it will regrow its tentacles. Once the tentacles
have regrown, it will go back to the same basic tentacle attacks, but it will
sometimes shoot a set of acid pods instead. Watch for either a tentacle to
shake or the mouth to open to know which attack it is about to perform. This
part can get slightly tense at times but watch the Leviathan carefully and
you'll be able to react to its attacks. Shoot off the tentacles like you
normally would after each of its tentacle attacks and this will cause it to
eventually shoot pods again.
The main hard part about this fight is sustaining enough ammo to fight off the
tentacles and damage the Leviathan. Try not to waste ammo. If you are a good
shot with the Contact Beam or shooting its pods back at it's weak spot then
that by itself will help out tons since both methods are so damaging. There
are explosive canisters floating around this room that can help out for the
tentacles (grapple with kinesis then toss) but these don't help that much with
shooting the mouth, unless you're really quick. The acid pods can easily get
the best of Isaac once one of them hits him since the Leviathan will continue
to shoot them even while Isaac is getting up. Remember that you can shoot the
pods and run to the side to avoid them. It's always best to grapple them if
possible however.
TIP: You don't actually have to shoot the tentacles off of the Leviathan when
it reforms them. You could dodge the tentacles and wait for the Leviathan to
shoot acid pods. The only bad part about doing this is that the acid pods
might accidentally explode on the Leviathan's tentacles and mess up your
kinesis grapple timing.
TIP 2: Instead of grappling each pod, you can also fire at the pods to slow
them down, making them basically float in the air until the next pod destroys
the one fired upon. Basically, you can fire at the first pod, allow the second
pod to hit the first, fire at the third pod, allow the fourth pod to hit the
third then grapple the fifth pod that the Leviathan shoots and fire it back at
its weak point. You can also fire at the weak point in the mouth very shortly
before it begins to fire pods - it always exposes its weak point for a brief
second.

Finally, the ship seems stable. I've bought us some time, hopefully enough
to find the SOS Beacon. But even if we send out a distress signal, is
anyone close enough to this system to hear it...?
Well, we certainly got to the ROOT of that problem as Mr. Redfield might say.
Yuck, yuck, yuck! Now, let us exit the room and get back to the tram. Before
you leave the Food Storage, be sure to look it over for any remaining items -
look for a flashing light to signify the items then simply grapple them with
kinesis and collect them.
== Food Storage Hallway ==
Reenter the Atmosphere Control.

Be sure to stop by the Store and put some of your extra items in the safe.
Isaac most likely has a full load. It's not good to be a packrat with your
main inventory. Reenter the Sapling Room.

SPECIAL NOTE: The "Attach the Beacon" database file requires plenty of
backtracking in order for it to play. You have to enter the Mining Bay and
destroy all four tethers but DO NOT plant the beacon on the asteroid.
Afterwards, backtrack all the way to the Mining Controls room and try launch
the asteroid to receive this file.

Objective Added:
[ ] Find the Mining Access Key
Kendra located the Mining Access Key on the Processing Sub Deck. That must
be where the mining supervisor died. I knew these men. I can't believe
they are all dead.
[ ] Find the S.O.S. Beacon
The beacon could be our only way off this goddamn ship. It's stored
somewhere on the Maintenance Sub Deck. It sends out a strong sub space
broadcast that should alert any ship in the sector.
[ ] Plant the Beacon
I need to secure the SOS Beacon to the asteroid. Once the asteroid is
launched, the beacon will clear the Ishimura navigation array, and it will
be able to broadcast a clear signal.

Stingers will attack once you move further into this room. You need to destroy
the four boulders in this room so gravity can be activated once again. Jump
around the room and find all four boulders then grapple each one with kinesis
and fire them at the flame beam in the middle of the room. You will receive an
"Anomaly Destroyed" message whenever each boulder burns up completely. There
is also a counter displayed on the wall next to the gravity controls that will
tell you how many more boulders are in the room.
Lurkers will attack once the first two boulders have been destroyed. A message
saying that gravity can now be restored will be issued once all boulders have
been destroyed. Find the gravity controls on the walkway beside the walkway
that Isaac entered this area from - it's to the right while stepping through
the hole.
Use a Power Node to open the door behind the controls before messing with them
and pick up the --RANDOM AMMO--, --MEDIUM MED PACK and --RUBY SEMICONDUCTOR and
then open the --ITEM CHEST--.

Before activating the gravity, run back to the nearby store through the hole in
the wall and pick up the Line Gun, Force Gun and the Pulse Rifle if you don't
have them. Things get ugly once the gravity is activated again.
Once gravity is restored, catwalks will form along the sides of the current
walkway. Now the enemies attack! Slashers will dash toward Isaac from both
catwalks eventually, a Pregnant will move down the left catwalk and Exploders
will fall from each of the four ends of the room - onto the walkway. Keep the
Slashers away from Isaac by using the Force Gun to knock them back. If the
Pregnant's chest is hit then destroy the Spiders with force grenades or a force
blast. Aim quickly at Exploders from a distance and shoot them with the Pulse
Rifle or the Plasma Gun.
If the enemies start to bombard Isaac then take out the Line Gun and slice
through the whole group of them. The Exploders make this battle very deadly
especially with how they leap down from the ceiling. When they get close, they
won't hesitate in exploding no matter what Isaac is doing. You can take
shelter in the Power Node room and shoot them but you won't have that great of
a view of the outside action. Really the safest place is the middle of a
catwalk - don't stand on a concrete section of the walkway since the Exploders
fall from the ceilings above them. Locating the Exploders is the most
important part of this battle since they can sneak up behind you so very easily
while Slashers attack.
When all the insanity ends, find the door that leads to the Mineral Processing
Control Room then step inside.
TIP: If you enter the Power Node room and let the door seal off, all the
outside necromorphs, except for the Pregnant, will begin to fall into the room
from the single overhead vent. This can make the battle a lot easier since you
won't be surrounded. Stand at the end of the room opposite the door and
prepare to shoot them as they fall..

If you start to hear a crackling sound like the sound of an appendage entering
a person's skull in order to turn them into a Dark Slasher then you'd best run
down the hall to the left up ahead and start blasting the two Infectors in the
organic covered area. These things will stay down here and make Dark Slashers
out of the two bodies if you allow them to. Run toward them and flame them or
just shoot them a few times with any weapon to kill them quickly.
Collect the --GOLD SEMICONDUCTOR-- from near the right end of the hallway

Activate the lift. While the lift is moving across, pods will attack from the
side walkways by shooting acid balls at Isaac. Take out the Plasma Cutter then
flip the front portion horizontally and then aim for the tentacles that stick
out of the pods then shoot them off. It's best to move from side to side if
you fail to hit them a lot. There are a few --RANDOM AMMO-- pickups along the
walkways with the pods that can be retrieved with kinesis, but you'll so busy
shooting pods that it's quite hard to retrieve them.

Nicole will begin to unlock the door to the Storage Room in the back of Isaac
as he turns toward the side that she is on. For this part, you need to protect
Nicole while she unlocks the door behind Isaac. You can use a variety of
weapons here. I recommend using the Pulse Rifle or Plasma Cutter for the first
few Slashers that appear on her side then switch over to the Force Gun as they
appear on your side. When more than one at a time starts to appear, shoot
force grenades over on her side then blast the Slashers that appear on your
side with force blasts. Be careful with your gunfire since Isaac can actually
hit Nicole during this battle and wound her - if she dies then the game is
over.
The Force Gun is your best option for most of this portion - the force grenades
help out extremely well. The Pulse Rifle and Plasma Cutter work ok also.
Remember that you can grapple any ammo or items that the Slashers leave behind
on her side using kinesis. There is an explosive canister on your side that
can be launched over to Nicole's side and there is also some --RANDOM AMMO--
hidden with the canisters.

Nicole has no visible health bar, so you basically have to keep the Slashers
away from her at all times without any sort of damage warning. She can take a
few hits before dying, but don't rely on her defense. A Lurker will appear on
the left wall during the final wave, so blast it with the Force Gun or
Flamethrower. Nicole will unlock the door for Isaac then walk back into the
next room. Be sure to look through the dead bodies on the other side of the
room to make sure that you don't leave any items behind. Grapple the dead
appendages with kinesis and search through them for anything that glows (an
item). Open the door to the Maintenance Storage Room.

Leave the storage room then step back out into the Maintenance Chamber.
== Maintenance Chamber ==
Step on the lift and take it back across. I'm sure you're fearing the worst
here. Well, while Isaac rides across this time, Lurkers and pods will attack.
Take out the Pulse Rifle and blast them. The Force Gun's force grenades can
work well here, but you have to hit one of the Lurkers directly with a force
grenade since it will roll off the side of the platform otherwise. If you can
hit them directly with force grenades then it will defeat just about all the
enemies on that one side. Isaac is a sitting duck right here for projectile
fire, so you have to stay constantly moving back and forth with what little
space that you have if you can't hit them.
Two Slashers will be waiting on the other side as the lift stops, so don't let
the enemies on the sides distract you when the lift gets close to the other
side. Blast them with the Force Gun as the lift stops. The save station is
far enough away from the other enemies to where they won't be able to hit
Isaac, so go ahead and save your game at the save station even with enemies
still in the room. They can only fire if you step toward them then quickly
back up toward the save station.

The power unit that is plugged into the power plug supplies power to the small
lift to the side but there is no use to moving up to the control room at the
moment since you need to destroy the tethers and plant the beacon on the
asteroid in order to send it out into space. Grapple the power plug with
kinesis and bring it along with you then leave the room - keep in mind that
you'll have to return this power unit to this power plug later in order to use
the elevator. Step back into the Extraction Room then walk down the hallway on
the other side.

There is a slight new enemy in this room. Watch out for the Dark Stingers.
They are the same as ordinary Stingers but they take more hits and are more
aggressive much like the Dark Slashers. Use either the Plasma Cutter or Line
Gun to defeat them easily. The Force Gun and really just about any other gun
will work just as well, but they have tough armor! Don't stand in one spot
while fighting one since there are three of them in this room. They jump down
and attack soon enough.
Once all three Stingers are destroyed find the tethers in this room that
support the asteroid by holding it in place with a grapple beam. They have a
spinning piece on them. Stand right next to the spinning piece and shoot it
with stasis then blast the lighted area inside with any weapon to shut off each
tether. Destroy the TETHER (1/4) on the floor and the TETHER (2/4) on the
ceiling. But this is only two, where are the others?
Turn your attention to the asteroid. You see the circular metal pieces that
move back and forth on it? Those pieces will tear Isaac to shreds if they hit
him. While on the floor facing the asteroid, look to the left side to notice
that the circular metal pieces move away from the lower left side eventually.
When they begin to move from that side, zero-g jump to that side of the
asteroid then quickly run around the left side of the asteroid.
Isaac will step out into space and enter a vacuum area with zero gravity. Two
Lurkers will attack on this side. The SOS beacon can be placed in the center
of this side of the asteroid in order to fulfill one of the objective but DON'T
PLACE THE BEACON YET IF YOU WANT TO GAIN ALL DATABASE FILES FOR THIS CHAPTER.
Find the TETHER (3/4) on the right and TETHER (4/4) on the left and shut down
each of them by shooting them with stasis then blasting in between the rotating
metal pieces and hitting the light with a gun.
Objective Complete:
[X] Destroy the Gravity Tethers
If you want to gain all database files, then don't plant the SOS Beacon but
destroy all the tethers. Once the tethers are destroyed, step back around the
asteroid and move back into the Mining Bay. Travel all the way to the Control
Room by going up the elevator in the Mining Hallway and using the Mining Access
key on the door - you'll have to place the power unit into the power plug near
the lift in that area again. Walk over to the controls for the asteroid and
examine them to receive the --ATTACH THE BEACON-- database file.
NOTE: If you accidentally plant the beacon and still want to get the database
file then jump onto the asteroid and allow the circular metal pieces to kill
Isaac and you will start at the beginning of the room without having placed the
beacon.

To accomplish the beacon objective, simply stand on the asteroid and press the
X (or A) button to plant the SOS beacon on it.
TIP: Plant the beacon next to the side of the asteroid where Isaac first enters
the vacuum area from and this will help you to easily see the side where both
circular metal pieces move away from when you go to leave this vacuum area.
Objective Complete:
[X] Plant the Beacon
Getting out of the back of the asteroid without hitting the outside circular
metal pieces is one of the hardest parts of this room, but it's still not that
bad, just a little tricky. Move to the right side of the asteroid then watch
for the side where the circular pieces both move away from - they meet on this
side then both of them move separate ways away from this side. Quickly run in
that direction once they move away then leap off the asteroid and into any part
of the Mining Bay below - just target a surface then jump. Jump to the floor
afterwards then exit the room.
== Control Room Hallway ==
Be sure to recharge your stasis at the stasis recharger along the wall then
move back to the lift. A single Slasher will appear in the hall ahead, so be
ready to blast him. Take the lift up again.
== Extraction Room ==
The caged circular portions of this room now shoot out fire, so time your runs
to step past them when they go out. You need to grapple the power unit for the
elevator then pull it out and take it with you all the way over to the Mining
Hallway - stand on the opposite side of the flames away from the power unit
then grapple to get it out of the plug easier. You might want to shoot the
power unit through the flames in each section where you have to cross some
flames to avoid walking really slow by them. The other side of the Extraction
Room has flames currents also. The flames will not automatically kill Isaac,
but they will damage him badly.
== Mining Hallway ==
Plug the power unit back into the power plug up the second left ramp in order
to power the elevator. Move over to the elevator once it is active and take it
up. Use the Mining Access Key to open the locked door at the top.
== Mining Control ==
Take the --POWER NODE-- from the container on the right wall then open the
--ITEM CHEST-- against the back wall. Walk over to the controls near the
window on the other side of this room and interact with them. If you haven't
placed the SOS Beacon then you'll receive the "Attach the Beacon" database file
and will have to run all the way back to the asteroid and attach the beacon but
if you have already placed it then the asteroid will be launched out into space
with the SOS beacon attach.

[ ] Go to the Bridge
The beacon's on its way broadcasting loud and clear. Now we cross our
fingers and hope someone picks up the signal. The chances are slim but
it's our only hope. Kendra says there's something wrong with the
Communications Array, which means if someone tries to reach us, we can't
hear them. Got to get back to the Bridge and fix it.
When Isaac tries to leave the Mining Control room, the door will seal off and
the area will be placed under quarantine. Many Slashers will drop from the
vents in the ceiling and attack. The first few are normal Slashers but the
last few are dark Slashers. This close quarters battle with several Dark
Slashers at once can get pretty bad if they trap Isaac, so run away if they get

Somehow a military ship heard our distress call. It's unbelievable luck.
Now I just need to see what's wrong with the Comms Array and contact the

I really don't like this area, do you? It's such an open playing field for
enemy encounters!
All the --ITEM CHESTS-- around the sides of the room that were locked in the
past are now open, so start collecting Mr. Clarke. Enter the room off to the

When Isaac moves too far into the back of the Atrium room, the doors will seal
off as the are is put under quarantine. Exploders will fall from the ceiling
and attack. Stand in one of the sides of the Atrium near the a control panel
and shoot their exploding appendages with either the Plasma Cutter or the Pulse
Rifle. They will start to pile up as the battle continues, so get ready to run
if you start to miss a lot.
Three Dark Slashers and a Dark Stinger will appear in the final wave of
enemies. Bring out the Line Gun and fire at them. Try to cripple the Slashers
by shooting off their legs and that will help greatly. The area will unseal
once the final wave of enemies is finished. You might want to run down the
steps in the very back of this area and save your game at the !!SAVE STATION!!
on the wall.
Enter the elevator directly across from the stairs. The first floor cannot be
accessed at the moment, so take the elevator up to Level 3. The

Oh look, a !!SAVE STATION!! up ahead. Don't save your game right away though.
A Spawner is on the far left wall down the hall, so run straight at it and
shoot it with force grenades. Another Spawner is on the left side of the same
wall - they're both on opposite sides of the middle door. Shoot the furthest
one with stasis to limit his movements while you take on the other. You might
have to switch to another weapon (Plasma Cutter or Pulse Rifle) to defeat the
second Spawner since the angle you are shooting from is the extreme right. Aim
for its appendages as they move out of its stomach and attach to the wall
around it. This battle can really showcase how annoying these enemies are.
Return to the back hall and open the three --ITEM CONTAINERS-- along the
sidewall then save your game. Go back and open the door that the Spawners were
surrounding then step into the next room.

== Comms Array Hallway ==
A new enemy will appear from the back of the hall. This is the Divider. All
of its visible appendages can be shot off and once any appendage is cut off of
it then it will fall and split into Crawlers. Shoot it with stasis then aim
for one of its legs with the Plasma Cutter or Line gun and cut the leg off.
While it falls, take out the Force Gun and get ready to blast the whole group
of Crawlers that it will leave behind. The Contact Beam can work well for a
Divider also if you don't have stasis since one hit will knock it down then the
next hit will likely make it split into Crawlers.
It's possible to kill a Divider and all Crawlers during one stasis hit if your
stasis is powered up enough. Each appendage becomes a Crawler, so simply aim
at each one with the Plasma Cutter or Pulse Rifle as it falls while slowed with
stasis and shoot off the appendage then the Crawler it becomes.
Open the three --ITEM CONTAINERS-- on the sidewall for some extra items then be
sure to grab the --RUBY SEMICONDUCTOR-- left behind by the Divider. Use

The main objective in this room is to form a circle of working satellite dishes
by plugging the dishes in between the metal pieces along the wall. Grapple
dishes with kinesis to carry them to other parts of the room. The working
metal dishes are marked with a blue glow and kinesis symbol. The red dishes
are damaged and do not work but they can still be lifted with kinesis to pull
them out of their current slots. Simply form a circle of working dishes by
pulling out the damaged dishes and plugging a full circular row of working
dishes into the plugs in the middle portion of the room.
Three working dishes are already plugged into the center circle by default, so
unplug the damaged dishes in that circle and replace them with working dishes.
You can view the red communications control display in this room to see where
all the working and damaged dishes are plugged. Damage dishes are showcased
with a red light while working dishes appear as a green light. Any circle of
working dishes can be made in order to get the Communications array working
again, but the closest circle at the bottom is already started for you.

Boss: Slug
Unlike the last boss battle, this one is set up in a shooter minigame. You'll
have to blast 'ole softy outside to get his attention and make him attack
Isaac. The slug will eventually raise its tentacles upwards. That's not
happiness to see us is it?
The Slug's tentacles will eventually grab an object then toss it toward the
cannon where Isaac is. The objects that will throw range from fuel canisters
to pieces of the ship itself. Each object that hits Isaac's side will damage
the ship's hull. The health for the ship's hull (hull integrity) appears on
the lower right portion of the screen during this battle and it will start at
100 for this battle.
Controls:
Left Cannon: L1 (or LT)
Right Cannon: R1 (or RT)
You'll have to cut off each one of the Slug's tentacles in order to damage the
Slug. The tentacles' weak point is the glowing yellow portion in the middle of
each one. Focus on one tentacle at a time and wait for the targeted tentacle
to raise up with a grappled object then blast it continuously in its yellow
weak spot with both cannons. Once each tentacle has received enough damage, it
will break off from the slug. You'll need to blast the thrown objects as they
travel toward the ship, so try to keep a watch for any objects that the
tentacles throw then blast the objects with both cannons. The cannon can still
overheat just like last time, so don't get extremely trigger happy.
It's really hard to keep an eye out for objects when all five tentacles are
active since there are quite a number of tentacles to watch, but once only
about two are left, defending the ship's hull from incoming debris is much more
manageable. The most important part of the beginning of the battle is
whittling the beast's tentacles down to about two. Keep the cannon aimed
toward the middle of the screen then defeat the middle tentacle first. The
middle portion is where most of the objects will fly by, so you will probably
accidentally shoot some objects while shooting the middle tentacle. Pick a
side after that then finish each tentacle on the chosen side while trying to
watch for any thrown objects. Once you get down to two tentacles, focus less
on spamming them with fire and more on defending the ship since it is much
easier to watch the two tentacles' actions around that time.
TIP: If you shoot one of the tentacles in the yellow portion while it is
leaning over to grab an object then it will rise up once again.
If you can manage to keep the shield strength up to 50% after beating the Slug
then you will gain the "Slugger" trophy (achievement). Unlike the
accomplishment associated with shooting asteroids in Chapter 4, this one isn't
too bad since the battle can be sped up by defeating the Slug quickly and also
the hull strength starts at 100% instead of 85%. Knock off the tentacles as
quickly as possible and basically follow the tips that I have above.
The --IMPACT-- database file and the --HAMMOND RETURNS-- database file will
play shortly after the Slug has been defeated. You can still fire the cannons
the whole time the database files are playing, though you can't shoot anything.
Why not fire at the USM Valor up to the left side? Why did you open the escape
pod!? Die now for your foolishness!

Objective Added:
[ ] Go to the Cargo Deck
The military ship... it slammed into the Ishimura. Maybe some of the
marines are still alive and can help, but somehow I doubt it. Hammond says
he found a shuttle on the Crew Deck. I need to salvage a Singularity Core
out of the military ship to repair the shuttle. There is still hope, slim
though it may be...
Ah, the excitement never ends, does it? Save your game at the save station
then leave the room. We need to get back to the tram.

Two Crawlers are in this area, so take out the Force Gun and blast them then
continue to the elevator across from the save station down the left hall. Take
the elevator to level 2.
== Main Atrium ==
You'll probably hear the creature before even stepping out of the elevator.
Yep, there is a Divider outside. Get the Plasma Cutter or Line Gun ready then
step out of the elevator. It's only one of them and he is around the right
side of the elevator shaft so find him and shoot him stasis then cut off a limb
and shoot the Crawlers with the Force Gun whenever he splits.

One of the Valor's weapon modules ripped open in the crash scattering
highly radioactive munitions through the Ore Storage chamber. The
radiation leak has ceased the Valor's airlock to seal itself. I need to
clear the chamber of the munitions before I can get onboard the ship.
This area does not have any gravity, so Isaac can move just about anywhere in
here. Before you can dispose of the green radioactive circular objects, Isaac
must first open the door in the middle of the room. Walk toward the middle
door on the floor and stomp each of the six purple fuses around the door -
there are three on each side. There are two --ITEM BOXES-- floating around
this room (near the door) so look around the room for them before stomping the
fuses.

opens. A Stinger and a Lurker will attack directly afterwards. Be sure to
take note of the two oxygen rechargers around the middle door. Eventually two
Dark Stingers and two more Lurkers will attack while Isaac moves around in this
room.
Look around the room and grapple each of the six green radiation balls with
kinesis then bring them down to the open door on the floor in the middle of the
room and then blast them out into space. You will get a "Radioactive material
removed" confirmation when each of them is tossed out into space. Three of the
radioactive balls are up on a wall with circular metal pieces on it to the
left. Some of the radioactive balls are hidden behind the circular metal
pieces.
Objective Complete:
[X] Clear Radioactive Material (6/6)
Once all of the green radiation balls have been thrown out into space the door
on the side of the UMG Valor will open. Look up on the ship and find the

move further ahead toward the door that is blocked by debris and open the

further down the right side of this room. Move over to the right side of the
area with the cargo and find the first crate with the glowing kinesis symbol on
it. All the crates in this room are on tracks, so they can only be moved in
two directions. Grapple the crate with kinesis then move it further ahead past
the bigger crates. Try not to move it all the way back to where it pushes the
other crate with the kinesis symbol. Step into the section off to the left
then turn and grapple the crate you were just moving from the side then pull it
to the right - walk sideways to the right while it is grappled. Grapple the
next crate across from the one you just moved and move it to the right as well
by walking sideways to the right while grappling. Step into the cargo area
that the crate was blocking and pick up the --RANDOM AMMO-- from it.

Run back around the corner then approach the other side where more kinesis
symbol crates are. Walk to the far right along that side then turn to face the
crate that blocks the way. Grapple the kinesis crate and move directly into
the area that you just stepped through. Grapple the left crate that was behind
the one you just moved and push it back further into the room. Turn to the
right and find the next kinesis crate then slide it over to the right. This
path will move Isaac into the back of the cargo room.
The enemy that has been keeping ahead of Isaac, the Stasis Slasher, will be
waiting at the end of the corridor of crates further ahead. These things move
incredibly fast when they run toward Isaac. Shoot him with stasis whenever he
moves in front of Isaac then blast him like any other enemy. You have to be
careful while attempting to shoot them with stasis since they will sometimes
duck whenever they dash toward Isaac and the stasis shot will fly over their
head. The Force Gun's primary fire works very well against these type of
enemies without the need to use stasis, simply wait for one to run up to Isaac
then shoot it with a primary fire blast and it will most likely loose some
appendages and get knocked back. Run up to it and finish it off with more
blasts.
These enemies are just as deadly without a leg, so shooting off their legs
won't do that much to cripple them. Shoot off their appendages as you normally
would with a Slasher to kill them. They are tougher than the normal Slashers
but the main hard part about them is how fast they are! Two more Stasis
Slashers will attack after the first one is defeated.
Move on ahead down the corridor of crates then take the first left. Grapple
the crate in the left corridor with kinesis then push it directly ahead. Run
into the left corridor then smash the --ITEM BOX-- and take the --RANDOM AMMO--
from inside.

You'll need to grapple the crates blocking the doorway and toss them out into

Take note of the --ITEM CHEST-- near the right wall as Isaac moves toward the

before you mess with the closest door up ahead (it's an elevator door). The
furthest door is blocked from the other end. When Isaac attempts to open the
elevator door, the power unit beside it will explode. Infectors will attack
right after the power unit is destroyed, but if you stomped the bodies then
they will have nothing to infect, so take out a gun and defeat them. If the
soldier bodies are still there then you better blast the Infectors before they
use the bodies as a host since they will make Stasis Slashers out of the dead
bodies.
Run down the hall and grapple the power unit that powers the door at the other
end then pull it out of the power plug. Bring it back over to the empty power
plug beside the elevator door then plug it in to restore power to the elevator.

ceiling because of the reverse gravity plate below him. You can't shoot him to
end his suffering... then use kinesis to pull his dead body toward Isaac and
stomp his remains into the floor. The game won't allow it, so let's continue
down the hall to the side.
Step off into the right hall along the way to the next door and open the --ITEM

shoot the Divider with stasis then run to the area where he comes from and turn
back around to deal with the Exploders as they appear from the side. You can
also step back into the prior hallway.
Grab the --POWER NODE-- and take note of the --ITEM CHEST-- and --ITEM BOX--

Rounds 4 and 5 get very fast so keep your Plasma Cutter set to horizontal and
listen for the confirmation for each shot. If you fail to hit one back up then
move forward to try again. Don't pay attention to the scoreboard when you get
to Rounds 4 and 5 or it will be just enough to distract you away from a target.
Isaac can sometimes be the worst part of this entire game since the he covers
the left side of the camera if you stand in the middle, which is really the
best place to stand. Keep your gun aimed toward the middle then shoot a target
and return aim to the middle then wait for the next. On round 5, you have to
simply keep aiming and shooting.
Step into the next room outside when you're ready.
== Armory Corridors ==
A soldier will die from a leg wound as Isaac enters this area. Poor fellow.
You can mutilate his dead body if you want. Be sure to recharge your stasis at
the stasis recharger if needed. Enter the Infirmary.
== Infirmary ==
A Stasis Slasher will show Isaac what happens whenever a living thing runs
through the lasers that revolve around the middle of the room. It isn't pretty
and the same fate will befall Isaac if he happens to touch them. The robotic
arm controls the lasers and it can be shot with stasis. Wait for the arm to
point the lasers to the right then hit it with stasis and run over to the left
then pick up the --LARGE MED PACK SCHEMATIC-- and open the --ITEM CHEST-- and
run to the other side of the room very quickly.
A Stasis Slasher will attack from the other side while Isaac runs, but just run
by him or stun him with stasis quickly then run by him. He might get caught up
in the lasers himself. Open the two --ITEM CHESTS-- on the other side of the
room then enter the Barracks Corridors.

You'll hear a yell in here from an Exploder, so run down the hall to the right.
A Stasis Slasher will be the first to come after Isaac, so shoot him with
stasis then defeat him. Exploders will move down the hall toward Isaac next,
so shoot them with the Plasma Cutter or Pulse Rifle from a distance. An
Exploder will fall near Isaac but he should be far enough away to shoot it
safely. A few more Exploders will appear down the hall also. Grab the --POWER
NODE-- and use kinesis to pull the --RANDOM AMMO-- from the right side of the
burning debris toward Isaac.

Continue back down the hall then move down the end of the hall across from the
door that Isaac entered this area from. Open the --ITEM CHEST-- to the right
then move further ahead and open the other --ITEM CHEST-- to the left. Grab
the --RANDOM AMMO-- and --SMALL MEDPACK-- from in front of the debris and save
your game at the !!SAVE STATION!! on the right wall. You'll probably notice an
Exploder moving to the left behind the debris but it will step out of sight
quickly. Enter the Barracks.
== Barracks ==
A quarantine will initiate once you move further into this room. Run back to a
corner and stay there. Stay in the left corner of this room so enemies might
possibly walk across the reverse gravity plating up ahead. A Pregnant will be
the first to appear in the back but it shouldn't come toward Isaac if you step
back quickly enough. Lurkers and a Stasis Slashers will be the first to attack
followed by Stingers. Another Stasis Slasher will attack eventually. There is
really too many enemies in this room to keep up with any type of pattern, so
just know that you'll face plenty of Stasis Slashers, Stingers, Lurkers,
Exploders, and a Pregnant.
If you approach this room cautiously by staying in a corner near the back then
it is not as bad as it can be. If you dart into the middle of the room then
prepare for an onslaught! Use the Plasma Cutter or Pulse Rifle to shoot at
distant Exploders, use the Force Gun or Line Gun for Stasis Slashers, use the
Flamethrower or Force Gun for Lurkers then fight off the Stingers with the
Plasma Cutter or Line Gun. If you stay away from the other end of the room
then the Pregnant and Exploders from that end will most likely not even move
toward Isaac. Once the lockdown has been lifted, all enemies in the room are
finished.
Check the second opening in the right wall and grab the --LARGE MED PACK-- from
inside. You'll find plenty of --ITEM CONTAINERS-- on the large pillars in the
middle of the room - there are seven unlocked containers. At the far end of
the hall is a !!STORE!! on the back wall and the --ORDERS-- database file along
the floor. Enter the Engine Corridors through the door at the back end of the

The flames coming from the burners in the very back of this room will burn
Isaac and damage him quite a bit if he steps out into the flames - thankfully
they won't kill him instantly. Isaac can stand behind the metal cylinders with
the kinesis symbol on them to avoid the flames. He can grab these cylinders
with kinesis and move them toward the back of this room to get further into the
room unharmed.
There are three purple fuses along the middle portion of each side of this room
for a total of six. The fuses must all be destroyed to shut off the burners in
the back of this room. Grapple either cylinder and push it toward the burners
then shoot or punch the purple fuses along the metal columns on each side. On
the right side they are on the left columns and on the left side they are on
the right columns.
It is best to only move the metal cylinders when the flames stop. If Isaac is
too far away from the metal cylinder when the flames start then he will get
burned and this can easily be done while using kinesis while the flames are
surrounding Isaac. You will have to move the cylinders to the right or left
sometimes to avoid the pipes near the metal columns.
Once all six fuses are destroyed, the flames will stop. Collect the
++SINGULARITY CORE++ from the device in the middle of the back portion of the
room.
Objective Complete:

I've got the Singularity Core now. Removing it may cause some bad side
effects to the Valor's power system, so I should get out of here quickly.
I'm heading to the Crew Deck now, in hopes of repairing the shuttle docked
there.
The entire ship will now start to malfunction with short explosions throughout
the rooms now that the Singularity Core has been removed. The explosions for
the moment won't hurt Isaac and there is no hidden timer for getting out of the
ship. Find the corridor off to the right and move down it. Open the three
--ITEM CHESTS-- to the right at the first turn then continue to the left. An
explosion will engulf the next three --ITEM CHEST-- in flames but thankfully
the flames cannot hurt Isaac. Open the door to the left.

A Dark Brute will attack as it steps through the glass from the other side. Be
sure to shoot it with stasis then get in the back of it like all the rest. The
Contact Beam is the best way to defeat it quickly. If you don't have stasis
then shoot it with the Contact Beam from the front and it will eventually hunch
over to where you can get in some good back shots. The Line Gun works just as
well also. It will drop a --DIAMOND SEMICONDUCTOR-- when it is defeated. The

Clarke! Open the large door ahead then step back into the Engine Hall.
== Engine Hall ==
The door to the right is now unlocked so move through it. An explosion will
happen near the door that Isaac just went through that will set it ablaze. A
warning message will soon sound over the intercom. Avoid all the flames in the
next few areas along with this one or Isaac will take damage.
== Corridors ==
Move down the hall to the left. Open the lone --ITEM CHEST-- off to the right
along the way. Use kinesis to grab the power unit along the way and then plug
it into the nearby power plug to the right of the elevator door to unlock it.
Open the --ITEM CONTAINER-- on the wall to the right then step inside of the

== Ore Storage ==
Isaac will once again enter the vacuumed zero gravity room outside. Leap to
the floor below as the USM Valor continues to explode. Use the oxygen
rechargers surrounding the middle doorway in the center of the room if needed.
Find the walkway with the door on the opposite side along the wall then open
the door and step inside the airlock. Allow air to restore then open the next
door.
== Tram Station ==
A Stasis Slasher will step out from the left corner up ahead, so take out the

Whenever Isaac moves further, three Dark Lurkers will attack. Take out the
Force Gun or Flamethrower and hunt them down. They can be quite a nuisance
with all three together and you will need to move quite a bit to avoid their
projectiles, so don't stand on a wooden platform in this room. Retrieve the
++NAV CARD (2/3)++ from the middle wooden platform once the Lurkers have been
defeated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Small Med Pack, [ ] ++NAV CARD++
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that the Lurkers are gone, Isaac can play him some Zero-G Gravity
Basketball (or Z Ball). Hop over to the first wooden platform in front of the
entrance door and interact with the hologram that appears to start a game of Z
Ball.
+ + Z Ball Minigame + +
The object of the game is to use kinesis to grab hold of the ball that appears
in the room then shoot it through one of the four holes in back wall. You must
score 20 points per game to be eligible to move on to the next level. Just
shooting from any platform right away won't cut it for the higher level rounds
however. Search around the room and find the wooden platforms that light up
then jump to each of them. A maximum of three platforms will light up and each
one that Isaac lands on will increase his score multiplier, so he will gain
more points per successful shot. Jump to three glowing platforms to increase
the multiplier then quickly find the ball (grapple it with kinesis) and aim for
one of the back holes in the wall to score then fire it.
The time remaining for each shot will appear as a red hologram timer behind
Isaac. Look for the red glow and keep an eye on that timer to see if you can
afford to jump to another platform or if you should go ahead and take the shot.
The current multiplier obtained will be displayed on the scoreboard in the back
of the room near the set of goals - don't get distracted by the scoreboard
multiplier though, to hell with the current multiplier on the display, just
count the multiplier yourself. Start looking for the ball when the timer
reaches about 10 or 15 seconds. Once the timer has expired, the multiplier
will go back to one and you'll have to jump to more lit up platforms to
increase the multiplier again. The ball will remain in the same spot if you
don't grapple it.
One of the hardest parts of this game for me is finding the ball when I go to
shoot. Listen for the sound it will make when it is nearby and you can usually
find it. Every time a successful shot is made, watch as the ball is shot out
of one of the holes to know where it is for the next shot. Knowing where the
ball is located is one of the most crucial parts of scoring high in this game
since you have to grapple it quickly after building up the multiplier. Before
restarting a game, find the ball each time. With the constant jumping, you'll
loose track of it but it is so very helpful to know if it is in the middle of
the room or near a middle platform for instance.

Level 1 is pretty straightforward - just jump to the multipliers, find the ball
and then shoot for a hole. Level 2 starts to block some of the holes with a
cover so that the ball will bounce off. You'll have to adjust you're strategy
per round when the holes start to cover. For level 2 it is best to stand and
wait for a covered hole to uncover then shoot, but with the following rounds
all holes will sometimes be covered and you will need to shoot at the first
sight of any uncovered holes. Starting with Level 5, the multiplier platforms
will begin to change during the actual game so you will have to jump quicker
and sometimes just simply take a shot with a low multiplier.
NOTE: Even though there are three more reward lockers after level 6 has been
completed, level 6 is the highest level.
Leave the room once you are satisfied then return to the Commons area.
== Zero-G Basketball Locker Room ==
While trying to leave the Zero-G room, a Dark Slasher will fall down from the
ceiling in the Rec Hallway. I would stasis him then shoot off all his
appendages and stomp the torso for making such a sudden ruckus if I were you.
Continue your return to the Recreation Hall.

The room is more lit up. Well, suddenly it will dim again then an Infector
will start infecting bodies and a Dark Slasher will attack. If the Infector
starts to infect a body then run up to him and give him a push with the Force
Gun. Blast the Dark Slasher with whatever weapon of your choice to finish him
off. Buy the Level 5 Suit from the Shop then return to the Recreation Hall.

out the Plasma Cutter and swivel the front to horizontal then shoot off the
tentacles protruding from each pod to easily defeat each one. Remember, the
explosion for a dying pod will not hit Isaac.
There are two --ITEM CONTAINERS on the side walls of this room. Enter the

Alright, now we have to move some bunkers with kinesis. Notice that all of the
bunkers have a kinesis symbol on them showing you that all of them can be moved
with kinesis. While staring at the row up ahead, walk over to the far right
bunker that is against the right wall and grapple it then move it to the right
so it moves out of the wall.
Now grapple the first bunker in front of Isaac and push it toward the right
wall, in the space where the side bunker was pulled out. This will make an
opening where Isaac can move behind the first set of vertical bunkers. Step
behind them and grab the --RUBY SEMICONDUCTOR-- from off to the left.

Grapple the back of the bunker that you moved to get into this area and slide
it back in place where it was before by stepping to the right - this will trap
Isaac in the middle area for now. Turn your attention toward the bunker
against the closest wall to the left (right if turned around) bunkers near the
wall beside the one you just moved and slide each of them to the right (while
facing them) as far as they will go.
Now look toward the next wall of bunkers up ahead and move the first right one
to the right so that is slides against the wall. Move through the opening and
smash the --ITEM BOX-- on the other side.

up ahead will get a little crazy in front Mr. Clarke.
Grab the --RANDOM AMMO-- from up ahead then smash the --ITEM BOX-- off to the
right. There is some more --RANDOM AMMO-- around the other side of the fallen
bunker that blocks the door to the left. There is also a --MEDIUM MED PACK--
near the last ++NAV CARD (3/3)++ in the back right corner. Don't you dare try
to seal off your entrance path to this room with the bunker to the side or
you'll be kicking yourself later... kind of like I did on my first playthrough.

Be sure you're ready to move once you grab the last Nav Card, since --THE

will fall into the room afterward. You might want to defeat the Dark Slasher
very quickly since it is sometimes hard to shoot both of them with stasis.

At this point, you need to run all the way back to the bunkers on the other
side of the room and run through the opening in them that Isaac made by sliding
the middle left bunker out of the way. Make sure that the Regenerator does not
follow you into this area or there will be hell to pay. It is best to stand
outside this area then hit the Regenerator with stasis and then enter the area
behind the bunkers.
For the most part, you now need to redo the bunker sliding puzzle from earlier.
Quickly use kinesis to grapple the bunker up against the right wall then slide
it to the left. Next grapple the two side bunkers on the side wall closest to
Isaac and slide them back to the left. Once the first bunker on the side with
the enemies is slid to the left, the Regenerator cannot interrupt any of the
puzzle solving for the remainder of this puzzle.
Turn around and grapple the first middle bunker to the left then slide it to
the left. This will make an opening to the other side of the room. The
Regenerator will fall through the vent as Isaac leaves the portion of the room
with the bunkers so prepare to shoot him with stasis. Run through the opening
and open the door to the next room then step inside.
== Sleep Block C Commons ==
A Dark Slasher and a Dark Lurker will attack in this room and the Regenerator
will fall through the ceiling then the --SOB OVERRIDE-- database file will play

the Dark Lurker and the Dark Slasher. Another Dark Slasher will attack after
the Lurker and first Dark Slasher have been defeated. Yet another Dark Slasher
will show shortly before the --LOCK BYPASSED-- database file plays to tell

Objective Complete:
[X] Test Fire the Shuttle Engines
A Stasis Slasher will break through the catwalk outside shortly after the
shuttle engine fire. The Regenerator from before will fall down from the
ceiling in the control room and the Stasis Slasher will soon enter the room
from the ceiling as well. Take out the Force Gun and blast them both but focus
more on the Stasis Slasher since they can be killed with the weapon. Leave the
room and the Regenerator will follow. Many Stasis Slashers will appear on the
outside, so take out the Force Gun and blast them back. You can't hit them all
with stasis, so don't even try - the Force Gun works very well by itself.
Based on what you just did and the fact that it is repeatable, I'm sure you
have already figured how to get rid of the Regenerator this time. You need to
stun him in the back of the shuttle (near the back engine). Either blow him
down to nothing to where he has to regenerate or shoot him with stasis (or
both). Either way, stun him to where he is behind the shuttle then quickly run
back into the control room and test fire the shuttle at the controls once again
to finish him off. Sometimes stasis does not keep him paused long enough, so
blast him with the Force Gun or another weapon to where he has to regenerate
while lying in place and that will guarantee that he has to stay behind the
shuttle for some time.
Kyne will show up afterwards and tell Isaac to release the shuttle while he
boards it.
Objective Added:

Objective Added:
[ ] Transfer the Marker
The Marker is being stored in the Cargo Bay of the Flight Deck. I have to

Another !!UPGRADE BENCH!! is off to the left. There is a Pregnant and an

Isaac first entered this area. These can be shot at now or you can wait until
Isaac moves down to their level. It's good to shoot the Exploder from the
current floor, but wait until Isaac reaches the bottom floor before dealing
with the Pregnant. Accidentally shoot its chest and you'll have two Lurkers to
deal with.
Take the lift to the bottom floor. Open the two --ITEM LOCKERS-- up ahead then
find the --RANDOM AMMO-- on the floor near the lift. If you move further down
the catwalk on the current right side, two more --ITEM LOCKERS-- will be in the
next area along with a container containing a --POWER NODE-- on the left wall.
There is some --RANDOM AMMO-- on the catwalk off to the left. The catwalk off

Walk over to the controls next to the area with the item boxes and initiate the
command to retrieve the cargo. The Marker will be lifted up onto the cargo
tracks. Isaac will have to move the Marker along the cargo tracks using
kinesis.
Don't even try to grapple the Marker at first. A Pregnant and two Slashers
will dash down the catwalk further ahead. An Exploder and another Slasher will
appear on your current side, so be sure to look around your current area often!
If you try to move down the catwalk toward the Pregnant and Slashers then a
Tentacle will appear from the gap on the right side and slap Isaac.
You'll need to stay on your current side and fight off the enemies with
whatever weapon of your choosing. The Force Gun works great on the majority of
them except for the Exploder. Once the enemies are defeated, move along the
middle catwalk and get the Tentacle to show itself by stepping near it along
the catwalk then blast it in its yellow portion with the Pulse Rifle or Plasma
Cutter to cut it in half. The best way to make it stand still is to move
toward it then back away as it tries to crush Isaac. Keep stepping toward it
and away from it while shooting to keep it from moving back into the gap.
Stasis does not work against it.
Don't worry about the Marker right now. Move on down the middle catwalk and
eliminate the second Tentacle that will appear along the right side of the
catwalk. Return to the Marker once it is defeated and grapple it then move it
to the right and then walk over to the other side and pull it to the right
while stepping down the middle catwalk. You need to slide it all the way to
the other end.
Just by moving the Marker to the first right corner, a pair of Dark Slashers
will appear on your side and another Pregnant and more Slashers will appear on
the other side of the middle catwalk. Thankfully, no more enemies will bother
Isaac as he moves toward the other side. Grapple the Marker and slide it all
the way to the wall on the other side and the platform will rise and deliver it
to the Hangar Bay.
Objective Complete:
[X] Transfer the Marker
The --MARKER TRANSFERRED-- database file will be received. A Dark Slasher, a
Slasher, a Pregnant and a Lurker will attack from the side catwalks. Run
toward a corner room and fight them off from inside. The Force Gun or Line Gun
will be your best option here. Don't move onto another catwalk besides the
middle catwalk since a Tentacle will attack from the gap below the two side
catwalks.

Right when everything looks nice and quiet while on your way to the Hangar Bay,

I have to move the Marker along the loading tracks and position it

The good doctor wants us to load the Marker onto the ship from the bottom floor
of the Hangar. There is just one little thing that we need to do up here
though. The all-great "Peng Treasure" is nearby. The Peng Treasure is near
the entrance to the Hangar Bay in between the two walkways in this area. Look
off the right walkway, as you're facing the closed door that the shuttle came
through, and move along the walkway to see a small golden statue in the middle
are between the two walkways - a spotlight shines down on this section. Equip
the Plasma Cutter then walk against the railing so that Isaac's aim can focus
on it then simply grapple it with kinesis and collect the --PENG TREASURE--.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST

So what does the Peng Treasure do? Well, it will give you the "There's Always

can also be sold at a Store for 30,000 credits. Move back into the entrance
area then open the door to Runway 2.
If you have difficulty grappling the Peng Treasure then you can wait for the
gravity to be deactivated in this area and then collect it afterwards. At that
time, the railings along the side of the walkway will sink into the grooves

Wow, that's a bunch of item collecting there, so hop to it. When you're done,
return to the Marker. The Marker must be moved along the tracks with kinesis
and the controls must be used along certain portions of the tracks in order to
move it further. You'll have to get along the side of the Marker and drag it
in order to move it, so move to either side with the gray metal casing then
grapple it and pull it out of the alcove.
No enemies yet. Run over to the first set of controls by the yellow border
along the track then interact with them to rotate the border so that the Marker
can be move into the square. Get on either side so that Isaac is facing the
inside Marker then grapple it and move to the first square in the middle of the
tracks. You'll have to move the Marker over to the side across from the square
and then run back to the controls and rotate the square to rotate the border
and allow the Marker to slide to the other side of the tracks.
Hmm, still no enemies. Grapple the Marker and move it onto the square again.
The yellow border should now allow it onto the tracks on other side of the room
so move it all the way to the next square. Two Dark Stingers will attack along
the way, so listen for the battle music to begin then let go of the Marker and
fight them off. The red explosive canister below the shuttle can be grappled
with kinesis and launched at them in order to damage them, but it really
doesn't help out that much.
You'll need to interact with the controls near the next yellow border to rotate

once the Marker is moved onto the square. Simply move the Marker under the

Nicole's alive! I don't know how she tracked me here, and I don't care.
Kendra betrayed me, this whole time, she was some kind of covert agent.
She's murdered Kyne and taken the Marker and the Shuttle. If Nicole can
help me get the Marker back, I still might be able to end this nightmare.
Oh! Ohoho! It seems a new person has just been added to the very top of Isaac's
"People to stomp" list. If you want, you can take out your aggression on the
body left behind on the walkway. It's a little wrong really, but I won't tell
anyone how cruel you are. Step back through the Control Room Catwalk area.
The door beside the gravity control panel is now unlocked, so open it.

A most pleasing --TERRIBLE MISTAKE-- database file will be received shortly
after overriding the shuttle controls and another objective will be added.
Objective Added:
[ ] Fly the Shuttle to the Colony
Nicole is completely driven to return the Marker to the Colony. If we can
continue with Kyne's plan, and use it to trap the Hive Mind, we just might
be able to survive this. Together.
Once the shuttle docks in the Hangar Bay outside, the !!SAVE STATION!! in the
current room will activate. You'll have to wait if you want to save here.
Simply move through Control Room A then through the catwalk area afterwards to
return to the Hangar Bay. Enter the other catwalk area then reenter the Runway

There is a group of Dark Stingers out on the walkway ahead. They will enter
the room where Isaac is, but they don't seem to want to attack in the room very
much - they back off from the room and move back out to the walkway. Take out
the Line Gun or Plasma Cutter then blast them when they land near Isaac. Since
they are at such a long distance at first, force grenades works well against
them also.
Step out onto the walkway then board the ship by moving up the ramp. Open the

While Isaac is standing on the ramp, Nicole will give him the next few
objectives.
Objective Added:
[ ] Bring the Loader to the Shuttle
I need a mobile loading platform to move the Marker. There should be one
attached to the track somewhere around here.
[ ] Open the Supply Depot Door
I'll have to drag the Marker through the colony. The door to the Supply
Depot is offline. I need to find a Power Cell to get it working again.
Move off the ramp then run toward the wall directly ahead. Look off to the
right to catch sight of an --ITEM BOX--. Turn to the left and move ahead then
you'll eventually see a metal platform with some luggage off to the right and
another --ITEM BOX-- lying among the luggage. Another --ITEM BOX-- is on a
metal platform further ahead on the same side. There is an --ITEM CONTAINER--
on the wall of the building off to the left further ahead.

The loader is right next to Nicole. Stand on one side of it then grapple the
loader with kinesis and pull it back toward the shuttle. Pull it as far along
the tracks as you can and the control panel near the shuttle will light up
blue. Walk over to the controls and choose to activate the loader and the
Marker will placed on the loader.
Objective Complete:
[X] Bring the Loader to the Shuttle
Objective Added:
[ ] Take the Marker to Pedestal Site
Nicole said something about a Pedestal Chamber. I need to bring the Marker
there and plug it back into the pedestal somehow. According to Dr. Kyne,
that should trap the Hive Mind back into the core of the planet. Kendra
had said that the Marker was responsible for starting the necromorph
infection. Somehow it must have the power to also contain the creatures.
Grapple the loader with the Marker on it and slide it back toward Nicole. Pull
it over the electrical portion of the track and it will sink into place beside
the large door. Don't step in the electricity on the track on accident or it
will electrocute Isaac. Notice the power plug without any power on the side
wall. Enter the Control Room Barracks building to the left.

If you look through the left side of the glass inside the room across from the
one Isaac just exited, then you can see the power unit for the power plug
inside. There are two Infectors in that room though, and you're currently in a
room filled with dead bodies. Walk around the current room and smash all
appendages off of every dead body.
Open the door to the next room then fight off the two Infectors that attack.
Step inside the Gravity Tether Computer Room where they were and smash the
three --ITEM BOXES-- then open the door and grapple the power unit with kinesis
then bring it outside. Open the entrance door that leads outside and carry the
power unit out the door to the Landing Pad area.
== Landing Pad ==
A Divider is out here now so shoot him with stasis and blow off an appendage
then quickly switch over to the Force Gun and blast the Crawlers that he splits
into. Grapple the power unit then walk over to the power plug and plug it in.
The big door to the Supply Depot will open.
Objective Complete:
[X] Open the Supply Depot Door
Grapple the Marker with kinesis and move it along the track while headed for
either unlocked door along the side of the Supply Depot door. Open the door
then grapple the Marker from the other side and continue to pull it into the
Gravity Tether Operations A room - it doesn't matter which walkway Isaac steps
onto. Use the controls on either side of the room to lock the door behind the
Marker then the door in front of the Marker will open. Grapple the Marker then
pull it into the next room. Open the door and walk inside.
== Gravity Tether Operations A ==
Before you do anything in this room, collect all the items. There are two
--RANDOM AMMO-- pickups on the right side and two --ITEM CONTAINERS-- along the
wall on the left side. Check the top of the organic fleshy tentacle along the
left side of the room from where you enter and grapple the --MEDIUM MED PACK--
on top of it then pull it down. If you look off the side of the railing by the
fleshy tentacle, you'll also see some --RANDOM AMMO-- on the floor below the
nearby bridge that can be grappled with the kinesis module. There is also a
stasis recharger on both sides of this room, so be sure to keep these in mind.

You might as well get the big enemy fight over with before you mess with the
Marker. Walk further into the room to trigger a quarantine. Find a corner and
stay there then survey the room as a Dark Slasher attacks followed by more Dark
Slashers and a few Lurkers. An Exploder will appear soon enough followed by
even more Dark Slashers. The Force Gun works well for this area until the
Exploders appear. Shoot the Exploders with stasis if you have to in order to
keep them from attacking while close to them. You need to take out the Pulse
Rifle or Plasma Cutter to deal with the Exploder. If at all possible, shoot
his explosive appendage while other enemies are around him.
More Dark Slashers, Lurkers and Exploders will pile into the room then they
will eventually stop, yet the quarantine will remain in place! Keep in mind
that you just endured the worst part of the quarantine however. Find the two
--ITEM BOXES-- along the right side of the room then smash them. You can also
go ahead and find the --RUBY SEMICONDUCTOR-- along the left side of the back
portion of the room. The second wave of necromorphs will not attack until the
Marker is moved a bit.

Run back to the Marker and pull it toward the bridge beside it then use the
controls along the side to raise the bridge. Once the bridge is raised,
quickly grapple the Marker and pull it through the tracks below the bridge.
The bridge will fall back down but the Marker will keep it from closing if you
pull the Marker fast enough. Keep moving the Marker further along the track
until it bangs against the second bridge along the side. You'll have to run to
the other side and raise the bridge then pull the Marker under the bridge once
again.
Two Lurkers will appear soon, so prepare to let go of the Marker then fight
them off. Continue to move the Marker toward the far side then get on the
other side of it and pull it to the left side of this room. You'll see that
the far side only has a sealed door, but there is locked door with a big door
and track to the side of it along the left side. You'll need to pull the
Marker toward another bridge then lift the bridge with the controls and slide
the Marker under it once again. Pull the Marker as far as it will go.
Four Exploders will appear around the room eventually, so take out the Plasma
Cutter or Pulse Rifle then aim at their explosive appendages quickly and then
shoot them so they can't get to Isaac. If one gets too close then shoot him
with stasis and run away. There are two stasis rechargers on this side of the
room as well. The quarantine placed on this room will lift after the final
Exploder is finished.
Once the quarantine is lifted, find the Power Node room in the very back of
this big room. It is directly across from either of the doors that Isaac
enters this area from. It is ONLY accessible after the quarantine lifts.
Place a Power Node in the slot on the door and grab the ten pickups of --RANDOM
AMMO-- inside along with the --MEDIUM MED PACK-- then exit the room.

Don't allow the middle door to the next room to open before Isaac steps through
one of the side doors or the Spawners inside will get the best of you by laying
pods all around their area. They are on the right side of the next room on
both sides of the door to the right. Open one of the side doors then charge
into the next room and shoot one with stasis then spam the other with force
grenades from the Force Gun. Once one falls, quickly take down the other with
force grenades. This battle can get ugly if you allow them to react as the
middle doors opens in the prior room. The --RESTORE POWER-- database file will
be received once Isaac enters this room.

I don't know where Nicole went, but she said I need to restore power to the
bridges. There's a zero-g maintenance tube nearby that should have a power
grid inside.
There are four --ITEM LOCKERS-- off to the left and a --RANDOM AMMO-- pickup
off to the right at the entrance portion to this room. If you look in between
the middle set of railings, there is a --RANDOM AMMO-- pickup on the floor
below, so grapple it with kinesis to collect it. There is a

The bridges in this room cannot be used at the moment since they lack power, so
moving the Marker is out of the question at the moment. Open the door in
between the dead Spawners on the right side of room.
== Gravity Tube ==
Isaac will enter a zero gravity tube. Grapple the --ITEM BOX-- floating up
ahead then smash it. Walk into the tube ahead. Find the --ITEM CONTAINER-- on
the left wall beside the entrance door then open it. Be careful about moving
too much to the side, I wouldn't want my reader getting motion sickness.

A Dark Stinger will attack from up ahead. You'll quickly learn that it can be
quite hard to fight an enemy in this narrow space. Shoot him with stasis to
slow him down then use the Plasma Cutter or Line Gun to finish him. Grapple
the --ITEM BOX-- above the fan ahead then break it. Prepare to fight the Dark
Lurker as it comes into view by shooting it with stasis as it reveals its
appendages to attack then simply blow them off with a Plasma Cutter.

Pulling the lever downward will restore power to the fans in the tube as well.
Jump back up into the tube on the ceiling then carefully hop through the
railings up ahead. Target the middle of the fan then shoot it with stasis.
Run through the fan - the blades will not hurt Isaac as long as stasis is in
effect. Continue around the corner of the tube then get ready for a battle.
A Dark Stinger and two Dark Lurkers will attack in the middle of the tube.
Stasis the Dark Stinger and try to take him down first with the Line Gun then
turn your attention toward the Dark Lurkers. Try to get rid of one as soon as
possibly since they are deadly in pairs in this narrow tube. The items from
the enemies will get blown back to the end of the tunnel if you let them get
away so grapple them toward Isaac if you have to.
Continue down the tube after the battle then shoot the middle of the next fan
with stasis and pass through it. Move all the way back to the entrance of the
tube then step back through the door at the end.
== Gravity Tether Core ==
A Dark Brute will be standing on the other side of the left bridge awaiting
Isaac's return, so prepare to shoot him with stasis as he runs toward Isaac
then get in the back of him with the Contact Beam and cut off his legs. He
will leave behind a --POWER NODE--. Be sure to recharge Isaac's stasis at the
stasis recharger on the other side of the room.

Now, let's get down to business. Walk over to the Marker then lift the bridge
next to it via the controls that are now online. Pull the Marker under the
bridge. Pull it further over then raise the next bridge and continue moving
the Marker. Move it all the way into the Gravity Tether Operations B room.
Enter the room yourself then pull the Marker into the middle. Use the controls
to lock the door behind the Marker then the next set of doors in the middle and
door along the track will open.

A loud scream of a really big nearby enemy just asking for a gravity boot stomp
from Mr. Clarke can be heard as Isaac enters this new area.
Collect the --POWER NODE-- and smash the --ITEM BOX-- on the right side of the
room then open the two --ITEM CHESTS-- further ahead. Find the --RANDOM AMMO--
near a dead body. If you stand to the side of the first bridge, closest to the
body with the ammo, you can see some --RANDOM AMMO-- on the floor below across
from the side with the Marker, so grapple it with kinesis to collect it. Open
the --ITEM CONTAINER-- near the vent on the left side then smash the --ITEM

Now that everything is collected, let us perform the Marker dragging. Grapple
the Marker and bring it toward the first bridge then lift the bridge and pull
it underneath the bridge. I sometimes have some problems getting the Marker
under this bridge, so if you do as well, then move the Marker back to the other
side and try again. Pull the Marker to the far side then open either door and
step into the next area.
You know what to do in the next area. Pull the Maker toward the next door then
use the controls to shut the door behind it. The next set of doors will open
so walk outside to the Excavation Site.

This area right here can get a little bad at times with the different types of
enemies that show up all at once. First of all, three Tentacles will appear
along the bridge tracks that extend toward the far side up ahead. Blast the
first Tentacle in the yellow portion with the Pulse Rifle. A Stasis Slasher, a
Dark Lurker and a Dark Slasher will appear from the sides of this area - they
move through the vents. Take out the Force Gun and deal with the Stasis
Slasher first of all as it charges toward Isaac. Use stasis and the Line Gun
or Plasma Cutter against the other two.
The enemies seem to appear after each Tentacle has been destroyed, so focus on
one Tentacle at a time then turn to face the next wave of enemies that appear.
Each wave consists of Dark Slashers, Dark Lurkers and Stasis Slashers and they
all move out of the vents around the entrance, so don't ever leave your back
turned toward the entrance for too long.
You'll have to move along the middle walkway to shoot at the last Tentacle.
Grapple the Marker once the enemies stop coming then move it toward the
Excavation Site at the other end of the tracks. Stop about halfway, once Isaac
reaches the room surrounded by windows in the middle then turn and face the
right side of that room and grapple the --RANDOM AMMO-- on the ledge to the
left of it with your kinesis to pull it toward Isaac.

Open the door ahead. There is an --ITEM CONTAINER-- on the left wall and a

Alright, we are back in the room right near the Landing Pad. Make any last
minute item decisions then save your game. Buy a lot of Plasma Energy or Pulse
Rifle ammo if you need it. A bit of Force Gun ammo wouldn't hurt either. Use
all Power Nodes at the upgrade bench. When you're ready, step outside.
NOTE: If you walk into the Gravity Tether Control Room, you can look through
the windows and see the layout of the Item Boxes and explosive canisters for
the boss fight ahead.
== Landing Pad ==
Move to the right and stomp both --ITEM BOXES-- to the side before stepping
past the two large crates. Once Isaac moves toward the ship a slight cutscene
will trigger. The cutscene will lead into the final boss fight of the game!
SPECIAL NOTE: From the side of the large crate, Isaac can actually grapple all
five item boxes and bash them on the ground then collect the items before the
cutscene for the boss fight begins. Your kinesis may have to be upgraded
enough to reach the back item boxes. Don't move too far beyond the crate or
the cutscene for the final boss fight will trigger.
Boss - Hive Mind
Recommended Weapons:
Pulse Rifle
Plasma Cutter
Force Gun (for Pregnants)
Wow, what a boss! Sadly, Kendra's remains are nowhere to be found, so we can't
toss them at the Hive Mind.
There are a total of six --ITEM BOXES-- around the area - use kinesis or simply
wait for the Hive Mind to break them open with its tentacles since stomping
them leaves Isaac open to attacks. The Hive Mind has only one basic attack for
the moment. It will try to smash Isaac with one of its tentacles. Simply run
to one of the sides (right or left) whenever it leans back to avoid the
tentacle smash. Whenever it smashes the floor, it will roar, and that is when
it leaves itself wide open to attack.
You can easily pick out its weak spots represented by the yellow explosive
appendages around its mouth. Wait for it to smash the ground then dodge the
attack by running to the side and then shoot its yellow appendages with the
Pulse Rifle or Plasma Cutter. It pays to weaken them all at once instead of
shooting off a few. You see, the Hive Mind will grab Isaac once only two
yellow appendages remain.
Once the Hive Mind picks up Isaac, you will have to aim with Isaac's right arm
while Isaac is upside down and blow off the last two appendages. Use the Pulse
Rifle or the Plasma Cutter to shoot the remaining appendages. Much like when
one of the other tentacles in the Ishimura pulled Isaac, your aiming will reset
every time that it pulls Isaac closer. If the remaining appendages are not
blown off before Isaac reaches the Hive Mind's mouth then a long death sequence
will play. The Hive Mind will drop Isaac after all appendages around its mouth
have been destroyed.
Oh, you've done it now. Now the Hive Mind will send out two Pregnants to
attack eventually. Take out the Force Gun and aim upwards while approaching
the Pregnants then blast them. Try to get rid of them quickly since the Hive
Mind will start its attacks while they are on the platform. The Hive Mind will
actually kill the Pregnants if it smashes them, so you could actually focus on
dodging its smashes and allow it to kill its own allies.
The Hive Mind has two attacks now, but you can cancel one of them. When it
leans back and holds up a tentacle, it is about to smash the floor with a
tentacle, so run to one of the sides (right or left) to avoid it. Try to make
sure that you stay on one side throughout the battle, so you can simply run to
the other when it performs its ground smash attack. It will perform two ground
smashes in a row, so run to one side and wait for the first smash to miss then
quickly change direction and run to the other side. Sometimes it will perform
this move twice in a row for a total of four smashes, so be sure to watch for
it to hold up a tentacle then react quickly.
It will also lean back and shoot out acid pods at Isaac. These can be grappled
with kinesis but they are much harder to grapple than the Leviathan or Brute's
acid pods since it shoots them in different directions. The Hive Mind will
also showcase its weak point in the form of five glowing appendages inside a
hole in its chest whenever it leans back to fire out a pod. The appendages are
covered by a rib cage at all other times. Instead of worrying about preparing
to dodge the pod attack when it leans back, take out the Pulse Rifle or Plasma
Cutter and shoot at one of the yellow appendages in its open chest. Once one
of them explodes, this action will cancel the acid pod spit and it will go back
to the tentacle smashes. Its patterns are very easy and if you have some good
aim with the Pulse Rifle, then you won't even have to worry about grabbing pods
with kinesis. It will sometimes send out more Pregnants if you don't shoot the
yellow appendages, so be sure to aim for the appendages whenever it opens its
chest to reveal them while it prepares its acid pod attack.
Destroy all five of the yellow appendages inside the Hive Mind's chest and it
will fall over then fall into the pit below it. Don't stand near it when it
first falls over since it can fall on Isaac and damage him. Step onto the ramp
that leads to the shuttle and the ending cutscene will play.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Item Box, [ ] Item Box, [ ] Item Box, [ ] Item Box, [ ] Item Box, [ ] Item
Box
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you get on the ramp that leads up to the shuttle, there may be an --ITEM
BOX-- right near it - this can help out for your next game if it is there so
destroy it and collect its contents. This particular item box sometimes gets
shoved to the side because of the Hive Mind's tentacles.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM LIST
[ ] Item Box
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: You can wait around as long as you want to before boarding the shuttle
once the Hive Mind is finished. I've actually just finished cleaning the
entire deck by shooting off all appendages into the pit below and Isaac is
still alive and standing while I type this, so I have a feeling that the time
to board the ship is infinite. Take some extra time to clean the Pregnant
appendage trash off the deck then board the shuttle! Make it whole again
before you leave, Isaac. Make it whole.
The ending credits will play following the ending cutscene. Be sure to save
your clear file to a slot after the ending credits to have a "New Game+" file!
Here is a list of the rewards that you will unlock on your first playthrough:
Military Suit Unlocked
Backstory Logs Unlocked
500000 Credits Awarded
10 Power Nodes Awarded
Impossible Mode Unlocked
The "Backstory Logs" are the last 6 logs for Chapter 12 and they will appear in
Isaac's log database in a New Game+ playthrough. The Military Suit will appear
as a Schematic in a New Game+ playthrough. All other bonuses are received in a
New Game+ playthrough as well. Impossible difficulty can be accessed through a
New Game, but if you turn off your console, you must reload the current New
Game+ file and quit that game then start a New Game and the difficulty will
appear.

Don't Get Cocky Kid
===================
Details: Survive the ADS Cannon with over 50% shield strength remaining
Reward: Bronze Trophy (PS3)
10G (Xbox 360)
Extra Info: This can be pretty hard depending on how well your aiming is. The
cannon minigame is part of the main game and you will play through this near
the end of Chapter 4. You have to destroy enough asteroids so that the ship's
hull shield still has 50% of its shield strength remaining when Isaac steps
away from the chair. The ship's hull strength will always start at 85%.
TIPS (for maintaining 50% of the shield):
01) Understand that most of the time, you are at the game's mercy for asteroid
placement. Sometimes asteroids will come at the ship with completely
unforgiving speed and patterns. Some patterns are easier than others.
02) At the beginning, start shooting the asteroids as early as possible. Watch
for any movement then aim and shoot. Always do this whenever asteroids first
appear if there are not any nearby.
03) When firing, either go for a single shot or hold down on both shoulder
buttons. You can actually sweep through an entire group while holding down on
both shoulder buttons.
04) Overheating is not the end of the world if it happens when asteroids are
not nearby. Keep aiming at the closest approaching asteroid so you can blast
it the second that the cannon cools down.
05) Try not to aim all the way up, down, right or left since you'll likely
allow asteroids to creep up on you while doing this - the cannon will block a
portion of the outside area while aiming like this.
06) Big asteroids and fast asteroids are the main priority. Hold down on both
shoulder buttons while aiming at a big asteroid to destroy it along with the
little asteroids that it breaks into.
07) If you see a single asteroid on one side and a group of asteroids on the
other side, turn your attention toward the group of asteroids.
08) When an asteroid is extremely close, and you are not aiming at any current
asteroids, quickly move the cannon in its direction and hold both shoulder
buttons to hopefully blast it. This can sometimes save you from a big
asteroid.
09) If an asteroid is extremely close to any side then don't aim at it unless
it is near a group of asteroids or there is no nearby approaching asteroids to
shoot. Side asteroids sometimes don't hit or they do very little damage.
10) Do not look at the shield gauge strength. Once again, DO NOT LOOK AT THE
SHIELD GAUGE STRENGTH or this distraction will cost you greatly! Listen for
the words that tell you that the hull integrity is below 50% then look. There
might be a slight chance that it is at 50%, so you might still be just barely
hanging on.
11) Make the save file at the save station beside the cannon is your first save
file, so you can reload quicker. If your gauge ever gets below 50% then quite
your current game and reload your nearby save immediately.
12) If you start to get frustrated, keep this current save on your list of
files and move on with the rest of the game for a while then simply reload this
game later when you cool down. You need to be completely focused (in the zone)
to earn this accomplishment and not ready to throw a controller.
13) At the beginning, fire a shot directly toward the middle of the screen and
the light from the shot will reflect off of some of the distant asteroids to
let you know where they are.
14) Enter the options menu and turn the brightness all the way up and this will
make it easier to see the asteroids against the dark background.

Extra Info: The Flamethrower works the best against Lurkers but you can also
use it against Slashers for some good results. It's best to shoot with the
secondary fire flame shot and allow it to burn the enemy then shoot another
secondary fire flame shot. Only shoot a flame shot early if the enemy tries to
move too much - the first spread of flames will usually stagger them.

========
Details: Dismember 20 Limbs
Reward: Bronze Trophy (PS3)
5G (Xbox 360)
Extra Info: What...? Are you simply not killing anything? Freezing all
enemies with stasis and then running by them or just simply hauling ass through
rooms? This will be received after 20 enemies limbs have been cut or stomped
off your enemies. It's actually harder avoiding this one than receiving it.

One Gun
=======
Details: Beat the game using only the Plasma Cutter
Reward: Gold Trophy (PS3)
40G (Xbox 360)
Extra Info: Only use the Plasma Cutter throughout the entire game.
This can be done on a New Game+ playthrough or any new game. Difficulty does
not matter. Using stasis, kinesis, killing enemies with physical attacks,
explosive canisters, and reverse gravity plates - none of this counts against
this accomplishment. You can equip other weapons but you CANNOT fire any
weapon other than your Plasma Cutter. Take the other weapons out of your
inventory since you'll receive more Plasma Energy pickups by doing this.
I recommend attempting this task on a New Game+ where:
a) You have hoarded a bunch of Plasma Energy and Med Kits in the safe.
b) You still have a bunch of credits left over.
c) You start with a fully upgraded Plasma Cutter, fully upgraded life meter and
fully upgraded stasis.

awarded.
=============
Playing Catch
=============
Details: Catch a Brute or Leviathan Pod using Kinesis
Reward: Bronze Trophy (PS3)
10G (Xbox 360)
Extra Info: Simply catch an acid pod that either a Brute or the Chapter 6
Leviathan boss fires at Isaac. A Brute will only perform this attack from long
distance. If you cut off one of his legs then get far away from him then he
will most likely perform this attack. The Hive Mine at the end of Chapter 12
shoots out acid pods as well that can be grappled and tossed back but receiving
this achievement from the other two enemies is much easier.
======
Pusher
======
Details: 30 enemies with the Force Gun
Reward: Bronze Trophy (PS3)
10G Kill (Xbox 360)
Extra Info: The Force Gun works well on just about any enemy, so this shouldn't
be that hard. Remember to get close to an enemy while using it or use its
force grenades from a distance.
=============
Ragdoll Check
=============
Details: Force an enemy into a Gravity Panel 5 times
Reward: Bronze Trophy (PS3)
5G (Xbox 360)
Extra Info: The gravity panels are mainly located in Chapter 4. They are
glowing panels where gravity has been reversed and anything that touches these
will be splattered against the ceiling. To force an enemy into these panels
hit them stasis and walk against them to push them into it or knock them back
with a Force Gun primary blast. The bad thing about using the Force Gun is
that the blast might kill them however. Sometimes enemies simply walk into a
gravity panel - this will count toward the accomplishment! Even though it is
highly amusing, tossing dead enemy bodies into a gravity panel does not count
toward this accomplishment.

Slugger
=======
Details: Kill the Slug Boss with more than 50% shield strength remaining
Reward: Bronze Trophy (PS3)
10G (Xbox 360)
Extra Info: The Slug boss is fought at the end of Chapter 8. In order to get
this achievement, defend the ship so that is has over 50% of its hull shield
remaining once the Slug is defeated. Basically, focus on one tentacle at a
time right at the beginning and struggle to take out at least three tentacles
while defending the ship only minimally from thrown objects. Once the Slug is
down to two tentacles, you can easily focus on defeating them while still
defending the ship. Keep in mind that if you shoot one of the tentacles in the
yellow portion while it is leaning over to grab an object then it will rise up
once again. The fact that the shield's hull strength starts out at 100% makes
this accomplishment much easier to obtain when compared to the "Don't get
cocky, kid" accomplishment.

walkways next to where the shuttles dock in the Hangar Bay. The Peng treasure
is a gold statue. Simply look between the Hangar Bay railings and grapple it
with kinesis to bring it toward Isaac then collect it. You can also wait until
after gravity is deactivated in the Hangar Bay and this will remove the
railings making the treasure even easier to collect. This treasure can
actually be seen in Chapter 1, but Isaac does not have kinesis then.

PERSONAL LOG
DR. KYNE, T. (CHIEF SCIENCE OFFICER)
The vidlogs from the colony are poor quality but the artifact does indeed
appear to be a genuine Marker, the first to be found in Unitology's two hundred
year history. I'm eager to get it on board the ship so I can study it
properly.
The potential here is enormous. Not just for me personally, though it's true
I've dreamed of such a discovery for decades. But also to humanity, and the
Church of Unitology in particular.
This Marker could herald the dawn of a new age for mankind, and I will do my
part to ensure it comes to pass. I know the Church will be grateful but the
true recognition will come from all of humanity. On this day, we are blessed.

MEDICAL LOG
DR. WARWICK, B (CHIEF PSYCH OFFICER)
REPORT OF PSYCHIATRIC OBSERVATION PATIENT: HARRIS, B. (Employee #PM-19026-EH)
Harris is asleep, after another strong sedative. He seems literally unable to
sleep without chemical aid. Most people succumb to exhaustion after 50+ hours
of waking regardless of any desire to stay awake. Not Harris.
His explanation of events on the colony is also odd, and points to the same
paranoia we've seen elsewhere planetside. His guilt is not in doubt--two
planetside security officers were present when he took Dr. Sciarello hostage
and murdered Nurse Evans--and he doesn't deny his actions. But he insists
there was no crime, nor does he feel guilt.
This is classic sociopathic behavior, but Harris exhibits no other symptoms.
He is affable and friendly, able to empathize and offer original opinions.
When questioned about the murder, however, he becomes withdrawn and
intransigent, displaying schizophrenic behavior. He also undergoes
intermittent hallucinatory periods, again similar to those experienced by other
colonists.
Harris claims he threatened the Doctor because he "had to stop the dreams and
the faces, and that he'll kill again to "Make it whole again". What that
means, I haven't determined yet. A most intriguing case.

Further to our previous conversation, I ask that you delay bringing the Marker
up from the planet for a day or two.
You know I'm as keen as anyone to study it in detail, and I understand your
sense of urgency given the events on the colony, but that's why I ask--what's
happening down there is just too unique, too unprecedented, to cut it short
without proper time to study the causes and effects.
In light of a discussion I had with Dr. Mercer, I'd like to meet with Drs.
Sciarello and Welland planetside to get their observations.

REPORT OF DEATH ON SHIP
SUBJECT: CAPTAIN MATHIUS, B.
It is my sad duty to officially pronounce Captain Benjamin Mathius dead.
Reports of the exact circumstances surrounding his death are conflicted, and
beyond the scope of my role. I can only report on the body.
The subject was in generally good health for his age, though a cursory blood
test indicates his leukocyte count was very low, with eosinophils in particular
almost nonexistent. His preflight physical exam showed no such problems,
indicating rapid onset; however, it is unlikely this had any effect on his
death.
Multiple contusions on the arms and hands, indicating a brief struggle pre-
mortem. Slight contusion around the ribcage, suggesting his chest was
restrained in some way. Cause of death was a single prolonged trauma to the
ocular body which continued on through the cavity wall, and finally into the
frontal lobe, causing rapid neurotrauma, seizure and death.
The force required to puncture the ocular cavity in this manner is great, and
the possibility of self-infliction correspondingly low.
I therefore have no alternative but to record a preliminary verdict of UNLAWFUL
DEATH. Whether deliberate or accidental is beyond my jurisdiction.

The unidentified growth seen in other parts of the ship has now reached

cut it up, which is pretty disgusting in itself.
It's already in the engine spoke, and if we can't find a way to stop it soon,
it'll hit the main chamber by the day after tomorrow. I hope the docs are

CHEM LAB REPORT

ATTN: DR. CROSS, E.
Elizabeth -
No doubt you're aware of the organic growth found in some parts of the ship.
I've been examining the substance and thought the results would interest you.
The cells most closely resemble bacteria, with viral behavior. Like bacteria,
the organism infects other cells through osmosis, then mutates and reproduces
agamogenetically.
What's amazing is the SPEED at which it grows. A single bacterium reproduces
twenty-fold in just one minute. I've never seen anything like it. I won't
stake my reputation on it, but I think this may be a genuine alien lifeform!
Prof. Hawley theorizes that it's a habitat transformer--the levels of gaseous
output are tremendous, which is why it smells so bad--but to what end we simply
don't know. I'll keep you posted.

Planetcrack went smoothly from this end, although there do seem to have been

First rockball was extracted from the tectonic load approximately one hour
after planetcrack, and has been processed, refined and smelted.
Results have exceeded even optimistic initial estimates. Normal recovery is
around 35% mineral, 5% fossil, 60% waste, but material from the first ball was
65% mineral (and 0% fossil, in line with expectations). That's 6.5 tons of ore
from a 10-ton ball. Assuming it's not an anomaly, we've hit a motherlode.

UNITED WE... ASCEND?
Is Unitology a new hope, or just another scam?
By Carrie Van Ottken
If you've been living on Mars for the past 200 years, you might have missed the
fastest-growing religious movement in history.
Unitology boasts a following of millions, counts powerful CEO's and officials
in its ranks, claims $78 billion of stock multiglobal companies, and owns two
of Earth's largest financial institutions (GPSG Financial and Unitas Energy
Investments). From its beginnings as a cult of personality, Unitology has
become a respected, established religion. Most people know the basics. Two
hundred years ago Michael Altman, a professor of anthropology, blew the whistle
on what he claimed was the biggest cover-up ever instituted by Earth
Government--the discovery of an artifact, or "Marker", which proved beyond any
doubt there is alien life in the Universe. The Government labeled Altman a
kook, but his claims struck a chord with some, and his mysterious death soon
afterwards fueled that interest.
Unitologists believe the Marker contained a code, the key to eternal life,
through rebirth and ascension to heaven (the kicker is you have to die first).
They say the Government is hiding the Marker somewhere, keeping its secrets for
themselves. Across all of human space, Unitologists praise Altman's martyrdom
and await the day God comes to take them to their new life beyond death. It
all sounds pretty harmless. But, like any cult, there's a dark side.
Unitologists are "ranked" in the Church. Nobody ever talks about it, but most
of its critics believe there are at least three ranks above the average
believer, or "initiate". With each new rank, more of the Church's inner
workings and research is revealed to a follower. And these ranks are achieved
by one simple criteria--giving money and power to the Church.
Think taking all your money's bad? The Church also requires members to donate
their bodies after death. Why? What do they do with them? Nobody will say,
and attempts to infiltrate the inner circle have failed. With their emphasis
on "transformation and rebirth", maybe we wouldn't like the answer even if they
told us.
One rumor that also refuses to die says the Church is funding a secret
shipbuilding program. Some claim to have seen the fleet. No documentary
evidence has ever been supplied, but the claimants all say these "mausoleum
ships", despite their huge size

--> Unitology Exposed
(Excerpts from THE FALSE MESSIAH, a book banned on Earth and most colonies)
A RELIGION IS BORN
When Michael Altman went public with his research on the Black Marker, the
world was teetering on the brink of self-destruction. Many people, myself
included, felt civilization was at an end. We couldn't change the world by
ourselves and most of us didn't want to. What Altman offered us, this chance
at a rebirth from humanity, was exactly what our hungry souls were looking for.
Practically overnight, our hope for humanity was renewed. Millions flocked to
his conferences to hear him profess to know the way to a new beginning. We
stared in awe at the evidence of the alien artifact that would change
everything. And we did whatever he told us to.
We rallied against the government. We joined together in congregations to
share his word. And we prepared ourselves for the future he said was coming.
Where were you when Michael Altman was assassinated by our government? It's
the question of our generation, I suppose. It's certainly the day when
everything changed for me... and the world.
...
The martyring of the scientist-turned-savior Michael Altman begat fanatical
zealots and I was one of them. We birthed and maintained the tenements of a
new religion, known now as the Church of Unitology. I was only a follower but
I was suddenly part of the biggest social movement in history. The riots that
followed and the crippling of our government made us realize we finally had the
power to change things.
...
No one knows what is contained in the Black Marker. Some claim it contains
genetic string that grants immortality through gene therapy. Others say it
contains the DNA of an alien life form. Even Altman confessed to not knowing
exactly what it is for. The Marker has been used to form the basic doctrines
of the church. As claimed in the popular book, "Death is Only the Beginning."
humans will learn that by death of their worldly spirit, they will be reborn in
unity as a stronger, unending community. "Unity is forever."
...
Death is an important event in the journey of a Unitologist and seen as a
necessary step to being reborn. The body is considered holy and it may not be
cremated or be allowed to decay in the ground. The bodies are given to the
church for safekeeping. Where they are taken is unknown, but I have seen
massive Unitology compounds on all of the major settlements I have visited.
Curious, I asked around. No one would tell me what was housed inside, but I
uncovered evidence of massive shipments of preservative chemicals being sent to
the compounds on a regular basis.
It was around this time that my superior, Paragon Fontenay, brought me in for
my first "soul cleansing".
...
Despite the headaches and the nausea that continued to plague me, I managed to
sneak into the shipyard. I had almost regained full function of my legs and
was able to make it into what appeared to be the nerve center of the operation.
What I discovered were ships, massive ships and lots of them. Stasis storage
tubes lined each of the hundred of exposed cargo bays. I couldn't see any of
the bodies, but I knew what the tubes were for. What I couldn't figure out was
why the church needed to transport so many suspended bodies in what looked like
deep-space vessels.
Before I could investigate further, I was recaptured and the real "soul
cleansings" began.
--> The USG Ishimura
(From a CEC-sponsored article in publication, Amazing Universe)
As many of our older readers may recall, resource management on Earth and on
the colonies was not always as streamlined as it is today. There was a time
when needs could barely be met by the now-extinct resources of Earth and the
dwindling supplies of the colonies. Looking to the starts for additional
resources is nothing new, but at the time only smaller ships were shockpoint-
able and they were insufficient at keeping up with demand.
Enter the Ishimura.
The USG Ishimura, named after Astro Physicist Hideki Ishimura (inventor of the
shockpoint drive), was the first of the massive Planet Cracker ships. Built 62
years ago, she has a long and storied career. The Ishimura was the first
vessel of her size to utilize the shockpoint drive for large-scale, commercial,
deep space expeditions.
At the time of her inception, the Ishimura was hailed as the savior of the
Earth colonies. She was created to mine and melt down entire small planets and
moons. She was also the first ship capable of the "scan and catch" technique
for harvesting mineral-rich asteroids. Using huge gravity tethers, the
Ishimura can lock onto asteroids and pull them inside the ship's massive
collection bays for smelting.
At 62 years old, the Ishimura is still in remarkable shape. Much of the
equipment has been upgraded over the years. Many spaces have been retrofitted
to take advantage of modern advances in technology. Despite the long years of
service, she is still the pride of the fleet and remains the largest Planet
Cracker in the fleet. Whenever an important deep space mining project comes up
and the Ishimura is available, she's the first ship to be called.
It's ships like the Ishimura - and the dedication of the men and women who crew
her - that have helped make Concordance Extraction Company the trusted,
dependable workhorse that it is today.

From: XXXXXXXXXX
Re: Background request
Per your request, here's what we could find on your hastily-assembled crew.
ISAAC CLARKE
Isaac was born to Paul and Octavia Clark on Earth in the eastern seaboard
region of the American Republic. Paul Clarke was an award-winning ship
architect employed by the Galactic Union Marine Corp. His record shows
extended time off-world away from his family.
When Isaac was born, Paul was given temporary reassignment to an Earth-based
GUMMC ship production facility. During the four-year tour, Paul and Octavia
raised Isaac together. When the tour was over, Paul shipped off for an
extended off-world tour.
Paul's influence on his son must have rubbed off. Records indicated Isaac
pursued studies in mechanical and electrical engineering and achieved high
honors.
According to medical and psychiatric reports, Paul Clarke's absence had a
profound effect on Octavia. She suffered from depression and personal anguish
until doctors encouraged her to find fulfillment by working with charitable
organizations. It is believed that this is how she ended up coming in contact
with the Church of Unitology.
The association with the Church appears to have alleviated her mental
condition. The cancellation of her therapy sessions corresponds with the local
parish announcements of her initiation ceremony.
At this point, records on her become somewhat scarce. There are indications
that she sold off much of the family estate to finance her full membership in
the church.
Isaac appears to have been selected to a prominent engineering school but we
surmise that he was unable to afford the tuition, as records show that he
instead attended a lesser-known school with the help of scholarships and
financial assistance.
After graduating with high honors, Isaac enlisted in the Merchant Marines. He
quickly gained a reputation for his resourceful engineering solutions and after
two years was promoted to a higher-profile position closer to the major
shipping lanes.
There are several inquiries about the location of his father that have been
logged by his contacts at the GUMMC. Isaac appears to have been trying to re-
unite with him unsuccessfully for years. It's doubtful he ever got far in his
investigation as Paul Clarke's service record has been mysteriously classified
by an executive order.
Octavia continues to be a contributing member of her church and has managed to
purchase a Vested-level title.
Isaac's career stagnates at this point. There are records that he cohabited
with a medical officer named Nicole Brennan for a couple of years. Records
indicate she moved out after receiving a promotion and is currently serving on
the USG Ishimura.

I couldn't find anything on her in the time I had but Darlton swears by her.
She is on the mission with his recommendation. If he thinks she has the
necessary skills, who am I to argue?
--> Planetary Mining
(Excerpt from the CEC shareholder information packet on planetary mining)
PLANET CRACKING
Planetary mining is, quite literally, the dismantling of planets and moons on a
macro-scale. Entire worlds are fractured to reveal the rich seams of valuable
minerals contained inside. Despite environmentalist concerns, the operation is
perfectly safe and is the only way to extract the necessary resources on the
large scale required to supply Earth and the colonies.
You may have read reports that claim the destruction of a planet can destroy an
entire solar system due to the disruption in the gravitation forces that hold
each celestial object in place. Some of the wilder reports claim this causes
planets to smash into each other. Concerned investors are directed to read the
article "The CEC Pledge to the Health of Our Universe" for a detailed breakdown
of the truths about Planet Cracking. The short answer is: Planet Cracking is
perfectly safe and provides an essential service to Earth and the colonies.
With all Planet Cracks, the planets are carefully chosen for their mineral
content, net worth, and the safety with which they can be dismantled.
Planet Cracking is a lengthy process spanning from three to five years.
Generally, the first year is spent prospecting and setting up the colony. The
second year and a half involves tectonic excavation and related planet-side
activities.
The Planet Cracker class ship arrives between the 2.5 and 3 year mark,
depending on the progress of the excavation. Once the ship is in orbit,
preparation for tectonic chunk extraction begins. This takes approximately one
week.
The removal of an excavated chunk from the planet into a stabilized
geosynchronous orbit usually takes about 1 day (24 standard hours). During
this process, billions of tons of debris break off from the underside of the
chunk, creating an instant asteroid ring around the planet. While floating
debris is extremely dangerous, the Planet Cracker ships have an excellent
Asteroid Defense system (ROS) to keep the ship and crew safe from harm.
Depending on the size of the planet, this process is repeated until the entire
planet has been broken up and processed.
ABOUT US
The CEC is the largest solar mining and extraction company in the Earth
colonies. It is also the fifth largest company in terms of market capital. It
has become a powerhouse of industrial might and an influential political force.
With a generous budget allocated to election spending, CEC has always been able
to maintain and improve its market position.
The CEC owns over 400 deep space vehicles including five Planet Crackers, with
the famous USG Ishimura as its flagship. The CEC was the first to develop deep
space mining, asteroid catchers and was the first to implement shockpoint
drives for commercial use. We are the largest supplier of precious metals.
Out of over three dozen Planet Cracks, only one operation has met with less
than optimal results. Many may remember the Wanat Disaster 11 years ago
wherein a Planet Cracker, three supply ships and a colony were lost due to
gravity tether failure. Since that time, CEC has worked closely with the
manufacturers and held crew training lectures to ensure a disaster of this
magnitude never happens again.
We take your financial well-being and the well-being of our employers
seriously. When you invest in CEC, you are investing in the future of mankind.

Personal Log: Dr. G. Abernathy, automated transcript
(Restricted access - Maximum encryption)
Day three of quarantine for the former Drs. Clifton and Hogan. The infection
is spreading quickly through Dr. Clifton. Dr. Hogan appears unaffected at this
time.
The chest of the corpse has started to expand, like it's taking a deep breath.
Something appears to be happening under the surface of the skin. The body is
convulsing - a yellowish briny liquid bursts from the mouth accompanied by
choking noises. There's a crunching noise as the throat bulges and the jaw
collapses. The head is splitting apart... reforming now into what appears to
be a proboscis and feeler. The chest splits along the center now as the flesh
stretches and expands outwards; the organs, bone and muscle bend inwards. The
internal organs contort and reorganize themselves into an odd structure central
to which is a massive bladder. The bladder is filling with a liquid, some of
which can be seen spilling from proboscis. I can only assume the two are
connected.
The legs are quivering as the flesh peels away and meshes with the flesh from
the chest region. There is a sudden snap halfway through the process as one
leg bends backwards. More quivering now and the other leg has snapped at the
knee. The changes appear to be slowing now... It starts to sit up, the body is
convulsing, the legs flopping. It is trying to take its first step, uneasy at
first... but now it is adapting quickly. A half-dozen steps and it seems to be
perfectly at home with its new, contorted form.
The splattering on the glass is making observation difficult. It appears that
Dr. Hogan's legs are elongating, somehow flaying themselves and now twisting
with a mixture of his own internal organs into a single appendage, like some
sort of tail. His face is contorted, his jaw clenching and unclenching...
several jaw-like appendages are emerging from his every widening mouth. His
mouth no longer appears able to accommodate the change... his head is
splitting, seams bursting...
And almost instantly, he is perched on his hands, shifting his weight from one
palm to the other. He's pacing, circling the room and... he appears to be
watching me! He sees me! No, he's fixated on the ceiling now... Oh god no,
he's leaping at the vent! With his powerful tail-like appendage, he's striking
at the reinforced covering, trying to get it open! I must warn the others!
Recording end!
--> The Red Marker
RECOVERED FILE FRAGMENTS
FROM: DR. EANDO DUKAJ
TO: GENERAL AMBROSE CAIDEN
(Restricted access - Maximum encryption)
Altman's hasty expulsion from the project is unfortunate. His notes on the
Black Marker appear incomplete and our findings thus far have been
inconclusive. What notes we have recovered appear to be written in a code of
his devising. It will be weeks before we can decipher them. In the meantime,
someone has to shut him up. His public outcry about the Marker is more than a
nuisance. This is a matter of security.
...
Funding has been insufficient. Moving the research to Aegis VII is only
aggravating the problem. I understand the pressure to relocate the project
outside the reach of the oversight committees but this has only inflated our
resource requirements.
We are on the verge of cracking the replication code we extracted from the
Black Marker. It would be a shame to come this far and have to scrap the
project.
...
The continued financial infusion over the years has been appreciated and I'm
pleased to share the results with you today. While some of our material
fabrications are approximations of substances foreign to us, we have completed
the internal workings of the device. One obvious difference between our
replica and the original is the reddish hue. I assure you this is purely a
cosmetic difference not indicative of a flaw.
The device, when activated, began to emit a highly complicated rhythmic pattern
across a wide band of frequencies - from actual sound waves through the
electromagnetic spectrum to alpha, delta and theta brain waves. It seems
mostly inert and harmless aside from some slight interference with
communication equipment.
We are proceeding with the final construction.
...
We've run into a disturbing but fascinating find, in re-creating the DNA
instructions gleaned from the Black Marker, we've managed to create a
recombinant microbial life form. It seemed dormant at first, even when placed
in a batch of rich nutrients. Were it not for Dr. Clifton's poor hygiene, we
might have deemed the attempt a failure. Fortunately for us, he had not fully
decontaminated himself before working with the sample and managed to
contaminate it with some dead skin cells. Suddenly, the microbes jumped into
action! Recombination happened almost instantly and the sample began self-
replicating and mutating before our eyes.
...
More confounding results from our research:
Today, as we moved what we're now calling the Red Marker, we had to pass by the
cellular lab area. The scientists working at the time complained about
interruptions in the necrotic flesh experiments. As it turns out, the field
generated by the Marker creates a "dead space" around itself that forces the
recombination effect into dormancy.
...
I apologize for the setback relayed in the last report. The macro-scale
infection has been contained with a minimal loss of life. The newly
recombinated doctors are now quarantined for further study.
...
Many of the scientists have been complaining of headaches and we are all having
difficulty sleeping for more than an hour at a time. We suspect a problem in
the ventilation system. The maintenance team reported finding a build-up of
some kind blocking the airways.
...
The organic mass continues to expand and take over the complex. The
recombinated nightmares now move freely through the corridors. My remaining
crew is hastily constructing a transmitter for the Marker in an attempt to
broaden the signal it is emanating. Dr. Foster said the idea came to him in a
vision. Our hope is to use the signal to keep the unchecked infection from
spreading to the landing area. There is little time remaining! You must send
help as quickly as possible! Our lives are in your hands.
===============================================================================
Impossible Mode Tips [LI08]
===============================================================================
============
General Tips
============
- Have about three different saves or at the very least two. Save often. If
you make it past a certain part without any damage and you deem that part the
slightest bit hard then you might want to think about going back to the nearest
save point and saving. It really pays to be cautious.
- Wait until a weapon is near empty then use a Power Node to upgrade its
capacity to get full ammo once again plus the additional ammo from the upgrade.
- Don't place a weapon in a safe that often since its ammo count will be
reduced to one shot once it is placed back in Isaac's inventory. Try to refill
the near empty weapon by upgrading the gun's capacity if you do this.
Switching to the Contact Beam is really the only reason to put another weapon
up since the Force Gun, Pulse Rifle and Line Gun can handle just about
everything.
- Upgrade your hit points for the RIG at an upgrade bench whenever Isaac is low
in health and this will restore his health to full.
- If an item doesn't drop from a human-like enemy (Slasher, Stasis Slasher),
try to grapple the body with kinesis to make sure that it is dead. Only dead
bodies can be grappled.
- When fighting a Stinger by itself, shoot it with stasis then stomp off its
head and arms to save ammo while killing it. Try to use stasis along with
Isaac's boot to finish off fallen Slashers as well. Be sure to get a feel of
the amount of time that stasis will last however since you don't want to be
near either one as stasis wears off.
- Hoard all health items found in a chapter and be sure to use small med packs
before larger packs to save inventory space. Refrain from using Large Med
Packs as much as possible and store them in a safe for later in the game.
- Try to put back some ammo if you start to get a lot of it in your inventory.
Limit yourself on purpose to conserve ammo for a later chapter - don't splurge!
- Just about every item in the game can be grappled and brought toward Isaac,
so if you know of a place where an enemy will attack near a certain item pickup
then simply grapple the item from a distance and collect it to avoid
confrontation. Grappling an item can also be useful for obtaining an item
early or without any stress while near a room where enemies will ambush Isaac.
- If you have an option to run from an encounter then do so. Haul ass, don't
play hero!
- Purchase the Line Gun, Pulse Rifle, Force Gun, and Contact Beam and leave all
the other weapons. The Flamethrower is useful against Lurkers but I recommend
using another weapon on them to keep from buying another gun. Once the Force
Gun is obtained, keep the Plasma Cutter, Pulse Rifle, Line Gun and Force Gun
with Isaac most of the time. Only equip the Contact Beam when you know that
you are about to fight a Brute.
- Contact Beam energy sells for 4000 credits per shot, so it's good to hoard
all of it that you can and sell it early in the game. You might want to try
carrying it in your inventory just so you'll receive ammo for it from random
pickups then sell the ammo for extra credits.
- Buy Power Nodes as much as possible but try to keep around 20000 credits
available at all times just in case you need to buy some extra ammo or med
packs.
- Upgrade your hit points through the RIG before just about anything else.
Don't focus on air upgrades since it really only helps you out for a few rooms
early in the game.
- Attack upgrades are the main priority when upgrading a weapon but capacity
can help out, especially when you're low in ammo. Reload should only be bought
if it is conveniently placed near an attack upgrade - don't go out of your way
to reach one on the plug table.
- Use the Armor Glitch showcased below the Cheats in the Extras section of this
guide.
=================
Enemy Combat Tips
=================
- Slasher Combat. Shoot off a leg with the Plasma Cutter or Line Gun then
begin to shoot off an arm. For multiple Slashers it might be best to use the
Line Gun especially against Dark Slashers.
- Stingers. When fighting one solo, stasis it then stomp off its arms and
head. When fighting more than one, use the Line Gun or Plasma Cutter. When
fighting a Dark Stinger, stasis it then fire a mine from the Line Gun below it
- this can also work well for multiple normal Stingers.
- Lurkers. Try to aim for their appendages when they attack but don't let this
get you hit or make you waste ammo. Shooting them normally takes off just as
much. Use the Plasma Cutter or Pulse Rifle until you get the Force Gun then
aim carefully and use only force grenades against them when they appear.
- Brute Combat. Stasis the Brute then cut off a leg with the Line Gun or
Contact Beam. Get far away from the wounded Brute and grapple his pods with
kinesis as he shoots them at Isaac then fire them back. Keep catching and
firing them back from a distance to finish him off without the need to waste
any further ammo. If you opt to use a Line Gun then fire a mine at the Brute's
back when it hunches over.
- Spawners. Stasis them when the tentacles move out of their chest then shoot a
Line Gun mine directly toward the center of them and this will usually kill
them. Launch an explosive canister at them when available.
- Stasis Slasher. Force Gun blasts still work just as well against these
enemies as they do in other modes. You might want to mix in force grenades
more often when they are knocked own or at a distance.
- Tentacles. For the tentacles that drag Isaac, it is best to keep your Pulse
Rifle attack level upgraded to finish them off quicker while shooting them.
============
Chapter Tips
============
---------
Chapter 1
---------
- (Flight Lounge) Try to get to the elevator without getting hit by the
Slashers. Save at the save station outside before interacting with the
controls. Once Isaac makes it to the elevator doors, you'll have to sidestep a
bit to avoid the Slasher's blade arms while it is behind Isaac. Don't stress
that much if you're only hit once since you'll get quite a few small med packs
in this chapter.
- (Tram Repair Room) Opening the Item Container on the far wall will make a
Slasher bust through the vent to the left of it. Wait until you kill the
second Slasher that appears after connecting the tram repair then run over to
the Item Container and open it, collect the item, then run out of the Tram
Repair Room.
- (Tram Tunnel) You don't have to fight either of the enemies on the way back
through the tunnel. Simply run by them and shoot them with stasis if needed.
It really helps to shoot the Slasher with stasis since Isaac will have to open
a door on the other side.
- (Maintenance Bay) You'll need to take advantage of the explosive canisters in
this area in order to defeat the Slashers without wasting ammo. Try to wound
most of them then run by them and lead a group of them toward an explosive
canister then shoot the canister. You need to conserve some ammo for the top
floor Slashers. When the elevators doors open on the way back down to the
bottom floor, be ready to shoot the outside Slasher with stasis.
- (Maintenance Bay) After collecting the Data Board, leave the room and run to
the right then shoot the approaching Slasher with stasis and run by him. Shoot
the fallen Slasher with stasis that lies by the elevator and open the doors
then get inside the elevator and leave the area. These Slashers will actually
follow Isaac to the floor above however, so right when the elevator doors open,
stasis the Slasher that runs toward Isaac then quickly run to the doors of the
Tram Control and enter the room - you might have to stasis the Slashers as they
drop from the ceiling. Either way, you don't have to return to this room once
Isaac gets inside the Tram Control.
- (Corridor to Flight Lounge) Follow the Slasher as it moves ahead of Isaac
then quickly run by it as it crawls into the vent then open the door to the
Flight Lounge and step inside. Prepare to use stasis on the Slasher that drops
from behind if the door takes too long to open.
- (Hangar Bay) Stasis mixed with stomping works well for the first Stinger.
Shoot the Slashers from a distance and cut off a leg to wound them before they
get too close in order to slow them down.
---------
Chapter 2
---------
- (Main Lab) Carry some med packs into this area with you. The best place to
stand during the quarantine, while on the top floor, is either in the corner to
the left after stepping through the first door, or the corner right near the
elevator on the other side. Try to cut off the legs from all the Slashers
first then finish them off.
- (Main Lab - Bottom Floor) If you look on the bottom floor from the top
walkway, you might be able to shoot one of the crawling Slashers below. Run to
the back restroom and prepare to shoot off the legs of the Slashers that
attack. Remember that all enemies are not out of the area until the quarantine
lifts, so keep your guard up if all becomes quiet yet the quarantine is still
in place.
- (Lab) Run from the Lurkers on the second floor and get to the next door on
that floor. They will follow Isaac to the next room very easily if the door
remains open so rush through the next few rooms.
- (Corridor to Security Station) Prepare to shoot the first Slasher with stasis
while moving around the corner. There is a stasis recharger nearby so don't
worry about wasting stasis here.
- (Imaging Diagnostics Room) While only one is attacking, you can stasis a
Stinger then stomp it to death. Use the Plasma Cutter or the Pulse Rifle/Line
Gun to defeat them. A carefully placed stasis to stun both followed by a Line
Gun mine right below both of them should be enough to finish both of them off.
- (Zero-G Therapy) Either toss explosive barrels at the Stingers with kinesis
or ignore them and jump to the other side of the room and exit the room on your
way back through this room. It's really safer to fight them by tossing
explosive canisters at them with kinesis.
- (Zero-G Therapy Hallway) When moving back through the vacuum, stasis the
Slasher that attack and run by him then be sure to have some stasis ready for
the Slasher that falls through the ceiling in the airlock chamber up ahead.
- (Imaging Diagnostics Room) Stasis then run by the Stinger that attacks on the
bottom floor. You'll need to take out a Pulse Rifle and shoot the group of
Spiders in the next room.
* Buy a Line Gun before going to the Morgue
- (Emergency Room) Defeat the first Slasher and Lurker like normal. When
moving around the right corner take out the Line Gun and cut off the legs of
the Slasher that falls then run ahead and either shoot or stasis the crawling
Slasher then turn around and take them all on from one side. If you stand on
the other side then one will drop behind Isaac. Instead of moving all the way
down the hall to destroy the Item Boxes further ahead, use kinesis to bring
them toward Isaac so the three Slashers will not enter the room from going to
the very end of the side hallway.
- (Morgue) Find the two dead bodies in this room and use kinesis to grapple
them from a distance then mutilate them before the Infector appears. Use the
Line Gun to cut off the Dark Slasher's legs after it breaks through the glass
and try to angle the shot so that it shoot the Infector behind the Slasher.
Switch to the Pulse Rifle instead of reloading the Line Gun then finish them
both off.
---------
Chapter 3
---------
- (Gondola Area) While Isaac is on the gondola heading to the other side, have
the Line Gun ready and shoot a mine toward the floor on the catwalk along the
other side as the Slashers gather to kill a bunch of them.
- (Centrifuge Chamber) Find the explosive canisters floating around the room
and grapple them then shoot them at the Stingers that appear. Make sure you
know where a Stinger is before attempting to grapple an explosive canister.
- (Engine Room) Find the three explosive canisters on the right side of the
room and place them all behind the engine controls. Activate the engine then
grapple each canister and begin to fire them toward the approaching group of
Slashers.
---------
Chapter 4
---------
- While in the vacuum area, on the way back from shooting asteroids with the
ADS Cannon, run past both of the Stingers that attack and get to the exit door
then leave them behind.
- (Hallway to Tram) While backtracking to the tram, two Slashers will fall down
from the ceiling and attack Isaac - one from behind and from up ahead. Use the
Plasma Cutter to shoot off the leg of the one directly ahead then run past it
and exit the area.
---------
Chapter 5
---------
- Take a Stasis Pack along with you to the room before the ER Hallway since
you'll need to constantly slow the Regenerator with stasis during the battle
inside. A few med packs wouldn't hurt either.
- On the way back through the Regenerator Room, stasis anything that gets in
Isaac's way (Pregnants or Regenerator) and run back to the Security Station.
You don't need to slow down the Lurkers in the corridor since they'll be
exiting the hole in the wall to the left as Isaac runs by.
- (Cryogenics Lab) Smash all the item boxes and collect the random ammo as
Mercer talks. Stand on the opposite side of the freezing chamber as the
Regenerator appears then allow him to walk inside and blow off a leg with the
Line Gun then shoot him with stasis. While the Regenerator is stunned, ignore
the Lurkers and run to either side door of the control room then freeze him by
using the controls inside. Only fight a Lurker if it manages to get inside of
the control room with Isaac.
---------
Chapter 6
---------
- (West Grow Chamber) Immediately head to the left upon entering then run to
the door of Greenhouse A on that side. Turn to the right at the corner in
front of the door and use the Force Gun to blast the approaching Slasher from
the side to stagger him then quickly enter the Greenhouse. Stomp the pod
inside while waiting for the Slashers to show up. If they group around the
open doorway then fire a force grenade at them. As the Slashers fall through
the ceiling shoot them with a force blast or force grenade. Try to group them
together and shoot them with a force grenade.
- (West Grow Chamber) After fighting off the first wave of enemies, anticipate
the arrival of the rest of the enemies and keep an explosive canister nearby to
launch at them. Shortly after the pod in Greenhouse B is destroyed, a Dark
Slasher will bust through a nearby vent, so carry an explosive canister into
the Greenhouse with you.
- (Refrigeration West) Aim carefully and fire force grenades at the Lurkers
when they showcase their appendages. Grapple a nearby explosive canister in
the room near the exit door and fire it at the final (third) Lurker.
- (Air Filtration) Shoot/fire explosive canisters at the fuse boxes to open the
doors before entering the flame rooms. Fire an explosive canister at the
Slasher that moves through the final door - wait for him to cross the flame
rooms.
- (West Grow Chamber) When reentering the West Grow Chamber, stand inside the
elevator and peek into the outside room to see where the Pregnant is. The exit
door that Isaac needs to move through is off to the left after exiting the
elevator, so run directly to it. Shoot the Pregnant with stasis if needed.
- Right after opening the door to the Hallway to East Tower, shoot the Spawner
on the far wall with stasis then fire a mine at him with the Line Gun. If he
survives the mine then shoot him with force grenades.
- Put up the Line Gun and be sure to have the Contact Beam ready when entering
the East Grow Chamber since a Brute will attack. Use a Stasis Pack to recharge
before entering if needed. If you think you can deal with him while using the
Line Gun then use it instead the Contact Beam.
- (Refrigeration East) Shoot the Lurkers with force grenades. Try to keep
multiple Lurkers in view when fighting the two pairs.
- (Hallway to East Tower) On your way back to the Hallway to East Tower,
grapple and take an explosive canister to the door of the hallway then open the
door and quickly fire the canister at the group of three Slashers that dash
toward Isaac from the outside catwalk.
- (Food Storage) Use the Leviathan's pods to damage its weak point when it
opens its mouth - use the first and third pod to cancel the second and fourth
respectively then fire the fifth pod directly toward the weak point in the back
of the Leviathan's open mouth. The Pulse Rifle works much better than the
Plasma Cutter this time for cutting off its tentacles. You can fire the
explosive canisters at its tentacles but this is really more trouble than it's
worth. The battle will take twice as long, so be sure to remain focused while
grappling the pods. A tentacle can easily screw up your timing when it starts
to fire pods while the tentacles are out, so try to move to a spot where a
tentacle does not block the path toward Isaac.
- (Food Storage) Be sure to find every single blinking light (item) in this
room and horde everything both before (stand in doorway and grapple), during
(run and tap the interact button) and after (search the room) the Leviathan
battle!
---------
Chapter 7
---------
- On the elevator ride down to Processing, use the Plasma Cutter to defeat
Slashers until two Slashers fall down from the ceiling at the same time then
quickly switch over to the Line Gun or Force Gun.
- (Processing Antechamber) Allow the Slashers in the area to see Isaac then run
all the way back to the elevator and take them down with a Plasma Cutter as
they walk into the corridor in front of it. You can easily take down the
Pregnant solo once all the Slashers are defeated.
- (Mineral Processing) Run all the way back and save your game just before
deactivating the gravity. Once gravity is deactivated, open the door to the
Power Node Room in the back of the controls and run toward the side with the
debris (right side). The left side of the room has a single vent on the
ceiling where the outside enemies will enter the room. Stand on the opposite
side with the Pulse Rifle armed and defeat them as they drop from the ceiling
vent. The Pregnant will not enter the room. Step outside once all the other
enemies are defeated then run by the Pregnant by taking the side across from it
over to the control room.
- The moment the elevator arrives at the Maintenance level, have your Force Gun
armed and rush through the doors and move down the left ramp then blast the
Infector to the left as it tries to infect the body. Even if you get hit by
the other Infector this is better than fighting the Dark Slasher that the other
Infector will create if left alone.
- (Maintenance Bay) During the Gondola ride in the Maintenance Bay, try to stay
constantly moving while shooting at the tentacle pods to avoid their
projectiles. Shoot the tentacles with the Plasma Cutter. The important part
is to shoot all the pods as early as possible.
- Start out using the Pulse Rifle to protect Nicole from the Slasher then
switch over to the Force Gun and shoot force grenades at the remainder of the
enemies. You could try to shoot the Lurker with the explosive canister on your
side.
- (Maintenance Bay) When moving back across the Gondola in the Maintenance Bay,
use the Plasma Cutter to shoot the first few tentacle pods then switch over to
the Force Gun and carefully aim and fire a force grenades at the Lurkers - if
you hit them just right then the blast will damage them badly and defeat any
nearby pods. Try to stay moving as much as possible and heal when needed.
Thankfully, you should have enough med packs from the other side to help out
here.
- (Mining Bay) It's good to bring a stasis pack to this area with you. Use the
Line Gun to defeat all three Dark Stingers (stasis them then fire a mine below
them). Run by the Lurkers on the other side of the asteroid and try to lure
them away from the asteroid while shooting the tethers then quickly place the
beacon just before you leave. Perform the tether shooting and beacon placing
quickly and you won't have many problems. Isaac always has a long animation
while placing the beacon, so you might have to wind up shooting the Lurkers
with force grenades.
- (Mining Hallway Control Room) When the quarantine activates after the
asteroid is launched, get on the side with the item chest and place Isaac's
back to the wall. Start out shooting the Slashers with the Line Gun then
switch to the Force Gun once the Dark Slashers enter the room. Use force
grenades while they are at a distance. Switch over to the Plasma Cutter once
only one Slasher remains.
- (RIG Room) When the elevator docks on the top floor once again, Crawlers will
be in the RIG Room. Run toward the door on the opposite side and interact with
it then move from side to side while it opens to try to avoid the Crawlers then
run to the tram. You could also hunt them down with force blasts - your call.
---------
Chapter 8
---------
- (Main Atrium) When the Exploders start to appear, run to the very back of the
Atrium and move down the stairs then pick them off from a distance with the
Pulse Rifle. Use a Force Gun on the Dark Slashers and the Line Gun on the Dark
Stinger.
- (ADS Hallway) Shoot each Spawner with stasis then shoot it with a mine from
the Line Gun. Don't waste too much time getting to the second Spawner directly
after shooting a mine at the first.
- (Comms Array Chamber) Stun the Dark Stingers with stasis then shoot a mine
from the Line Gun near them to finish them off rather quickly.
- (ADS Hallway) When backtracking to the tram, it is possible to run by the
Crawlers and get to the elevator in this area.
- (Main Atrium) While returning to the tram, shoot the Divider in the Atrium
with stasis then run to the Hallway to Tram. In the hallway, shoot the
Pregnant around the far corner (to the left) with stasis and run by it then run
to the tram.

Chapter 9

- (Ore Storage) Grapple all of the radiation orbs before stomping the fuses and
position them near the door, this way, you won't have to move around as much to
collect them while enemies are in the area. Use stasis on the Dark Stingers
then fire a mine below them with the Line Gun. Fire force grenades at the
Lurkers.
- (Cargo Room) Use the usual force blasts from the Force Gun to knock back the
Stasis Slashers as they run up to Isaac - aim for their upper half while
firing. Shoot them from a distance with force grenades, mainly when they are
knocked down.
- (Torpedo Room) Don't move any of the crates across from the entrance door or
a Stasis Slasher will bust through the nearby vent on that side and attack.
- (Armory) Stand in the hallway outside the Armory and allow the Divider to
move up to the door - he won't move through the doorway. Shoot him until he
splits into Crawlers then blast the Exploder that will walk up to the door to
destroy all the Crawlers. One Crawler might still remain but this will save
you the trouble of having to hunt them all down. Watch out for the other
Exploders that appear when Isaac walks deeper into the Armory.
- (Armory) Beat a few of the Shooting Gallery rounds to receive some extra
items.
- (Barracks) Walk into the room enough to where the quarantine activates then
run back to a corner near the entrance to face off against the enemies inside.
Keep the Force Gun equipped for the most part and use force blasts on close
enemies and force grenades on distance enemies. If a Stasis Slasher is not in
the area, shoot the Stingers with the Line Gun. The Exploders and Pregnant
will not attack if you stay on the entrance side. Hit the Exploders' explosive
arm with the Pulse Rifle and the Pregnants might get killed by the Exploder's
death. Remember that there is a Large Med Pack in a bed along the right wall
as you enter the Barracks.
- (Lower Engine Room) Either use the Contact Beam or the Line Gun to cut off a
leg from the Dark Brute then step away and catch his pods with kinesis and fire
them back at him. If you use the Line Gun then fire a mine onto his back as
soon as he crouches from taking damage then fill him full of primary blasts
from behind while the mine goes off - stand far enough away from the mine,
obviously. Bring a stasis pack if you think you might need it.
----------
Chapter 10
----------
- (Commons) Mutilate all the bodies since you'll fight an Infector in this room
later.
* Carry a stasis pack with you for the Dividers in the Mess Hall and the
Spawner in the room afterward!
- (Mess Hall - First Floor) Stay on the elevator when it reaches the bottom
then shoot the Dividers with stasis and blow off one of their legs with the
Line Gun. If they both move up to the elevator then you can easily shoot them
both with stasis. Quickly switch over to the Force Gun and shoot the Crawlers
that they split into.
- (Residential Lobby) Stasis the Spawner in the back then shoot a mine toward
it with the Line Gun. Be ready to fight off the Dark Slasher as it rushes
Isaac.
- (Sleep Block A Bunks) This part can be a little frustrating. You need to
have a high attack Pulse Rifle or Line Gun in order to defeat the Tentacle that
grabs Isaac. Be sure to aim well at its yellow weak point.
- (Sleep Block B) For the first room, stun the Pregnant with stasis then use a
Line Gun or Plasma Cutter to take down the Slasher. Use the Force Gun and aim
upward then shoot at the Pregnant to keep from hitting its stomach. Throughout
all of this, do not move to the other side of the room since a Dark Slasher
will get up and attack. Find the Dark Slasher as he lies on the ground then
shoot a mine near him and defeat him with Line Gun shots as he gets up to
attack. For the second room, use the Force Gun's grenades for the Lurkers and
fire force blasts at the rest of the enemies.
- (Residential Lobby) Wait for the Exploders to move out of the vent to the
right then shoot them with the Pulse Rifle. Try to wait for the Crawlers in
the background to get near the Exploders then shoot the Exploders to make them
destroy the Crawlers with their dying explosion.
- (Zero-G Basketball Court) Grapple the Small Med Pack to the right and bring
it to Isaac then quickly jump over to the middle wood piece and grab the Nav
Card then hop back over to the first wood piece and exit the room quickly
before the Dark Lurkers have much time to attack. To hell with the Zero-G
Basketball items unless you want to waste your ammo fighting the three Dark
Lurkers. Have a Line Gun ready for the Dark Slasher that falls from the
ceiling in the locker room.
- (Sleep Block C Bunks) Make sure that you bring a stasis pack to this room
with you. Pick up the last Nav Card then immediately rush back to the moveable
beds and run in between them. If you're fast enough then the Dark Slasher will
fall nearby as you turn to move the beds. Blow off his legs with the Line Gun
then immediately close off that section of the room by moving a bed in front of
it, then solve the rest of the puzzle to get back to the other side.
- (Sleep Block C Commons) Right after solving the bunk puzzle in the bunk room,
shoot the Regenerator with stasis after it falls from the ceiling then enter
the Commons area. Don't fight any enemies in here, run around the entire room
in a circle until Kendra unlocks the door. Quickly run toward the door and
stasis anything that tries to attack while it unlocks. Run toward the elevator
door and interact with it then turn and prepare to stasis anything that falls
from the ceiling of the elevator corridor.
- (Commons) Gather plenty of Force Gun ammo before continuing to the Security
Hallway since you'll need this for the enemies in the upcoming area.
- (Executive Sleep Block Commons) Stand at the door and aim upwards with the
Force Gun then blast the Pregnants in their upper portions. Walk into the room
as they are blown back but try to keep them gathered.
- (Executive Shuttle Bay) Right after initiating the test fire for the shuttle,
walk over toward the door of the control room then wait right near the ceiling
vent and stasis the Regenerator when he falls through it. Move toward the door
and open it as soon as it unlocks. The Stasis Slashers outside appear from
random areas, so be sure to keep a look out for them while your Force Gun is
equipped. Knock them back with force blasts. Wait for the Regenerator to step
onto the bridge behind the shuttle then blow off his legs with the Line Gun and
shoot him with stasis. Quickly run back to the control room after stunning him
then test fire the shuttle. The Stasis Slashers will not always give up their
pursuit once the Regenerator is defeated, so continue to watch for them even as
Kyne speaks. Watching out for the Stasis Slashers and answering their
aggression with a force blast upside the head is the most important part of
this battle. Upgrading the lasting time of stasis will help out for this area
but it is not required.
- (Commons) While the Infector infects Dr. Mercer on the second floor of the
Commons right after opening the door from the Security Hallway, run past the
lovely pair and take the elevator (to the left) to the bottom floor then run to
the tram. No need to fight, just run.
----------
Chapter 11
----------
* Be sure to carry a bunch of Force Gun ammo and/or Line Gun ammo to the Cargo
Bay.
- (Cargo Bay) Try to defeat the Exploder and Pregnant from the top floor when
you first enter. If you accidentally shoot the Pregnant's stomach then don't
worry much about the Lurkers that spawn - it's nothing a little force grenade
to the face won't fix.
- (Cargo Bay) When the enemies start to attack after the Marker is exposed, use
the Force Gun to knock down the Dark Slasher in the nearby room then run
inside. You'll need to knock back the attacking enemies with either force
blasts or line gun primary shots. Shoot them from a distance with force
grenades as they move down the corridors toward the room that Isaac is in.
- (Cargo Bay continued) The very second that the Marker is placed on the other
side of the tracks, haul ass all the way back to the elevator then immediately
take it back up to the top floor. If you do this quick enough then you won't
even have to fight any of the enemies. Use force blasts to knock back any
enemy that tries to attack while Isaac is on the elevator if they try to
attack. You are not safe on the top floor since the Dark Slashers will move
through the nearby vent, so quickly open the door and step into the nearby
hallway to get to safety.
- (Flight Lounge) When the room quarantines, run to the nearest door by the
cubbies then fire a mine on the middle floor of the room near the seats and
this will hit the falling Slashers. Blast the Slashers in the legs with
primary blasts from the Line Gun then fire another mine as the second wave
prepares to attack. Keep firing primary blasts with the Line Gun then switch
over to the Force Gun instead of reloading then start to fire force blasts and
grenades. If you can time the mines just right then the Line Gun is all that
you will need. Don't forget to open the door on the other side of the control
room for some extra pickups after the quarantine.
- (Hangar Bay) Be sure to collect the item pickups on the opposite side of the
Hangar once gravity is deactivated. Use force grenades to dispose of the
Lurkers and stun the Dark Stingers with stasis then shoot a mine at them with
the Line Gun. Try to group both of the Dark Stingers then shoot them with
stasis if possible.
- (Control Room A) Open the door to this room quickly from the outside hallway
since the Spawner inside will start launching tentacle pods when Isaac steps
near the door. Shoot it with stasis then fire a mine at it.
- (Hangar Bay [Runway 2]) How good are you at dodging with a sidestep? Run all
the way down the walkway with the Dark Stingers and move to the opposite side
that each of them is on as they lunge then quickly board the shuttle and
interact with the door inside. If you're not good at dodging or don't like to
take chances then stand near the doorway to the walkway and shoot force
grenades at the approaching Dark Stingers. Watch for their sudden lunges
however.
----------
Chapter 12
----------
- (Landing Pad) While the Marker is on the loader, pull it all the way toward
the shutter of the Gravity Tether Operations A entrance. Make sure that it is
right up against the big shutter; we want to make a quick escape out here upon
return.
- (Living Space) Mutilate all the bodies before opening the doors to the
freezer. Use the Pulse Rifle to quickly defeat the Infectors inside.
* Stock up on Med Kits (Large or Medium) before leaving.
- (Landing Pad) Right when you open the door to take the power unit out of the
Living Space, take the power unit out the door then drop it. Shoot the Divider
outside with stasis then quickly grapple the power unit and plug it into the
red power plug. Rush over to the door to Gravity Tether Operations A and open
it then step inside to completely avoid the Divider.
- (Supply Depot) This room can get incredibly intense, so be sure to stock up
on med kits to bring with you for this particular area. There is no clear safe
place to stand since vents are near all corners. Stand near the railing across
from the door on the back right side of the room from where you enter and run
between that railing and the door across from it. Don't stand still for too
long if you hear some yells behind Isaac. Switch between the Force Gun, Line
Gun, Pulse Rifle, and Plasma Cutter while fighting the enemies. You'll mainly
want to stick with the Line Gun for Dark Slashers, Force Gun (grenades) for
Lurkers and the Pulse Rifle for Exploders. Use the Plasma Cutter on Dark
Slashers that attack while no other enemies are in the area. If an Exploder
falls next to Isaac then shoot it with stasis and run by it then shoot it. The
Exploders and Dark Slashers can make for an extremely deadly combination. The
other enemy waves are nothing compared to the first. Be sure to check below
the railing for items that spawn from exploding enemies.
- (Gravity Control) Shoot each Spawner with stasis then shoot it with a mine.
You might have to resort to shooting off their remaining tentacles with the
Plasma Cutter or fire another mine at them. Stand behind a column if the
tentacle pods ever start to get too overwhelming.
- (Gravity Tube) Stop by the outside store and exchange the Plasma Cutter for
the Contact Beam for now. Shoot the first Dark Stinger with stasis then fire a
mine with the Line Gun and switch to the Pulse Rifle then shoot him while the
mine goes off. Use force grenades to defeat the first Dark Stinger. Once you
start to journey back through the tube, run directly past the Dark Stinger and
Dark Lurkers that attack and simply continue to stasis the fan blades in
Isaac's way and run by them. Don't stop to fight the enemies.
- (Gravity Control) Arm the Contact Beam and shoot the Brute with stasis as it
reaches your side of the bridge. Run behind it and shoot it in one of the back
legs with the Contact Beam. Try to get in two shots. Once it falls, take out
the Line Gun and fire a mine below it then hit with the Contact Beam. When a
leg is cut off, simply get far away from it and catch its acid pod then fire it
back at it to finish it.
* Stockpile Isaac with Force Gun and Line Gun ammo for the outside area ahead.
Bring at least two medium and one large med pack
- (Excavation Site) Collect all the ammo from both sides as Isaac enters this
area then pull the Marker onto the bridge. Wait for the Lurker to jump through
the vent on the left side of this area (while facing the entrance door) then
fire a force grenade at it and then spam it with force grenades until it dies.
A Stasis Slasher will pop through the vent on the opposite side, so knock it
down then spam it with force grenades. When the Dark Slasher moves through the
vent on the same side that the Lurker came from, use the Line Gun to blow off
his legs and defeat him. After those three enemies, start with the closest
tentacle and blast the first then the second up ahead with the Pulse Rifle.
- (Excavation Site continued) Step onto the bridge and move the Marker after
disposing of the first two tentacles. Move the Marker about halfway then turn
around. A Lurker should appear in the back of Isaac. Try your best to take
down the Lurker with force grenades before the Stasis Slashers appear. Wait
for the Stasis Slashers to get on the bridge then fire force grenades at them
and blast them back with force blasts if they get too close or stun them with
stasis if the force blasts don't knock them back. Spam them with force
grenades while they are on the ground. Turn back toward the last tentacle then
destroy it with the Pulse Rifle. Move the Marker the rest of the way to
complete this part. You've basically beaten the game now.
- (Landing Pad) What you really need more than anything else for this final
boss is the Pulse Rifle and Med Packs. You could actually take out all guns
but the Pulse Rifle from your inventory. Use all spare power nodes to upgrade
the Pulse Rifle (mainly for capacity and damage) and fill your inventory full
of Pulse Rifle ammo and med packs then step outside. The only other weapon you
might need is the Force Gun for Pregnants but if you constantly hit the boss in
its weak points then it can't fire out Pregnants!
- (Landing Pad) Remember that you can grapple the item boxes on the landing pad
from near the large crates and bring them toward Isaac before the actual boss
fight begins. The boss is easy if you spread damage on each of its five weak
points at the beginning of the battle. Since it will pick Isaac up after three
are destroyed, be sure to shoot each of the last three weak points a few times
to weaken them. When it picks Isaac up, fire at its weak points - you might
have to waste ammo here and spam the boss with fire in order to hit it.
Once it drops Isaac, immediately aim toward a weak point in its stomach then
fire at it. All you have to do now is run back and forth to the right and left
to dodge its tentacle smashes a total of four times each attack sequence then
blast off a weak point when it reveals them. If you keep destroying a weak
point every time, it will not have a chance to shoot Pregnants. All you have
to do is keep the pressure on with constant blasting of weak points throughout
this battle and the boss will attack with a very easy pattern... and you, my
friend will conquer Impossible mode!

CONTACT INFO [CI00]
*******************************************************************************
I can be reached at my email address, which is berserker_kev(at)yahoo.com, so
please contact me if you have any questions, comments, etc. Replace the (at)
with @. I don't mind receiving emails at all. Don't add me to your Yahoo
Messenger though; I use Yahoo Messenger only for close friends.
I do have a few guidelines however:
1) Give me a subject in the email, preferably one including the name of the
game. An actual subject looks damn sexy in my inbox compared to an
unattractive blank subject line.
2) Read the guide over and make sure that your question is not already
answered.
3) Please speak in English and attempt to use some correct grammar. This is in
no way meant to offend those that cannot speak English well. I have spoken
with some readers that claim they cannot speak English when, in fact, they
speak better English then some Americans. So basically if you "try" to talk
to me then that is good enough. :)
And last, but not least, if you found this walkthrough helpful, an email would
be most appreciated or you could sign the guestbook on my blog or give me a WUL
on IGN.
http://club.ign.com/b/about?username=berserker_kev&which=boards
It is very true that I write these guides as a hobby, but just that little
email that lets me know that I have helped someone always makes me feel special
for about five minutes. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone on the gaming boards
that you used a guide. ;)
*******************************************************************************
ABOUT ME [AM00]
*******************************************************************************
"I AM WHAT THE GAMES HAVE MADE ME!"
My name is Kevin Hall. I'm 28 years old and live in the US, in a small town in
Mississippi. Ever since I was really young, I have been a huge fan of video
games since I was first introduced to them via the Atari 2600 and NES 8-bit.
My favorite gaming series is the Resident Evil series followed closely by the
Castlevania series. I'm a complete horror gaming junkie - survival horrors are
my main cup of tea. Capcom is my favorite video game company. They hardly
ever let me down when it comes to games with plenty of replay value.
I enjoy being creative and hopefully that shows in my guides, specifically this
one, since I have put quite a bit of work into it. Whenever I sit down to
write a guide, I truly get "in the zone" and my perfectionist nature takes
over. My constant goal is to impress myself with my own work and that is one
very hard task to accomplish since, well... I am never satisfied. I could
easily see myself writing guides like this for years to come. If any gaming
company happens to read this and needs a strategy guide writer then please
contact me!
My known aliases are Berserker, berserker_kev, and Berserker93, though
"Berserker" or "Kev" is preferred. If you ever surf the IGN Resident Evil or
Castlevania boards or the Arctic Nightfall boards then look for me! I usually
only post up info on my blog now however, but I still move between the listed
boards every now and then.
Here are a few other bits of information about me:
