Detecting Alien
If you lose track of where the alien is you will still be able to hear it if you listen carefully. Soft booms coming from above tell you the alien is in the air ducts and be suspicious of doors that suddenly open as all doors will automatically open when something moves in front of them. Stay away from drool trickling down from air ducts in the cieling as there is the likelihood the alien is waiting for you to pass underneath so it can reach down and kill you.
Track Alien
A good strategy is to keep the alien in sight whenever possilbe. There will be times like when you are crawling through ducts that you will not be able to do this but knowing where the alien is will enable you to avoid unpleasant surprises. Make sure you keep the alien in the corner of your eye while maneuvering in the opposite direction by using the 'Lean' function.
Easy Difficulty
In any other game Alien: Isolation's 'Easy' difficulty would be considered 'Normal' difficulty so if you find yourself struggling to get past a particular section without getting killed by the alien you may want to consider dropping things down a notch. This can be easily done during gameplay.
Avoid Running
Although Amanda Ripley can run in the game you will quickly discover that it is not a good idea as your footsteps will attract the alien to your location almost immediately. You will be in less danger and increase your chances of surviving if you slowly move down an open hallway.
Alien Movie
Alien: Isolation has been made with a large amount of devotion to Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi movie classic Alien so it is advised that you watch it as there are plenty of small details that you will otherwise likely miss and it will help you get into the spirit of the game.
Unlock Doors and Vents
If you have the time make sure you unlock any doors or vents you come across as there is always the chance that you will return to the same area again at a later stage and you may need an escape route if you are being chased be an alien.
ID Tag Locations
The video below will help you if you are struggling to find the location of ALL 50 ID Tags to get the 'The Taken' Trophy. ID Tags are saved automatically and can be viewed when collected under the 'Map' menu. You will not need to collect them again if you die.
