Retrieve the Chemical Compound
Retrieving the Chemical Compound involves navigating the Autopsy Room and Chemical Lab, encountering new Necromorph types, and dealing with the persistent threat of the Hunter. You will need to locate specific items and activate controls while managing enemy encounters, including the Infector and the regenerating Hunter.
Enter the Autopsy Room to attempt to retrieve the Rig of Captain Ben Mathius. Here, you will encounter a new Necromorph type, the Infector, which can transform any headless corpse into a Necromorph. Take the Cargo Lift down towards the Chemical Lab. A Node Crate containing Power Node #23 will be immediately in front of you once you step off the lift.
Get to the Chemical Lab and turn off the broadcast. Unfortunately, the Hunter will be released from its tank. The Hunter cannot die; any limbs destroyed will regenerate in a few seconds. You need to clip its leg(s) off and use Stasis whenever you can to slow it down as you get away.
