Learn how to defeat The Hunter in Dead Space (Remake) during Chapter 10. This guide covers kiting, using Stasis, and the thruster incineration strategy.
Alright, so you've made it to Chapter 10 and you're about to test the shuttle thrusters. After you get that singularity core installed, you'll need to head to the nearby control room to power them up. The game will even give you an objective marker if you're lost, so don't sweat it.
Here's the deal: right after the first test, the lights go out, and guess who shows up? The Hunter, along with a bunch of other Necromorphs. Your first priority is to thin out the regular baddies while keeping The Hunter at bay. If it gets too close for comfort, whip out your Stasis Module – there's a recharge station nearby, so you won't run dry. Keep moving, and try to pick off the other Necromorphs as they spawn. You don't want to get swarmed while dealing with the main event.
Once you've cleared some space and The Hunter is your main focus, you need to lure it to the back of the shuttle. This is where the thrusters are. Wait for it to get right behind you, then hit it with your Stasis Module. This should freeze it long enough for you to sprint back to the control room and hit that computer again to test the thrusters. If you nail the timing, The Hunter will get absolutely roasted. If you're too slow or get held up by straggler Necromorphs, it'll break free, and you'll have to repeat the process: kite it back, freeze it, and make a run for the controls.
Pro-Tip: Don't forget to use that Stasis recharge point on the wall! It's a lifesaver when you're trying to manage The Hunter and the other Necromorphs.
