Navigate the treacherous halls of Ishimura in Dead Space Chapter 5. This guide covers finding chemicals, dealing with the Regenerator, and escaping the clinic.
Walkthrough
- 1Head to the security station and save. Proceed to Imaging Diagnostics.
- 2In Imaging Diagnostics, kill the two babies. Continue to the next area where a wall monster will appear. Aim for its tentacles (four total) to defeat it. Alternatively, shoot a red canister at it when tentacles are exposed.
- 3Take the lift up. Shoot the baby that appears near the moving platform. Use stasis on the platform to cross, recharge, and repeat to save time.
- 4Enter the next area and take the lift down to the Chemical Lab.
- 5Listen to the audio log. Enter the open door to find a schematic, power node, and other items.
- 6Use the computer twice to obtain the chemicals. A new enemy will appear. Use stasis on it multiple times until Kendra speaks, then escape through the door you entered and the one on the left.
- 7Objective: Find the DNA Sample. Return to the previous area. Crawlers will emerge from a hole in the wall. Use the alternate fire of the Contact Beam at close range to defeat them.
- 8Head back towards security. More crawlers will appear; run past them. A large enemy will appear; refill your stasis and run past it.
- 9Return to your base area, save, and visit the store. Head to the clinic area.
- 10In the clinic, proceed until you meet the doctor again. Enter the opening door and prepare for combat. You cannot kill the Regenerator directly. Quickly kill the other enemies (female slashers and babies) that appear so Kendra can open the door faster.
- 11Use the Force Gun's mines to slow the Regenerator. Stasis the Regenerator when it appears, kill the females and babies.
- 12After clearing the room, head for the large door.
- 13Objective: Return to Security. Head back through the Emergency Room. If you have air cans, you can use them. Grab the red canister on the left and use it on the wall creature when its tentacles are exposed for a quick kill. Pick up the conductor and other items.
- 14Continue to Dr. Mercer's Office. Collect the conductor, audio log, and items. Use the computer.
- 15Run back towards security. Use the oxygen supply in the first hall of the emergency area if needed.
- 16You will encounter a swarm of crawlers; use the Contact Beam's alternate fire.
- 17In the main area, stasis the enemies blocking your path to the door and run through. Ignore the baby in the last hall.
- 18Reach security and use the computer near the save point to restore O2 levels.
- 19Objective: Return to Chemical Lab. Sell conductors and prepare for the next objective. Save your game.
- 20Head back into the hallway. The door will close and reopen. Recharge your stasis and enter the imaging area. Deal with any remaining swarms.
Tips
- Upgrade your weapons, but save around 40,000 credits.
- When fighting wall monsters, use red canisters for a quick kill.
- For the small crawlers, use a clip of ammo and then stomp them or shake them off. For the second set, run by them.
- For the clinic fight, bring at least five med packs, one stasis pack, and potentially a small air can. Bring at least four full packs of ammo.
- During the clinic fight, focus on stasis-hitting the Regenerator and shooting the females. Kill the baby, then the females, then stasis the Regenerator while taking out the last two females.
- If you have air cans, you can skip the emergency room air supply or move quickly.
- Use stasis packs to ensure you have enough stasis energy for the clinic enemies.
- When returning to security, use the alternate fire of the Contact Beam on crawlers.
- Stasis enemies blocking your path to the door when returning to security.
- Feel free to spend any remaining power nodes.
