Learn about corpse disposal, necrotization, and Voidouts in Death Stranding 2: On The Beach. Understand BTs and chiralium.
Walkthrough
- 1Observe the semi-interactive cutscenes (cinematic sequences) where you can move the camera.
- 2Listen to the dialogue between Sam and Igor of the Corpse Disposal team regarding the post-Death Stranding world.
- 3Understand that corpses necrotize (decay and become dangerous) within 48 hours of death, or slightly longer if kept on ice.
- 4If a corpse is not burned before necrosis, its soul will attempt to return to the body, becoming a BT (Beached Thing), an invisible creature.
- 5Contact between a living human and a BT causes a Voidout, an explosion that leaves a crater, akin to matter-antimatter annihilation.
- 6Understand that it is the BT, not the corpse itself, that causes a Voidout when unleashed near living humans.
- 7Note that standard practice is to burn bodies to prevent necrosis and Voidouts.
- 8Be aware that bodies release chiralium, which is dangerous in high quantities and attracts BTs.
- 9Witness the truck ambush where the corpse necrotizes, creating a BT in the middle of three living humans, resulting in a Voidout.
- 10After the Voidout, you will find yourself in the Seam, a space between the Beach and the world of the living.
- 11Locate the gold strand in the Seam.
- 12Aim your camera at the gold strand and hold down the square button to proceed.
- 13You will then wake up on the edge of a crater where Central Knot City used to be.
Tips
- Pay attention to the dialogue; it explains the crucial mechanics of necrotization and BTs.
- Remember that BTs are invisible creatures that can cause catastrophic Voidouts.
- Do not touch the BTs; they are dangerous.
- The Seam is a place Sam enters upon dying; avoid getting too familiar with it.
