Secret Ending Dead Space (2023)

Yes, Isaac's story has an alternative ending, it's worth your attention. In this guide, we will tell you how to unlock it, but we will refrain from spoilers.

New Game+

The first thing you need to do is beat the game for the first time. By unlocking the New Game Plus mode, you can replay the remake with many different bonuses and the ability to unlock an alternate ending.

This doesn't mean you have to skim past the audio logs on your first run. No, give the game maximum attention, as well as all the details of the plot and environment. When you play again, you can (optionally) increase the level of difficulty.

Collect all fragments

The fragments will be scattered throughout Ishimura. And they will appear exclusively in the new game +. Most chapters contain one fragment. There are two of them in the fifth and tenth chapters, but in the ninth chapter there is not a single one.

Obelisk Fragment 1

At the beginning of the game, you will be prompted to start the monorail by completing two tasks: replace the damaged car and find the data tablet. Go to the missions section and start tracking the second target, then follow the marker to the Maintenance Bay. When you get there, you need to take the elevator up and use the Circuit Breaker to redirect the power to the maintenance room.

Obelisk Fragment 2

Shortly after the beginning of the chapter, you will have to destroy the barricade blocking the morgue. To do this, you need to fulfill two goals: find a tank of hydrazine and find a shock absorber. Start tracking the second task.

Follow the marker to get to the Main Lab. As soon as you get there, the room will be closed for quarantine, and all doors will be blocked until you kill all the enemies (on both floors). Once the lockdown is lifted, look on the map for an office marked "Dr. T. Kine, Chief Scientist" (located on the bottom floor). This office has a hidden room hidden behind a large set of shelves.

Obelisk Fragment 3

After fighting the giant tentacle and passing through the decontamination area, take the cargo elevator upstairs and solve a simple stasis puzzle with several fans. Next, go through a heavily infested area to get into the Engine Room.

Clear the area of enemies and find a small niche marked "Power Sub-Station 003" (Power Sub-Station 003).

Facing her, turn left and look into the dark area a little behind, and you'll find the third obelisk fragment in the shadows.

Obelisk Fragment 4

Select the indicated target and follow the marker. You will take the elevator down to the 3rd floor of the bridge (Bridge). Once there, find the Break Room on the map - this is the southernmost room. Go to this location and find a piece of the monolith on the floor.

Obelisk Fragment 5

After you meet Mercer and then complete the "Escape the Creature" objective, you will be given the next lockdown-related objective. Follow the tracker line to reach a small office marked "Dr. S. Mercer - 2SO". As soon as you enter the office, you will see a fragment lying on the table.

Obelisk Fragment 6

The indicated target will lead you to the Cryogenics location, where you will have to pick up liquid nitrogen before the battle with the Hunter, which ends with you using stasis on him, and then freezing him in a large cryogenic chamber.

Before you take liquid nitrogen and start the battle, stand outside the cryogenic chamber and go around it, looking up - this is how you will see the sixth fragment.

You won't be able to reach him, so use kinesis to pull him towards you. If you engage the Hunter first, then don't worry, as the fragment will still lie on top of the chamber after freezing the enemy.

Obelisk fragment 7

After getting the indicated objective, you will have to stand in the corner right on the upper deck of the East Grow Chamber.

Use your weightlessness to fly to the opposite corner of the room and you can see the fragment hidden in a small alcove.

Obelisk Fragment 8

As soon as you receive the admin access key, your clearance level will go up to 3rd. Before you start following the story marker, find a room on the map called "Mineral Samples", which is located on the left side of the Mineral Processing Area

Go to the indicated room and use the new access key to enter it. The fragment will stand on the shelf.

Obelisk fragment 9

In order to complete the stated objective, you need to solve the antenna repair puzzle, using stasis to connect shapes to nodes. Part of the monolith can be easily overlooked, since it is quite far from the puzzle.

Stand facing the communication control screen, and then go all the way to the left. You will see a fragment in a small corner inside the wall.

Fragments of the obelisk 10 and 11

10 fragment :

We are talking about the second cocoon, which must be destroyed on the instructions of Destroy Tendril in Deluxe Quarters. After arriving at the indicated area, clear the quarantine room. Once you've done that, exit this room and head down the corridor towards the Elite Sleeper Beds to grab the Power Pack.

Take the battery back to the corridor and place it in the power cell to turn on the Breaker. Use it to open the doors and then return to the Elite Rooms you came from.

In the southern part is a room called Deluxe Shift Bunks - the door to it is now open.

You will find a monolith piece on a table.

11 fragment :

This is the fourth cocoon that needs to be destroyed. As soon as you enter the General Manager's Office, you will see a cutscene featuring Dr. Kine, after which the door to the inquiry desks will open. There you will find not only your main goal, but also a piece of the monolith standing on the table.

Obelisk Fragment 12

• Plot: Chapter 11 - Alternative Solutions
• Objective: Use the Cargo Crane (Engage the Cargo Crane)

When you get to the cargo hold, get the task above. However, instead of doing it, go to the southeast corner of the cargo area, where you will see the last fragment of the obelisk - it will lie on a shelf.

After that, upon reaching chapter 11, you will need to go to the captain's cabin, where you can interact with a (very) bizarre relic. It "requires" all the collected fragments. Install them and complete the rest of the game like you did last time. Enjoy the new ending!
