Classic Dead Space — Unlockables & Tips
Impossible mode, boss tactics and Peng.
The following are for the original (classic) Dead Space.
1.Completion Bonuses
Complete the game and save, then continue from the cleared file for: 10 Power Nodes, 50,000 credits, the back-story log entries, the Impossible difficulty and the Level 6 Military suit schematic.
2.Defeating the Final Boss
Don't be intimidated by its size; it's easy. Shoot the yellow 'blooms' around its mouth; after a few, it grabs you into the air — keep shooting the blooms and it drops you. It then slams its tentacles more often; strafe left-right constantly to avoid them. Shoot the hearts under its rib cage the same way; when it opens up, unload.
3.Dealing with the Hunter
The Hunter is a regenerating necromorph that can't be killed. Shoot off its legs (it doesn't regrow them immediately and moves slower), then freeze it. It returns in a later act; slow it the same way and burn it with the Rocket engines. Don't forget the Power Node it drops.
4.Defeating the Leviathan
Take out the tentacles first, then aim for the orange ball when the centre opens. Launch explosive canisters or the lathan pod into the centre.
5.Finding the Peng Treasure
On the flight deck in Chapter 13, in the room where your ship used to be, look between the walkways for a statue. Pick it up with kinesis for the Peng treasure (and its trophy); it sells for 30,000 credits.
6.Hidden Message
Take the first letter of each chapter, in order, to spell 'Nicole is dead'.
