Dead Space guide · Isaac must manually restart the Ishimura's engines and refuel the centrifuge.

Enemies

Leaper

Weak to Front limbs / Tentacle tails

Clings to walls and maneuvers rapidly in zero-G; severing limbs prevents them from lunging.

Lurker

Weak to Three barbed tentacles

Shoots ranged projectiles when its tentacles extend; sever the tentacles to dispatch them quickly.

Slasher

Weak to Arms / Legs

Common combatant; dismembering blades allows Isaac to impale them using Kinesis.

Tips

Use Kinesis to plug the two fuel generator modules into the Centrifuge before engaging the activation terminal on the central catwalk.
Once the Centrifuge spins up, sprint around the circular chamber trench using the alcoves to hide from the massive rotating arm to avoid instant death.
The decontamination sequence triggers a locked-room encounter with Slashers and Leapers dropping from vents; keeping your back to a corner helps manage the swarm.
